- "Where Are You Now?" by Jimmy Harnen
Album: Can't Fight the Midnight (1989)
Songwriters: Jimmy Harnen / Rich Congdon
"Where Are You Now?" peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1989.
WNEP TV Story on Synch: • Jimmy Harnen and Sync...
If you want to listen the 1986 version: • Synch with Jimmy Harne...
SYNCH - Where Are You Now ? (Live): • SYNCH - Where Are You ...
In 1985, Harnen recorded two songs in a studio with four friends under the name Synch - one of which was “Where Are You Now?”. On a whim he called a local radio station that was promoting an upcoming Bon Jovi show and asked to be the opening act. The DJ had him audition for the program director who gave them the gig and put “Where Are You Now?” into rotation, a rarity in that the station generally only played established, national acts at the time.
The song became so popular the station told Harnen to mass produce some records of the single. After independently selling 15,000 copies at local record stores, CBS Records signed the band and “Where Are You Now?” peaked at #77 in 1986.
Two years later, Nationwide Communications (owner of several radio stations) began to add older songs from acts like UB40 (“Red Red Wine”), Benny Mardones (“Into The Night”), Sheriff (“When I’m With You”) and Synch (“Where Are You Now?”) into rotation, sending their past minor hits back onto the charts. After re-peaking at #10 in 1989, Synch followed the song up with Can’t Fight The Midnight, but the band had no further chart success, earning them the label of one-hit wonder.
What have the artists said about the song?
Harnen told Billboard in 2017: "It was about a girl, Greta. Pretty German girl. My mom and dad just didn’t want us dating. My mom said, ‘You guys need to split up.’ So, that song is all about [how] we broke up."

Whoever doesn't like this song must not have a heart cause this is one of the most beautiful power ballads of all time
It reminds me of my girlfriend
Beautiful song reminds me of my ex bf and how things didn't end the way they should this was his song for me when we broke up 😔we haven't spoken in 3 years now and when I heard this song I wanted to just call him up and say that I am sorry for the way it ended and how much I still love him and how much I miss him because it touched my ❤however 💔it may be 🥺sorry for the downess ppl just brought back feelings that I thought were gone my apologies all
@@jeaneaknight5950 This song takes me back to when I lost the love of my life over 30 years ago. I still think of her when I here it.
it almost got zero recognition. I don't understand. I wish they sang it live.
@@jeaneaknight5950 No need to apologize. Indeed I, myself, have posted similarly with this song and others after the memories started flooding back. It just proves you're human. Just follow your heart. 💗💪
Certain songs bring back the 80s like a flood. This is one of them.
My God I haven’t heard this song in over 30 years. I completely forgot it existed. Crazy.
Out of the blue the first line it popped into my head so began searching and goi d it and am listening over and over. In my childhood and college I used to cry to it and like a fool, keep playing it along with air supply and journey
Me, too. Then it just randomly popped into my mind, funny.
@@kevinarmour3379broooooo same! 35 years later and it just popped into my mind.
Thing is, I must have the Mandella Effect. When I first heard this played on the radio in 1988, I could have sworn the DJ over and over said it was Tommy Page, and I even found the song on Napster and Bearshare by that name! :O But now I see that it is by Jimmy Harnen all this time???
Same here. I heard it on Sirius 80’s channel the other day and thought hmmm…this sounds familiar. Two minutes later I had tears streaming down my face.
80s music rocks!
Nothing comes near the 80s music. Thank God we were there in the 80s to live in this golden decade.
Long live the 80s!
The music of my youth... I wish I could go back... Life was so much better in the 80's.
AND ALL THE FOLKS WEARING DRESSES WHO SIT BEHIND THE PASTOR ALL STOOD IN UNISON AND SANG OUT -AMEN!
Ahh the 80s I was pumping a gallon of regular leaded 88 octane of gasoline in my Mom's 1966 Cadillac Calais for 65 cents a gallon I could purchase a brand new pair of American made Levi button fly 501s for $12 a pair at the Millers Outpost and a pair of brand new American made slip on Checkered Vans for $5 A king sized candy bar for 25 cents Yes those were great times
Totalmente cierto! Como los 80' no habrá!
Absolutely gone to shits now. I will never stop listening to the 80's :)
Yea right
I just listened to this like 20x in a row..omg the memories… now eating peanut butter right outta the jar & crying 😭 😂❤
I still remember that the first time I heard this song was in 1989. Now I'm 53 and I still love this song. 😊
wah sama bu.. saya inget bgt pas masuk kuliah, team musik kampus nyanyi lagu ini... gk bisa lupa, persis 1989
Saya juga
❤❤❤😢
I remember when i met the prety girl
Seangkatan kita, ingat kuliah pertama, kos pertama. Malam malam dengerin lagi gini di kos syahdu banget....hehehe
This is why i love UA-cam because of these 1980's and 1990's songs!
All songs yes our time machine takes us back
La musica de los 80 fue la mejor
Yes totally ❤️😎👍
Wow.....takes me back. 1989......music was great then.

