The Usual Dandy come back with For when you're sad sadnew single out on all platforms from Thursday 6 February 2026. Today we bring you the official video as an exclusive preview on All Music Italia.
This new song by the singer-songwriter was produced by Andrea Piraz and arrives a year after the album SESINEPA! and opens a new chapter in his artistic journey.
The Usual Dandy returns with “For when you're sad, sad”
For when you're sad sad moves within a broad imaginary, between references ranging from Cosmicomics Of Italo Calvino up to places and images that pass from Africa to Louvreto arrive at a much more everyday thought: feeling like “dots” in the universe and, despite everything, trying to make sense of one's own randomness.
The writing is presented as a dedication to those who feel lost but continue to dance. Not a shortcut to avoid sadness, but a way to stay inside it: go through it, welcome it and then let it go, without making it a pose.
The production of Andrea Piraz works on a balance between heaven and everyday life: an immediate melodic base that leaves room for a more poetic and “microcosmic” imagery, while maintaining a recognizable line.
The video clip in exclusive preview on All Music Italia
The video clip accompanies the idea of the song by bringing it to a more narrative level: the artist's personal “instruction manual” for when you are sad, with an invitation to become tourists of your own everyday life. The official release of the video is expected on YouTubebut the first viewing is on All Music Italy in exclusive preview and you can see it here below.
