Walked into Walgreens today and I love the smell of that place.
Brings me back to being a small child at Hoy's 5 and dime with my Grandparents at the shore. When the gift of a plastic ball fom a big bin of other plastic balls with marbly blue and pink colors on it was heaven.
And what is the 32 year old Jessica's equivalent of a marbly blue and pink plastic ball?
A composition notebook.
Blank lined pages. Big enough to write freely, cheap enough to not edit my thoughts, the right space between the lines - and this one was purple. I thought I'd go for purple for the first time.
I remembered today how important it is to write those 3 pages every morning - not songwriting, just whatever comes out. Not trying to make it sound any certain way. And the composition notebook is just the key to make that happen. Little pretty journals are harder to write in.
This to me is a big key to writing. When you're TRYING to sound poetic, it's not convincing. Practing writing about nothing really gets a nice flow going, so that when I do go into my studio and press record, I'm already all flowy and purged.
And then it's just fun.

Heaven Help the Day - What's this song about?
Listen
Walking down the sidewalk in Carpinteria, CA with Ryan one day we came upon a yard sale. I bought an old copy of War and Peace.
When I got home a letter fell out of it. This guy writing to someone about all his regrets, that he divorced the woman he loved cause he thought he was going to prison, that he regretted that he'd never met his son, that the cancer he had could never hurt him the way he missed her. It was unbelievable, all this pain.
It stayed with me. I wrote about the son, the one that got left, that had nothing to do with what happened.
I know a lot of people who have never met their father, or not till later in life. I have a friend who saw the back of her dad's head once when someone pointed him out to her as they passed in a car. That's all she got.
I got to meet Nick Flynn on tour, and read his book Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. He writes about being a boy and wondering if he'd met his dad but didn't know it. That inspired a lot of the feeling of this tune.
The song is all the feelings of love and anger that go with being left by family. How in the end, there is always a piece of the heart that is theirs, no matter what they do to you.
I have never met my father
They say he left us for another
Her name was Wanda, her name was prison, her name was free
And my name’s lonely, My name’s orphan My name’s please
If you see me walking I look at faces
I wonder if your blood’s in me
You’re just a stranger, a fellow walking down the street
And if you see me, smile gently keep going
Heaven Help the Day you ran from home
Cause I don’t know if I want you home
If I want you back who left me all alone
Yah I don’t know if I want you home
Heaven help the day you come
I’d make you worry, I’d make you want me,
I’d make you sit at home, wonderin’ where I’d gone
Uh huh
I’d make you love me, I’d make you love me then I’d leave you all alone
Heaven help the day you come back home

Big Heart - a song from Crepusculo
Listen
Even before the big loss of last year, the loss of my son, I had a bit of a continual heartache. You can hear it in the music of the past years - the melancholy with sweetness, the sadness always a little present.
I decided one day that my heart was good, with the holes, with the big feelings, with the darks and the lights. With the sadness. The ride it takes me on is important. And I would protect it, and make a safe place for it, trust it and listen to it. (More.)
Sat down at the piano, pushed record, and told my heart, "No one will ever hear this." It's easiest for me to write a song thinking that it's just in this small world of my red-walled studio and my imagination that it will exist, and it can come out safely this way. I can break the rule later.
And I started plunking the piano, felt the arpeggio of the first line come, it felt real, and I could sing it again and again and like it.
Recording the piano for Big Heart from Crepusculo on the old and singular piano at Type Foundry in Portland, you could hear the hammers and strings, the creaks of the pedal. And getting into the space of dearness, singing to my heart, is nothing but helpful, strengthening, and scary all at once.
We decided to keep it sparse, keep the drums with space between and making an impact. Tad contributed the guitars from his studio in Santa Barbara, a strong solo, and perfect support for the choruses. And we let it build up strong at the end to the declaration of "This is your song", a big celebration, a letting go, and then, a quiet thank you at the end.
Lyrics:
To my big big big big heart
Oh my love
I will listen
Beautiful heart
Oh my big big big big heart
You love so hard,
Let me clip the wires off
You will bleed
Chorus
I will build you a house
Made of earth, of my bone
It will be black as love
It will be a gracious womb
Oh my dear dear dear dear heart
Steady in me
Making me me
I thought it was too much
And I’ll hold you here my heart
Velvet dark drum
Lean against your soft thrum
Making waves through me
Chorus
I will build you a house
Made of earth, of my bone
It will be black as love
It will be a gracious womb
Throw your arms up, this is for you,
Throw your arms up it's your song...
To my big big big big heart
Marching soldier
Blessed Mother
Big strong love

