Juliana Hatfield (born July 27, 1967) is an American musician and singer-songwriter from the Boston area. She was formerly of the indie rock bands Blake Babies and Some Girls and now performs as a solo artist, and as one half of Minor Alps, alongside Matthew Caws of Nada Surf. In December 2014, Paste Magazine named her cover of the "Needle in the Hay", a song by Elliott Smith, as No. 10 one of the "20 Best Cover Songs of 2014."
In 2014 she reformed The Juliana Hatfield Three, announcing the new album Whatever, My Love for 2015. In late December, Stereogum named the album "one of their most anticipated albums of 2015," and on January 4, 2015, Consequence of Sound named it "one of the 50 most anticipated albums of 2015." The band has announced a US tour for February and March in support of the album.
Hatfield was born in Wiscasset, Maine, the daughter of Philip M. Hatfield, a radiologist, and Julie Hatfield, a former Boston Globe features, society, travel writer, and fashion critic who currently works as a freelance travel writer. Hatfield grew up in the Boston suburb of Duxbury. Although well known for the early 1990s hit, "My Sister," Hatfield has two brothers, but no sisters.
Juliana Hatfield is an album of covers by alternative rock artist Juliana Hatfield. The album was released on August 28, 2012, with funding raised by fans through Hatfield's second PledgeMusic drive. 10% of the funding past the goal amount went to IMPACT Boston which offers personal safety and self-defense courses.
The album includes tracks written by a variety of artists, including Creedence Clearwater Revival, Liz Phair, Electric Light Orchestra, Ryan Adams, Led Zeppelin and I Blame Coco.
Live in your dreams
You're shell-shocked when you're not sleeping
Making out with scars in your eyes
In total silence
Nothing to lose
Won't you turn to me
Ohhhh, don't walk away
Oooooh, don't walk away
Your masterpiece
You saw it yesterday on TV
Can you see me mouthing your name?
Praying for the breakdown
When I will know what you really mean
Ohhhh, don't walk away
Oooooh, don't walk away
It could be true
What you do to me
Don't leave. Want to start a fire
Melt that frozen [?????]
Can you hear me mouthing your name
In total silence
Aching to go, I'm so afraid
Ohhhh, don't walk away
Oooooh, don't walk away
Nothing to lose
