Vance Joy Cover | BBC Live Lounge (2014) \u201cRiptide\u201d is a song written by Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy. Taylor performed it during her performance at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. It was released on October 9, 2014. Table of Contents Background and Release During an appearance at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in London, Taylor offered her intimate version of Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy\u2019s signature song \u201cRiptide.\u201d She named the track \u201cone of my favorite songs that has come out all year\u201d before launching into her rendition, in which she stripped the song\u2019s production. While accompanying herself at the piano, she was losing herself in the song\u2019s emotions. \u00abFor me, it was a no-brainer. And I wanted to change up the arrangement a little bit and maybe hear what it would sound like, if a girl sang it.\u00bb Taylor Swift Taylor\u2019s cover was released on BBCRadio1\u2019s YouTube channel on October 9, 2014 \u2013 shortly before her blockbuster album 1989 dropped. Her moving cover instantly ignited the Twittersphere, which sent \u201cRiptide\u201d roaring to No. 1 on the Trending 140 hours after the clip reached YouTube. Vance Joy had no warning Taylor planned to cover the song. He said: \u201cIt showed how talented she was [singing] in that stripped back way.\u201d Lyrical Theme Vance Joy described the song as a \u201cstram of conciousness.\u201d According to an interview with American Songwriter, the song remained untouched and unfinished for four years from when Vance started writing it in 2008 until 2012. During long afternoons while his roommate was at work, he would work on it bit by bit. One day after a brief trip to the store, he returned home and played the melody on the ukulele, which he built on to finish the song a few days later. \u00abIt is a weird mish-mash of ideas. Sometimes, you know, I will try to write and stick a bunch of different ideas and images together and it won\u2019t work and I\u2019ll think, \u2018Oh, that doesn\u2019t sound right,\u2019 or, \u2018It sounds too weird and it all conflicts with each other,\u2019 but for some reason that all came together well for \u2018Riptide,\u2019 and when things happen like that it is a bit beyond your control. I had a bunch of different ideas and words, it wasn\u2019t even a general story line like I was referring to an experience or anything. It is more like a stream of consciousness.\u00bb Vance Joy 1989 World Tour Opening Act Shortly after Taylor\u2019s cover of \u201cRiptide,\u201d she announced \u201cThe 1989 World Tour\u201d and that she had handpicked Vance Joy to be her main opening act. He met her beforehand, behind the scenes of the Late Show with David Letterman. In an interview, he said: \u00abShe was lovely. She complimented my music and said she liked \u2018Riptide.\u2019 She said she was excited to have me on tour. It felt very low-key. I might have felt [overwhelmed] if she wasn\u2019t so down-to-earth. It really felt so natural. She\u2019s at the forefront of all creative decisions [with her music] and that comes through. Her personality is front and centre and that\u2019s why her fans are so engaged.\u00bb Vance Joy He continued: \u201cI\u2019m going to be playing to her crowd. I love the idea of being able to capture some of those people and connect with those people. If you are playing to 70,000 people you give your maximum.\u201d Lyrics [Verse 1]I was scared of dentists and the darkI was scared of pretty girls and starting conversationsOh, all my friends are
