About Me

Never afraid to wrestle her personal demons into songs, Juliana Hatfield has carved out an impressive musical career with her brand of self analysis. From her work with indie darlings the Blake Babies and her critically acclaimed solo albums (beginning with 1992’s Hey Babe), to the recent Some Girls side project, 2004's critically lauded In Exile Deo, and several releases on her own Ye Olde Records label, Hatfield has won fans with songs that blend bright, infectious melodies with lyrics drawn from life’s chaos and confusion.

HOTELS

"Hotels" isn't really a song about hotels. It is a sonic longing for "home." Not necessarily for a physical place, but for the feeling of belonging, safety, assuredness, comfort. Sometimes, betwee...

SUNSHINE

At some point in my early thirties (around the time of my father's death in 2001) I kind of all of a sudden realized that I had been completely miserable all through my twenties. Even before that, sin...

MABEL

If you want to understand what I was thinking when I wrote "Mabel" you have to watch a movie called "A Woman Under The Influence." I first discovered it when I was in my early twenties and every time...
