part deux of the state fair....

i'm going to take a second and explain the title of this blog to you, whoever you are...


'the one that got away' is *potentially* going to be the name of my project when it comes out (which will hopefully be by late october/early november) i got the idea for the name from one of my dad's friends and at first, i didn't really like it at all. to be honest, i wasn't totally sure if i even wanted to title the album, thought i might just call it, 'jessica lindsey' or something original like that. well, i talked with my producer and he said it is totally normal for people to title and ep...so, i started thinking up some titles and the one that just kept coming back was 'the one that got away'. i couldn't shake it.

so i started thinking about it more....and i fell in love with it for so many reasons.

not to sound proud...but i think it's a great way to look at situations when they don't quite go your way...



take the state fair talent show for example. today was, by far, not my best performance...i got ambitious and walked off stage and into the audience while i was singing...which kinda slipped me up a little...but besides that my vocals were strong. i had really great stage presence...and had a loud cheer from the audience when i was done...and yet, the judges didn't like me...i guess i wasn't their style....i sang 'we belong' by pat benatar...maybe they don't like pat benatar...

WHO DOESN'T LIKE PAT BENATAR THOUGH???


anyways...so back to 'the one that got away' so i think that i have found myself feeling a little like i am the one that "gets" away in a lot of circumstances...maybe it's a good thing...i always learn from every experience. but...well...it's hard to be "let go"....


so...what do you think of it for a title of an album? if the cover had catchy artwork on it...would you buy it?
