1. Juliet Richardson (born 1980, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American singer, known as Juliet, best known for her 2005 album Random Order and hit single “Avalon”. Her recording debut was in 2000 as the singer for 1 Plus 1. Their single “Cherry Bomb” from the Elektra Records album of the same title reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2001, as well as the Top 50 in the Dance chart.
Despite the initial promise of success, Richardson expressed displeasure with the marketing direction for 1 plus 1, and the act was recreated as alternative rock band MNQNN (pronounced “mannequin”). This music, differing greatly from the work of 1 plus 1, prompted Elektra to release them from their recording contract. MNQNN played rock clubs for a couple of years before the band went on an indefinite hiatus in June 2003.
Richardson persuaded Josh Deutsch of Virgin Records to sign her to that record label. She reconnected with Steve Sydelink who had worked in her bands and was the drummer in Madonna’s band.
In 2004, Richardson returned to major label recording, after Sydelink introduced her to record producer Stuart Price (also known as Jacques Lu Cont) under the name ‘Juliet’. The album resulting from this project, Random Order, was released in August 2005; reviews of advance copies have been well received by critics. The advance single, “Avalon”, reached the top 5 on the European Dance chart in May 2005, and number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in March 2005. “Avalon” was popular at the 2005 ‘Miami Winter Music Conference’. The song also reached the Top 30 of the UK Singles Chart in April 2005. She scored a second number one on the U.S. dance chart in August with “Ride the Pain”.
In August 2005, Richardson released her debut album on Virgin Records. Recorded with the help of record producer Stuart Price of Les Rythmes Digitales, Zoot Woman and Madonna’s Confessions On A Dancefloor fame, the album drew comparisons to a young Annie Lennox or Madonna thanks to her coolly emotional delivery with a sultry sexual charge. Richardson collaborated with other producers on the album, Guy Sigsworth on the song “New Shoes” and Jacknife Lee on “Ride the Pain”.
2. Juliet is a 3-unit gyaru group and consists of members Hami, Maiko, Yumi. Their first single is called ナツラブ and it was released on August 5th. Without them ever showing what they looked like their single shot up to #1 on Chaku uta and Reco choku uta with over 500,000 downloads. On October 7th was released a new singe titled [フユラブ]/Winterlove.
3. "Juliet" is a four-piece noisy emo band from Arizona. The band released an EP called "Christmas Island" in February 2011, followed by a split release with "Blackwater" in May.

Waiting
Juliet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe both, would be fitting here
Take away, what remains
What reminds
Just suppose, it was clear
Who we are, what we're doing here?
Take away, what is want
While you hesitate
Hearts like mine will wait
In two
Find a place, find a home
Face to face, why am I afraid?
In this space, not to know
This unknown
What is honest?
Is it greater than this promise?
What is obvious?
Is it greater than this silence?
While you hesitate
Hearts like mine will break
While you hesitate
Hearts like mine will break
In two
In two
"Waiting" by Juliet explores the pain and longing of unrequited love. The opening lines of the song, "Make a wish, say a prayer, maybe both, would be fitting here," imply a sense of desperation as the singer grasps for anything that will bring them closer to the person they desire. They yearn for clarity and understanding, wondering who they truly are and what their purpose is in this situation.
Throughout the song, the singer underlines the importance of simplicity, urging the object of their affection to strip away the extraneous and focus on what really matters. They plead, "Take away, what is want, what is need" and express a desire to eliminate anything that might stand in the way of their love.
Despite the uncertainty and fear that pervades the lyrics, the singer remains steadfast in their longing. They vow to wait, no matter how long it takes, confident that their heart is true. Ultimately, however, the repeated refrain - "while you hesitate, hearts like mine will break" - underscores the pain that comes from loving someone who cannot or will not love you back.
