    Wholly unique with echoes of Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. Stunning song and performance.

    This is a recording from the show I saw live on Saturday night. I tuned the piano for the show and as I was walking offstage, I passed by this artist, Madison Cunningham. She was rehearsing just off stage. I was WOWED by her voice. I am so happy I heard her voice from two feet away, live without a microphone. Absolutely beautiful. As I passed by I said something outloud under my breath like "that's incredible" because her voice struck me so.

    I have been in total awe of her writing for a few months now. She is incredible

    This girl defines “total package.” Love this song. Reminds me in places of Joni, and like Joni, Madison is helping reshape the singer/songwriter.

    Anyway absolutely fantastic, Madison has very quickly become one of my most favourite new artists I absolutely adore everything, the voice, the guitar work, the song writing, the confidence outstanding

    any musicians curious as to what she’s doing, read below the basics of what I’ve tried to figure out!
    The song starts in Bb major, following simple chords, I think using the I IV V and VI. It then changes keys to Ab major and eventually back to Bb major. The crazy part that made me an instant fan is when she changes from Bb major to F Mixolydian!!! The exact same notes, just a different note that sounds like “home”. Blows my mind. This part happens right before she rips the solo. The chords are F major, C minor, Eb major, repeat. Those chords are all in Bb but they sound like F mixolydian because it starts on F!

    So refreshing to hear a female singer from today who isn’t copying that airy- throaty hipster cafe Sarah McLachlan thing that nearly everyone from the last 5 years has been repeating ad nauseam

    "Song In My Head," is now stuck in my head. Very well-written, catchy tune, and a great performance.

    • @hadeskay6091
      @hadeskay6091 Před 4 lety

      I'm not kidding when I say this. I was hoping she and John mayer played. She's so skilled and has a great voice. And doesn't stick to the four chords.

    @gibbshorton4613 Před 3 lety +10

    I love this so way beyond. So full of energy and confidence. A voice so delicate but honestly powerful. I am left in a world beyond hovering above space and time. Wow, what a great performance.

  • @jonschneider6394

    Love this version - not a wasted note and clearly the mandolin player is loving the groove (and providing some nice vocal support)

  • @CazualTim
    @CazualTim Před 4 lety +6

    I can’t believe y’all are going away. In any country that respects art the way it should, putting together this performance alone earns you three years of NEA funding. It’s truly golden and if there’s any way I can pay you to download it (don’t worry, I already own the album) I will.

    There's a song in my head
    Oh, a line that never stops playing
    I'm not sure how it ends
    I can't remember when I heard what you were saying
    I'll make the best out of the worst
    I'll make up half the words and wear a t-shirt of a band I've never heard
    Because it hurts to be on the outside looking in
    Well, I do my best to listen
    But I'm uncomfortable with too much silence
    From the passenger seat you said "What does that mean?"
    I said "I'm learning to live with the violence, violence"
    But I'm not the kind that
    Wants to be lost
    I don't want to be forgotten
    I don't want to pretend
    That it's alright
    I want to see these walls
    Crumble and dissolve around
    I got my golden diploma wearing a square crown
    The Class of '14 wore their capes like a reverend's gown
    All that education won't help us now
    Attending funerals and watching friends break their vows
    There's not much that I can protect
    So I keep my good humor alive
    Nothing disturbs your intellect
    Like the feeling of something you can't deny
    Justified
    I don't want to be lost
    I don't want to be forgotten
    I don't want to pretend
    That it's alright
    I want to see these walls
    Crumble and dissolve around me
    Saturday morning, 11 a.m.
    Heard mom and dad talking money again
    Fit a seven-person family in a five-seater van
    I guess all you can do is the best that you can
    Dad pushed it all down like the Gibson in his hand
    To finish that song that never had a name
    I can still hear that song
    In my head (In my head)
    Information, education, giving and love
    Questions, guidance, that's sugar in my blood
    Holding together what's meant to fall apart
    Justify the reason for the way things are
    I don't want to be lost
    I don't want to be forgotten
    I've got reason to believe
    That I just might
    Watch this city's walls
    Crumble and dissolve around me
    I'm not afraid, afraid to lose
    It's a voice that I can't refuse
    Maybe I don't have the right to choose what calls my name

    Sooo Good! She has great groove and a beautiful effortless voice. Anything she does will sound great solo. She doesn't need anyone. But with a host of other great talent around her...just kicks it to the next level. I am a fan!

    I'm sitting in my car this morning and I start to play with the radio. This song, this very broadcast (a rebroadcast, in fact!), is playing on my favorite NPR station, KRCC, and I'm lucky enough to get to listen to it, uninterrupted. I love it.
