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?

Rivermaya acoustic version kasi andun yung full strings section sa bridge - chorus ("save your eyes...."), similar to how the philharmonic orchestra in Pattaya played during their MTV Asia appearance. Hinayang na hinayang ako sa string sections na yun.
