I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME is reflective and gut-wrenching.

Noah Cyrus deserves all the credit she has received and more. Being part of such an influential family, it can be difficult to truly create a name for yourself. Noah Cyrus has created an image that is raw and shouts from the heart.

Kicking off the album is “I Saw The Mountains,” which brings echoing soundscapes and a transcendent orchestra. Each count pushes Cyrus’ words out of her mouth just a little deeper. “I swam the river and the river swam me / We carried each other and back out to the sea / Circling around the same stars yeah, I am wherever you are.” Cyrus’ serene voice has always been able to elevate her music, and with the winding guitar and deeply soul-felt drum smacks, this song is unstoppable.

Portraying how difficult it can be to simply be alive, “Way Of The World (feat. Ella Langley)” walks through all stages of life from the hospital to the dirt. Cyrus touches on the realization of “Your parents are people / and the child inside them is broken and still hurting too.” This production is lyrically dissonant in an interesting way. These lyrics can be looked at through the lens of appreciation for all of these things that we are, in a by-the-book way, destined to go through.

A recommendation to strap in before listening to “Long Ride Home” – This song builds just as heavily as the relationship sinks. Cyrus demonstrates such poetic imagery for this entire album, but this song is the perfect encapsulation of its theme. “I’d save us if I had the will,” as she is trying not to give up, but physically can’t.

“Man In The Field” is about growth, as Cyrus is watching a ghost of the past. The man she is singing about is troubled and can’t find his way to reality. This can be thought of as Cyrus’ mind in her past and how she saw herself, but the beauty is that we will never really know.

I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME is elegant and in some way warm. The warmth comes from the comfort of how Noah expresses the aches so majestically, and the growth in pain.
