Rainbow Connection - Maddie Poppe (Live Cover)

Forrest Moore, Ty Bellfy and Jared Cunningham are responsible for EVERYTHING you see here! We hung out in an old building this past winter for about five hours in order to get all the shots. It was a bitterly cold day, but this building and the antiques in it were too cool not to use for the shot. (If you look closely, you can see the air when I breathe!)

All vocals and guitar were recorded live that day.

Special thanks to Amy Berger and Mike Kramer for letting us use the building!

Filmed at: Pete & Shorty's in Clarksville, IA

Maddie is one of the most beautiful people God ever created. You can see her soul through her music and it's too wonderous to take in all at once. I don't know if it's a sparkle or if she just has stars in her eyes but it's amazing

[timsullivan]

I'm 57 and this version brings tears to my eyes everytime she does it. That's special!

Maddie- Two summers ago, I was sitting in my living room in Waverly (lived close to the river) and heard someone with a phenomenal voice singing in the concert in the park. My boyfriend and I grabbed our lawn chairs and rushed to the amphitheater to listen to you perform. I recognized not your name but your talent, and I have been a fan ever since. Best of luck on Idol. You have my vote!

She sings to the heart and soul. That is rare.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told
And some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Some day we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That called the young sailors?
The voice might be one in the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
La da da di da da dum da duh da da dum di da ohhh