Up at 3:30am
I never do this. Laying in bed, I'm thinking about the release of Crepusculo, my latest album, this summer. We're planning a tour from LA to Seattle and I'm lying half awake with weird surveys I'm taking in my dreams, and names of friends in these cities circling my brain, and I think, should I spend this hour laying here frustrated or get up and send some emails? It feels good to just scratch the itch. I can nap tomorrow.
Except that when you get up in the middle of the night, when your eyes have been closed and look at the computer screen, it's impossibly bright. I had to half cover my eyes for five minutes! The computer is so full of fake light, how can we look at it all day?
In my half-awake state, I start thinking about sending this record to be reviewed, a process that's part rewarding, ego-boosting and part high-school, "am I popular?" - feeling. I remember one review from the Portland Mercury where the guy spent 2 paragraphs talking about how there were birds on the cover of my album and birds were SO last year. Then he spent a couple sentences writing about the music, and how it was pretty good.
At the same time, I've never felt more like I don't need to read the reviews. I love these songs, I love the artwork, I like my life, I get to play music, isn't this great? I get to play music!
So hopefully bitter Jess will stay home when we play this tour, and happy Jess will be present as we open the paper, sitting at a pizza joint an hour before we play a show and read through local reviews, I hope I remember how good I have it, and let it be fun to read what these people I've never met have written about what I wrote. I hope I remember happy hours at my baby grand, with the window open, listening to the mockingbird outside as I play away...

Albums in the Factory
We sent my new album, Crepusculo, to the factory to be pressed, printed, minted and made into reality.
The artwork is beautiful, the music crisp and full of heart.
I'm starting to book shows from LA to Seattle! We'll be heading up late July, early August, and sending info as soon as we get it so you can mark the calendars. Playing with some great bands in these towns, so excited to be traveling again and coming to your town!
Last night I went to see Garrett Pierce at Ravenous in Healdsburg, CA. Living an hour from San Francisco, it's awesome when someone great heads to the northbay and we get to see a great show in our own neighborhood. He sang lovely, sad but rockin melodies with great voice, great band. Check him out. His new album, All Masks, is awesome.

Interview with Angela Correa by Petracovich
Correatown (Angela Correa) of Los Angeles – I was melted and inspired by her velvet voice, her heart-filled old-fashioned songs, her craft with making songs and making the room silent the first time I saw her sing at the Mercury Lounge in Santa Barbara, CA. Over the years we played some shows together, I slept on her couch a couple times, and walked to breakfast together afterwards in Echo Park. She’s a great person who makes you laugh and a wonderful songwriter. Her latest album, Spark. Burn. Fade, will be coming out in June. Get her albums at angelacorrea.com, and listen at MYSPACE

