Two More Lonely People was written by Miley, Kevin Kadish, Brandon Jane, Angie Aparo and Antonina Armato and produced by Rock Mafia for Miley's third album Can't Be Tamed. Kevin Kadish is a songwriter and producer, best known for his work with Meghan Trainor on the songs All About That Bass, Lips Are Movin' and Dear Future Husband. Angie Aparo is a singer-songwriter who was in a group called Angie's Hope in the 90s before he went solo. He released several albums in the 90s and 00s, with the last one being released in 2006. And Brandon Jane's only other songwriting credit is on Give Me Tonight by Taylor Hicks. So I feel like this is a really random group of people to work on a song together, but it ended up working out all right because the song is amazing. Like, seriously amazing. The song starts with this chugging instrumental and a drum beat, and Miley begins singing 3 seconds in. After the first line, an acoustic guitar strums away quickly twice. This repeats after the second line, and in the second part of the verse, more drums come in, along with a guitar, as it builds to the chorus, which is pure musically anthemic euphoria that feels almost 80s-esque, but somehow more organic and less saturated like some other 80s-esque songs. It goes back to it's basic arrangement for the second verse, and basically repeats what it did for the first time around, but this time in the second half of the verse, there's violin flourishes added, that add a gorgeous new element of the production, and these flourishes are continued in the chorus. The bridge's man musical focus is the hard-hitting drum beat, as well as the acoustic guitar and violins, with a couple less prominent elements. When the lead in to the final chorus starts, there's a guitar that has the same chugging feel as the instrumental in the verses, and soon adds some keys to the second part of it, before launching into the last chorus in an emotionally uplifting manner. Despite the general euphoric and joyful feel of the production, the lyrics are pretty sad, as they handle the possible break-up between Miley and probably Liam, and what would happen if they gave up - they'd both be just two more lonely people in the world. Miley seems to be trying to convince the guy - who I'm just going to refer to as Liam from now on - that they shouldn't break up, saying she's sure they could work it out, and in the bridge, pointing out what they have is special, and it's been rough lately but love isn't predictable. Despite this, she fears it's too late, saying she doesn't believe he loves her, her heart is aching, that they don't have to be friends or enemies to each other, and that ultimately they gave up the fight for each other. This is all told through big, catchy melodies throughout, that never leave your head, with verses that feel conversational and private, and a chorus that she shouts to the rooftops, because her heart is broken, and you just wanna shout with her. The melody on "Well you know my heart is aching, you don't have to break it. If love don't change your mind" is particularly brilliant and may well be the catchiest part of the song, and I'm not even sure why. It just is. I also have to take a moment to praise the "Well maybe lately baby it's been a little rough" line because it is just perfect, wonderful and genius. It really is. This has always been a stand-out to me on the album since the first listen, and quickly became my favorite. I also maintain this song was done dirty. As much as I love the album, the entire era was mishandled. I get why Miley wanted to lead with the title-track, and I think Who Owns My Heart was a brilliant single choice, but I really think this would have been a better lead single at least for commercial success. It's catchy, big, something that gets stuck in your head without being over repetitive. As a lead, it would've fit right alongside her previous ones, while expanding on them - the organic sound of 7 Things, the dance-ability of See You Again, the Big Pop Song feel of Party In The U.S.A., and the relatable storytelling of all three, while showing Miley was ready to be a little more mature in her song topics, by showing she understands she should let go of this relationship. Again, I get why Miley went with Can't Be Tamed, and it still did pretty well, but I think this could've been huge on a similar scale to Party and The Climb. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, and it never got any kind of single release - you know, because Hollywood Records has a history of almost never doing more then two singles per album - and it's left to be a fan favorite album track. I could barely be happier about it's performance here, making the top 15 of the rate, almost top 10, and being in the top 5 of Can't Be Tamed itself. I'm really really happy most of y'all recognized talent when you heard this song, and scored it accordingly. The song was included in the set-list for the Gypsy Heart Tour in support of the album, as well as her set at the House of Blues that year. The critics who had something to say about the song praised it, with AllMusic saying "she sounds more natural and more grown-up on the songs that straddle rock and country, including...the anthemic “Two More Lonely People,” which makes the most of her voice and appeal", Entertainment Weekly says it's a "driving, Roxette-esque" song, PopMatters calls it "one moment of carefree dance-pop joy" on the album that "sounds like it came right out of her Hannah Montana days". They continue, saying "With a simple melody, a breezy chorus, and Cyrus actually sounding like she's having fun while singing it, it's the hands-down highlight from" the album, after which, they continue to insult it and her. Thankfully, our commentators have more tact then that.

