'Where is she?' just played on BBC radio 2!

[SonicVolcano]

Is this a Friends outtake?

Thanks for sharing

During the Sunflower sessions. I agree, this track has so much potential - and it actually is quite good even as an unfinished demo. Contrary to other posts above me, I happen to think Brian sounds quite good.

Thanks! Didn't know that.

[SMiLE Brian]

BW! 

[king of anglia]

This is great. Really great. Classic.

[Wrightfan]

Screw it, I'm listening to the whole damn thing 

[rab2591]

Dang that sounds fine. Thanks for sharing that Cliff!

[Wrightfan]

Just listened to it. It's good though as said before, it does kinda peter out at the end.

Amazing that it could've been better.

is this a Murry song?

Good to hear it, but I can see why it wasn't finished- bits of the melody are just too close to she's leaving home

Beliagio site says it's 100% Brian

[Cliff1000uk]

Dang that sounds fine. Thanks for sharing that Cliff!

No worries guys-just giving a little back to everything I've heard/learnt on here over the years

In terms of the song, I agree, it does seem to wander off but is firmly in the, 'what could have been' list

Maybe a couple of, "COME ON mo'fos" would have helped!

A lot of Beach Boys songs peter out at the end.  See "break away"

[Matt Bielewicz]

I think it's terrific - a great 'new' (to these ears, at least) downtempo Brian number like My Diane or Sweet Mountain.

I think he sounds really good on it, vocally.

The 'chorus' does sound waaaay too much like She's Leaving Home, mind...!

And thanks for sharing, Cliff. My iPlayer just didn't want me to play Vanessa Feltz (I sympathise), so it was excellent being able to skip her with your file!

[Surfs Down]

Not on par with his other songs from this period, but such a nice, sweet little song.  No one does tender/sweet like BW

[Mikie]

Cool!  Thanks, Cliff!

[Phoenix]

Here you go as an mp3:

If doing these up in mp3 is annoying anyone here, let me know and I'll stop

Cheers

Thanks!  Not prefect but I like it a lot; especially as a demo.  A nice Brian addition to Sunflower.  One has to wonder if finished, would it have would up with a divided vocal, like "Add Some Music To Your Day"?  Brian seemed to shy away from full lead vocals around that time.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Wow. Haha where has this track been for all these years?!?!

Wow... HAHA

Are you kidding, Cliff? It's not annoying. After all, who doesn't like getting music for free? Many thanks for the download! Btw, clever thing it was to name the file differently, in order to prevent the song from being taken down.

I'm with EH1966, Brian indeed sounds great here, I'll even go further saying it's one of his top performances. The "I wonder..." highlights the whole song, adds some color. I see the similarity with She's Leaving Home but honestly, the BBs tune is so much better! Dig the echoing, gives an extra blissfulness. Beautiful arrangements that seem understated at 1st listen. I don't mind the odd finish too. Actually, Where Is She? didn't come off as a demo to me, more like a completed competent song on its own.

That's cool-I'm just aware that some on here like to wait and don't want the temptation plus they are only mp3's. I renamed it as, lets say, after editing Feltz out, the program I used renamed the track as, "Australian Piano Waltz"!!

I also realize these would last about 3 minutes on YouTube!

Glad you guys appreciate them-as I said, it's my small token back.

Now.....if WITBNTLA leaks, I could be tempted to send a 30sec sample for the complete SOT boxsets!

[Ziggy Stardust]

Nice little song, really love the first verse and chorus

[Rocker]

Very cool! Could've been a album's standout if fully realized

[TV Forces]

I appreciate it.  Very good track!

[bossaroo]

wow. it's wonderful and will very likely be my favorite thing on MiC

thanks for sharing!

[smyleysmyle]

I love it!  It's completely new to my ears.  Am I the only one who thinks this wouldn't have sounded too out of place on Pet Sounds?

[Cabinessenceking]

Already said; but where the hell has this been for all this time??!?!?!

This is actually a very strong track. Lovely Brian voice in the style he would later sing 'Awake'. This def on my playlist asap.
Is this the first instance of Brian using a moog synthesizer as a central instrument. Do we know who played the instruments?

Yeah, there's a slight "Don't Talk" vibe.

I'll seriously never understand this band. They tossed so much good stuff to the side over the years. Brian's tendency to shy from full leads during this era is similarly baffling.

[runnersdialzero]

Also, I really hope I don't come to associate this woman's face with the song.

Also, don't really hear the "She's Leaving Home" similarity beyond the waltz timing and some of the... erm, vocal syncopation, but not really the melody at all. I'll admit I'm not especially familiar with either song right now, though. I'll still say that "Where Is She" is seemingly very much its own song.

[Smilin Ed H]

Love it.  Thanks for posting it.

That's five songs 'leaked' (or five I've heard): four great; one good and one so-so (though not to bad when compared to most of the rest of the album it would've been on).
