One of the rare and beautiful singers that sounds the same with their track, and live.

Screw auto tune. We need genuine people like him.

[bronsonstephens]

Somehow this song has never gotten old to me and I've listened to it a countless number of times.

[leslieperez]

Am I the only one who finds him freaking adorable and attractive ? 💖✨

[erindevlin]

Vance Joy, ladies and gentlemen, descended from the heavens

[madisonjobe]

Wow...one of the few people whose voice sounds almost identical live as when recorded and edited.

LYRICS:

I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream

Oh, oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh, oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
And I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

I kept on checking my volume at the beginning. Anyone else? I thought I was muted.

[raimahossain]

Trust me when I say this, nobody sings Riptide by Vance Joy better than Vance Joy. ^_^

[daniellalivyatan]

I had no idea men like this exist. There is hope now.

[ALDAVINUR]

better than the Studio version^^ that's pretty rare

[hawoo]

I cried when I first heard this song 😅

[Aktitud]

[QueenOfAmber]

[joebamber]

The drummers shades are pretty cool. Great song. So addictive.

[xxorubyoxx]

[jodiehovenden]

Go Jets!!!

[brianhayes]

9 years later and its still a masterpiece.😊😊

[ab]

Can’t help but agree with the happy commentary. It’s rad to hear a live performance (performed with ease) echo the perfect track.

[scottambrose]

Saw him live - he is incredible. Genuine guy and a great performer/singer. Love his music and hope he comes back to Portland soon.

[ciaranoneill]

AWESOME!!! Love this song even more now
