@@johnnytolentino4909 Why?

[@paolomacatbag8607]

I thought it was derived from a bible verse, which seemed to make sense: Revelation 21:4 NIV [4] 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” The world would die and everything may lie Still you shouldn't cry 'Cause time may pass But longer than it'll last I'll be by your side PS. What’s even astounding is when you listen to the intro, it sounds like it’s God who’s speaking to you. See below: Am I real? (Is God real?) Do the words I speak before you make you feel (Are His words, written in the Holy Bible, felt?) That the love I lay for you will see no ending? (That His love is unlimited?) Well, if you look into my eyes, then you should know (If we look up to Him we find wisdom) That there is nothing here to doubt, nothing to fear (That if we are within His presence, we neither doubt nor fear) But of course, this is just an interpretation and my personal perspective. Love is a universal language and therefore it transcends all types of relationships (including our relationship with God). Hence, probably the coincidence. Or so I thought.

[@angelamendoza6457]

This was my husband's song for me. When he passed away, I felt like he already know that he was leaving me that's why he sang this to me. Parang song of goodbye but with affirmation na he will always be with me. I felt every word of this song when he passed and it was sad and happy at the same time. The line, "we can journey to a garden no one knows." is like a journey with him in my dream, in heaven, and in reality. This song helped me grieve and move on. Thank you so much for writing it.

Nakakatuwa isipin na instead of just telling us the story behind the meaning of 214 is dinala mo talaga kami sa perspective mo at sa mga places kung saan at papano nabuo yung kanta. Sa loob ng 21 minutes at 23 seconds na yun, for a moment, I felt like I was in your world. (baduy ba? haha) You took me to another dimension Rico. Napaka detailed mo mag kwento at smooth yung transition ng scenes with the story you are telling. Another thing na napansin ko is hindi nyo po nakakalimutan yung mga taong nakatrabaho nyo noon, which is humbling. Hindi ka lang po magaling na musician, you are also a good story teller.

I would love to see a new album from you, a theme/movie like this where you tell stories of your life incorporated with new compositions plus old compositions (the ones got famous and ones that never been released, I’m sure you had a few). This video gives me goosebumps; from the family side, experiences, going to the bus, describing the life of a Laguna boi (hello from Sta Rosa). Most importantly, I’m so happy where you are now sir. 214 was my sanctuary when I was a kid and I just want to say you’re my hero. Looking forward for the next big hit from you sir! God bless!

[@mykindamusic]

Nakakatuwa naman malaman yung story behind "214" and straight from the songwriter pa. Marami na rin ako narinig na theories before, and I guess I kinda get why Nathan thought of 2/14 like Valentine's; haha, it's also 'coz of the first working title, "The Proposal." If you recheck the lyrics, it's about a person professing love to another, saying they'll be there 'til forever. And cool enough, when the camera zoomed in on the paper showing the first line, "Am I real?" I thought, too, that that was the number of letters per syllable. I love the song, and many people I know also love it. Rico Blanco, ever since I learned that you wrote the songs for Rivermaya, I've been amazed and thought that you are a gifted songwriter. Glad I grew up listening to OPM bands, lots of beautiful memories.

Based sa mga sinabi niya, heto ang nadecipher ko: 18:02 - "Am I Real was the best bet pero I wasn't so sold" 18:04 - "Si Nathan pumasok.. Akin na nga. Patingin nga ng lyrics, nakasulat siya sa isang pad. Tapos lumabas siya ng studio, sa amin then he was giggling. Sabi niya, tumatawa siya, sabi niya nandoon na may title na. Sabi ko ano yun? Tinignan ko, anu to? Two (2) version 2 tapos slash 14. Tapos tumatawa siya, sabi niya Valentines hahaha. Tapos tumawa lang yung bandmates, parang Tangina ang baduy mo. E hindi rin siya seryoso." 18:32 - "Tinitignan ko, 2/14 sa title tapos yung first line Am I Real. Na notice ko na 2 letters yung Am, 1 letter yung I, 4 letters yung Real. So baka pwede. So yun na muna yung working title niya, 214 - Am I Real" Maybe, Yung Valentines/February 14 talaga ang meaning nung 214 noong lumabas si Nathan sa kwento ni Rico pero it's only a joke. Yung Am I Real siguro ay yung "best bet" ng banda and is a coincident na napansin ni Rico kasi sinabi rin niya na hindi bumenta sa kanya. Pero sinabi niya na pwede. 214 - Am I Real. So baka nga talaga Am I Real yung totoong meaning Para naman sa akin February 14 yung nakalakihan ko na meaning niyan since pati yung lyrics ng kanta, mas umakma sa Valentines day. Para sa akin ha. Opinion ko lang naman ito. Salamat pala sa Video mo Boss Rico. Saludo ang batang 90's sayo!

