Three Tune Tuesday: OPM Just Took Over My Playlist
Happy Tuesday! Joining the #TTT or #ThreeTuneTuesday🤘🏻, thanks to @ablaze for coming up with this amazing idea.
My playlist these days is all over the place in the best way possible. I don’t really have a specific genre or artist I’m obsessed with right now (well, aside from Olivia Dean, who I’ll be featuring in my next TTT blog!). It’s a mix of Christmas songs, soundtracks from musicals I’ve seen and want to see, plus some old favorites from Chappell Roan, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, and NIKI.
But lately, I’ve been adding a lot of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) tracks to the mix.
I was never really into OPM before, but something about the live renditions and stripped-down versions changed that for me. There’s just something about hearing it performed live. It hits differently, y'know!
So, for today’s Three Tune Tuesday, I’m featuring three OPM songs that have been stuck in my head rent-free! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do 💛
🎶 Tumalon by Solace Out The Door
Damdaming 'di mo masabi ay hayaan na lang
Hayaan mong tumaya sa atin man lang
Hinding hindi malalaman kung 'di titignan
I have to thank TikTok for this discovery. This song started playing while I was mindlessly scrolling (don't judge meee hahaha) and I was instantly hooked by the beat. Since then, I’ve been waiting for Solace Out The Door to perform at Jess & Pat’s so I can finally hear them live. Good thing they released this Cozy Cove version. I’ve had it on repeat ever since!
🎶 Miracle Nights by Allmo$t
'Di na ko maghahanap pa ng iba
Gabi gabi tayo mag sasaya
Sayang kasi 'pag nawala ka pa
'Wag mong pansinin ang mga tumitingin
Sa ating dalawa (ating dalawa)
This should’ve been on my guilty pleasure TTT post 😂 I’m both proud and shy to admit I still know every lyric of this song!! I memorized it back during the pandemic when I had it on loop for days... or weeks? Now that they’ve released their Cozy Cove version, it’s found its way back into my playlist, and yep, I still love it 😂
🎶 Mananatili by Cup of Joe
Ating paligid, hindi na natin napapansin
Gabi ay atin, kasabay ng puso at tugtugan
Pag-indak ng ating katawan
Mananatili, hindi tiyak ang bukas natin
Ngunit itong gabi ay atin
I’ve been listening to Cup of Joe non-stop since their concert last October. I know this song came out a few years ago but I only discovered it recently and it was love at first listen. Maybe it’s the beat or maybe it’s the message… or maybe both.

Always appreciate this new OPM playlist haha I love it and right now, while I don't listen to a lot of OPM as nothing caught my attention until this, I've been diving into Cpop and C R&B.
Yeey! Glad you loved it 😍 I still have a lot to feature!
I haven't explored Cpop and C R&B, any reco?
I rarely listen to OPM songs, but these are great! I see why you love Mananatili, it has a certain charm. I like it a lot!
hope you liked them! OPM really has so many hidden gems 😊

I also love listening to OPM songs. I don't like most of the Filipino songs nowadays. 🤣
