Jimmy Harnen is an American adult contemporary singer, songwriter and drummer. He sang lead vocals for the pop rock band Synch's 1989 top ten hit "Where Are You Now?".
Biography
Harnen was born and raised in Plymouth, a small town in northeast Pennsylvania. In high school he played drums in the marching band. In 1985, he became the drummer for the local band Synch, made up of lead vocalist Lou Butwin, guitarist Dave Abraham, bass guitarist James A. Donnelly and keyboard player Chuck Yarmey.
That year, the band recorded some of their songs, with Harnen singing on one song, "Where Are You Now?". He had written the song with a friend named Rich Congdon, and the band decided to release it as a single on the independent label Micki Records, originally backed with the Butwin-sung B-side, "End the Game".
After receiving local airplay in the Wilkes-Barre market, Synch was signed by Columbia Records and "Where Are You Now" was re-recorded at The Warehouse in Philadelphia with the former Dakota members Bill Kelly and Jerry Hludzik producing and Dave Abraham playing guitar. The band released the album ...Get the Feelin' in 1986, and "Where Are You Now" reached #77 on the Billboard Hot 100, but left the chart the following week. ...Get the Feelin' also included the local single, "Give Love Another Try," but it did not crack the charts. Synch was soon dropped by Columbia. They spent the next few years trying to recapture the spotlight, before disbanding.

Where Are You Now
by: Jimmy HarnenAll alone tonight im calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love take me back in time
I don't know how it started
Or why it ever had to end
Something stepped inside
We didn't let it in
It's keeping us apart
Where are you now
Where are you now
Is someone there tonight
Holding what was mine
Where are you now
You wonder where I am
Are you really feeling fine
Going through my life without you by my side
You're the only thing that keeps going through my mind
And nothing that I do can take the place of you
Where are you now
Is someone there tonight holding what was mine
Where are you now, do you wonder where I am
Are you really feeling fine
Ooh thinking about you girl
There's gotta be a place for me
Somewhere in your heart
All alone tonight I'm calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love and where are you now
Where are you now
Is someone there tonight holding what was mine
Where are you now
