Miley Cyrus discusses the strong connection she shares with her mom, Tish Cyrus.
Spin:
Miley Cyrus opens up about her heartfelt bond with mom Tish Cyrus in a recent interview with The New York Times. This emotional connection has found its way into the songs of her latest album, Something Beautiful.
One tune that stands out is "End of the World," penned when Miley's mom took a vacation to Italy, leaving her behind for a week. Recalling the intense feelings, Miley, now 32, describes, "It felt like the end of the world for both of us."
This wasn't the first time Tish had gone overseas without her daughter, but it was a new experience for Miley, one that left her feeling a bit too emotional for her age. "I'm too old to feel that way, but that's how I felt," the 32-year-old songstress confessed.
Interestingly, Tish's emotional phone call, expressing feelings of loneliness and longing, became the opening lyric of the song. Miley shared, "She said, 'I don't know why, but I want to cry today. I'm looking out my window, and there's nothing out there for me, because you're back home.'"
Though there's no current confirmation of a song titled "End of the World" or an album called Something Beautiful, the themes of family and emotional bonds are common in Miley's music. Her mother's influence is apparent, with Miley often crediting Tish as her closest friend and biggest inspiration.
In a statement addressing misconceptions about their relationship, Miley clarified, "My mom and I share a bond that nothing could ever disrupt. She’s my closest friend." She further expressed that she has learned to let go of her mother in certain situations, stating, "My mom no longer travels with me, because I'm 32 years old, and it was getting ridiculous."
Despite letting go, Miley emphasized she never wants to detach from Tish completely. "I never want to detach from my mom, because we’re so close. I'll get tears in my eyes even talking about her," she shared, adding, "If nature plays its course in the way that it does, I will be an individual without my mom at some point, and that used to completely paralyze me."
