hmm, awesome but it says DJCD, I hope that doesn't have anything to do with the choice of songs.

it'd be nice if Home was the third single although I love Heroes & Thieves

I ordered this!  :razz:
This might mean "Home" will be the 3rd single.
I wouldn't want it too though cause it's my fav' song on the album and it's not very single-ish.

lol I love how people are like, "Home is my favorite song on the record but I don't think it'll make a good single!"

That doesn't make any sense. It's people favorite song because um, it's a good fucking song, and everytime I pop that CD in my car everyone's always telling me to skip to "Home". I think the fact that it's an awesome fucking song that nearly everyone takes too completely negates the fact that people doubt if it'll work as a single.
It's different from all the shit we're hearing on the radio now, it's fresh, people will take to it - more so than they will take to Hands On Me I think. Home just needs the right tie ins - getting featured in a movie, etc.

Couldn't agree more. Home is just perfect. I think people will love it.

I completely understand why people would say that, though. It IS a great song, but it's not radio friendly. You need to listen to it a few times to fully understand it and fall in love with it. There's no catchy chorus for a first time listener to get hooked on.

It's my favourite track on the album, but for the sake of Vanessa's prolonged career, i'd have to say it would make a poor single.

Huh. I find the chorus to be particularly memorable. I think it's as catchy as a ballad can get. My only complaint with the entire song is that I think there should be one more chorus at the end, but hey. lol It's still good. It kind of makes me think of "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado, it's an amazing song and all but the chorus only plays twice, then goes into a bridge, verse and ends. THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER CHORUS. lol Like, you're expecting it and it doesn't happen. Anyways.

The reason I think "Home" wouldn't be the best single is because the song feels really personal.
I am in love with the song like crazy and there's a part of me that doesn't want it to be shared with the general audience, like I feel they don't deserve to hear it without getting the album. I know it's a weird concept but that's my explaination.
I think "Spring Street" is very radio-friendly and would make a good third single IMO.

I think fans naturally feel that for artists that they love. We want them to be successful and sell a lot of albums, but at the same time, we don't want everyone jumping on and off the bandwagon.

When it comes time to release a major release reps and promotion teams get together and choose 'stand out' songs with the artist and it's management.  If the albums a hit, these songs will most likely be the singles......tons of indie bands advertise the three strongest tracks on the album for the sole purpose of...you never know if your album will take off or not!  I think every song on this record is amazing and has 'single' quality but it's not always up to the artist alone...especially when theres a label involved..it's the artist and then-the label.  

I'm just glad she's getting a second single this time round'! ;)
