KEITH URBAN - BURDEN


3 special reasons to watch Keith's performance



I am not a big fan of country music but when it comes up for Keith Urban, I never leave even a single performance of him to watch and listen.

Recently at ACM of 2019, Keith was crowned with "Entertainer of the year" in male artist category where he gave an emotional performance of Burden, originally written and sung by Irish artist Foy Vance. 

I found this performance very special because of the following three reasons:

1- ACM Performance by a cover
It means so much for an artist to play his own song whenever there is a big platform like Oscar, Grammy or ACM yet he never selected any of his single to perform but a cover of Foy Vance. That was unlike him yet he inspired all of us and never let us feel a burden on him for carrying a cover. He did an incredible job!

2- No use of Instrument
After "Tonight I wanna cry" where he did exceptional by playing piano only, he surprised us this time by playing nothing at all by himself. He just gave his full shot on vocals and let the team play instruments for him. It was a treat to watch the solo play of him dived in deep sentiments.

3- Unique soothing style
Though Keith's cover is not much different than Foy Vance's original work yet right from the beginning of the song there was Keith's aura all around. There is a charm in Keith's voice that is observed in his every song. 

Those who have not heard this song yet, they may listen if they want a soothing hand of their favorite artist in lowering down their BURDEN!

Cheers!
