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.
Misty Glass Window
Erik Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark clouds are racing up above
I gaze in solitude
Looking through a misty glass window
'Cause then it used to be the two of us
This empty room
Filled my thoughts with memories of you
Oh, but found no sight of you
I guess it'll never be as true, no no ooh
Starlight
All I need is you tonight
Oh, starbright
Grant my wish tonight
I'm beggin' you, starlight
All I need is you tonight
Hoh, starbright
Get rid of the spell tonight, ooh
Rain falls
Dark clouds keep racing up above
It's still in solitude
Oh, longin' for you
Guess my heart will always be with you
My heart will always be with you
REPEAT Hoh, starbright
Get rid of the spell tonight

Rain falls
It's raining outside
Dark clouds are racing up above
There are fast-moving thick clouds in the sky
I gaze in solitude
I am alone and looking outside
Looking through a misty glass window
I am looking through a foggy window
'Cause then it used to be the two of us
I remember when we used to look outside together
This empty room
I am in a room with no one else
Filled my thoughts with memories of you
I am thinking about you and our past experiences
I turned and looked around
I looked around the room
Oh, but found no sight of you
You are not in the room with me
I guess it'll never be as true, no no ooh
I realize that things will never be the same again
Starlight
The light from stars in the sky
All I need is you tonight
I wish you were here with me
Oh, starbright
A bright star in the sky
Grant my wish tonight
I hope my wish for you to be here comes true
I'm beggin' you, starlight
I am pleading with the stars to bring you here
Hoh, starbright
Another reference to the bright star in the sky
Get rid of the spell tonight, ooh
I hope that the stars will remove whatever is keeping you away from me
Guess my heart will always be with you
I will always love you and hold you in my heart
My heart will always be with you
I will always love you and hold you in my heart
Rain falls
It's still raining outside
Dark clouds keep racing up above
The thick clouds in the sky are still moving fast
It's still in solitude
I am still alone and looking outside
Oh, longin' for you
I am still missing you
Hoh, starbright
Another reference to the bright star in the sky
Get rid of the spell tonight
I still hope the stars will bring you back to me
