    I was lucky to be in the first row of the balcony that night in Lincoln Nebraska. What a pleasant introduction to a talented young woman.

    It's incredible that this band can just pick up these complex melodies and make it sound so clean and perfect.

      Chris Thile, who hosts the show is an amazing musician who collaborates with musicians over all genres. As a result his house band is a revolving door of the best young musicians in the business.

      They have charts, it's what literate musicians do. Plus it's not like there was no rehearsal😂

    As a Brazilian, I cannot stop thinking about how much of the feeling and musical aspects of Frevo and other Brazilian regional styles this song's groove and melody have. It sounds very tropical, specially the drums/bass/guitar groove they are playing. I think this song is a true masterpiece.

      One is Madison's favorite musical artists is Juana Molina who is Argentinian, so there might be some osmosis that occurred.

    Cool to also see a more playful element to her songwriting and performance.
    I saw her open for Punch Brothers, and I’m really grateful Thile has been using his platforms to shine a light on Madison’s staggering talents.
    She’s gonna make a ton of fans in the years to come.

    Here's the lyrics I don't know how accurate these are, I will check at some point.
    Wonderful song Madison, you've become a natural resource.
    "Looking Alive" - Madison Cunningham
    Taking a walk down Eagle Rock, wandering
    Where the men wear their jeans tight as a bull dog's skin
    Listening to the way people talk and the way people worry
    Turn themselves blonde when they get that sick feeling they're aging
    I've had a face he has a hard time remembering
    And every time that we've met he'll
    Ask, "Sorry what's your name again?"
    Well the way people talk and the way people hurry
    To reach for a card when they think that you might be-
    Wasting their time
    Wide eyed looking for something
    There's bound to be something
    To let you down
    Wide eyed are you sleep deprived
    Well if you want to be something
    You're looking alive
    Taking a drive down the five, I'm a different man
    The drivers have a way of taking the last bit of goodness I had
    There's always something to wake you when you're caught in a dream
    Flashing lights in your rearview,
    The hollowing scream of your own voice
    Was that my voice?
    Might I suggest something?
    There's bound to be something
    To let you down
    Wide eyed are you sleep deprived
    If you want to be something then-
    Hey! Look alive
    Look alive
    Look alive
    Look alive
    Look alive
    Look alive
    Well I left for the city with the strength and the will to compete
    How quickly you forget that just anyone can fill your seat
    Doesn't it feel good to laugh at yourself?
    Turn your back on the business and leave it to sell its own worry
    I've been looking alive
    I've been looking alive

    Why she isn't more highly regarded & broadly recognized is what's wrong with popular music. At risk of an elitist brand, she's far too good to be "popular" (ala Steely Dan, initially).

    Turned on a local station and this was playing-- absolutely loved it and couldn't guess even what genre, age, region....grabbed my phone to have Siri id it for me. What a happy discovery.
