A friend lent me this on CD in my first year of uni in 1993. Loved it from the first listen and got a copy. Part of my soundtrack of uni days. Good times.
Takes me back to Boston when I was 22 in ‘92. Bought two copies of this album - one for me and one for my sister. The 90’s were sublime; Juliana has continued to rock consistently since then.
One day I will explain to my 4 year old where she got her name from, and I will probably put either this song on or You Don’t Give Up by Blake Babies. Music was a bridge over the abyss of teenage angst, loneliness and disillusionment and Juliana Hatfield in particular was a regular in my headphones. Every now and again I swing back around to her catalog and admire how instantly accessible her songs are, but the intricacies that lie under the surface with continued listening. I’m not sure I ever read a write-up praising Juliana’s compositional and arrangement choices, but she deserves that credit. Anyway, I hope that in the bear future, once traveling and concerts become worry-free that my daughter and I can catch her at a show and I can introduce them to each other, that would be just very incredible. Especially as a father who wants to teach his daughter about the power she has, I’d like her to meet another smart, talented and successful woman so she knows that anything and everything is possible.
I remember watching 120 minutes on MTV & this video came on. I bought Hey Babe on cassette & was hooked. 15 year old me was in heaven. Still great all these years later.
Totally infectious pop heaven! This is one of my favorite songs; love it when it comes up on my iPod! She's such a talented guitarist. (Evan Dando's no slouch, either!) Thanks, Juliana!
Abril we all need to band together to tell at least two new people about her music and hopefully purchase her new record Juliana sings The Police. I bought it on vinyl and cassette
If there isn't a grainy shot of power lines shot from the window of a moving car, is it even really an early 90s alternative video? I say "neigh" Fortunately this one has that shot.
The premise of the song would make a good teen rom-com; rich, hot chick who's the most popular girl in school, obsessively crushing on the snarky loaner guy, the one straight dude in school who DOESN'T want to fuck her. He isn't secretly attracted to her but dismissing her as unobtainable or too scared to approach her either, nor does he even hate her- she simply doesn't garner the slightest interest from him one way or another. Pining after a boy who doesn't see her, not because she's unpretty or uncool, pretty and cool just doesn't have any interest for him, and she can't figure it out. Will she get him in the end? Or realize that her longing for the one person who doesn't want her is just a manifestation of her buried self-hatred? Give up on him, then meet a basic bro whose a little more soulful than he seems, and live sort-of happyish ever after?

Oh God I was 24 when this came out. I'm still in love with the beautiful, genius of a woman. Thanks for the upload. 90s were awesome. Peace.

Was that in reference to the Hatfields and McCoys?
Phenomenal, A Goddess, her music played the soundtrack in my life for the past 30 years :-)
This takes me all the back to the 19-year-old I was back in 1992...good times.
I like this song very much. Juliana is great. Very much underrated. Thanks for uploading.

Everybody loves You Juliana!!!
The song that made me a lifetime fan. Hey babe is absolutely a stunner of a record. Her other records after that are just as fantastic as well.
Juliana your music is amazing, thanks for it!!!

finally a high quality version of this great video! juliana is the bestest!
Flashes me to the first time I heard her. Love this solo debut album like a close friend.
Man, I love this song. Fun to play on the guitar, too
Boston music scene was fantastic back in the late 80s early 90s. Dinosaur Jr. Lemonheads. Julianna. Buffalo Tom. Big Dipper. Etc
Agreed. Pixies, Bosstones, Swirlies, Morphine, Tribe, Letters to Cleo, Throwing Muses, Galaxy 500, Drop Nineteens, Helium, Bullet LaVolta, and of course Blake Babies.
Takes me back… hard to believe that was 30+ years ago.
If there isn't a grainy shot of power lines shot from the window of a moving car, is it even really an early 90s alternative video?
I say "neigh"
Fortunately this one has that shot.
Just saw her open with this in Pioneertown. Her 90s stuff is the BEST! Hatfield Three!
Such a cool song. 1992...First thought that came to my head was the car I drove back then...before I discovered you. Shortly after that I did.
Love this woman.
A pop classic! Love it!
80'S MUSIC RULES!! BUT THE EARLY 90"S WEREN"T BAD!! the dj
GREAT STUFF.. I LOVE YOU JULIANA !!!
What a great pop song!!
I feel like it's 1am and I'm watching 120 Minutes

ahhh my 90´s
She's so cool! ❤
Suddenly, I'm back in my first pair of Doc Martens with streaks of blue food colouring in my hair, going to everyone's Bat Mitzvah. Love this.
lajillycat you should write a book
Jules sure knows how to write a hook! 🎸
Jouliana Hatfield is my favorite girl of all, period...
Pop perfection.

Glad she and Evan made up - eventually.
