Forgotten memories of laughter and war

Thursday music cornerJuliana Hatfield (b. Maine, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter who first came to prominence in the late 1980s in Boston band Blake Babies. In the early 1990s she was a member of Evan Dando's Lemonheads, appearing on their successful albums It's A Shame About Ray (1992) and Come On Feel The Lemonheads (1993). 

After releasing her solo debut album Hey Babe in 1992, her second album Become What You Are, released the following year as the Juliana Hatfield Three, became a major indie crossover success, spawning the hit single My Sister, which topped the US Alternative chart. Since then she has released albums for a range of labels. In 2023 Hatfield released her twentieth solo album, Juliana Hatfield Sings ELO, a follow-up to similar covers albums she has recorded for Olivia Newton-John (2018) and The Police (2019).

Sunshine is a breezy, 1960s-influenced pop song that appeared on Hatfield's sixth solo album In Exile Deo, released in 2004.
