My and my husband’s copy of True Faith’s new CD-Stray To Be Found together with some other new released CDs of some Filipino bands arrived on my birthday, September 7 from www.regal.com.

On our way to my birthday dinner in downtown Seattle, we listened to the CDs excitedly.

Stray To Be Found is not a bad CD. After all, it’s been quite some time since the band’s last album.

My favorite songs in the CD which are the band’s original are Sayang Ang Lahat, Dahil Ikaw, and Daydream (Kasalanan Ba?). The lyrics are just so good.

Some of the other songs are some kind of old easy listening songs rendered by the band. And they I must say, did justice reviving these songs. Oh these songs I’m talking about are You’re The Best Thing, Say A Prayer, and of course one of my fave songs in my life, CROSS MY HEART.

That song is almost the sole reason why I’m doing this review. I’m glad that they did that song! I love the song. Even the Evertyhing But The Girl orginal version of it. And I still love it now that True Faith sang to it. It’s sucha romantic song.

That I have to quote and agree to one of my closest friends from work then, Jonathan. He asked me one time what is the sweetest song I’ve heard. And I was like, I think it’s Sting’s When We Danced. And his was EBTG’s CROSS MY HEART. After hearing that, I checked the song immediately and had to just agree with him ‘cause it is indeed one sweet, sweet song. (I even remembered Jon while repeatedly listening to that song in the car on my birthday. There’s nothing special between me and Jon…we’re friends for Christ’s sake but yes, every time I hear CROSS MY HEART, it’s just connoted with Jon’s name!).

Here’s the lyrics and I hope you too will find it one sweet, sweet song…

Now and then
Do you wash your hands of me again?
Wish me anywhere but home
Drunk and on the end of your phone
From time to time
Do you guess what’s really on my mind?
Guess that How you keeping now?
Means Where are you sleeping now
But of course it’s not polite
To ask you where you spent last night
And if I did you might reply
That I have no right
And anyway I’m fine
Glad that you’re no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I’ll cross my heart and hope to die
You’d be appalled
If you knew what I was doing
When you called
Yes, I can see I’m blundering
Always end up wondering
Will it ever be alright
To ask you where you spent last night
And can it be polite
The way we never write,
Of course I don’t have the time,
And anyway I’m fine
If I should tell a lie
I’ll cross my hear and hope to die
I hope we never die
