Underrated OPM songs that you might want to add to your playlist

Music can free our mind and sometimes gives us a little break from the noxious experiences we encounter every day. Music lovers out there would surely agree that nothing can beat music. It feeds our soul, affects our mood and most of all, fuels our mind.

And when we get stuck in this horrendous Manila traffic, music becomes our companion. We open our playlist and plays it along the road. We imagine things as we listen to it; we low-key sing like the world is ours; and we feel like the lyrics to these songs were written just for us.

We listed down some of the most underrated OPM songs that will give you eargasms and might urge you to add to your playlist since OPM is still alive and kicking.
