Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy seems to have a soft spot for Bruce’s greatest hit: he’s covered it frequently, and if you want to hear it, you have several pro-shot video clips and high-quality audio clips to choose from.

This one’s my favorite, from June 7, 2014 in Toronto. Something about his vocals and his expressions perfectly capture the deep-set frustration and isolation at the root of “Dancing in the Dark.

There’s some beautiful camera work at play here, but Vance’s performance is commanding on its own.
