Two music videos have been made for "Balisong". The first came out in 2004. It begins with a piano intro by vocalist Rico Blanco
, then the band starts to play the song inside a room that is lit by sunlight. As the song progresses, pictures and letters are shown all over the room, revealing the "past relationship" that the song is portraying was being reminisced.
The second video came out in 2006, when Rivermaya had just released their international debut "You'll Be Safe Here
". The video was set in a carnival where Rivermaya is one of the acts. This video also shows Rico Blanco
playing the piano, but to a lesser extent. As the video plays, Rico Blanco
is attracted to a certain woman, dressed in a red gown. He then comes up to the woman and sings to her the chorus of the song. The song ends when all the carnival acts leave and the band is left alone. This video was renamed "Bali Song," possibly to differentiate it from the first video.
"Balisong" is one of very few OPM songs which have two different videos made for them. Other songs performed by OPM bands which have two music videos are "You'll Be Safe Here" also by Rivermaya
, "Narda" and "Ambisyoso" by Kamikazee
, "Stars" by Callalily
, "Yugto" by Rico Blanco
, and "With A Smile" by Eraserheads.
