the sundays summertime

[MsMARIEROSE2]

I will never know another singer such as her!!

[miteeoak]

Harriet Wheeler, how i love your voice.

[olikat8]

My 4 year old LOVES this- she'll sometimes sing "Its you and me in the Sumertime,daddy," just out of the blue. Sometimes even in russian, 'cause Katya is Katya.

[xanfus]

chinese looking girlfriend with big brown eyes

[AK2927]

Most Sadly Missed.  xx

[tekkaman42]

I literally grew up with this band, and this song makes me weep for my lost childhood.

[thejam216]

i love how all the comments are saying only good things. Evidence of how lovely their music really is :D

[gnortznitz]

Live from the produce section at Safeway.

[cheeverdog]

@gnortznitz thats funnier than hell. good 1

[chiefredbottom]

This is easily my favorite band!!!! Sad that they don't tour anymore, but very good for them that they're raising a family now.

[OneTruFu]

Gorgeous little thing that she is :) Sings like an Angel with a voice that could go toe to toe with Aretha Franklin

[plynth2]

@OneTruFu Aretha???? Sorry......no.

[joeyallen2108]

Such a travesty that they've faded away!!! Easily one of my most favorite bands... Her voice is angelic!

[odsall]

Top band and top people, remember asking David if he could sign my T Shirt in the bar after a gig in Manchester just as he was about too Harriet came over with a sundays T Shirt telling him to sign that instead, and that he shouldnt knacker up my new t shirt!!!Really nice people, with great tunes, shocked that its been 13yrs since there last album!!!Oh to be a student again!!!!

[crv110]

She's always been the cutest little thing. Look up some of their old stuff.....

[actionjackson888]

I always had a crush on her. pretty, and a voice that even if she was yelling at me about the dishes, I would smile.

[shanie119]

She looks sexy 4 sue!

[witchman1]

This song always makes me fall in love with my wife..again. Thanks.

[inspiralroses]

I don't like mondays, excepted they're Happy Mondays. Otherwise, I prefer the Sundays!!!

[ytcarol]

I like that the camera dwells on each of the players -- usually it just focuses on Harriet, which is great, but they all are a part of the super sound of the band. How great to be that close as an audience.

[sactiger]

OMG... I have a big-time crush on her... *sigh*

[HowDareThey1970]

Wow, I recently rediscovered these guys hearing "Here's where the story ends" in a store over their radio... however it wasn't till now looking at this vid that I realized it was these guys-- I didn't know them by looks or name, but I do remember this song from the 1990s, playing the radio at work. It isn't till you hear a song again after years that you even remember you knew it, much less how much you miss it, or miss the entire era of music.

[MOSSUPTHEHERO]

I paid 15 quid for the CD album with this song on it, before most youtubers were born!

[TheChemi]

@MOSSUPTHEHERO  lol awesome did you ever think back then thar you would be watching them on the computer life is crazy is'nt it ;)

[MOSSUPTHEHERO]

@TheChemi sure. But the cool thing is those of us in our late twenties to early forties grew up with parents who were afraid of new technology, which has made our generations more determined to embrace advances. Even so, I knew what a modem was for as far back as 1984 but did not seriously start using the internet until the late 90s... Youtube is such a valuable resource for classic songs. Torrent sites are too. Great music is allowed to live on

[TheChemi]

@MOSSUPTHEHERO lol awesome did you ever think that you would be watching them on here like this

[ghaand1994]

The background is sooooo 90s. Why now we don't have this fucking great style? :<

[ftsjr]

Unfortunately, this is another one of those groups who didn't release enough CDs. I can never get enough of Harriet's beautiful voice.

[fodleg]

whatever happened to these guys???

[wojtek0000]

what was it about the 90's that sparked all that genius? Was it the drugs? Legalize it then!

[rafalweb]

Isn't TOTP notorious for its bands lip syncing through their songs? Someone pls educate me about that.....She's not lip syncing here, so that;s why I ask. Thanks.

[Echdrum]

'rafalweb'- there r a few different stories-main1is some shows will not allow a band2play live-so they have the "tape" playing behind them. I also heard it has something2do w/ insurance. Amazing singers like Harriet or Sarah Brightman were told- "Look, this is the way we do it, for many reasons but your mic is ON so YES you are singing live," etc. American shows used2in the 70's/80's, then it stopped -Although w/ acts like justin t. it is usually everything lip synched then 'talking' over it.

[chulk607]

I think TOTP used to have a lot of lipsyncing going on, I remember someone telling me that they had to (or decided to) stop after a certain time.

The Sundays strike me as the sort of band that wouldn't bother with lip sync either way, it's not like you need to with someone like her singing. :D

[AK2927]

There were some musicians union rules about miming - they got around it here by singing live (as Harriet is here) but over the studio backing track. Even the OGWT did this.

[sketchmeister]

She's not lip syncing because she's fucking cool! You're welcome!

[SoilentGr33n]

I need to figure out how to play this song

[doubledown109]

its 2 chords E and A

[SoilentGr33n]

That I knew but it's not a regular E, and I don't think it's a regular A either.