Hasta que un día la escuché en una radio de mi provincia llamé y el locutor muy amablemente me dijo el cantante el nombre de la canción...me trae gratos recuerdos!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ saludos cordiales desde Argentina
Met a boy when we were 10…fell in love with him when we were 15… lost him when we were 21….married him when we were 44….lost him when we were 51…missing him every night since…❤

Peaks and valleys, I can only suggest embracing those special moments and memories between 44 and 51, I feel Your pain!

I missed my husband so much.. its been 10yrs.. since i lost him.. may he rest in Peace. I missed all he does for me . Where are you now!

Sorry about him
Many great ballads came from the 80s, and this is definitely one of them.
1000%

Once in a lifetime of a golden decade!
generasi emas utk yg klahiran 68-75...periode dmn lagu2 terbaik dari semua genre lahir pada thun 1980-1997.
80s muzik terbaik!
True, 80's the best musics ❤❤❤❤❤
One of my most favorite songs. This was originally released in 1986 - I was 15. Hard to believe it was that long ago.
true the song was originally released in 1986, but didn't become a top 10 pop hit until 1989 at the time!!!
I was fifteen in 1986 I remember this song well
1986 o 1986.....first time!?.
@@danielburns987 In 1986, it charted number 77, then three years later it reached the number 10 spot in the Billboard Top 100 in 1989.
I thought it sounded older than 1989.
I rescued a kitten and her name is Charky. We sit outside for about an hour and a half before dark every night and listen to great music such as this. I think she really likes the music because she likes to snuggle when I play this song in particular.
cats know good music 🎶.
I was 13 when this song was popular and I remember my cat Andy came up missing. I used to cry wondering where he was every time I heard this song. The emotions all come back. (funny your comment about your cat was the first one I saw).
I always had dogs thinking cats were not lovable. Boy was I wrong. My first cat, Tony, got cancer and I had to have him put to sleep. I cried like a baby and still miss him. When I heard this little cry in the cart shed at the golf course I found a kitten who was hungry. I would feed her every day then one day we had a tornado warning and the siren was sounding. I went to the cart shed to get her and she wasn’t there. I called her and she came running. I took her home and she loves her home.
I’ve been listening to this song well over 30 years. It has a lot of meaning and makes me think of things going on in my life.
I was 16 when this song came out...I'm now 51...so many years gone by....I still can remember it like yesterday
Still listening😊
Missing my late husband, it's one of his favorite music🥺😔
August 2023❤
I lost my brother in 1990...music from the 80s keeps me going...I share your pain of loss....grief is love preserving love..
The 80s and 90s are the best era
I think the eras do not go by exact decades, they go by middle decades. Example 76-85, 86-94, 95-2005. After 2006 music got ruined.
@@PabloQuadriCora This is true. After 2005, it was over. By 2006 it was dead.
Definitely one of the most underrated power ballads of the 1980s, this is IMO one of the best power ballads of all time and it definitely deserves more recognition than what it gets
Lost my mom a few months ago.The feelings really tear you when you realize how much you loved each other.Miss my Mom!!
I'm a stranger but I'm so sorry for your loss man.
Sorry for loss Robert. It's never easy losing a loved one especially your mom or dad. Hold onto memories and happy times you guys had. I lost my mom, my dad and my big brother before I turned 45. 😢
So sorry for your loss..it’s never easy to lose a loved one.
Sorry for your loss man. My condolences . I lost my brother in 2011 and I always wonder where are you now. I'm so depressed
I miss my mom too. Now that am 58, all I can think of is whether I could be reunited with her in the hereafter.
25+ years ago I had the love of someone who genuinely cared about me & I pissed it away. Don't make my mistakes...Cherish people & the moments of life ✌️💕
Funfact: in 1986, this song hit 87 in the Billboard Hot 100, then in 1989 it jump to the number 10 spot. What a feat!!!!
Back when singers EARNED their success. Yes this sing and artist represent a true success story.
The original 1985 version is on my channel (same singer, different musicians).
@@davewebbtheauthorfun fact: you're wrong! The song was RE-RELEASED years later and hit the top 10
@@timsullivan4687 Not sure why my comment didn't show up, buy I am not wrong at all. I was referring to the locally-recorded 1985 version -- which did have different musicians -- not the 1986 version. You can hear the different version on my channel.
Love this song! It's so heartfelt and sad. ❤
This is such a beautiful song, absolutely breathtaking!
This song takes me back, right back to a Saturday night as a teenager, waiting for it to play on the radio. ❤
I'm 32 and I love this song❤️❤️
When I first heard this song, I immediately thought of my college love, Lori.
I’ve searched for her on social media to no avail but I’ve never given up.
Yesterday, 39 years later, I got a lead, followed it, sent a text and heard back from her. There is joy in my heart, even if we never see each other again, we’ve communicated with each other once more!
So nice to hear that! So how did things turn out? Did you guys ever met up again after getting in touch after all these years?
We are in touch with each other just about once a week. Lori is happily married but a friend once more!
💔
My brother used to play this song in the summer of 89 before leaving to Basic Training at Lackland A.F.B. Even though he's passed away, this is one of many songs that left an indelible impression on my musical love of the songs he introduced me to.
I was at Lackland in'89 too maybe we crossed paths ya never know.
Rip..
Your Brother is a Hero May He Rest In Peace I am a Former Marine I served in Dessert Sheild Dessert Storm God Bless You and Your Family 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This brings back a lot of memories from Summer of 1989.
Dawn Marriott of Ft. Walton Beach Florida I never have forgotten you.
I hope you are happy in life and that all your dreams come true. I still miss you.
Mark
For the longest time I thought Michael W. Smith sang this song.
Los 80’s fueron como una vida entre paréntesis. Una vida dentro de otra vida. Tan particular, unica e imborrable epoca. No se si fue mejor o peor que hoy día, fue tan solo distinta. Hermosos recuerdos. Mi secundaria, mucha gente que jamás volvi a encontrar. Recuerdos hermosos e inocentes. Life is beautiful. ♥️
Should of won the Grammy for best ballad at that time .
Losing an arm or leg is much easier than having your heart broken. They can heal. The pain in your heart can last a lifetime. I dated many women in my life and there was only one that absolutely brought me to my knees when she left. It absolutely devastated me. It’s only been a year but it feels like a lifetime. My friends tell me to start dating again. I can’t. When you find “the one” you just know. To hear this song hurts but is so true. I think of her everyday. It sounds like the man who wrote this is in a very similar boat as many of us.
I'm sorry for your lost, hope you'll get over it and find another woman who truly loves you
mine left me for a sibling, that really hurt and still does.
Tried to multi-thumb...tech hadn't caught up
No te torturas goza!!!!
💔
This song is on one of my mixed tapes, recorded straight from the radio😊
❤
This was the time when music was awesome.
Nicola, i think about you still. hope your good. Thanks for the memories back in the 80s, we were in our 20s, Life went on, i did well. I never forgot you though...
One of my classmates always enjoyed this song and because she knew I knew how to play it, always would ask me to play it for her on the piano when we were in school. Sadly, she died from injuries sustained in a car accident 3 months shy of our high school graduation. About a year later in 1989, this song FINALLY became a huge hit after its original release in 1986. To this day I still think of my friend Laurie whenever I hear this song. Laurie was my friend who died.
Sad she is listening from heven
@@michaelarjoon9302 She is dead dude. Nobody is listening from heaven...wake up!!!
@@wilhelmhemrich3303 🤣🤣🤣
Ha?
Lagu ini tahun 1986 dan datanya berarti aku masih umur 10 tahun waktu itu.
you're a mean prick aren't you...smh
The lyrics are true about life of many. Suddenly, from within the people's mind, something resonates
Absolutely every comment about this wonderful ballad, I agree 👍, can't believe this song hardily got any air play on Australian radio ( especially in Sydney) when this song was released in around 1986,,considering it was the era off the power ballads, the 80s music the beat ever,,🙂

