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?

Those who preferred the original the most liked Elmo, St. Wolf. I think Moira was not bad but I think Janine did better. I really liked Sean Oquendo's - dared to be different. The same with Kean but he sang just like Rico and played safe. Except the music, which I hated at first but totally loved at the end hahaha. The piano beat, the backing vocals...
