Where is She?

Tonight I imported a little known B-Side track off of a single released by Michael Damian in 1989. Damian did a remake of “Rock On” which was featured in the film “Dream a Little Dream”. The B-Side track, “Where is She?” performed by “Blue Future” was also featured in the film but NOT on the soundtrack. Strangely, it sounds as if the vocals are Michael Damian’s. I have not been able to confirm that, nor have I found any information on a band by that name. However, I found the out-of-print 45 a few years ago and tonight I made it possible for me to listen to the track on my iPod by importing it to my computer. I even went so far as to remove a few pops and clicks from the track. Considering the source, I’m very happy with how it turned out. I then created some album art for it:

Where is She?

I wrote to Larry Weir, the writer of this track! He responded to my email. Here is the email exchange and the official details of the track:

Hello Larry,

I just wanted to drop you a line because some time ago I transfered a copy of the song “Where is She?” by “Blue Future” to my computer from a 45. Then I blogged about it–which probably wasn’t the brightest thing I’ve ever done as I regularly receive requests for the song over a year later.

I basically have three things to talk about.

1. I’d like to take the time to thank you for writing such a beautiful song. As many artists sometimes don’t appreciate their own work, feel like it wasn’t finished or it may have been rushed–I think it’s important for you to hear that many kids who grew up in the 80s and watched “Dream a Little Dream” really enjoyed this track. So from all of us to all of you–thanks!

2. Who is Blue Future? Was it all studio musicians? Did you sing the lead?

3. Do you own it? If so is it on that album of your music? I’d love to snag a digital copy for my own pleasure at some point before I die.

That’s it! Feel free to answer if you want. I won’t be offended if you don’t.

Take care,

Thanks for the note. Interesting story on that. As I was thrilled that they put it in the film, the music producers that controlled the soundtrack called with this good and bad news. Bad news: There are too many big name artists, and you will NOT be included on the “Dream A Little Dream” soundtrack! Good news: “We’ll put it on the B side (back in 1989 they still had vinyl singles) of the “Rock On” single. I had the last laugh as “Rock on” went to #1, and I got paid the same as the A side for record sales…making more $$ than anyone involved on the actual album. Not even sure I still have a copy of it…but if I locate it…I’ll send it off to you! Thanks for enjoying one of my all time favorite compositions. I did song it & used a few of my friends and studio guys to back me up and brother Tom was actually the other 1/2 of Blue Future. He now runs Studio City Sound (see: www.studiocitysound.com). We also just re-did Teen Witch a music film we did in the 80’s and it’s rocking. Check out www.myspace.com/teenwitchthemusical! thanks again!

Another update! 5/10/07

Someone has requested that they lyrics be posted to this entry. So here it goes…

Where is She – Blue Future
Written by: Larry Weir
———————-

Where is she?
Where is she?
I’ve been looking night through dawn.

Where is she?
Where is she?
I’ve been searchin’ on and on…

And I’ve been lookin’ a lifetime
Just to find her
You don’t know…

And I’ve been hurting for so long
Well it’s starting
Now to show…

Where is she?
Where is she?
I keep waiting for a call…

Where is she?
Where is she?
I keep pacing down the hall…

And maybe it’s an illusion
That keeps sayin’,
“That’s the one…”

Maybe it’s just confusion
That keeps playin’
When I know that there is no one…

    [Chorus]

    Where is she now?
    I don’t know–oh…
    Where is she now?
    I don’t know–oh…

Maybe I have been hiding
In another state of mind?

Could it be I could find her
in a moment–but I just won’t take the time?

    [Chorus]

I’ve been searchin’ on and on
I’ve been lookin’ night through dawn
I don’t know… (Where is she now)

I’ve been waiting for her call
I’ve been pacin’ down the hall
But I don’t know–oh!

Where is she?
Where is she?

UPDATE: 4/13/2008

A Year later. Today I obtained a cassette single of Rock On. I imported it and I think I’ve come up with an even CLEANER copy of the single.