(A=Angela J=Jessica (Petracovich)
J What happens if you're NOT writing music?
A well, i feel really pent up inside almost like i have some sort of whirlwind and need to find a release valve but lately, words have been hard to find and melodies and music have been easier to connect with
J ya, that happens to me too, and it's nice to let the words stay away if they're not there, and just be with the tunes. Can you go into the music more then?
A yeah, exactly... i feel like when one aspect of songwriting feels a little stifled the other compensates so i've started trying to capture the melodies/// and then go back and work lyrics and song ideas
J I think my songs come out best that way. Are you ever able to have an idea for the subject of a song and then tell the story? I have a hard time with that, almost like my subconscious has to do all the words
A me too... forcing it doesn't bring about songs that are meaningful in the long term (to me at least) almost as if i am giving myself a creative writing assignment
J your storytelling is so great
A thanks... i think i like to try and recreate a place or a feeling and give all the details
J Do you have a storytelling type song you wrote that is particularly close to your heart?
A well... i think saint dinan is one of the more poignant story songs, i think THAT whole album for me (the Correatown) was my most storytelling album
J That's the one I was thinking of too! I LOOOVEE that song
A i always remember how fun it was to sing it together at the church in SB
THAT was such a lovely show... one of my favorites ever i think
J That was so beautiful. You made it sparkle! So glad to be in one of your favorite shows!
When did you start singing?
A i've always sang... since i was little. My mom always sang in the car and she taught me how to harmonize because she always sang the harmony to songs so i picked it up really naturally from her. I used to sing in youth groups and in church as a kid too...
J You have a remarkable mixture of sounding open and raw and yet always right on key, and your harmonies are tear-pulling too.
A well, i've really been learning in the past 6 years how to use my voice
in different ways, but using my voice I've learned how to express different things,
how to sing quietly or to use my vibrato and I've actually in the past two years really opened up my voice a lot more
J has it grown from you pretty naturally or did you think about it while listening to recordings of yoruself and say, I think I'd like to change ____?
A I think its grown from experiences. I used to sing in the lower register a lot and hardly ever hit it or belt it out/// but now I like to play with the dynamics of my voice within a song. I think some of your songwriting was an influence on me as well. When i first heard your blue cotton skin album, i loved the way you elongated words in your phrases
J wow, that's so cool! a huge compliment
A and i think very unconsciously i wrote that into some songs/// or "tried it on for size" and then tailored it to suit my writing. I think that's such a fun way to write. Because we like certain aspects of someone's song for a reason, and it can help us find new paths with our own creations...
J yeah i think that's true, it's good to find inspiration from others and then make it feel natural and true for yourself in your own writing
There are some amazing cord progressions in chopin, i'm gonna figure them out and see why I love them, if I can use them
A lately i've been trying to write songs that are more obscure in form, that sort of thing/// like a song that i feel really connected to, i try to figure out WHAT about that song is speaking to me or what is special
or find a way to integrate it into your writing. i'm hoping to write more songs that have fewer lyrics. a bit more instrumental and dreamy. And less structured in a typical way... i feel like that's a good place for me to reach to
J yah, simmer it down, that would be fun, you're good at dreamy.
You have a great presence to you, when you're singing, you bring a texture to the room, velvety and flowing
A yeah, i feel like i have come full circle the past couple years...at being at ease with being the singer-songwriter in the room
J when was it hardest for you to be that person?
A i think for so long it was just me and my guitar and it was a really intense performance, really personal and i felt very much inside the music as i was singing it and then i started to feel exposed. ( i think i was dealing with some personal issues... depression, weight, confidence... you name it) and it became really hard to BE that person playing, so exposed so i gravitated towards having a band to be sort of inside a big sound and not the only one onstage, not have it be about me... but truthfully... it's always gonna be my songs and my voice singing and my something to share
J what are you doing now onstage?
A well, i have a band now that i play with... and changed to performing as Correatown rather than Angela Correa
J I love that name, a place we can all come home to --- that's so perfect
A yeah// i liked it too... sort of a pun and sort of personal. A BUT in the past few months, i've really figured out that i want to discover a middle ground
J so do you play some tunes alone, some with the band?
yeah, thats exactly how i do it now.. play some solo shows, and some full band shows... and i;ve started playing a couple solo songs duringthe set
and NOW i'm going to start towards arranging songs in such a way that they serve the song
J for both recording and performing?
A yep for both...
J what have you been changing or noticing?
A well, dynamics. When i play solo i always really messw ith the dynamics of a song//// big here and quiet there and building or just stopping. it was not something i knew how to articulate and develop with a band
and so now i am putting more thought into ensuring that every song arrangement has very subtle or specific dynamics that are more reflective of those subtleties and nuances that i put into the songwriting
J you're good at weaving the audience in with your playing that way, with you and your guitar, it does take a lot of deliberate planning with a band.
A yeah, i was in a place initially where i was like "let's just rock" and full steam ahead
but not anymore... i moved to the term "soft rock" and now i'm where i should be at "let's arrange these damn songs for my folk storytelling" haha
J - Who's in your band?
well, there's Rob Poynter on drums (also my boyfriend- very handy)
and Raymond Richards on guitar (he co-produced my latest album with me)
and Mike Corwin on bass (a very talented musician in many bands)
J Where are your favorite places to play?
my favorite places to play...
i love spaceland and the echo
i also love the art spaces on the Eastside... like Pehrspace and Echo Curio
i like places where you can do what you like with a set and not freak out about draw
J what do you love about LA?
A I love the diversity. i love how varied everything is and how small my little community is here on the Eastside. i ride my bike a lot and see familiar faces a lot and it's nice because for the past couple years, working for myself, i stay inside by myself a lot- and it's nice to make connections like you would if you had a job somewhere
J It's great for people to know that there's more to LA than the big fakeyness and traffic, I've loved visiting your neighborhood and seeing goats and chickens!
A it's almost too easy to spend the whole day "inside your head" - so my neighborhood keeps me connected/grounded/happy
J What's your happiest vision of yourself in 5 years?
hmmmm... i would like to be songwriting furiously and performing out on the road... and also have a great support team to manage the small stuff- so i could focus on the creative stuff
J I think it will happen.
A i would also like to be more grounded and at peace with my life... i spend too much time worrying about "what if..." and "when will..." i hope to change those aspects of myself and be more present, daily
J yah, that's a good goal. So I'll help you, Right now, you're a musician who writes wonderful songs, a singer, and you give beauty to people, something we need more and more of , and right now, you're doing your job, right where you should be, it's all coming together perfectly!
A thanks Jess... i'll make that my mantra that i say each morning, i've been seeing a hypno therapist actually. it's easier to help each other with that stuff than to do it all on our own.. to help me actualize my goals and work towards that!
J hypno therapy works! I got through my labor with that.
A i've gone a bout four times and i feel like it has made a positive difference
Those subconscious beliefs are nice to direct into positive ways.
J anything else you want to leave with?
A thank you
J Thank you!
Angela Correa

J yah, that's a good goal. So I'll help you, Right now, you're a musician who writes wonderful songs, a singer, and you give beauty to people, something we need more and more of , and right now, you're doing your job, right where you should be, it's all coming together perfectly!
A thanks Jess... i'll make that my mantra that i say each morning, i've been seeing a hypno therapist actually. it's easier to help each other with that stuff than to do it all on our own.. to help me actualize my goals and work towards that!
J hypno therapy works! I got through my labor with that.
A i've gone a bout four times and i feel like it has made a positive difference
Those subconscious beliefs are nice to direct into positive ways.
J anything else you want to leave with?
A thank you
J Thank you!
