This was a HUGE hit in Finland in 1993. Bought the album and it was really good. I would have loved a follow up but I guess the Nordics was not big enough of a market
Finally, after all these years, I've found this!! I still remember seeing the clip and hearing the song for the first time in 1992, loved it then and still do to this day. Thanks for posting!
Finally found it here, I heard it when I was young. FYI, there's a cover by an asian artist named Faye Wong, same song's name back then. If anyone saw this msg, please give it a try, listen to her cover. Even if you don't understand the language cuz she sang in cantonese, you will like it.
Helen Hoffner-- Summer of Love Monday morning out of bed I drag a comb across my head Heard whispers from the avenues Saying "C'mon gal, take a day off school" The things you do when you are young Candy came and turned me on With a Beatles revolution song Had a smoke and shared a joke And said we'd drive down to the coast The things you do when you are young Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan With the top rolled back as the sun beat down And the pretty boys on the promenade Shouted "C'mon girl, cos here we are" Angel It's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah my spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free The things you do when you are young So we walk the beach for an hour or two Just looking cool nothing else to do Warm winds brushed against our face Like an angel's kiss it's left no trace The things you do when you are young As the storm cloud breaks across the bay The surf-board kings have had their day And Candy said "I've got a great idea Let's get the car and drive out of here Angel Chorus: The things you do when you are young Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan With the top rolled back as the sun beat down And the pretty boys on the promenade Shouted "C'mon girls cos here we are" Angel Chorus: It's the summer of love And my whole world's turning In the heavens above yeah my spirit is burning It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free Chorus
An artist who should have been more successful than she was. I got this single back in 1993 at a $1 bargain sale in Brisbane. I'd never heard of her, but I saw it was on Magnet Records which had previously had a lot of success with Alvin Stardust, Darts, and Kissing The Pink so I got it.

Faye Wong recorded that song in 1993
Finally found it here, I heard it when I was young. FYI, there's a cover by an asian artist named Faye Wong, same song's name back then. If anyone saw this msg, please give it a try, listen to her cover. Even if you don't understand the language cuz she sang in cantonese, you will like it.
You were right! I love that version too!!
Faye Wong also has a Cranberries cover (Dreams) that's amazing!
The cover of Faye Is too much shine on the melody, this original isn't bad but don't now, the version of Faye to me Is the best on my opinion hahaha
i'm from thailand, i think the version of Faye Wong is better.
Helen hoffner is brilliant
Love this song with a lot of memories ☀️
A real champion helen hoffner is.
Amazeing great

Helen Hoffner-- Summer of Love
Monday morning out of bed
I drag a comb across my head
Heard whispers from the avenues
Saying "C'mon gal, take a day off school"
The things you do when you are young
Candy came and turned me on
With a Beatles revolution song
Had a smoke and shared a joke
And said we'd drive down to the coast
The things you do when you are young
Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan
With the top rolled back as the sun beat down
And the pretty boys on the promenade
Shouted "C'mon girl, cos here we are"
Angel
It's the summer of love
And I feel on fire
In the heavens above yeah
my spirit is flying
It's the summer of love
And young hearts will always run free
The things you do when you are young
So we walk the beach for an hour or two
Just looking cool nothing else to do
Warm winds brushed against our face
Like an angel's kiss it's left no trace
The things you do when you are young
As the storm cloud breaks across the bay
The surf-board kings have had their day
And Candy said "I've got a great idea
Let's get the car and drive out of here
Angel
Chorus:
The things you do when you are young
Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan
With the top rolled back as the sun beat down
And the pretty boys on the promenade
Shouted "C'mon girls cos here we are"
Angel
Chorus:
It's the summer of love
And my whole world's turning
In the heavens above yeah
my spirit is burning
It's the summer of love
And young hearts will always run free
Chorus
Love it wow
Love her s real champion
Love it.
Thank you very much!
Yick Wong vere,very nice :)
