Feel Me (for Justine) When you cannot be consoled, and there’s a weight inside your bones And no matter how you try, all you think about, are the ways you lost, again You lost again…. When all the beauty that you see, doesn’t mean a thing, as if you’ve gone blind And you’re feeling oh so small, nothing there at all that you can find Can you feel me, I’m right there beside you, across the miles And if you need me, to be the one to tell you, the world can’t live without you The world can’t live without you The world can’t live without you The world can’t live without you Everyone has hidden scars, I’ll light a candle in the dark, for you and me Listening to Spiders from Mars, if all our heroes are gone, can we still be free Everybody plays a part, I wanna see you make your mark Everybody plays a part, I wanna see you make your mark Can you feel me, I’m right there beside you, across the miles And if you need me, to be the one to tell you, the world can’t live without you The world can’t live without you The world can’t live without you The world can’t live without you Can you feel, can you feel, can you feel, me.

“Songs filled with muscle and melody!” - Boston Groupie News

"Channels influences from Tom Petty, The Pretenders, Wilco..." - Exile SH Magazine

"Filled with fuzzy and droning guitars, and has a little bit of a Wilco meets The Velvet Underground sound." - If it's too Loud

Girl with a Hawk is an American band formed in 2021. Fronted by singer/songwriter Linda Viens, the band currently includes Boston musicians Richard Lamphear on keys, Dan Coughlin on guitar, Nancy Delaney on drums, and Daniel Bernfeld on bass. Local rocker and neighbor Lee Harrington supplied bass duties and backing vocals on this recording and release you are about to let rip. Described as “gorgeously emotive indie rock with Americana, garage, and punk roots, the band channels influences such as Tom Petty, The Pretenders, Teenage FanClub, Wilco and the Velvet Underground into a sound all their own: melodic, rich and 100% rock.”

They say life comes at us fast. But it can get taken away even quicker. For Girl with a Hawk, the Boston band led by indie scene veteran Linda S. Viens, the past year has been highlighted by a blur of massive highs and the lowest of lows. It started in December of 2022, when the late Justin Covault asked Girl with a Hawk to join her emerging indie label Red on Red Records, releasing a new single and video for “Same Stars” a few short weeks later. Over the summer, Covault unexpectedly and tragically passed away, while Girl with a Hawk’s second single on the label, “The Romantic,” was enjoying success across the blogs and digital radio, helping to earn a New England Music Awards nomination in the “Rising Stars: Massachusetts” category.

“I can’t say that we have closure yet; as it has only been six months since we lost Justine,” says Viens, “but I would say that the way that the song seems to embody our heartache, and at the same time confirm that our relationship is still a living thing – whether you believe that or not, does bring some comfort. We feel her guiding us, and for me personally, I still feel deeply motivated to make music and to conduct myself in ways that would make her proud. I’m sure the band feels the same way.”
