[edit] Musical career
Since the age of 16, Sitti has been performing gigs at the Hyatt Calesa Bar and others. Although it was her dream to be a TV host, she is now one of the Philippines' newest singers. In 2004, MTV Philippines started "MTV Supahstar: D' Super Search", where Sitti was one of the winners. She also appeared in the group's music videos, showcasing her talents. It led to her recording contract.
Her debut album, Café Bossa, was released in 2006. Four songs have been released': "Tattooed On My Mind", a remake of the D'Sound hit; "Hey Look At The Sun", "I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love", and "Para Sa Akin". She is also known for her version of "One Note Samba", originally performed by bossa nova queen Astrud Gilberto, whom Sitti idolizes. A live album, Sitti Live!, was released in late 2006, and Café Bossa was re-released with a VCD in 2007.
Sitti collaborated with Club Myx to release Sitti in the Mix - The Dense Modesto Remixes, a collection of songs from Café Bossa that were made into dance-electronica songs with the help of DJ Dense Modesto, in mid-2007, before the release of her second album My Bossa Nova, which focuses on more recent songs. My Bossa Nova was re-released in mid 2008 with a VCD of Sitti Live! 2 called My Bossa Nova Live! and is now a certified Platinum album at the moment.
In the third quarter of 2008, Sitti released her first Christmas album, Ngayong Pasko. Unlike her past albums, this album is purely a cover versions album with only one original song, the carrier single and title of the album, Ngayong Pasko. This album also has reached the Gold status in less than a month after its release.
Sitti has also collaborated with Asia's Pop Idol and Romantic Balladeer, Christian Bautista for his album Captured for a duet of the song of the same title. They once again collaborated for Sitti's Christmas album for the song "Baby It's Cold Outside".
Invisible War
Sitti Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strained manoeuvres, keeping silent score
In this invisible war
Every day I seem to lose you more
Both wishing it was like before
In this invisible war
Talk about a fine line between love and hate
Talk about a fine line between lovers and friends
We've never been lovers and now we're not even friends
In this invisible war, seems we're waging an invisible war
Every day I seem to lose you more
In this invisible war It wounded deeply the scar is here to stay
Opening up at all the little things I do and say
You always want things to be as before
So I make you angry and you bleed a little more In this invisible war, seems that we're waging an invisible war
Every day I seem to lose you more
In this invisible war Want to go away (I still love you)
Got to go away (I always love you)
Got to be away (Time heals all wounds)
The lyrics of Invisible War by Sitti Navarro highlight a relationship that seems to be falling apart due to an invisible conflict. The war they are fighting is hidden, but the damage it inflicts is real. The song depicts a situation where two people who were once close and shared everything are now more distant than ever before. They appear to be fighting with each other without saying a word, keeping silent score on who has lost more. The singer talks about how every day she loses the person she loves a little more, and that even though they both wish for their relationship to be like before, it's becoming increasingly difficult.
The lyrics also explore the thin line between love and hate. This relationship has lost more than just direction, and the line between lovers and friends is blurred. The once inseparable couple are now not even friends, and the invisible war has wounded them deeply, leaving scars that will remain. The singer opens up, trying to make things better, but in the end, it only seems to create more conflict, and the person she loves bleeds a little more. The song concludes with the singer wanting to go away, but still loving the person and hoping that time will heal all wounds.
