At the time the tracks charted some thought it was recorded by Donna Summer because they thought that "Harmony" sounded like Summers' 1977 hit "I Feel Love." That confusion alone may have fueled the song's climb to the top of the Dance chart.
Prior to her singing career, she had success as a model with the Ford Agency in New York City. She was involved in an automobile accident after her album became a hit.
Harmony
Suzi Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me, that's harmony
Harmony, harmony
You and me, we're in harmony
There I was in all those shades of blue
Wondering if and when I'd make it through
I only knew the cat and dog in my life
You came along just in time
Threw me your lifeline
Harmony, harmony
You and me, that's harmony
Harmony, harmony
You and me, we're in harmony
Living with you helps me live with myself
I found a peace of mind, a brand new wealth
I never knew that sharing just meant caring
I didn't know a lot of things
Until you walked on in
Harmony, harmony
You and me, that's harmony
Harmony, harmony
You and me, we're in harmony

The lyrics convey a sense of gratitude and wonder that someone could come along, seemingly out of nowhere, and change the course of a life.
The opening lines, "Harmony, harmony, you and me, that's harmony" set the tone of the song as a tribute to the beauty and power of two people being in harmony with one another. The following lines describe the singer's state of mind before meeting the person who changes everything: feeling lost, blue, and unsure if she'll make it through. She had only the companionship of a cat and a dog in her life, until she met the person who threw her a lifeline.
The chorus repeats the message that the singer and her newly found love interest are now in harmony. The second verse reflects on the ways that living with this person has changed the singer's life for the better. She's found a sense of peace and contentment she never knew before.
