If I walked into a venue and heard this, I’d move my way to the front of the stage before the end of this song, and I’d be at the merch table at the end of the performance. This is excellent.
I didn't know this was my favourite Tom Waits song until now.
Same!!!
One of the most beautiful of Tom Wait’s songs, sung so brilliantly! I want to come back in my second life with such a voice. ❤️
the tone on that guitar is unbelievable
first thing i thought. beautiful
Yeah, I thought there was a backup organ or something going on.
Sounds like some kind of drop tuning.
@@SeanMcGown looks like bass strings? Maybe a whole octave down
rubber bridge. I suspect it's also ladder braced. combo means no high overtones, and I bet she's playing through her awesome old gibson amp.
I’ve been playing guitar seriously for over 35 years. You are a most interesting and original player. I adore your feel..
Very cool
4:08.. the second "hold on".. the way you sing those tones.. so beautiful and so right!!
That's one of my favorite parts too. I really love the words of the last verse about how its so hard to dance that way when its cold and there's no music.
The best cover of Hold on I have ever Heard . Stunning!
This is now the definitive version of this song.
IMHO BETTER than Tom Waits!!❤
What a wonderful version. It captures the shimmering tone of the original, and the sense of longing, without being an imitation. That's really something. ✌️ 👍
The word "incredible" barely even scratches the surface of who you are. That ethereal voice, your incredible guitar playing, your skill at sheer composition. Just wow; from what plane do you come from? Simply extraordinary; in every facet of the word,
Every once in a while you hear a voice this good. Ms. Cunningham joins that small group of female vocalists who are worth their salt. Bravo, young lady. Whatever "it" is, you've got it.
Look up Larkin Poe.
And Molly Tuttle.
you re a pig?
They hung a sign up in our town
"If you live it up, you won't live it down"
So she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Oh, the moon was gold, her hair like wind
Said, "don't look back, just come on, Jim"
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
You gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone's looking for someone to blame
When you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said, "baby, I still love you"
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
Oh, but you got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on and take my hand
I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Well, God bless your crooked little heart
St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken China voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down
Then you burn your mansion to the ground
Oh, there's nothing left to keep you here
But when you're falling behind in this big blue world
Oh, you've got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Down by the Riverside motel
It's ten below and falling
By a ninety-nine cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Oh, your old hometown's so far away
But inside your head there's a record that's playing
A song called "Hold On", hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, baby
You gotta hold on, girl
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
Thanks for the lyrics!
Madison, you now own this song. When you get back to live performances, this is the one you save for the encore. Wonderful rendition.
What a rendition. The way she holds on to those notes… just a… little too… long: so perfectly expressing the theme: holding on in the present, and holding on to the memories. She is an enchanting musician.
Now I have three favorite versions of this song. Waits,Colvin,and now Cunningham. Actually truth be told this Is my favorite. I’m a Madison Cunningham fan for life.
Few covers breath life into old songs like this one does (like Jeff Buckley to Leonard Cohen). This one is brilliant in that same way. Beautiful arrangement on the dropped tuning guitar using interesting chord positions to keep the simple chord progression... perfect.
I believe that is a B guitar
Also its got 12 frets to the body - cool!
I thought the same thing-- Jeff Buckley and Hallelujah--interesting
or Jacob Collier's Hallelujah.
Have to agree. This is not hyperbole
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I love the sound of that guitar!
Yeah...great sound. What's the deal...has she tuned the whole thing down almost to baritone guitar range? Bari guitars are huge, aren't they? I've played a real bari...those open chords don't work this well...
And that voice is pure gold.
@@JentschChris rubber bridge!
I believe she tunes down two whole tones. Thay look like extremely heavy strings on this guitar, but it's shorter scale too so still playable.
Yea tuned down to baratone style tunings same as her electric guitars heavier gauge strings she spends time to get a tone she likes.
My favorite Waits song. You do an awesome job of making it your own Madison.
Why is every new cover so great? Can you do no wrong?
She cannot.
The absolute best cover I have heard. Heartfelt and beautifully sung
I'm addicted to this cover. The guitar tone is beautiful, aswell as the vocals.
Amazing combination of voice and guitar- its mesmerizingly beautiful! Got a song stuck in my head? YEP!!! its this version of a classic Waits song!!!
It's a great song, and she finds music here I haven't heard before. Terrific.
Madison’s covers are so convincing and compelling. If you didn’t know better, you would think she wrote them all herself.
The most beautiful Hold On cover so far.
Absolutely beautiful. I never thought I'd hear a version as good as Tom or Beth Greene but you certainly proved me wrong.
Best cover I've heard of that song. Truly touching.
Complete package. Super cool guitar work and evocative vocals. Love everything about this.
Wow Madison...really well done rendition of a great Tom Waits song. Thanks for blessing us with your talent.
My favorite singer of the moment sings a song from the songbook of my favorite songwriter of all time
I'm uninspired to go to a cover, but I keep doing it and sometimes get surprised.
Mostly, they don't feel the song enough. You do. This is on favourites.
Your timing is excellent!
Your voice, passion and the mixer's talent made my list, which is smallish.
Mahalo.
This is, beyond the shadow of any conceivable doubt, the greatest Tom Waits cover of all time. It's the only one I prefer to the original, that's for goddamn sure.
An absolutely beautiful version of one of TW's most beautiful songs . You've got a new fan ! x
Wow! What beautiful voice. Pulled me in at the first word she said. Blown away ! Thank you special girl.
