For those who waited a year, Rico Blanco's new album "Your Universe" is definitely worth it. It's a defining mark in the 35-year-old musician's career, and a reminder that he has the freedom to experiment and collaborate with others without compromising sound.
Through the ten tracks of "Your Universe," we can confirm that Rico's personal passions are gracefully translated into songs distinctly and undeniably his, even as he collaborates with some of the industryβs best musicians for this album.
He knows how to tickle the fancy of Filipinos by delivering the right amount of romantic prose minus the extra saccharine shot of sap. Perhaps it can be said that he knows the formula of the Filipino's heart which makes his music work. Definition and identity. This is what sets Rico Blanco apart from most of the local acts. He knows his niche in the industry and makes his mark the way a true blooded artist should: original and a strong definition of one's identity.

Rico Blanco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside the nights and days.
Wishing on a silver cloud,
Crawling across the moonbeams.
A summer night in heaven
Between the stars and waves.
Race across the old bonfire;
Trample on my heartbeat.
I wanted to turn you on
My favorite song.
Wanted to be near you
But somebody owns you now.
I love you with a fire,
Ablazing till times end
But what good is a heart
When it shudders to speak.
I guess it's too late now.
'i wanted to turn you on
My favorite song.
Wanted to be near you
But (of course) somebody owns you
Now.
(and) I tried to live somehow
Somebody owns you now' (repeat 2x)
The lyrics to Rico Blanco's "214" express a longing for eternal life, and wishes to be immortalized within moments of beauty and wonder in the world. The singer wishes to exist forever in the nights and days, and dreams of crawling across moonbeams, basking in summer nights in heaven, and feeling the thrill of racing across a bonfire. The lyrics also reveal a deep affection for someone who is no longer available, and a yearning to be close to them and share something as intimate as one's favorite song. However, it becomes clear that somebody else has claimed their affections and ownership, leading the singer to question the value of love when they are unable to express themselves freely.

I want to live forever
I wish to exist indefinitely
Inside the nights and days.
Throughout all moments, whether light or dark.
Wishing on a silver cloud,
Desiring something enchanting and seemingly unobtainable.
Crawling across the moonbeams.
Suggesting a fantastical journey to another place.
A summer night in heaven
An ethereal moment of happiness.
Between the stars and waves.
Amidst the vastness of the universe and the sea.
Race across the old bonfire;
A carefree moment of exhilaration, excitement or maybe even an adrenaline rush.
Trample on my heartbeat.
A desire to feel a heart-throbbing passion.
I wanted to turn you on
I longed to captivate your attention and turn you on emotionally.
My favorite song.
My most cherished and special song, one that holds significant emotional value or memories.
Wanted to be near you
I craved to be close to you and share personal moments together.
But somebody owns you now.
Unfortunately, your affection is already reserved for another.
I love you with a fire,
My love for you is intense and passionate.
Ablazing till times end
This ardent love will last an endless amount of time.
But what good is a heart
What point or value is there in a heart
When it shudders to speak.
If it's unable to confidently express one's emotions and desires.
I guess it's too late now.
Regretfully, it seems like it's too late to convey my feelings to you.

Am I real? Do the words I speak before you make you feel,
That the love I lay for you will see no ending?
Well if you look into my eyes then you should know,
That there is nothing here to doubt, nothing to fear,
And you can lay your questions down cause if you'll hold me
We can fade into the night and you'll know
The world could die, and everything may lie,
Still you shan't cry
Cause time may pass, but longer than it'll last
I'll be by your side
Take my hand, and gently close your eyes so you could understand
That there's no greater love tonight than what I've for you,
Well, if you feel the same way for me, then let go
We can journey to a garden no one knows.
Life is short my darling tell me that you love me
So we could fade into the night and you'll know
The world could die, and everything may lie,
Still you shan't cry
Cause time may pass, and everything won't last
But I'll be by your side,
Forever by your side,
So you won't cry
