Riptide (by Vance joy) (cover)
Acoustic indie folk ballad featuring a single steel-string acoustic guitar and a melodic male vocal. The guitar performance uses a steady down-up strumming pattern with a rhythmic emphasis on the lower strings to provide a percussive foundation. The chord progression is centered around a bright, open-key tonality, likely G major, at a moderate tempo of approximately 90 BPM. The male vocals are delivered in a clean, intimate tenor range with a slight breathy quality and natural vibrato. The production is dry and minimalist, focusing on a close-mic recording style that captures the resonance of the guitar body and the subtle nuances of the vocal performance without heavy reverb or electronic processing. The structure follows a standard verse-chorus transition with a rising melodic contour in the vocal line during the transition.

Lyrics
Verse
I was scared of dentists in 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 dreams
Chorus
Ooh
