So here’s the video of ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID recording sessions (Lyrics by Robert Labayen, arrangement by Marcus and AmberDavis).

[Piolo Pascual]
Kung kailan pinakamadilim

[KC Concepcion]
Ang mga tala ay mas nagniningning

[Piolo Pascual]
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap

[KC Concepcion]
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag

[Mark Bautista]
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat

[Rachelle Ann Go]
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas

[Jed Madela]
Sa init ng mga yakap

[Erik Santos, Mark Bautista]
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

[All]
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

[Billy Crawford]
Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan

[Sarah Geronimo]
Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan

[Billy Crawford]
Dumaan man sa malakas na alon

[Sarah Geronimo]
Lahat tayo’s makakaahon

[Sitti]
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat

[Aiza Seguerra, Duncan Ramos, Nina]
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

[All Boys]
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

[Rachelle Ann Go]
Kikislap ang pag-asa

[Piolo Pascual]
Kahit kanino man

[Yeng Constantino]
Dahil ikaw Bro,

[All]
dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro

[Sarah Geronimo]
Ang star ng pasko

[Pinoy Little Dreamers from Pinoy Dream Academy]
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

[All Boys]
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

[All]
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro

[Sarah Geronimo]
Ang star ng pasko!

I’ll just admit this to you now
That I’m stuck on glue on you some how
ooh ooh ooh ooh

Don’t want to feel so cold inside
I want to feel the warmth that I feel with you, all the time
Surrounding me just like the wind
Cause you’re the one who makes me see

Help me find myself,
Like how I found you
ooh ooh ooh ooh

I need you so
we can live happily
too ooh ooh ooh ooh

I just want you
I just want you

I want to go out with you tonight,
a picnic with candle light I might
just hold you tight (just hold you tight)

Tell me you want to be my queen
If not it’s ok a princess seems
just my type I promise I’ll be there tonight,

I want to keep you warm when winters white
And make the summer walks on the beach sound nice, I want you now
To talk with on the phone for hours at a time
Baby I just want you too be mine all mine

Help me find
myself like how I found you
ooh ooh ooh ooh

I need you so
we can live happily too
ooh ooh ooh ooh

I just want you

I want to be your Valentine, your Christmas wish, your pick up line
I want to be the one who knows about your friends and foes, and the TV shows you love
Look above the stars spell out your name with an exclamation point
’cause at the end of the day your the one who makes me say

Help me find myself
Like how found you
ooh ooh ooh ooh

I need you so
We can live happily too
ooh ooh ooh ooh

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

Last year, I noticed his talent when I saw his video on YouTube singing Lucky with Cathy Nguyen in the bathroom.

Then, just a while ago, I saw this video of him singing on stage with people cheering for him.

Searched for more of his videos, and found this song, I Just Want You (one of his original compositions). He’s playing a ukelele here.

Then here is a video of Filipino Ivatans from Batanes doing a cover of his song, I Just Want You. This means AJ Rafael’s music is reaching the Philippines.

As of this writing, AJ Rafael is on the #85 Most Subscribed Musician on YouTube.

Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you
to taste past the tip of
your tongue
Leap and the net will appear

I don’t wanna wake before
The dream is over
I’m gonna make it mine
Yes I… I know it
I’m gonna make it mine
Yes I’ll make it all mine

I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it’s lifting you up
Up up and away
And over to a table at
the graditude cafe

And I am finally there
And all the angels they’ll be singing
Ah la la la I la la la I
la la la la love this

Well I don’t wanna break before
The tour is over
I’m gonna make it mine
Yes I…I will own it
I’m gonna make it mine
Yes I’ll make it all mine

And timing’s everything
And this time there’s plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy that
everyone’s emitting

Well I don’t wanna wait no more
Oh, I wanna celebrate the whole world
I’m gonna make it mine
Oh yes I’m following your joy
I’m gonna make it mine
Because I… I am open
I’m gonna make it mine
That’s why… I will show it
I’m gonna make it all mine
gonna make gonna make gonna make it
make it mine
Ohhhhhhh mine
Yes I’ll make it all mine
