It’s not if, darling it’s when Was there something left unsaid? Were your eyes green, were they blue? What was it that I forgot to ask you? Busy hands, I’ll set ‘em down To say I love you right out loud I’ll bet you’re making heaven laugh But it feels like tears and memories are all we have Once I knew it I was always a know it all Too busy too stressed out To take your call Thought I would always find you there Sitting in your TV chair While time is in a bar having a laugh somewhere The nurse said you were waiting for me To let go, to let it be It’s not if, darling it’s when There’s always something left unsaid Were your eyes green, were they blue? What was it that I forgot to ask you? Busy hands, I’ll set ‘em down To say I love you here and now Did God need a new lead in his band? When this world and its people Are all we have Once your girl I’m always your girl Music video by Madison Cunningham performing Life According To Raechel (Live On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon).

Waking up to a heavy cup Ambition drinking me Helpless I watch another death Play out on TV I render it down to size and sound ‘Til it comes as no surprise To sleep all through the night and still wish To open my eyes Life and all her fragility The midwife of this urgency A moment I may never get again A moment I may never get again A moment I may never get again Follow Madi everywhere: https://linktr.ee/madisoncunningham For more information, visit https://www.madisoncunningham.com/ Music video by Madison Cunningham performing Inventing The Wheel (Visualizer).

An exclusive live performance for Vevo. You probably knew that Madison Cunningham was a bit of a philosopher the first time "Song In My Head" entered your world. The 2019 gem, from her 'Who Are You Now' debut, references "a line that never stops playing," making the best out of the worst, and being uncomfortable with "too much silence." The best songwriters do weigh in on the conundrums we all face, and more and more, the 26-year-old is joining those ranks. 'Who Are You Now' was nominated for a Best Americana Album award at the 2020 GRAMMYs, and last year's 'Revealer' nailed it in the Best Folk Album category at this year's show.  The SoCal native grew up in a religious household, and played guitar in her dad's church, ultimately recording a spiritual album as a teen. As her musical interests grew, her performance talent followed suit. Soon enough the contact numbers of wise artists such as Chris Thiele and Andrew Bird were in her phone, and this ardent Jeff Buckley fan was on her way. That debut made a splash (don't miss the deep cut, "Common Language"), and 'Revealer' cemented it. Increasingly confident at the mic, last summer's Tiny Desk Concert further revealed her charisma. You'll find the same zest in her rhythmically sophisticated performances of "All I've Ever Known" and "In From Japan." When you're done watching, find out where Cunningham is playing near you and grab some tickets. She's too good to miss.   Watch music videos by Madison Cunningham: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi4u2bJdg8RpT7QZYX_K0BA Watch Madison Cunningham perform “In From Japan” live on CBS Saturday Morning.

No one's holding you back now No one's holding you back now Carnival skies, ballet on ice Bombs exploding in reverse The world's greatest song Is one no mortal's ever heard Wired for sound, infected with doubt Petals falling at your feet It's hard to pick out The imitation from the real thing Out from the West The city sparkles like a sequined dress You're sitting right across from a lifeless Animation of yourself The dog days are getting smaller as you pull away A phone line from the future Calls to say, ""You're gonna mess it up again My friend"" No one's holding you back now No one's holding you back now The planet in orbit wanes Some things are too hard to say Out loud No one's holding you back now No one's holding you back now No one's holding you back now, no one No one's holding you back now Executive Producer: Micah Bickham Director: Seth Halter Creative Director: Chris Pereira Production Designer: Tyler Jensen Producer: Lola Gatti Director of Photography: Tristan Gramling Project Manager: Dominic Siri Editor: Kevin Rose Music & Talent: Cynthia Todd + Shannon Pires #MadisonCunningham #InFromJapan #Vevo Music video by Madison Cunningham performing In From Japan (Live Performance).

Will power come to those who need it? When there’s no power left to spend Your means and end, all depends On who it is you’re asking for permission I walk along invisible rows Filled with critics that agree and oppose I just do exactly as I am told ‘Til I can’t make sense of anything at all Tongue and sword This internal war I chalk up the instruction ‘Til I can’t take your instruction anymore Heavy load What do I bear it for?

In perfect obedience to all these demands I’m a child to the wonder, but a victim of the change When I see you again, will I know what to say? I’m not immune to a piece of bad news I just do what I must to move on Give me truth but put me under so I don't feel a thing It’s the only way I know It’s the only way I know I hear nothing, no rescue coming Just church bells drawing out the dogs I’m afraid that you were made by invention and odds are I may never know I may never know Will you take me as I came? In this resistance to the sound of my name I’m a daughter to the mystery but a servant to strain When I see you again, will I know what to say? Will I know what to say? Will I know what to say? You’re all I’ve ever known You’re all I’ve ever known You’re the only thing that I know And i’m afraid of what I don’t, don’t know You’re all I’ve ever known You’re all I’ve ever known #MadisonCunningham #AllIveEverKnown #Vevo Music video by Madison Cunningham performing All I've Ever Known (Live) | Vevo Studio Performance.

Description

Madison Cunningham is a 28-year-old GRAMMY award-winning artist and songwriter known for her “wonderfully tangled imagery and cutting self-awareness” (NPR). As a guitarist, Madison has pushed the boundaries of a conventional singer-songwriter as her “guitar work is both classic and wildly emotive, and her soaring vocals are pristine and inspired” (Consequence).

Cunningham’s latest effort, Revealer, won the GRAMMY for ‘Best Folk Album.’ Written and recorded over all states of the pandemic, Madison says, “To me, ‘revealer’ is the binding theme of the album. The hand that slowly chips away at the mirror in which you see yourself and the world and replaces it with the reflection that is most true.” The album is “full of intricate musicianship, alongside forthright observations” (All Music), intimations and hard truths—a self-portrait of a young artist who is full of doubt and uncertainty yet bursting with exciting ideas about music and life.
