ALLAN THE MAN

The 'Phil So Good' music video starting to become viral over the web. The music video starring a Frenchman singing about his love for our country, The Philippines, catches the attention of netizens over the web. 

The music video was shot on location across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It shows Drolon basking in the sun on various beaches in the country and extolling, in French and English, this "paradise on earth". Also seen in the music video is our very own Filipina Actress Rhian Ramos who did the rapping part of the song.

While the music is an upbeat mix of funk, reggae and dance pop, and lends a cosmopolitan touch to the tropical scenarios. It is composed by French writer-turned-musician Julien Drolon. 

According to his interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer, Drolon described the Philippines as the land of music in Asia. He also added that in France they don't live music the way Filipinos do.

Drolon has so far recorded six songs with an all-Filipino lineup of musicians that also serve as his regular band, including keyboardist Leal Nanca, who wrote the rap lyrics to "Phil So Good." Drolon has also worked with Noel Mendez, Jack Rufo, Rico Blanco and the band Brownman Revival.

'PHIL SO GOOD' English/Tagalog Lyrics

Paradise islands, white sand beach

Tropical jungles where tribes still live

Land of Rizal and the guitar strings

Gotta find some time to live it here

I am in the Philippines x 3

And I feel so good, so good

People speak tagalog, sometimes taglish

They love to have fun, they know how to live

With a warm welcome, they will make you feel

Like it is your turn to smile and sing

I am in the Philippines x 3

And I feel so good, so good

comma down selectah…

seat back relax uminum ng beer

itaas ang bote isigaw ang cheers

lay back, while listenin smooth jazz and

feel the cold breeze and keep the wheels blazin

cause all we need is a time to relax

ihanda na ang serbeza lets drink some wapak

sige sige dont stop, non stop ang saya

pag-katapos ng lahat libutin luzviminda

tawagan mo na si jo and i will text julien

hatakin na si joven all over again

cause the best thing in life is life and that’s true

huwag hayaan ang saya lagpasan ka nito

take a zip just a trip and take a deep breath

libutin tiaong gubat all by your self

fiyah grill, cold beer, lay back and chill

watch the daet sunsets thats the thrill

sounds cool huh

I am in the Philippines x 3

And I feel so good, so good

Boracay in summer, I went there twice

Wanna feel colder, go to the rice terraces

Palawan is where I took my love

She wanted a romance under the sun

Surf is the best in Siargao

You can also dance up to Malasimbo

And when I need a break from Manila

I got a secret place that I won’t say to ya

I am in the Philippines x 3

And I feel so good, so good
