What can I say about Harriet Wheeler, singer/songwriter of The Sundays. Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful sense of life. Here is a YouTube video of her singing Summertime:

Summertime
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
ooh 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 and 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, the third world war
but all I see is films where colourless despair
meant angry young men with immaculate hair
ooh 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?
How does it happen?
Is this how it happens?
Now, right now

I'm glad you posted that. I love that song, but I had completely forgotten about its existence. She does have a beautiful voice, and I have to agree she is very pretty. I'd never seen the video before.
I don't think I had seen any of their videos before yesterday, when I searched for them on YouTube.
This song doesn't even show her voice at its best. Listening to her sing Here's Where the Story Ends or You're Not the Only One is mesmerizing.
But I like the sense of life of Summertime the best.
Very nice. I wish I could find someone like that to sing my songs...
I think if Audrey Hepburn had been a singer, she would have been Harriet Wheeler - and vice versa. Two peas in a pod, as Harriet would say. And that's a good thing.