Very popular here in the Philippines 🇵🇭😊

When ever I hear this song, it instantly takes me back many years to a particular moment of my life that I will never....can never forget, wish I had been wiser, more mature.
Diemerstein Bingo
Ditto!
Diemerstein me too
Me too
Me too. I messed up and I will never forgive myself and never forget him
The 80's will never leave those who still sing the songs of their youth. 80's music is time travel for us. We were there. We want to be there again, if only for a moment, an hour, a day.
My wife spent every quarter She had as a kid playing this song. I think of her every time I hear it.
This is the most beautiful song in the world havent heard this in a long time brings back alot of memories ❤
I hadn't heard this song in years until this morning, and I just needed to listen to it again. Such amazing lyrics and a beautiful, mellow voice. This definitely and fondly reminds me of when I was younger. It was one of my favorites... and I'm reclaiming.
The 80s has been the best decade by far for music!
I agree 100%
What a beautiful love song!
This song came back to my memory out of the blue. I hadn't heard it for decades. I could remember most of the lyrics.
A beautiful song!
What i wouldn't give to go back to the 80s...
Great success history associated with this song and a sad true story behind the song itself.
LOVED this song!!! Thank you for the memories Jimmy Harnen!!
A beautiful echo from the past ❤
When I first land in the USA from my old country Madrid Spain this is the first song I heard,n I loved it!!!! Still do!!! Specially when I met someone so special.
80’s is my generation decade and I have to admit the 80’s music was THE BEST in EVERY CATEGORY, I remember buying the 45 of this song which I still have it and , remember myself playing this song OVER AND OVER and , I still in 2021 playing this song 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏, thanks 🙏 for uploading this song ❤️💯👍👌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸
This song sums up perfectly love and heartache as a kid in the 80s.... phenomenal.

