    my VERY OWN meaning of "214" ay nanggaling mismo sa experience ko. February 14, 2014 sinagot ako ng girlfriend ko at exactly 2:14 nang madaling araw. Sobrang gandang timing. Kaya by the time na ikinisal kami February 4, 2021 (21-4-2) this song was our wedding song. Greatest day of my life.

    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!

  • @jmalegromusic

    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. Thank you 😁♥️

  • @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.

    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.

    For me, this is your most personal vlog so far. Ramdam na ramdam kita nung balik tanaw lalo na nung tinuro mo yung room mo and those moments at the Atrium. Mejo na teary-eyed ako, maalikabok ata dito sa bahay. Also made me think back the first time I saw you perform live, Chatterbox October 8, 1995.

I like how you narrate things in your life, your songs and this 214 title. I like how you invite/ encourage viewers to give their own idea to the 3 numbers. 👏👌🙂

    Kaya sobrang happy ako na naging Batang 90's ako. The band era. ❤️♥️ Nostalgic maxado sa feeling na nabuhay kami sa era na walang mobile phones. Na we always treasure every song na naririnig namin kasi pahirapan talaga before makabili ng albums. As in lunod na lunod kami, pure talent, music. Hay, sarap balikan. Cassette tapes pa yon, gumagamit pa kami nga ballpen rewind/forward. 😂 Tz excited kami bumili ng songhits. 😂🤣 Nakakamiss maxado.

    PS. Ang lovely and humble ng pamilya nyo. God bless to the whole fam! 💕

    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.

    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.

Grabe, yung musika dumadaloy sa ugat ng bawat isa. Walang teknolohiya na magnanakaw ng oras sa atin, basta full of actual memories of life lang. Thank you for your music and this video.. for takkng tike to bring us back to how it all began. Pinakita mo pa samin family mo, etc.. Maris, nako!!! Eto na yun. Sana next boyfriend ko sing kalmado mo bahahaha. Maris.... nako mapapasanaol na lang kame. Godbless. Dapat Judge ka na ng the voice and other contests. You deserve it... beyond pa.. more power, RB.

    More than the revelation of the meaning of 214, what I love was that Rico still visits his parents regularly. No wonder, when he had his gig with IV OF SPADES last Aug., I met his dad seated in the audience, in full support to his son.😊 He is so kind and well-mannered, may picture pa sila ng daughter ko. God bless you, idol!😊
