Octavio - Nineteen (Sad for No Reason)

By: Caleb Johnson IG: CJSleeves

Perfect for a rainy day spring day, a hard day at work, or even a long day quarantined inside your house, Octavio’s new song ‘Nineteen’ is exactly what we need. There is a reason that the subtitle is ‘Sad For No Reason’, but that’s not because that’s how the song makes you feel. For me, it made me feel hopeful and understood more than anything.

Octavio does a wonderful job at conveying different emotions through the duration of the track, both through lyrics and just straight up vibes. It’s written over a slow guitar and heavy drums, with his reverbed vocals rising over it all to tell the story. The story is that of a broken heart sometime around his nineteenth party, leaving Octavio alone while those around him are celebrating. It’s an incredible song, not only for when you’re sad but when you need to know that everyone has hard days, too.

Lyrics That Stick:

“Lately I’ve been feeling sad for no reason

So I go get high for the evening”