We'll start with @phily693 (5) who says something I think is supposed to be an insult: This is very Hannah. ...So? What's your point? That it isn't good because of that? Cause if so, you're very wrong. From now on we have people mostly displaying taste, though @Maki (8) is wrong: Nothing too spectacular, although I surely wouldn't skip it. Goes nicely with the rest of the album. I think the verses are better than the chorus, but the entire song is solid. The verses are a great set-up for the chorus and the chorus is amazing. Comprende? @M24 (8.5) has weird ears: It's good. Wish it had less autotune (common complaint of mine for this album), but it's still a bop. There...isn't any on this song? She sounds clear throughout the whole thing. And it's more then a bop. It's an anthem, for all us lonely people. Like me. But not you, you lucky human being. Anyway, @iheartpoptarts (9) states facts: Big song with big melodies. Correct-amundo, my wonderful bubblegum pop lover! Very true. @DJHazey (9) manages to make a reference, quote himself, and brings up how long it's been since this opened in less then a paragraph: I love my comment last time saying the "the production captures my attention immediately and makes me feel like I'm trotting along towards the chorus like a Highway Unicorn". Of course I was referring to one of my favorite Gaga songs, so it seems fit to harken back to that line since her rate just opened. Taste in that song, taste in this score, and thanks for reminding me how long this has taken xx. @savilizabeths (10) finally displays taste when it comes to this album: My discovery from this album. It’s just such a solid pop song. It’s very well written, well produced and well performed. The guitar flourishes in the verses are pretty great. As well as the really cool string flourishes. It’s a bop. I stan. Yay more facts! And again, it's an anthem, though of course, you have a girlfriend, so...nevermind. Last but not least we have @pop3blow2 (10) who I'm going to time-travel back to 2010 with to start a petition: Probably my favorite song on this album. Mind boggling that this wasn’t a single. Also Rock Mafia’s best production here. I could do without the auto-tune on Miley’s voice is spots, but other than that this is pretty flawless. Okay, what auto-tune? I seriously don't hear it, and I listened to the song 3 times in a row with my good headphones just to try and point it out so I don't feel like I'm crazy.

Who wants to lonely bop with me?:

Super happy Two More Lonely People made it this far!

Okay, what auto-tune? I seriously don't hear it, and I listened to the song 3 times in a row with my good headphones just to try and point it out so I don't feel like I'm crazy.

I'm like 99% sure they use it on the chorus vocals... or at least some equivalent effect that hurts the vocal a bit for me. To be fair, it's probably 'just for effect' (like so much autotune is overused for).

I really don't hear anything on it. Maybe that's just me? Oh well, as long as I'm not bothered, that's what matters. And yea, if it is there, it probably was just for effect.

Where the heck is @savilizabeths?
 
I really, truly, honestly never thought this wouldn't be in the top 10.































































































Therefore, I'm a lot surprised and a little upset.