Anyhow I pretty much figured it out by now and it sounds pretty much exactly like what he's playing so I'm cool :c)

[Rrinni]

what a song feels good!!! some time!!!

[t422apy]

Great Song . Saw them on TFI Friday Thought they were going to do this but did another track instead.

[Lobyloooo]

Surely them kids must be grown up by now! Time for a comeback!

[ega95jch]

Well said!

[inspiralroses]

@Lobyloooo Yeah, get 'em back to stage, John Squire on the other guit, and then Mc Guigan at the Hop, and Reni at the stakes!!! Yippieyeah!!!

[alalootz]

easy music makes my day!! like this one.

keep it up!!! love it!! very nice song....great!! ooohh yeah!

[skylinenumber9]

Wonderful song. I remember seeing this on TOTP, thanks for uploading :-D

[TheMiniEvilGuy]

Long time ago.

[velocitygirl66]

God I miss them. Such a wonderful band.

[yamahaforums]

Thanks for posting. Big...BIG Sundays fan. Have always loved Harriet's vocals. Shame they have not done anything for quite some time but I can understand they wanted to focus on raising their children. Still, nice legacy to leave behind :)

[n3iyr]

I like everything The Sundays do, but this album has some interesting overdub of Harriet's voice including this "live" clip. Makes an apealing sound. Great band with a great sound. Thanks!

[namlegna]

Fantastic singing voice. A bit of a Cocteau Twins flavour here me thinks.

Wonderful music.

[HighHopesBass]

I saw a comment the other day about this song that said "if you could open a window into heaven, this is what you would hear".

Absolutely bloody wonderful song that I will never ever tire of. I love it so much I'm going to have it played at my funeral :0)

Hopefully one day they'll come back. Music needs them.

[tongo311]

Dios mio que voz para mas hermosa, porfavor que vuela harriet con sus canciones y melodias que llegan al alma::

& its you and me in the summertime

Well be hand in hand down in the park

With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye

& all the sunshine banishes the dark

[Naxxx]

love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

[HobbesGoodyear]

My favorite Sundays song. Such a joy to see her sing it live! Thanks for posting.

[reubenleach]

She has a voice that makes me melt every time I hear it.

[ragamuffinboi]

voice is flawless!

[19195658]

Just brilliant.  They could still cut it with the dross around today.

She has the voice of an angel.

[johnchang7]

wow this is live? i thought totp was all lip synced. she's got an awesome voice.

[narso]

She has a lovely voice. Her accent really comes out here.

[gigoma1]

she looks kinda old. the girl from mazzy star is much cuter and hypnotizing.

[TheLostTruckDriver]

This is a band from back when talent sold records. The Sundays were unique. Nothing sounded like them for at least a decade. Then all the kids on American Idol (so to speak), took all the credit. I do like Vanessa Carlton though. The music is better produced nowadays, but this kind of music is a blessing given to us by The Sundays.

[forreal918]

I could not agree more, today there is more emphasis on production than talent... Harriet gets my vote for best rock soprano... trouble with this group was that they never were about money, so we only got three albums... maybe a clear case of less is more.

[bigbadmamajamma]

Her voice is like cotton candy and fun times at the fair! I love it!

[MrLeagueOJustice]

@bigbadmamajamma

Oh I can think of some fun times at the fair with.... oh never mind.

[1105Chance]

@bigbadmamajamma Right on! I've always thought the same thing!

[dsk2293]

Awesome vocals!

[dinhobradfield]

melhor vocal feminino!!!!great woman vocal!!!wonderfull

[papablo86]

nice...very nice

[skrason]

I hate to diminish the importance of this band by making such a typical "guy" comment, but, could Harriet be any more adorable??? Is that possible???

[texasgabe]

It's physically and cosmically impossible.  See the video for this song for emperical evidence.

[newsradiohead]

She emits a hypnotic transmission from her bee hive hairdo.

[bolderr]

what a voice...she's an angel...

[salsaeightyone]

im actually a little disappointed with this performance, she is not hitting some important notes though when she does hit them, it is beautiful =(

[zegustavo]

hermosa en todos los aspectos

[gleblue]

i wonder if they will get back in the studio i really want to hear new stuff miss harriets lovely voice.

[mattttttti]

a must...

[cozmicjoe]

Harriet looks too thin in this vid. Just concerned. Who of us could ever stand if something happend to her?

[miser42]

sorry chap but this performance is ten years old, relax and get a grip on reality :-P

[cozmicjoe]

You must have been under the impression that I thought this was a "new" video or something when I know damn well that Static and Silence was created in 1997 and the band hasn't been heard from since. And who are you? Why don't you save your "get a grip on reality" statement for serious issues.

[texasgabe]

I would just die. I'm NOT being sarcastic. I love you, Harriet!

[bonezzzz]

ur daydreaming dude. lol.

[GWBsux]

What is my wife doing on TOTP?? Harriet!! Get home this instant!!

[nfguler]

perfect live performance.

[narso]

great song. her accent really comes out in this one

[chrisedelic77]

Summertime on TOTP and I'm the first to say I love you Harriet! Your live voice compels me....
