Madison Cunningham - All I've Ever Known. 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.

LYRICS In a fifteen passenger van to Ohio The Chrysler invention hums and blows Warm air through the vents sends it straight to the bone Outside it’s nine bellow It’s a pain I’ve never known I lost my heart to the great golden state And the lanterns in little Tokyo If the fumes don't kill you first, then the dreaming surely will You tell me on the phone It’s a pain you’ve never known I look out the window And let my mind wander From order to the open sky And sometimes I swear I’ll just never return But it’s all I’ve ever known It’s all I’ve ever known Will you take me as I am? 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