Tsaka panay nood sa MYX at MTV after school. Dun lang ako nakaka panood noon. Sa radyo naman inaabangan yung Top 10 at Top 20. Pinangarap ko pa maging VJ or DJ noon like nung VJ pa si Heart Evangelista. LOL

[@anja1627]

Hahahaha true! 🤣 Addict na addict ako sa Radiohead noon. Laging nakaabang sa MTV. 😁

[@christiannalugon8343]

I play guitar, college years ko ang sikat ng mga banda, kaya busy din ako pag may inuman, 😅😂😎

[@Cheyahvaleroso]

Same here

[@teresitaarizabal659]

One of my favorite song.

[@kirkandrewabellanosa1982]

I just don't know why I keep on viewing this craft. Maybe this has something to do during my teenage years or high school life way back in the '90s. Indeed, memories bring back memories. So nostalgic. Thank you sir Rico and Rivermaya for this masterpiece and for being part in some chapters of my life. Keep it up, keep on inspiring. God bless 🙏 Ps. When I heard that you will be performing at Surigao del Sur , I really wanted to go unfortunately, too much work in my station.Huhu Well, hope and pray to see you some other time. God-willing.

A born storyteller - voice, enunciation, cadence, modulation. Great for voiceovers, narration, documentaries.

More of this sir. And maybe your experiences(recording, transition to guitar) during the Trip era. Fan from Bacolod City.

[@SpicyGaming101]

@@damnation1928 sana nga may feature videos like this one pa in the future, yung tipong parang time capsule lang for the fans sa origin ni Sir Rico as a musician.

[@alfredobaulajr.6132]

Truueeee 🥰

[@angeligwenn8969]

Bentang benta sakin yung "aray nabatukan pa ako" at "after Miami, Pacita?" hahaha! Typical convo ng mother and son. Dito mo makikita ganu sila ka-close ng mom niya. Family oriented man. Given na kasi yung legend siya. Dito, nakita ko ang the other side of Rico Blanco.

[@johnybrokeit]

My goodness, what a treat this video is. And so beautifully done! Cool camera work and editing, thank you :) This is such a huge treat for us fans :) I loved listening to your niece asking u if u have a mom 😂 Im sorry im not perfect in understanding tagalog so i might have messed up some of the words. Im indian but i spent my college days in the philippines. Cuz my parents had to move there. What a beautiful treat this is, thank you for this history lesson behind 214, Sir Jee :)

[@auy3283]

Respect! Very humble person.

You're so talented. Keep on singing. Keep on writing. Keep on composing.

[@ramilcurato]

There is no cooler artist who talks about the real meaning of their one of the most greatest song.

[@bobetlopezvlogtv9433]

2 = represents 2 people 1 = union or marriage of 2 people 4 = represents LOVE, the very reason or essence of the union between 2 people. For me that's the meaning of 214 💑 >>> "TWO PEOPLE BECOME ONE BECAUSE OF LOVE"!

[@nostupidgod9415]

Parang spice girls lang pre. Two become one 🤣

[@bellastvpinaygardenerincal4418]

Thank you Rico for sharing this. 214 is been my all time favorite Filipino song because the title itself was full of mystery to me. Not anymore after watching your video;). Believe it or not, I've been searching for the true meaning of the song for ages. The first few minutes I watched your video, I felt bored. I'm kinda direct the point person and don't like "Detours," but then something telling me to wait for a minute and then what got me is how you treat your parents and from there I was sold. I'm glad I did, because the next stop was, you brought me back to places where once I belonged to. Since the Pandemic, I haven't been back home to see my family. They live in Paranaque. And your video not just brought so much emotions to my heart and soul, but you gave me a free tour of those special places, my old routes when I I used to work. So much have changed back home and I want to thank you for sharing this video. Not only that you brought me back/transported me to our motherland briefly, but I've learned so much from this video about love, patience and respect. Take care and God bless!
