What “214” means
Since it was released 25 years ago, people are wondering what’s the meaning behind the numerical title of song ‘214’.
The love ballad ‘214’ is one of the classic hits of the 90s alternative rock band Rivermaya.
Theories regarding the meaning of the numerical title have emerged throughout the years. The song is related to Valentines Day, February 14 while some are saying that ‘214’ translates to the song’s first line ‘Am I real’ and another one which based the title on the alphabet which spelled as ‘BAD.’
In his blog, Rico Blanco finally shed light on the hit song’s title 25 years after its release.
The track had several working titles such as ‘The Proposal,’ ‘Forever By Your Side,’ and ‘The World Could Die,’ but Blanco revealed it was the band’s bassist Nathan Azarcon who coined the ‘214’ title.
