The Sundays - Summertime, live at TOTP

2024 and still loving this

[@denisefreitas6727]

Me too! ❤

[@Red05150]

The voice of an angel.

[@papalazarou27]

A voice full of love with a twist of melancholy. Sublime.

[@anthonyherniman6332]

Fantastic description. There aren't many who can combine the two. Whether she intends to, thinks about that, tries (doubtful, she seems far too natural a person for that), it's almost a case of who cares. But, at their best, they entwine two separate emotions in the vocals, guitars, lyrics, feel. What a band, in so many ways so unique.

[@rogeliosfast1]

I saw them play live in San Diego at The Canes in 1997 or 98. In between songs, Harriet was talking to the audience and asked which song we wanted to hear. I yielded "SUMMERTIME!!! and she said "Aw, perfect!" Immediately they proceeded to play that song. It was unforgettable and incredible!!!! Love The Sundays and all of their music... FOREVER!!! Please come back!! Pleeeease......

[@superunicorn6288]

she's a house wife and mother now .. the voice though shame Harriet Wheeler was pure class

[@joshuaio5288]

More power to them if they're happy; they made beautiful songs and joy is worth everything.

[@richardroberson2564]

@@superunicorn6288 Well they made 3 great albums and now they are settled down and happy. Seems like a pretty good life.

[@DaveG01]

What a great experience and memory! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure it still brings a smile to your face when you think about that night.

[@ravnentertainment8124]

I had tickets for that show and didn’t go because my “ex” was there …. What a fool I was. Thought they’d come back and never did. I think of that mistake often

[@richardikin]

This was a band that deserved to be huge. Harriets voice was stunning.

[@jeffazevedo1]

This woman really knows how to sing. The sweetest voice ever.

[@jjwankenobi]

Oh, Harriet...where art thou? I like to imagine that her, David and their two children went on to live a happy and anonymously quaint life somewhere in the UK countryside. Their music was a gift to us, and their early retirement from the business was a well-deserved gift to themselves.

[@redsed1565]

almost 2020 and still in love with her voice!

I was a huge fan of The Sundays in their 90's heydays, and still a fan now ... good melodic, well written, well played pop with angelic vocals - still makes me "feel" the same joy up my spine as I did back then, brilliant.

[@alfieholloway]

My god. Just watched this twice in a row and my eyes are filled with tears. I’ve always been in love with this song. I never knew what she looked like but she’s just as enchanting visually as her voice promised. It’s such a romantic, dreamy, nostalgic and perfect song. What a chorus. As good as any Her voice fits it perfectly A golden moment in the universe created this little masterpiece. Thank you stars. Thank you The Sundays.

[@SnakePepper]

Harriet was so cute! They were such a good band. Their music was so flighty and unique and that voice is just so good.

[@capnskiddies]

They used up all of the reverb allocated for the 90's

[@xtheedgeofreasonx]

This is truly one of the best bands in the history of planet earth.

[@Besyl]

I thought she was lipsyncing, but @2:14 had a sharp note that stood out and made me love her even more.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

There was a period on TOTP where the vocals had to be live.

[@VictorGarcia-if8vn]

The 90's, the last generation of great music.

[@eduardoortiz8657]

Totalmente

[@elizabethgeoghegan5167]

I still love this band. Unique sound and ingenious lyrics. Dearly missed. ❤

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Love this, an actual live lead vocal (backing vocals and instruments are track) on TOTP! Some might think it's all mimed, but her mic is for sure open and it's lovingly mixed with the track, no autotune required!

[@IanGoss-en3rl]

Yes i thought the was a flat note near beginning. Lovely on the chorus❤

[@mplsmark222]

A prime example of the music industry be so fickle. This was amazing music, an amazing singer with an amazing performance and they went away. Meanwhile, we have so much crap that passes for music. At least we have these recordings to appreciate.

[@_thestevinator]

What a voice! Harriet sings this full of hope and so in love with possibility of love. The dreams of a young woman. I think it was a moment in time for The Sunday's. Still would love them to come back together and perform.

[@airgreek]

She vanished where is she what does she look like today?

[@brilmao2817]

airgreek basically the same just slight aging

[@kevinlyford5877]

Just heard this song for the very first time and it's 2022,!!!!everything is so so true what I read about them ,what an incredibly beautiful voice she has.

[@ingy2468]

Very Smiths'esque, what a beautiful stirring vocal, what Morrissey'esque lyrics and what a fantastic Indie band they were. Brings a tear to your eye.

[@newbadthings]

They're described as combining a lot of Smiths and Cocteau Twins elements. I'd tend to agree.

[@gflstd5847]

Yes their lyrics are amazing! Both she and David were Literature majors. Very impressive and well written.

[@patricklokhorst9995]

Harriet's voice can melt everything. I love it!