If We Were A Movie was written by Jeannie Lurie and Holly Mathis, and produced by Rock Mafia for the debut season and soundtrack of Hannah Montana. I'm sure you recognize Jeannie's name from other songs like Rock Star (#38), I Wanna Know You (#54) and I'm Still Good (#43). Holly Mathis has only two other credits to her name, including I Have Arrived by Emma Roberts from the Unfabulous & More compilation. The song's debut appearance was in the season one episode "Good Golly, Miss Dolly", which I wrote about in my Who Said write-up here. The song has very typical pop-rock production for the time, with melodic, catchy, strumming guitars, and boppable drums as the main back drop of it all. The melodies are also extremely catchy and typical pop-rock, making it something that's extremely easy to sing or at least hum along with by the end of the first or second listen, and it ends up getting stuck in your head for days. But the main focus here is the lyrics, which tell a tale of unrequited love, but with a twist, because Miley/Hannah is comparing her situation to a movie, and how if she and this boy were in one, the outcome would be different. Unrequited love is a normal subject for pop songs, and music in general, but I've literally never heard another song take this approach, and that unique quirky-ness of it all makes it really stand out among not just Hannah's discography, but my favorite music in general. And as I've gotten older, I've ended up loving this song more, due to how much I've ended up relating to it. And yes, I'm about to get mad personal with y'all. My first real instance of connecting to the song came in my freshman year of high school, when I was 14. I developed a huge crush on my best friend. She was really cute, and had always been nice to me, and she ended up being someone I was really close with. When I came clean about my crush at the end of the school day, I didn't stick around for a reaction and waited until the next day. She promptly ignored me at lunch, and when I realized what she was doing, I told her I had lied and said I was actually crushing on someone else, citing embarrassment as my reason. I'm not entirely sure she believed me, but she did stop ignoring me, and I quickly got over it when I realized I had no chance. Still, this became my angsty anthem in the couple months that I harbored the crush. Later that same year, an old friend of mine - one of the people I could've called a friend when I was a kid - who had moved away came back to school, and made me realize all the puppy crush feelings I had on him when I was younger, confusing me more as a teen aware of my sexuality. I never told him anything - he was clearly straight - but I did write him a letter, one I ended up not giving him. A couple crushes, a first boyfriend, and a first hook-up turned sort of relationship later, we arrive at who the song is most recently about: a classmate of mine in College Chorus, who I became pretty close to, and would flirt endlessly with, mostly in a joking manner. He's straight, so I'm left to my default mode of pining and trying not to want to be with him because he's exactly my type - only straight. As far as I know, he technically graduated this past semester, and I won't see him much or at all when/if I return next year, though we are friends on social media. Hopefully, this will help me get completely over him. Okay, now that that's over, I can talk about the actual facets of the song that I love. Like I said, the song is typical mid-00s pop-rock production, which means it's exactly my favorite genre of music. Everything about the production is perfect, but I especially love the guitar work throughout. The melodies are wonderfully catchy and the chorus has that "put your arms in the air and wave them while you scream-sing along" feel to it and I love that. The way the bridge builds in a crescendo make sit feel intense, epic and cinematic, and when most of the production drops out and she's just singing the chorus before it all comes back in - a moment. I especially love the part the vocals overlap at "I see it could be amazing (it could be amaaaaziiiing! If we we were a moooviiiie.) If we were a movie, you'd..." etc. And the lyrics - they're so clever and well-written. I mean, this manages a story that's sad, romantic, hopeful, and a little desperate without ever crossing into cheesy territory. And I love how they play on classic teen movie tropes - the main characters are a boy and a girl, who are close friends, and through a series of shenanigans and romantic mishaps, realize they belonged with each other the entire time. But this is real life, and it never works out the way we want, and we don't always get the Hollywood movie ending we'd like. There's so many different ways a song could take this - obviously the romantic subject is the most obvious one, and it works really wonderfully here - but in many different situations, people watch movies and wonder why they're life can't turn out like that. In movies, there's no gray area: the good people are heroes, the bad people are villains, and the heroes always win and save the day, and all the good people survive. But life rarely works out the same way, and there's a lot of hard choices to make as it goes on. That's what escapism in film is all about, and why this song expresses those emotions of wanting a life like the movies perfectly. I never get sick of singing this while lightly bopping and jamming to the production. I could have it on repeat all day long and not get tired of it. To be honest, it very nearly was my Hannah 11. I went with Let's Do This, because I figured this song would get lots of love, and make it really far, and I even assumed it'd be in the top 10. So I wanted to support a song that I loved that snuck up on me, compared to the instant love I've had for this since I was 6, and one I knew wouldn't do that well. And I don't totally regret that decision. Because I was right - Let's Do This was extremely underrated, and obviously #11 is a great spot to land in a rate. But I'm Boo Boo the Fool, because if I had gone ahead and made this my 11, it would be in the top 10 like it should be. So i regret it a little tiny bit. Hell, if it had gotten just one point higher from anyone, it'd be in the top 10. But it's too late now. And we're gonna have to live with this mistake. But it's fun, the song is used to be doing wrong. I will forever resent Miley for not including this in her set-list for The Best Of Both Worlds Tour. Why the fuck was Pumpin' Up The Party performed but not this?? Who on Earth would make that decision? I'm still disgusted, to this day. At least the song got some sort of live performance/music video. Though it was never included in the show, I do remember it playing during commercials and such on the channel. When it comes to critics, only AllMusic had something to say, but thankfully, it was praise, citing the song's "sharper-than-average songwriting, especially on [its] clever, catchy chorus." Taste AllMusic. Taste.

Of course, our voters have taste as well. @DJHazey (8) is here for the chorus: Okay this is better than the last two required songs because this chorus is extremely catchy. First discovery. I too agree that this is better then Who Said and The Best Of Both Worlds, and am upset it didn't beat the latter. @pop3blow2 (8.7) gets his parts mixed up but I knew what he meant: Always liked that little part in the middle where most of instruments drop out. That's literally near the end of the song bud dddd. But yes, it's such a great moment. @M24 (8.8) noticed something that I did not: First Hannah's song about love, and it's unrequited love. Doesn't disappoint, probably one of my favs in this first album. You're right of course, it is her first love song. Now I love it even more, cause it's a unique subject for the soundtrack. @phily693 (9) like me, is a sucker: Typical mid 00s pop rock tropes (the fade ins and outs especially) and I’m sucker for it all. Same ddd, I just can't get enough. Also like me, @TwistedInnocence (9) can relate: I was reminded of how much this song meant to me when I was 13 and I related to it so much - it’s a cheesy Disney bop when listening back but I can’t not rate it this high! It's so well-written that it isn't cheesy though. @iheartpoptarts (10) has a hopeful heart: This is the cutest thing ever. I hope they did fall in love in the end. Whoever they are. Well, I think the song is most associated with Jake on the show, and well...they did end up together! But....let's just say it didn't last. Although it could also refer to Corbin Bleu's Johnny, and he won a date with Hannah, and there's a chance he dated Miley, but it isn't confirmed. Finally, @savilizabeths (10), like me, nearly 11'd this: One of my Hannah eleven contenders. This one is still perfect. The lyrics are super cute and definitely iconic if you were invested in this era of Disney Channel like I was. That damn chorus! Sometimes I find myself singing this with my friends and everyone knows all the words and just adores this one. AND THE BRIDGE! What a song! Ten outta ten! Just like that time when me, my mom and my sister got our lives to it on the way to Alabama, way back in January dddd. Also, yes you're 110% correct.
