11 years on, this remains my favorite Riptide cover. This spontaneity and simplicity are so beautiful. Now things are much more complicated... and less free.

Thank you all for your lovely comments, honestly means so, so much to me xx

Everyone's saying they don't like it because she's changing the words to fit her. I'm sorry but this is a COVER not a COPY. Music defines freedom and she has a right to do what she likes. I have huge respect for this girl because she's an amazing singer and doesn't need you guys being picky about little things you don't like, she's the one singing not you. Thanks ❤️

How do people play standing up, mine just slips out under my arms every time

[helenasoares]

Can i use this song as my alarm clock song? I feel like this would be the perfect song t to wake up to

[meepmeep]

"Closest thing to Vance Joy"... nicely done.

[KirigiriOnigiri]

Oh my god. At first I saw it and I was like ugh, another amateur cover but I gave it a chance anyway and HOLY SHIT GIRL. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.

We need to get you famous!

[zqzdtho]

I've listened to this cover like a billion times already x3

[loganknutson]

Her bright blue eyes at the end are what get me! Every time! Such talent here

[deadbvnnyy]

Anyone else just loves the way she sings "unstuck"? Cuz damn, that's amazing.

[laezed]

Tell me why she isn't (very) famous, and Nicki Minaj is? thank you.

omg you are amazing i am so jealous, i have practising this song for about a week now, simply because your song is so beautiful, go on a talent show or something! don't just waste your voice on youtube, there's a 3 in 2000 chance you will get any chance of making a record, however on talent shows, if you win (which im sure you will) you will be able to show everyone your amazing voice :) ily

[abbyerickson]

wow you have an incredible voice! not to mention you are so so beautiful and talented on the ukulele. your voice is amazing! :) keep at it girl!! <3

[adamtoutou]

This never gets old! Forgot how amazing your voice is! best Vance Joy cover!

[JackieNg]

i cant even comprehend how much i love this.  because fr i swear i hate myself that this is the first time ive heard one of your covers

[QDCrafts]

OH MY 0.0 Your ukulele playing is so awesome! And I really love your voice :D This is probably one of the best covers I've ever heard. I usually don't like listening to covers, but this really makes me smile :)

[gracepattie]

This is my fave cover of this song yet! You are beautiful! :) x

[TempoXXUdy]

For any of those trying to learn this song the right way, the Chords are Dm, C, and F
This is the way she and Vance play the song.
If you use the other chords ( Am G and C ) it sounds awful and nowhere close to the actual recording. Also to keep in mind that Vance used a Baritone to record his song so the bigger the Uke the deeper the sound thus sounding like Vance. Enjoy & Thumbs up so everyone can see !

[sarahemilly]

love your cover! the way your dancing to it. makes it even better and shows you are really enjoying what your doing! pretty too :)

[mamacitamiriaam]

Your voice is angelic. I enjoyed your cover 100x more than the original song. I wish this was on itunes lol!
