"show in finder" not working

When I go to get info I see that the tune is "in the cloud". I want to know where it is! Want to see it in context of the album it is in. Do I actually have to go online to do that?

Is there a way to have my music library actually ON MY HARD DRIVE? Please? I've looked at preferences and it doesn't seem to offer that option.

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

If iTunes declares that an item is located in the cloud then it isn't on your computer. Use the cloud symbol related to the item to download it when you are online. Presumably if these aren't purchases then you have an iTunes Match or Apple Music subscription. Anything download via Apple Music arrives with DRM, so for those you'd be better restoring from whatever archive you have if possible.

Thanks, but I wasn't clear. These aren't items I purchased. These are items that I own and loaded into itunes in order to keep them somewhat organized. But if they aren't here, I'm not happy. Is there anyway I can have them here AND in the cloud?

I have Lightroom which keeps my photos organized. I keep the most important ones ALSO stashed in dropbox, but the rest are all here on a drive so I can see and access them whenever I need to. Only at home, of course.
