Riptide - Vance Joy (Cover) (and a sign of life :) )

[max_mue]

Hey there It’s been a while

First of all:
Sorry for taking an unanounced break, the first half of 2022 was pretty rough and challenging, but after 2 years of an exhausting “training” and several exams I’ve finished the last part of my educational journey to become a teacher

The constant evaluation took some “toll” though and e.g. I played music rather to relax and not to perform in any kind of way. So yeah, I’m glad that this stresful part is finally over and I can really enjoy getting out there again

As promised, a short musical sign of life. Nothing fancy, just a (two take ) recording that I enjoy playing at the moment after a long day No need for any elaborate feedback, I just wanted to say hello

Cover. Riptide . Vance joy

Yo Max, long time no see so great to see and hear you again!
Great stuff, enjoyed it and it’s up to your usual standard so you’ve been practicing haven’t you?
Congratulations on becoming a teacher, it’s a very worthwhile job!

[max_mue]

Hey Darrell, thank your ver much!

so you’ve been practicing haven’t you?

I picked up the guitar again a few weeks ago, but in the months prior I practiced rarely

Congratulations on becoming a teacher, it’s a very worthwhile job!

Thank you!

Missed you bud and great to see you returning in style, Max is bax !
Huge congrats on qualifying and I hope you thoroughly enjoy your teaching career.
If you were just playing to relax in the past, boy that means we are in for a treat if you have now relaxed and stress free.

A song I vaguely knew and recognised but once again you just take ownership and let rip. Stunning performance and a lovely listen. Don’t stray to far !!

Cheers

Toby

Heraclitus was wrong- You can step into the same river twice!
Max, you did it! Nothing’s changed
Well, OK- a riptide, not quite a river- but nearly the same thing
Wilkommen an Bord, Kapitän

Hi Max glad to see you back buddy! congratz on getting your degree, hopefully teaching children will be a great fulfilling adventure for you and you’ll enjoy it a lot! And of course hopefully you will get your time with guitar back so you can gift us with such a wunderbar gifts I love the song and nice timing as I think Justin just uploaded a day ago ukulele version of this track!

You did it justice and I thoroughly enjoyed your version, had a pleasure of seeing Vance Joy live and it was a great show. If they ever stop by around your place I strongly recommend going to see them. In the meantime I hope you stick around with us all the best

Great playing, great share. It’s a super popular, iconic song and I think you did a great job, especially with the singing.
