"I Heard Your Voice In a Dream" is an original song introduced in the eighth episode of the second season of the musical TV series Smash, entitled "The Bells and Whistles". It was written by Andrew McMahon,[1] but in the show's universe, it was written by songwriting team Jimmy Collins (Jeremy Jordan) and Kyle Bishop (Andy Mientus) for their Hit List musical.
In the episode, the Hit List team is working on staging the song, but Jimmy and Derek Wills (Jack Davenport) are clashing, with Derek wanting a lot of production including video screens and Jimmy wanting something much simpler. In the end, they come to an agreement on using dancers. The song is staged with Jimmy as Jesse symbolically struggling through a mass of people to get to the love of his life Amanda, played by Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee), who has stolen his songs and is performing them in concerts.
The song was released as a single to digital retailers and has sold 10,000 digital downloads as of April 3, 2013.[2]
