Rico Blanco was recognized as one of the best artist in Asia. He's a brilliant composer.. check out his other songs.. Bring me down, your universe, balisong.. they are all English.. these are songs in Rivermaya days and his solo gigs

[@Unknown-cj8wy]

A Love to share, rodeo, shattered-like, 241.. these are all in English... He has also numerous Tagalog songs but I didn't mention it because it has language barrier for you. Hahaha

Do not forget his other masterpiece, title is 214.

This song is for those people with doubts and insecurities, especially for those with depression. This song remind those people that your family, friends, and lovers are still on your side. Praying, protecting, understanding, and loving you. So, don't give up.

Everytime I listen to this song, love, faith and death comes to me. The fear of love and lack of faith in God. But He tells us to put our hands to His, to hold on and believe because he is there for us. That's why maybe at the end of the song, it says don't be afraid and sleep tight because we are on His arms, if we believe.

"You'll Be Safe Here", an EP by OPM band Rivermaya, featuring the song with the same name which was first used as the theme song to the 2005 ABS-CBN TV show Spirits. It has 2 music videos where the 2nd music video used an advanced technology that translates the lyrics of the song. This song was also played at the 2006 MTV Asia Awards. Rivermaya was the only Filipino band to perform in the awards show. The song reached #1 on the Philippine music charts in its release and currently, two years after its original release date gained popularity in Asia and is slated for a European release.

The real meaning of 214 is the first line of the song "Am I Real?"

[@agotnamato1218]

Watch korik's blog about that. A band member just thought it up and they just went with it cuz they never had time to make up a good title for it. It was originally titled the proposal and 214 actually means Valentines not "am i real".
