       James Gabriel Keogh(born 1 December 1987), known professionally as Vance Joy, is an Australian singer and songwriter. He signed a five-album deal with Atlantic Records in 2013. He released his debut EP God Loves You When You're Dancing in March 2013. His song "Riptide" was voted number 1 on the 2013 Triple J Hottest 100. Joy released his debut studio álbum Dream Your Life Away on 5 September 2014 in Australia and on 9 September 2014 elsewhere. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015, he won Best Male Artist. His second studio album, Nation of Two, was released in 2018.

       Nation of Two is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy. The album was announced on 12 January 2018, with Vance Joy explaining: "Nation of Two describes a perfectly self-contained couple; their world beginning and ending at the bed they share, the car they ride in, or any other place where they're together... the idea that their love for each other gives them their bearings; a point of reference that makes sense of life." The concept originally appeared in the Kurt Vonnegut novel Mother Night.

         At the ARIA Music Awards of 2018, Nation of Two won Best Adult Contemporary Album.

I love you in the morning when the blood runs to your cheeks

Babe, you are the first thing and the last thing that I'd see

I was just a boy striking matches upon your heart

I couldn't get no sparks

 

Ask me to go faster, put my foot down to the floor

Standing at the edge, I feel like I've been here before

Loved you in the darkness and I loved you in fluorescent light

If it don't feel right, babe

 

You can run and hide, babe

Like a bird you can take flight

If I've been holding on too tight

If I've been holding on

 

Mmm-hmm, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

 

Your mother always told us we should go out to the dance

You can't get struck by lightning if you're not standing in the rain

Take it as the truth or you can take it with a grain of salt

If it don't work out

 

You were in the shower, we were talking through the glass

Packing up your suitcase, you were humming to yourself

One day you were smiling, I could tell by how you sounded on the phone

You said, "I'm coming home, babe"

 

I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe

I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe

I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe

I'm thinking 'bout coming home

 

I'm thinking 'bout coming home

I'm thinking 'bout coming home.
