June 23, 2025 – Manila, Philippines - Initially released in November 2022, December Avenue’s ‘Saksi Ang Langit’ recently gained attention after they performed it at Zeinab Harake and Bobby Ray Parks Jr.’s wedding on June 1, 2025. In a message published online, the band expressed their appreciation to the couple, stating, “Thank you for the trust, for the warmth, and for reminding us all what it means to love. May your bond be a testament to faith—to a love that always chooses to stay, even against all odds.”
A week after the wedding, Zeinab also uploaded a wedding film on YouTube featuring their song, which quickly garnered over ten million views. At the 30-minute mark of the video, ‘Saksi Ang Langit’ played as fireworks lit up the sky, featuring heartwarming wedding highlights. Touching moments such as the couple exchanging vows and dancing to the band’s live performance brought warmth to the newlyweds’ idyllic milestone. Furthermore, this resonated with viewers, driving the viral moment that boosted the song’s streams.
Following its resurgence, it earned a spot on two Spotify charts—peaking at #2 on Viral 50 Philippines and #2 on Top 50 Philippines. The band also placed #3 on Spotify Top Artists Philippines and peaked at #31 on the Viral Top 50 Global chart, marking a major milestone for the group.
Unlike most December Avenue songs that mainly tackle heartbreak, ‘Saksi Ang Langit’ depicts a promising and unwavering love, with the band’s signature cinematic and melodious sound. The official music video originally portrayed it as a heartrending story of a father’s love for his daughter, inspired by drummer Jet Danao’s daughter when he and frontman Zel Bautista wrote the piece. Moreover, after the wedding, the song took on a fresher and more hopeful meaning, reflecting the couple’s commitment to one another.
Not long after the wedding video was posted, Tower of Doom posted a Tower Sessions live performance of ‘Saksi Ang Langit’ on their YouTube channel and is now trending for music at #13 on the streaming platform.
Zeinab Harake and the December Avenue members have further solidified their friendship with this opportunity. Previously, Zeinab attended the exclusive listening party for December Avenue and Morissette’s collaborative track, ‘Ahon’, held on April 22, 2025, at Teatrino Promenade Greenhills.
