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.
Jessies Song
My Getaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your hands in my sweater, it's cold outside, it's cold outside. Baby, put your hands in my sweater, it's cold outside, it's cold outside.
So strike a match, I'll light your fire. Are you warm enough? I need to know. And if you get out of control, I'll be the first one there to put you out.
Meet me outside at 8: 55, we'll make it a date so don't be late. I'll rub your arms to keep you warm. It's the longest night of the year, it's the coldest night of the year and I'll keep you warm.
So strike a match, I'll light your fire. Are you warm enough? I need to know. And if you get out of control, I'll be the first one there to put you out
The lyrics to "Jessie's Song" by My Getaway speak of two people who are clearly in love with each other, and are trying to keep each other warm on a cold winter night. The first verse speaks of how he loves it when she blushes, and how he pulls away when she tries to kiss him. The chorus talks about how cold it is outside, and how he invites her to put her hands in his sweater to keep warm. The second verse speaks of how he will be there for her if she ever loses control, and how he will always be looking out for her. The bridge speaks of how they have a date, and how he will rub her arms to keep her warm.

Jessie don't you hide, don't you close your eyes. I love it when you blush, you blush. Don't you love the way that I pull away when you lean in towards my lips. I love the way you kiss.
I want you to look at me, don't shy away. I love it when you blush, and the way you react when I tease you. I also love the way you kiss me and can't resist pulling away before we go too far.
