Country music superstar Keith Urban and Foy Vance recently teamed up to take "Burden" acoustic. Watch the performance here!
Ever since the country music superstar’s live performance of “Burden” during the 2019 ACM Awards, fans have been yearning for a Keith Urban and Foy Vance collaboration. Luckily, the country music star and the Irish singer-songwriter recently satiated fans’ wishes when the two paired up in the studio. The 51-year-old couldn’t wait to meet Vance.
“We played at the 02 in London and Ed [Sheeran] came out to see us play,” Urban recalls. “We talked about Foy [Vance], who’s an incredible musician and songwriter. The next day, I had a day off in London, so i got on my bike and put my headphones on and road around London for like two hours listening to Foy nonstop. And when I got back to Nashville, I realized that I had never seen him play live – he must be fantastic – so I jumped on Youtube and heard this song ‘Burden’ and just fell in love with him. I thought, ‘I’d love to be able to do a version of the song – the way that I was feeling it in my heart.'”
Let me carry your burden
If somethin’ ain’t right I will let you know
Like the pain that’s drying on a heart that’s broke
Let me carry your burden
Get you back on a high when you’re feeling low
When the weight’s too heavy but you won’t let go
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile and you know you will
No matter how much you’re hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
So let me carry your burden
Let me carry your burden
When your mouth’s on fire but your mind is cold
And you’re fanning flames that won’t keep you warm
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile and you know you will
No matter how much you’re hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
Let me carry your burden, oh brother of mine
Let me carry your burden
Come tomorrow you’ll be right as rain
It’ll quench your fire, wash away your stains
Yes it will, yeah
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile and you know you will
Oh it don’t matter how much you’re hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
I just might see it in another life
I got no dog here in the fight
I could carry your burden, oh brother of mine
I could carry your burden
I could carry your burden
Carry your burden
Yes I can, yes I can