  6. Nice work and follow through on “Where Is She”! I gave up looking long ago because I couldn’t find a good place to start. I’ve got the soundtrack on vinyl then later aquired it on cd, but the liner notes weren’t much help. If you still have the track and wouldn’t mind sending it I would be greatly appreciative!
    Thanks alot and keep up the good work!
    Rock On!

  7. I found this song completely by accident, after purchasing the Rock On cassette single at a thrift store today. I had never heard it before, and now I know why. I also have transferred it to mp3 and I look forward to listening to this on my ipod. Thanks for giving me the background on this.

  10. Ditto… not sure if you are still willing to share, but I have been searching for this for YEARS and YEARS. I would love a copy. Can’t seem to find it anywhere!

  11. I too love the Blue Future song “Where Is She?”. I just finished watching Dream A Little Dream for the first time in like 12 years. I went looking for the soundtrack and sadly realized that “Where Is She?” was not on it 🙁 Is there anyway that I would be able to convince you to share it with me? I would love to add it to my iPod as well!

    Thanks,
    Amber

  12. Hi! Dream a Little Dream is one of my all time favorite movies and I, like everyone else it seems, have been searching for “Where is She?” by Blue Future. Would you please be able to e-mail your copy of that song? While I’ve been searching for it, I have the song running through my head only it’s more like, “Where is it? Where is it?” LOL!

  13. Wow, if you have this on MP3 I would really, really love to get a copy of it! I get nastalgic just thinking about the movie. Great time to be a kid:)

  14. If you can, please send a copy of the song to me. Dream a Little Dream is one of my all time favorite films.

  15. Hi! Wanted to thank you for clearing up an old argument my husband and I have had going for several years about who the song “Where is She” was by. I said it was Blue Future and he said no that he remembered seeing the name on the actual 45 and that is was someone with the same last name as Michael Damian possibly his brother. So in the end, he was right and I was officially defeated but atlas it is over!! Oh, and could you also send us a copy as well?

    Thanks again,
    Julie

  17. Is it possible to send me a copy of this song? I was cleaning out my closet and found my cassette single, but I don’t have the means to transfer it. I know you get asked that a lot, but it would be great if you could. Thanks!

  18. Lookin for the song “Where is She” by Blue Future in the movie Dream a little Dream, any help would be very appreciated!!!!!

  19. Can I also get a copy of this song? I had it on my iTunes and then my computer went to hell and I lost the song. So if you could, please send me this song!

  20. Hey Adam,
    Thanks for the Blog- maybe it didn’t seem like such a good idea at the time, but without it I wouldn’t have had the info to find the song. I found a Vinyl single (heaps on Ebay), and transferred it to computer recently. What makes me laugh is that the reading I did online suggested that the vast majority of people who bought the Dream Soundtrack were actually looking for this song! Imagine, and it was not included! LOL! Thanks again for the info!!

  21. I have the cassette single … though it is just about worn out. CAn you send me a copy of the song?

    Thanks!!!

  22. I have the cassette single … though it is just about worn out. CAn you send me a copy of the song?

    Thanks!!!

  23. I am big into getting songs that were omitted from original release soundtracks. This ones a keeper. Can you please e mail me the song. Mike

  24. Hi, I have every track from the movie except for this one, but at one time I had it in mp3 form, burned it onto a cd, and wore it out before saving the track. This is the best song in the movie, I wish it was easier to locate. Could you please send it to me in an email? DougShootsPatti@hotmail.com I would greatly appreciate it. I’d love to hear it again.

  25. Hello. I am actually watching “Dream a Little Dream” on Netflix right now and had to pause it so I could look up your song. It is absolutely beautiful and I fell in love with it immediately. I wish that it was available on iTunes or through any other number of music vendors because I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Being as how I cannot find it, I will have to resort to adding myself to the long list of people who are begging you to send them a copy of the song. 🙂 Best wishes for future work. Thank you in advance.

