Just Out Of Reach (song)
"Just Out of Reach" is a song written by singer Colin Blunstone, first recorded by his band the Zombies in 1965. In 1965, it was clear that the Zombies were going to be featured in Otto Preminger's 1966 movie ''Bunny Lake Is Missing''. Therefore, the band had struck a deal with Preminger; he wanted three new songs by the group, recorded in the span of only ten days. During this time, the band's primary songwriters, keyboardist Rod Argent and bassist Chris White suffered somewhat from writer's block. Although White had already managed to come up with two songs, "Remember You" and "Nothing's Changed", the third song was still missing, much to the group's disappointment. Therefore, Blunstone was tasked with the final song. According to Blunstone, "Just Out of Reach" was the second composition he had written. He stated that he had "been intrigued and impressed" on Argent and White's abilities to write material, and wanted to get a stab in on it himself. Upon receiving the question on ...
