"I thought it was time to release a special acoustic version of the song."
Aussie singer-songwriter Riley Pearce is celebrating 20 million streams of his breakout single Brave with a special acoustic cover and we here at theMusic.com.au have the exclusive premiere.
Retaining all the warmth and familiarity of the original, speaking to The Music today, Pearce said, "This song has been so good to me over the years, opened up new audiences and probably allowed me to keep going as a musician.
"So many people have come up to me at shows or sent kind messages online about how the song got them through really hard times and that alone means the world to me. With the original hitting 20 million streams I thought it was time to release a special acoustic version of the song."
The cover comes following a run of secret location shows from Pearce earlier in the year, where ticket-holders were given the location the day before the show took place.
