What’s true love? Okay, scratch that. What’s love, anyway? Twenty five years of living and I still haven’t got a clue about what is this thing called love. How do we know when we fall in love, when we feel the love? How do we? How can we? Have you ever felt, something like, when you meet someone, and you just feel it in all of a sudden, out of nowhere, that the person would somehow be a part of your life? Well, I have. Is it love? Can we call it love? I don’t know. All I know is that the feeling is true. Okay, this babbling actually leads to today’s song for Male Special Part 2: Ways of Being A Man. It’s titled “True”, performed by Ryan Cabrera. Apparently, not only a girl, like me, who can feel insecurities regarding to feelings, but also a man like Cabrera. Yet, at some point, people find willingness in the insecurities; and I personally think that it’s important for a man to be able to see that. Everything takes courage.
“I won’t talk, I won’t breathe, I
won’t move till you finally see that you belong with me. You might think I
don’t look, but deep inside in the corner of my mind, I’m attached to you. I’m
weak, it’s true, ‘cause I’m afraid to know the answer. Do you want me too? ‘Cause
my heart keeps falling faster.” –Ryan Cabrera, True
“True” was released on
November 16th 2004. It was served as the second single released from Ryan
Cabrera’s debut major-label studio album, “Take It All Away”. The pop acoustic
track was written by the American singer-songwriter himself, along with Jimmy
Harry and Shep Solomon.

In the lyrics of “True”, Cabrera is wondering whether the girl he’s attracted to is feeling the same way about him. Do you remember the feeling when we got infatuated with someone in the first place? We were paralyzed, breathless; they called it lovesick. Unknowingly, we keep falling. And everyone is weak before their own feelings. “I won’t talk, I won’t breathe, I won’t move till you finally see that you belong with me. You might think I don’t look, but deep inside in the corner of my mind, I’m attached to you. I’m weak, it’s true, ‘cause I’m afraid to know the answer. Do you want me too? ‘Cause my heart keeps falling faster.” However, with the fluttering heart comes the fear. There are too many words left unsaid and questions left unanswered. “You don’t know what you do, everytime you walk into the room, I’m afraid to move. I’m weak, it’s true. I’m just scared to know the ending. Do you see me too? Do you even know you met me?”
I’ve mentioned above about the
feeling when you meet someone, and you just feel it in all of a sudden, out of
nowhere, that the person would somehow be a part of your life. You got
infatuated. You’re feeling insecure, yet you’re willing to do anything to be
with that person. Because at some point, though you cannot explain why you feel
that way or what to call that kind of feeling, you know that the feeling is
true. “I’ve waited all my life to cross
this line, to the only thing that’s true. So I will not hide, it’s time to try
anything to be with you. All my life I’ve waited, this is true.” For all
people have the eagerness to see everything through, you know you ought to try.
“I know when I go I’ll be on my way to
you, the way that’s true.” Everything takes courage, even the most
inexplicable feeling they called love. Be brave, cross the line, do not hide,
try; that’s what a gentleman does. Well, write a song like this if you’re able
to do it. It’s heartwarming.
I was first listening to
this song when I was a teenager, and falling for it since the first time.
Cabrera’s soft voice, the acoustic guitar sweet melody; this song is just
addictive as drugs! “True” is a masterpiece, perhaps a one-hit wonder by
Cabrera, but it’s surely everlasting.
“I’ve waited all my life to cross
this line, to the only thing that’s true. So I will not hide, it’s time to try
anything to be with you. All my life I’ve waited, this is true.” –Ryan
Cabrera, True
“I won’t talk, I won’t
breathe, I won’t move till you finally see that you belong with me
You might think I don’t
look, but deep inside in the corner of my mind, I’m attached to you
I’m weak, it’s true, ‘cause
I’m afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too? ‘Cause my
heart keeps falling faster
I’ve waited all my life to
cross this line, to the only thing that’s true
So I will not hide, it’s
time to try anything to be with you
All my life I’ve waited,
this is true
You don’t know what you do,
everytime you walk into the room, I’m afraid to move
I’m weak, it’s true, I’m
just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too? Do you
even know you met me?
I know when I go I’ll be on
my way to you, the way that’s true”
