Dream Your Life Away is the debut album from Vance Joy, the Australian singer-songwriter born James Keogh who left Australian rules football behind for songwriting. It landed on Liberation Music at home on 5 September 2014 and a few days later in the US through Atlantic, riding the momentum of the God Loves You When You're Dancing EP and the runaway success of "Riptide".
This is breezy, open-hearted folk-pop built on strummed hooks and earnest singing, and "Mess Is Mine", "Georgia" and "First Time" show how much he could get out of that simple setup. Australia took it to number one on the albums chart, a deluxe edition added two new songs and five live cuts a year later, and by early 2018 it had sold more than two million copies worldwide. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 he was named Best Male Artist.