[@jeffreyjones2345]

The most beautiful and unrated voices you will ever hear.

[@gltwn]

what a massive hit pop song. this should be on the radio in 2020

[@user-pi9ev4nw3q]

Gosh her voice is truly lovely omg and im not the type to listen to this genre of music my fav bands are Korn, Slayer and so on, even when people hear me listen to the Sundays they can't believe it but i just love Harriet and her voice so soothing and real and powerful its like an angel is singing to me. Love her🌺💐💖

[@dazza6333]

Same here mate I love slayer

[@jimwells4774]

Yeah man From the first listen....like I'm connected to her ...wow And now when I'm like 56 yrs old. And divorced...lol

[@brainrapist3540]

Angel of life

[@g.g.6362]

Once heard,that voice stays with you forever....How this band weren't massive,I will never know,but doesn't detract from the enjoyment.

[@misandryshih8398]

I loved Harriet’s voice!!!!

[@mankydave67]

Everything about Harriet screams “Angel”!! One of my favourite female vocalists.

[@dralgemeine]

This is one of my 2 1/2 year old daughter's favorites. One of her before bedtime songs. Here the lighting and stage really show Harriet's beauty and talent!!!

[@TasteBudJunkie]

That voice ♥️

[@leejones4497]

I had no idea of the existence of this song until I caught it just now on BBC4 totp2. What a beautiful, glorious, youthful celebration of life. Her voice is wonderful how it almost doesn't quite hit the notes, similar to Bernard Sumner's unique delivery, under-produced indie creating an authentic, refreshing, honest sound.

[@Andsaca1]

Harriets voice I could listen to all day. so recognisable and so very, very good!! Please Harriet do a tour of the UK!

[@Kodeekat]

How did I miss this song back in the 90s? I listened to many of the similar college rock bands back then.

[@paulielappers3412]

Loved the Sundays since the 80's when they broke out. Still love them. Lyrics beautiful. Takes me back to better days. Refreshing compared to the mass produced crap we have to endure now. Last be em.

Wow, she wasn't lip syncing... that's a rare for TOTP. The Sundays were the best.

[@danaddesa7243]

100% Live and excellent . love it 👍😍😘

[@theebaydj]

Me & you thought the exact same thing.

[@TTBurgerThePlayStationGamer]

why do so many people lip sync on Top Of The Pop

[@xtheedgeofreasonx]

I know right? I think their integrity wouldn’t allow them to disgrace themselves in that way.

[@lisageorgetti3572]

I don't think it's 100% live. She's singing over the backing track, which a lot of artists did on TOTP and also the Whistle Test. Live performances became more common on TOTP in the latter days.

[@julieberces2097]

I wasnt born yet around the 80's or early 90's, I've only discovered the Sundays recently and I love love love their music!

[@mpm517]

Julie Berces glad you discovered The Sundays !! One of the best of their time ! Love the Blind album ✌

[@miracles4u]

Great solid song. Soulful vocals. And their appearence in a buffy episode singing wild horses still haunts me. Think they needed just a couple more summertimes but they done very very well to get where they got. It's impossible for bands of this ilk to get anywhere these days. Sad but true

[@mariem211]

Do some people wind up with the one that they adore In a heart-shaped hotel room it's what a heart is for The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high? Hello partner Kiss your name bye-bye Sometimes... Romantic Piscean seeks angel in disguise Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes Liverpudlian lady sophisticated male Hello partner Tell me love can't fail & it's you & me in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye & all the sunshine banishes the dark Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor In a distant hell-hole room third world war But all I see is films where a colourless despair Meant angry young men with immaculate hair Sometimes... Get up a voice inside says there's no time for looking down Only a pound a word & you're talking to the town But how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart? Just to touch A lonely heart & it's you & me in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye & all the sunshine banishes the dark & it's you I need in the summertime As I turn my white skin red Two peas from the same pod yes we are Or have I read too much fiction? Is this how it happens?

[@tyronewilson1777]

Outstanding!!!!!

[@bongodave13]

This song tugs at my heart. What happened to these guys? I wish they'd get busy again.

[@mikeguinness5408]

One of 2 "Spirit Songs" that The Sundays managed to make (with "Here's Where The Story Ends"), only 10,000 Maniacs and DMB managed that trick. Such a great band, wish they had made more than what they did, but appreciative of what they did.

[@thirstypilgrim97]

One of the very few TOTP performances that wasn't lip-synced.

[@04nbod]

To be fair to TOTP it was a lottery. They had pop acts come in whose membership was based on what they looked like on the cover of Smash Hits. They had US acts who didn't want to sound check and they had to put on a decent show. They couldn't rely on acts just turning up and hitting their notes.

[@PristonFestivalVids]
