"Where You Want To Be [Original Demo Recording]" is a b-side that should have been placed on a Darren Hayes album but was limited to a now out of print single instead. It is my favorite Darren Hayes recording, and for good reason. The beautiful production of keyboards, piano, and acoustic guitar make this 6-minute demo recording sound more like a finished studio product.

The A-side, "I Miss You", is a solid single release, with the "Dallas Austin Mix" giving it a little extra boost. The Madonna "Holiday" remix of "Crush On You" is a welcomed addition even though it sounds a bit too amateur with the vocals drowned in the mix. This single release is an example in which a b-side shines above all the rest. If anything, "Where You Want To Be" should have been placed on the 'Spin' [2002] album and released as an A-side on it's own. It really is that brilliant.

Try hunting down a copy of this single and you won't regret adding one of Darren's best recordings to your collection. I'm not even that big of a fan, but I find this "demo" to be his best song. Hopefully, one day the track will be featured with more exposure on a future album release.

This is worth getting just so that you have a copy of the song "Where You Want to Be". It's an amazing melody that anyone can relate to. His words are piercing and really hit you hard so be prepared to be moved.

Another very nice solo cd you must have if you've rediscovered and fallen for this perfect songwriter. Do it! You won't be sorry.

I've followed Darren's career for a few years now and his voice just keeps getting better an better- This is the type of song that his long time fans will recognize. Beautiful lyrics- soft romantic sound...

This is a great single, this is one of my favorite songs off the Spin album, I love it!!! With each single it just keeps getting better and better.
