Sitti, whose name means princess in the Muslim dialect, is truly worthy of her bossa babe title. Lithe, smart and pretty, Sitti was weaned onto song in the usual Pinoy manner: Goaded by relatives, she'd sing a couple of Whitney Houston torchers at family gatherings. The former corps commander would also join singing contests and was very active in the school choir. After graduating from high school in 2001, her neighbor, pianist and accompanist Romy San Mateo, scouted the young business economics major out, and asked if she wanted to sing at the Stonehouse jazz bar. She has also landed gigs at other lounge spots, such as Kalesa Bar and the Richmond and Makati Shangri-la Hotels, besides hosting events and touring island destinations in the Philippines in Studio23's The Travel Show. Sitti was made to sing bossa nova. Her relaxed singing style and soothing voice lingers above the complex harmonies of the jazz and samba influenced Brazilian genre, effortlessly gelling lyric and music together. Sitti's eyes light up when she talks about music, especially bossa. In 2004, Sitti got another big break, this time as a recording artist for Warner Music Philippines. After hearing a few demos from Sitti, the major label decided to cut her a solo record. In 2005, Sitti found herself recording her debut album, Cafe Bossa. "I want people in my age bracket to be aware about jazz and bossa nova, and that there's more to music besides the standard pop and R&B," shares Sitti. New converts and long time bossa fans alike will not be disappointed by Sitti's debut offering. Cafe Bossa is indeed a cup of chill in 18 choice tracks. It's a must-hear album of laid-back tunes done in the warm sounds of OPM's bossa babe.

Lost In Space
Sitti Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes, I get tired of this mean first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishin' hard for you
Coz your light shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you

[Chorus]
And I'll never lose my faith in you
And I will never get to heaven if I do

It feels just so fine when we touch the sky me and you
This is my, my care of heaven
Why can't it always be so good?
But it's all right I know you're out there
Doing what you gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I'd be lost in space without you

[Chorus]
And I'll never lose my faith in you
And I will never, oh, get to heaven if I do
And I'll never lose my faith in you
And I will never, oh, get to heaven if I do

I'll never lose my faith in you
I'll never lose my faith in you

I'll never lose my faith in you
I'll never lose my faith in you

Overall Meaning

"Lost In Space" is a song that expresses the importance of having someone who brings light into your life. The song begins with the singer expressing that sometimes she gets tired of the harshness of life, but there is someone who keeps her smiling. This person represents a guiding light, one that she wishes for fervently because with that light, she feels a sense of ease and comfort. The "first star at night" is a metaphor for this person, and without them, the singer ultimately feels like she would be lost.

The chorus of the song revolves around the theme of faith. The singer declares that she will never lose her faith in this person, and that if she does, she will never make it to heaven. The line "get to heaven" could be interpreted as an aspiration to reach a state of ultimate contentment, love, and peace; and, so without this person, the singer does not believe she will ever reach that level of happiness.

Lastly, the song acknowledges the fact that although things may not always be perfect, the person is still out there doing what they have to do. The lyrics “I know you’re out there doing what you gotta do” imply that the person is not always present, but they are still very much an important part of the singer's life. They are like a "soul satellite," there even if they are not physically there, and without this person, the singer would feel lost in space.
