We talked about Foy (Vance), who\u2019s 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 rode around London for like two hours listening to Foy Vance non-stop,\u201d Urban says in a new video that details the story behind his cover of the song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when I got back to Nashville, I realized that I had never even seen him play live \u2014 he must be fantastic \u2014 so I jumped on YouTube and heard this song \u2019Burden,\u2019 and just fell in love with him. I thought, \u2018I\u2019d love to be able to do a version of the song,&#8217;\u201d he added, \u201cthe way that I was feeling it in my heart.\u201d If Urban does in fact want to see Vance live, his next show is on May 25 at Ward Park in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<iframe  id=\"_ytid_24154\"  width=\"676\" height=\"380\"  data-origwidth=\"676\" data-origheight=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LiPR5Lv3KQ0?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=1&autohide=2&hl=en_US&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Urban, the Academy of Country Music\u2019s newly crowned entertainer of the year, performed the song on the ACM Awards on April 7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe brevity of the song spoke to me as someone that has needed to hear that in my life and needed to hear that offered to me. I love songs that speak to the human condition of struggle and the idea that it\u2019s okay, I can help you\u2026let me carry your burden,\u201d Urban said of the song he thinks of as a beautifully written, minimalist prayer and\/or a beautiful gospel hymn.<\/p>\n<p>Vance must approved, because he\u2019s recently been retweeting all the posts about Urban\u2019s version of \u201cBurden.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Well this is a lovely surprise.