I know exactly what you mean.
Dated a Girl for 4 years while I was in Highschool,

Strange how things work out.
Just heard the song and saw your comment and had the same thought
God Bless..... Jason
I grew up with a friend, we was so close we called each other cousins. He always sang this song. I looked for it for years. I just now found it. This is the first time I have heard the artist song this sound. Billy died in 2015. Every time I listen to this song, I get choked up. This is all I have left of him. I am so thankful for this song. I will never lose this song. Thank you to every one who likes this song. It is a blessing for me. It helps me find peace.
Hello me too can i subs to you if you subs to me?
Beautiful song.
This song is so awesome incredible from the 80s 🔥 💯 🎵 👌 🙌
Wow!!! What an 80's gem here!!! I can't hardly believe that this masterpiece didn't receive the acclaim that it so richly deserved!! Have always loved this masterpiece!! Thank you,Jimmy Harnen!! 8-16-2018

Loved this song in 1986 and loved it even more when they re-released it in 1989.
Agreed 80 's music were the Best of all times n memories
This song title is similar to others present songs, and now it's hard to find it especially on UA-cam...
Finally I found it ❤😊
A song that makes me feel bad for my mistakes in 89 wish I had a second chance at my mistakes to do things differently now this song makes me long for that ..funny how when we lose something we don't know what we have til it's long gone .this song captures that

I wish I could go back.....junior high school
Best time ever
the ultimate ‘ high school first love’ Song
Every once in a while I think about this song and play it. I've always loved it. It reminds me of a specific time in my life that was magical.
Beautiful song.
I never heard this song until I listened to an 80's compilation CD and fell in love with this song instantly. Wish I could buy it on iTunes but for now UA-cam will have to do. Great song and makes me think of some of the guys who are no longer in my life :(
It was two weeks ago at my job i hearded fell in love. i can feel him he need her in bad times where are u now he so sincere. And says some one that has was mind!! Where are u now he really looking for lol. But nice song i agree.
One of my junior high girlfriends favorite songs. RIP Tonya ❤️
This was on my list of songs I made in the 90's of songs that I liked, but I didn't know who the artist was...thank heaven for the internet!
How can someone dislike this song ? What kind of crappy life you live to hit dislike on this song !!
This song is not an easy find,I had stopped looking for it. Haven't heard it for quite some time. Suddenly here it is. Thank you.
Yep,this was and still is one of the best ballads of the 80's. I was in the 8th grade when this song debuted
1989 left jakarta heading to Los Angeles. Still remembered my ex just called and said goodbye. This song was surely tortured me for those miserable years. But I bounced back and learn the lesson well
Released in 86, the year I was born. However, i really love this song.🤟
Ouch touching😂😂😂 where are you now?? Hope your fine
this song make me think in those who passed away...definitively they are in our hearts...and simply live in our memories...its hurt, but we have to thank God for the time we had with them...beautiful and very touching song!!!
i really like this song....bring me to 80's....and i feel it
Not too old, today I was 58'th n still hear this song . I wish I've more time to enjoy to back my memories .
Everybody in the world loved this song when they were 14. Trust me, you don't want to be stuck in the 80's but you will still love this song when you are in your 40's. :) :) :)
This takes me back to my freshman year in college. What a great song! Should have been a much bigger hit.
In the US or Israel?
Well, Ahuvati was from 1988 and it should have been an international hit as well.
People around the world should know Mashina.
I was in the 7th grade when I heard this song
Snake? I heard you were dead.
@@mike5556 Nah, I escaped.
Sometimes, I wish I was 16. I miss the 80s
This song was released in 1986 I was 17 and a junior in high school! The best times .
I was 19 years old when this song came out. The local.radio.station would play it.
I haven't thought about this song for so many years, but today the lyrics came out of my mouth for absolutely no reason. I've been thinking about her all day.
Here is one of the best ballads ever written and performed. The arrangements are smooth, the lyrics are fantastic and Jimmy's voice is flawless! Thank you for posting this gem!
Couldn't agree more!
Quiero volver a vivir los 80 por favor!!!❤
wow... been ever havnt heard this ... not 4 ever .. but ever
nice songs
Where are you now ?
My first love and i still younger in 1989 😊
