Nowadays, more and more artists are making a revival of old songs. Some of them are doing this to pay tribute to the original singer and composer of the songs. An example of this is the album The Reunion: An Eraserheads tribute album released by star records and star cinema. This album is composed of 14 Eheads' songs revived by various pinoy singers and bands including Vin Dancel, Aiza Seguerra, Jay Durias, Marc Abaya of kjwan, Callalily, Chicosci, 6cyclemind and more.
On the other hand, the researcher read about an article in Yahoo Voices entitled Revival by OPM Artists and its Possible Impact on the Philippine Music Industry by Aaron Tadeo saying " there are a lot of original Filipino songs and a lot of them are coming from the Rock genre and a lot of them are really good. Reviving old songs also has its perks. It does keep the old songs alive even for the next generations. So even after a few more generations, when these OPM songs are revived, even the kids of our kids could still relish the legacy of original Filipino music. So if you'll ask me, just keep it low. Don't revive too much of the old songs. Why not compose an entirely new song that will last? Let's be more competitive."(http://voices.yahoo.com/revivals-opm-artists-its-possible-impact-on-5875260.html)
For the researcher, he's statement is right. It is good to revive old songs if it helps us preserve it and keep it alive for the future generation. But it is not good if we will depend on reviving old songs, we should make more original songs because the generation today is now different to the generation before.
