Erik's passion for singing started when he was still a kid in Malabon. Erik participated in numerous small-town singing competitions.
Erik became the wildcard entry to the Final 10 of Star in a Million. He had a good start in the contest but got eliminated during the third week of competitions, when it was still a part of the Sunday noontime variety show ASAP. Nevertheless, his second chance came and his rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", won him the 10th and final slot for the semi-finals round. Eventually he became one of the three grand finalists in the showdown for the title of Star in a Million. "This is the Moment", a song from the musical Jekyll and Hyde, popularized by Martin Nievera, won him the title.
Now, with record-breaking chart-toppers from his Platinum debut album (his first single Pagbigyang Muli has stayed on the #1 spot of WRR's hit chart for more than 20 weeks, along with his other songs filling up the charts simultaneously), sold-out concerts and a demand for corporate shows, accolades from Awit Awards, Star Awards and Aliw Awards, endorsements for a bank (Bank of the Philippine Island's Express Remit), theme songs for radio stations, and even movies, Erik has earned mainstream popularity.
It Might Be You
Erik Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching trains go by.
All of my life,
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly.
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me.
Something's telling me it might be you
All of my life...
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life,
Wondering how they met and what makes it last.
If I found the place,
Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you.
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you.
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
It's you
It's you
I've been waiting for all of my life
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
The song "It Might Be You" by Erik Santos is a beautiful representation of the universal longing for true love and companionship. The first two stanzas speak to a sense of waiting and searching for the right person. The singer has spent their life lying on the sand watching seabirds fly, wishing for someone to come home to. The following stanza reflects on seeing other people in love and wondering about the circumstances that led them to find each other. The chorus ("Something's telling me it might be you...") reveals the singer's growing sense that the person they've been waiting for might finally be here. With so much love to make, the singer acknowledges that they might need time but they're convinced that this person is the one they've been searching for all along. The repetition of the phrase "It's you" in the final stanza emphasizes the strength of their conviction.
This song's lyrics are both romantic and hopeful, but not in a naive way. The song emphasizes the feeling of waiting and the importance of taking time to get to know someone before committing oneself fully to a relationship. The singer is clearly hesitant but also convinced that this person is the one they've been searching for all along. "It Might Be You" is an ode to patience, a reminder that sometimes great things take time, and that true love is worth waiting for.
