NYC singer-songwriter, Olivia Reid, is taking listeners back to basics with new track, “Quite Simple.”
Capturing a heartfelt conversation with an older man with a life rich with adventure, his advice to younger generations is simple: don’t rush through life.
Reminiscent of the indie/folk autumn vibes of Maggie Rogers, Father John Misty and Samia, “Quite Simple” is a lovely reminder to slow down and be mindful. When things feel complicated, it’s good to remember that our minds have all the power, and “it’s really quite simple.”
“I’ve always had this feeling like I’m running out of time to experience life, and this song is a reminder that I’m not,” explains Reid. “I wrote this story to echo some of the most positive perspectives I’ve heard from the older generation and try to share that with my peer group. In old age, it seems there’s so much to look back on fondly and so many experiences that you don’t even know are ahead of you.”