Wow. Such a talent. She really has something special. I hear other singers in her voice, yet she sounds uniquely herself. That’s a very rare accomplishment these days. ❤
Beautiful. You've done the song amazing justice.
Such a sensible cover with your own twist and a guitar rhythm which reminds me a Blake Mills song. Actually I would love to hear you doing a duet with him your two voice would just blend so nicely !
Yeah... "Curable Disease" very similar R hand style
I've had this dream for a while, that Madison, Blake and Tyler would do a cover of Long Distance Love by Little Feat. Now if we could just float this idea by them somehow.
I'll never get over how effortlessly beautiful your voice is! that much talent in one person should be illegal
Wonderful. All of it. Great guitar work, great vocal, and really nice momentum. Nice work!
The song by Tom Waits that chills me still to this day. Thank you for sharing some magic with us.
Wednesday is becoming my favourite day of the week.
Stunning all around. Vulnerable. Emotionally direct. Wonderful arrangement!
Oh my…you are amazing.
Your playing.
Your voice.
They are like bells.
Thank you so much.
This is easily the best cover I've ever heard. I love it, and you.
Your music is awesome too...
Beautiful rendition. I love this melody.
Beautiful rendition of this great Tom Waits ballad. It brings me to tears when Tom sings it,.... Your version is almost uplifting, and your lovely voice is a pure delight to listen to. Kudos.
hairs going up on my arms. lovely!!
This is an absolutely beautiful interpretation and rendition of a Tom Waits classic - simply magnificent.
Have a nice day everybody ❤️
Congrats Madison Cunningham.
Fine work. Tackling Tom Waits is fun and ballsy. The throaty guitar is what impressed me the most. Live up people
Madison is unbelievably talented. And what a beautiful song.
wonderful choice wonderful voice

This cover gets better each time I listen to it.
Fantastic cover and interpretation, everything sounds crisp and clear. 10/10

Hold on...in all you go through... this is for all living beings around the world 🌎🫶🍀🎶❤
This is phenomenal. Thank you.
This artist is under appreciated. Madison Cunningham is brilliant!
I've said this so many times.... people who can "do mainstream" will make Tom a f@@@ing fortune. That was lovely, Madison.... excellent
Tom’s doing ok.
What a beautiful performance!!! Astonishing cover!
Amazing. Beautiful voice and version. Excellent. Just found your videos today, 2 Oct 2020. Great.
Wow...be proud of that one. Not sure who you are, but that was in a word...healing. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning!!!
Your voice fits so well....loved it...
Everyone wants to cover a Tom Waits song. He is only the greatest songwriter of the 20th century Very few succeed to capture it. This one is exceptional. Quite a feat to do it right. Im moved and impressed.
She most certainly did this great song justice! Very glad I found this and time to go check out her other videos.
perfection !!!
Really amazingly done. So rich and warm. Thanks.
WOW , absolutely love it , a classic, done beautifully.
Madison you are so gifted. I love your music. God bless you!
That song fits these times so well. Thanks for doing it so movingly.
Enchanting, girl. Such a gift and thank you for sharing it!🤍
Brilliant cover. Just wonderful
my lifetime Hero played by one of my top favourite artists. This is crazy! Thank you so much for WeeklyWednesdayCovers
Beautiful rendition; Touching!
MADI THIS IS LEGIT ONE THE BEST THINGS EVER AND I LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY TIMES IVE COME BACK HERE TO LISTEN TO IT I legit played it in a loop for hours a day during my exam week. Perfection.
And also: thank you.
This is gorgeous. Probably my favourite Tom Waits song, and I was completely blown away from the first note when the bass of that guitar cut through. It's the weirdest thuddiest guitar, and it's perfect for exactly this song. Everything about this is beautiful.
I can never sing this pretty, no matter what I do. I just hope someday, my rusted dump truck of a voice inspires someone this talented to cover my songs, too.
Love the tone ...great cover. Tom’s tunes grabs me somewhere very deep
Sensational!!! Thank you so much, Madison. You are truly magnificent. I’m ready for another album.
Sweet....Madison.
Excellent. Beautiful. Haunting. Genius guitar. Love it.
Excellent!👏 I haven’t been wowed in years. Thank you.
Special talent here.
Great rendition of a fabulous song - good job!
What a gift you have Madison!
Your voice gives me shivers down my spine! Great performance of a beautiful song.
Anybody that can do Waits like this sure is something else ! 💚
what a beautiful voice!!
Amazing Waits cover. I really love this.
Wow this is an excellent cover . Such a wonderful voice and guitar sound.
I just love your voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the guitar tone. Beautiful version.
Wow. Wow. Thank you for making new and even more lovely a song I have loved for 20 years.
Aow my heart melted a bit more oh lordy, healing qualities, so beautiful
Some you tube comments are worth pursuing ...so glad I found this Lady 🦋🧡🦋💜🌟
OK so I don't click on many of your videos because every time afterwards I'm left in shock & need a minute to absorb what I just heard. Wow. you have such an amazing voice, subtle but strong guitar work & tasteful song choices. You have been gifted a truly phenomenal talent from above.
So great. Love it.
I think you and Scott are the Best! Thank you for sharing your talent...
Madison,
You are phenomenal. Not only do you song beautifully, but you literally cover all of my favorite artists. Tom Waits, Radiohead, John Lennon. Thank you.
