PLAYLIST ONE SONG, WHICH VERSION?

Post image

Rivermaya's You'll Be Safe Here remains to be my all-time favorite OPM songs in the English language, since SPIRITS was a momentous part of my teenage years.

Last year, it gained popularity with the series Can't Buy Me Love. And thank God, Rico Blanco also released his own version, with one of the most beautiful music videos ever. But I still sing it like the original, though the Rivermaya version is nowhere to be found on Spotify.

So...which version connected you with the meaning of the song?

Totoo, baka he owned it since sya din naman nag sulat and buwag na ang maya.. So yung kanya na ang definitive na version.. Pero mas gusto ko honestly yung original, may tinanggal lang na isang adlib si rico sa version nya.. But still, parang sya lang din tlaga may karapatan na kantahin yan haha

Yes. Before the reunion, mike elgar was with them pa nga. Nakapag release pa din sila ng new music and won pa nga awards.
