The band is entirely run by the members themselves. They created their own website (graphics, designs and everything else), designed every article of merchandize, promoted their hearts out (the band has been featured on www.emotionalpunk.com, www.absolutepunk.net, www.frequencyreviews.com, received a contract to be on the Drive-Thru Records/ Purevolume unsigned bands compilation and a feature article in the Daytona Beach News-Journal- to name a few), and is now starting to draw in larger crowds in their central Florida venues (House of Blues, The Social, Backbooth) one show at a time. Their live show has been said to be an excellent display of raw emotion, bursting with enthusiasm.
The band recorded a demo in the fall of 2004, which featured six songs; they have been demoing songs ever since and now have well over 25 songs recorded under their belt. Their plays on purevolume have hit
the 85,000 mark – an incredible feat for a band that has not been signed to any record label, nor received any professional promotion of any sort. The band plans to keep the demos coming, recording on
average six a month. They have also begun to record other local acts in their makeshift "bedroom studio" just to stay sharp.
My Getaway's rock machine has just gotten started. They plan to contine the barrage of demos and continue to wreak havoc on the Florida countryside, playing one show at a time.
I'd Hate To Forget
My Getaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't see anything
but a broken and shattered heart in these lyrics. The person singing feels like they are barely holding it together, like every breath is painful. The words they hear from others are hollow and meaningless, unable to bring any solace or comfort. The idea of goodbye is something that they can't bear to face, instead they cling to the sound of their own voice, a reminder of a connection they once had with someone else.
Despite this attempt at finding comfort in their own voice, there is still a deep sense of frustration and helplessness. The person singing longs to see the face of the one they love, but that image is denied them. Their heart aches for the right words to say, but they can't seem to find them. It's a moment of intense emotional turmoil, and the lyrics are a snapshot of that pain.
Overall, "I'd Hate to Forget" by My Getaway is a song that speaks to a very specific kind of heartbreak, the kind where nothing seems to make sense and all comfort is denied.

Broken down, hurts to breath.
I can't see anything and it's painful to even breathe.
words I hear don't mean a thing.
The words being spoken to me hold no value or significance.
forget goodbyes, your heart beats to the sound of my voice.
Let's not bother with formal farewells, your heart only responds to my words.
and I hate that I can't see your face or find the words to say.
The frustration of not being able to see you or express my emotions properly is eating away at me.

[Verse 1]
I fell straight
Into your arms
Like a drunk
Who's been on it
All morning
And the sun's up
And my head's fucked
And immediately I grab you
You go all red
Like the first time
I love it when you do that
God, I love it when you do that
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends all hated it
[Chorus]
But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down
[Verse 2]
I cocoon
'Round your shoulders
When you're half-cut
And you're frozen
And you've got that visible breathing
You're depending on me again
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends all hated it
[Chorus]
But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down
But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down
[Bridge]
And if you wanna shut down and pose as positive and
Hide smoking from relatives and
Rest on me
Honey, that's alright
And if you wanna act more drunk than usual
To help you get away with more then
Rest on me
Honey, that's alright
Honey, that's alright
(I cocoon
'Round your shoulders
When you’re half-cut
And you’re half-cut)
[Chorus]
Fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down
[Outro]
I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends all hated it

I always find sick bands and then I dig into some of their older stuff and realize that they were in a Fifa game awhile ago. The guys at EA have a good taste in music, that's for sure!
