Universal Heartbeat - Juliana Hatfield

At age 14 I had the worlds hugest crush on Juliana Hatfield. I was a solid rock and roll boy in a pop and country world and here was a girl who rocked harder than I ever could and had the same love for a hook that I would. I was in love. I went through her entire catalogue and back to her days with the Blake Babies, where her gorgeous boy /girl harmonies with John Strohm set songs on fire, but my first dip into the water was her 1995 track Universal Heartbeat. The song and the album that spawned it Only Everything were both bonafied hits with the single reaching number five on the Billboard modern rock charts. With a rock solid beat, tasty hooks and angelic girl rock voice the song still sounds fresh today.

(Hatfield)
Beauty can be sad. You're proof of that.
When the damage is done, you're damaged goods.
That's not to say it's not okay.
I wouldn't have it any other way.


A heart, a heart that hurts,
is a heart, a heart that works.
A heart, a heart that hurts,
is a heart, a heart that works.


Sweet. sweet pain comes with the sun.
Lie down and soak it up, Burn off layers of insulators.
Exposed nose to the cold,
I'm bleeding pretty colors,yeah, all over myself.


A heart, a heart that hurts,
is a heart, a heart that works.
A heart, a heart that hurts,
is a heart, a heart that works.


Black wave comes to take me away.
I ride it almost to the grave.
Landing on a crowded shore, high-fiving.
What a trip I'm better for it.
I feel a live sensation.


A heart, a heart that hurts,
is a heart, a heart that works (repeat 6 times)
