Vacío by Colombian artist Manuel Turizo is a heartfelt confession about the hidden cost of fame and fortune. The singer lists his flashy possessions – million-dollar home, luxury cars, a New York penthouse, even his own chef – yet admits they feel pointless without true friends to share them with. He chased a dream from childhood and achieved global success, but along the way he lost childhood buddies, worried his family, and discovered that a closet packed with designer coats still cannot warm a lonely heart.
At its core, the song reminds us that having everything can still feel like having nothing. Turizo owns islands and airplanes, but inside there is a void: “what I have doesn’t feel like mine.” Listeners learn an important English idiom here – money can’t buy happiness – while also feeling the bittersweet honesty of an artist who always knew what he wanted but never guessed the price he would pay.