  26. PLZZZ email me this mp3 my friend…I have been looking for it since I lost my cassette in the 80’s!!! Enough is enough already…almost 30 years looking for it SOMEONE PLEASE EMAIL ME THIS SONG!!!
    Thank you

  28. Man I love this song and The movie, If you could find the time to send me a copy of the song. I have looked everywhere with no luck. Thanks

  29. Hello,

    Like so many people before me, I, too, would love to add this song to my collection. I can’t believe they didn’t add it to the soundtrack! That sucks. I wondered if you would mind sending it to me, or where I can find it?

    Thanks,
    Tisha

  30. I’ve been searching for this song forever SINCE THE MOVIE CAME OUT! I was disappointed that it wasn’t on the soundtrack, I’ve searched everywhere and can not find. Would it be possible for you to send it to me or gave me info as to where I can find it? It’s one of my favorite soundtracks ever! I listen to it all the time to this day. Any help would be great.

    Thanx
    Mare

  31. Hi Adam–

    Please e-mail me your mp3 of Where Is She? if you don’t mind. I have the cassette single…..but no cassette player!!

    Thanks in advance!

    Rebecca

  32. I have the song in mp3 format, it was really hard to find. I love it because it reminds me of this girl that I am in love with who I cant seem to find anymore. I can physically, but mentally she is gone, and I don’t know where she went. The poor girl has been through so much, that she doesn’t know who she is anymore. Maybe one day i will find her again. If anyone wants this song, feel free to ask.

  33. OMG – I have been looking for this song for so long. This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Please send me an email with this song. My email is russ.wilson@msn.com Thank You so much!

  40. Hi,
    Given how many people love this song & would like a copy (my preferred format is tangible: ie. CD), maybe you can get it re-released??? If not, I’d love a copy too……. This is one of my favourite songs of all time and i was shattered when I played the Dream A little Dream soundtrack & it wasn’t there!!
    Thanks.
    Emma.
    🙂

  41. Could you please send me Where is She. I just found my old tape of it and it was all messed up from the years. I cried.

    Thank you,
    Dawn

  42. I was wondering if you could send me a copy of “Where is She” by Blue Future. I have a friend that I play co-ed softball with and it is his and his girlfriend’s song. I would love to be able to hand him this song at our co-ed tournament on Saturday 8-13-2011.
    Thank You,
    Billie Jo

  43. Wish I would have known you were looking for this…I have the cassette, but no way to transfer it to MP3. I would have happily sent it to you back when you needed it. All the version of it that I have found on the net are of poor quality.

  44. Can anyone please tell me how I can get “Where is she?” by “Blue Future” on my ipod? I have the Dream a little dream Soundtrack but it wasn’t on there.

  45. Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I think you’re the only source for a quality version of this song. Would you mind emailing it to me as well? It’s a great 80’s memory. I have the cassette single and it’s warped.

  46. Will you please email the song to me also. The song is awesome. I haven’t heard it in a long while.

  47. Hey – I recently had a fire in my home and lost my cassette single of “Where Is She?” Would it be possible for you to send me a digital file of it? I am just sick that my only copy is gone!

    Thank you and God Bless
    Russ

  48. Hi,
    Writing to you from Sweden. Just recently saw the film “Dream a little dream”, from my childhood. And when I searched after the soundtrack and discoverd that “where is she?” was not on it, I got really disappointed. When a found your website the hope finding the song was lit (lighted, dont know the word) again. I would appriciate it so much if you cold email me the song.

    Thank you!
    Pernilla

  49. Funny story, I loved that movie in the 80’s and i couldn’t get this song out of my head. so i went and bought the album, didn’t even think it won’t be there.
    I looked for it everywhere. I actually thought maybe it was Billy idol…
    7-8 years ago i have found the 7″ single as a B-side to rock on. and it made me so happy… it was nice reading here about the real performer since i knew nothing about him or blue future for that matter…
    I will convert it to wave and upload it here so people can enjoy it.

  50. I’ve been trying to get this song for so long. I remember being 5 years old and loving this movie and song. I would bug my mom all the time about it. Please, if possible, send me this song. I’d be so unbelievably grateful.
