Noah Cyrus, the Grammy-nominated artist, recently released her sophomore album titled “I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me.” The album, released on July 11, holds a special significance for Noah as she dedicated it to her late grandfather, lovingly known as “Pappy.” In a heartfelt Instagram post on what would have been his birthday, Noah expressed her emotions and thoughts towards her beloved grandfather.
In the emotional post, Noah reminisced about her grandfather, Ron Cyrus, who passed away from lung cancer in 2006. The title of her album, “I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me,” was inspired by a hymn written by her great-grandfather Eldon Lindsey Cyrus and performed by Ron Cyrus. She shared cherished memories of her lineage where music truly runs through their veins, connecting them to their ancestors and roots.
Accompanied by photos of herself with Ron throughout her childhood, Noah’s Instagram caption captured her gratitude for the musical legacy passed down through generations. She expressed her belief that her grandfather was celebrating in heaven alongside other departed loved ones as her album was released on his birthday, a poignant moment she described as “divine timing.”
In a statement about the album, Noah reflected on the poignant lyrics of the song “Apple Tree,” where Ron sings about cherished memories of their family. She shared how the song’s words evoke powerful imagery of her childhood, with her mother tucking her in and family moments by the fire. The album is a tribute not just to her grandfather but also a celebration of family bonds that transcend time and space.
“I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me” features collaborations with renowned artists like Fleet Foxes, Ella Langley, Blake Shelton, and Bill Callahan. Noah’s dedication to honouring her grandfather’s memory through music is evident in the heartfelt compositions and emotive performances within the album.
To mark the album release, Noah will be performing a show at The Ford in Los Angeles on July 11, with scheduled tour dates extending through October. The album not only showcases Noah’s musical talents but also serves as a touching tribute to her family’s musical heritage and the enduring bonds of love and memory.
With her poignant tribute to her late grandfather, Noah Cyrus has created a musical masterpiece that resonates with heartfelt emotion and personal history. Through her soulful lyrics and evocative melodies, she invites listeners on a poignant journey that celebrates the power of music to connect and heal across generations and beyond boundaries of time.
