Joshua Kadison - Jessie [UK Version] [HQ]

[GreatDarkSpot]

He should have gotten in the car with Moses the cat and driven as far away from Jessie as he could - and change his number so she can never find him again.

[Shenanigans33]

What happened to Moses the Cat?

[snowbell495]

hot hottie hot!!!!!!

[lemonwemon]

JESSEH.

[qasac]

It's about how he came to terms with his break-up from Sarah Jessica Parker.

True say :)

[BlueShlemon]

12 people are not called Jessie

[ClintIron]

i heard that jesse is not a woman but alcohol

calling him back tempting him to come back to drinking again

the song is a metaphor for battling alcoholism

[Ozzy6]

@helenmichellelabry

He had a cat though.........

[helenmichellelabry]

my hole life ive been doin what others say...for once i wanna do just that ,,,trailer by the sea me my dog and the sea....

[FatknackerMacca]

Love how Georgia Rain, on his Painted Desert Serenade album (which I wholeheartedly recommend if you don't have it already, not a duff track on it) reverts back to this - "Jessie sings soft as the Georgia rain..." "There's a trailer by the sea down in Mexico, we dreamed a lot about it, but we never did go..." Superb, tender songwriting.

[MsChezzab]

This was played at my nanas funeral this year.....miss you nana Jessie xxxxxxxx

[T2000Terminator]

Fabulous ..... " I'm going to the beach today now what will I bring with me? my guitar?..... nah my mouth organ? nah  I know!

[marasu66]

Long time, no see, Joshua.

[liquifex]

Good stuff



[seasideroo]

Dose this just not rock your boat ....mmmmmmmm

[Nnestrana]

daumen hoch, wenn ihr wegen benman hier seit

[DessMelissa]

I loved this song when i was little!!

[Shiplodicus]

We had this and kids now have gangsta rap... we win!

[summerbaybelle]

My guy just told me I looked like this singer and I looked it up and its a guy, fuming right now lol!

[Shiplodicus]

@summerbaybelle don't laugh, your fella is gay and you like a bloke. That is bad.

[MrHonest1000]

A very beautiful song.

I remember when it reached the charts in 1993 or so that all thought it was a new hit from Elton John. Their voices really are "look-a-like". But just this one hit wonder from Joshua Kadison...

[lizichell2]

@MrHonest1000 Listen to his other stuff too. It's all on iTunes. He is far more talented that all the dross being sicked out of todays charts.

[XXXxKimmie]

Like this song <3

[mirjam184]

9 Dummies have no music taste

[andylea1988]

Its weird this song, cause it sounds a kinda cross between Elton John and Brian Adams almost, has that rock vibe to it, but also that acoustic vibe that Elton John's songs do have...

Still its a great song, wonder what ever happened to this guy... maybe he's at a trailer by the sea...

[juancogol]

@andylea1988

couldn't agree more. Regards

[Boukene]

It's a boring song but really well done.

[findpeace1000]

angel sing!!!



[Indiancrab]

Thumbs up

[shelly0453]

Apparently, this song is about Sarah Jessica Parker. They were an item & he wrote this when they split.

[wvmagickman]

@shelly0453 The song was performed by Joshua Kadison, but was originally composed by an unnamed artist and sold to Joshua Kadison in 1992

The person named Jessie in this song was rumoured to be Sarah Jessica Parker, with whom Kadison was involved at the time. But later it was revealed to be about the unnamed artists lover Jessica from Harrisburg PA.

[Ayatron34]

OMG It's Fabio!

[kezzer2]

USA site blocked me..WTF?

[catchpolee]

if u was born in the late 80's u wernt a teenager wen this came out, i was born 79 and was 14 wen this came out, thats a teenager

[fitzgivesfits1]

This is classic story telling, at the time of it's release, it was a throwback to the 70's. I compare this song to Billy Joel's "Piano Man" which was originally released in 1975. 

[moonselene31]

whatever happened to this guy??

[Susannekaffeekanne]

@moonselene31 He became Braveheart and played in an epic film ;)

[Ingridhw]

Love this song, but the video is so cheesy!

[gabrieltenon1]

Hands up if you were born in the late 80's and spent your teenage years in the 90's listening to this kind of music!

[chuggers96]

Nostalgia

[Ninaaa1288]

touches my heart.. so wonderful <3

[meertje121995]

beautiful song <3

[moonfloated]

cool ;-)

[badalandabadbad]

Love how the piano playing in the video doesn't match/sync the piano music in the

song. Really noticeable at 3:08.

Lovely song though, never gets boring. Instrumental is beautiful too.

[clubmate80]

how times are changing: these guys that then pretended they're soft now act hard

[clubmate80]

I heard he got cancer and has to die.

[salomefalome]

aller beste lied..juhu.. ;-))

[biggingeryeti]

This song always used to play on the love hour late at night, I can remember listening to it as I slowly fell asleep.

[22AngelWingless]

This song always reminds me of the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Jessie is exactly like Holly the main character. And there's also the cat (Moses) and Mexico.I love that movie. As well as this song. It's just amazing. Why aren't there songs like this one written anymore ? Sorry for my bad english....i'm from germany...^^

[nettieheartful]

This is the best version!

[MishaAtreides]

I still think of her whenever I hear Jessie playing....

[Cuotita]

Singers and songwriters like these should be clonated for the convenience of the humanity. How lovely this is? Makes even characters like "Jessie" look romantic.

[kabwedee]

i have a 'Jesse' i just hate/love her so much... Bitter/sweet relationship

[salomefalome]

bester song 

[clarabarker]

I've always loved this song...... I have a 'Jessie' too who always knows just when to call. He's my official muse for more songs than anyone else on my album. I start thinking in lyrics as soon as we get together :) x

[jjessiiii]

awesomeness

[1oliviadan]

i love this song it reminds me of my boyfriend lol.

[Beatboxcity]

Beautiful song. I really like it. But i need to say Joshua looks a little bit like Evan Stone :D

[tieran2009]

@Beatboxcity Now, THAT is a visual I didn't need!!! Thank goodness I haven't eaten yet! :p

[narpos]

God, how i missed this song... just found it again! ;)

A good friend of mine always sang it with me years ago.

she passed away 3 years ago and every time I hear it I have to think of how much fun we had together :)

[Graiguecullen1798]

@narpos What a lovely memory of your friend x

I have similar memories, songs like this can be bittersweet...

[Lilbizkit]

Is the cat called Moses or Jesse? Does anybody have a picture of the cat?

[CrAsHBaNdIcOoT01]

@Lilbizkit The cat is Moses, and he's in the video. At about 2:01

[Ggdivhjkjl]

Just reminded me why this is my favourite song 8)

Anyone know if there's a clip to the sequel (ie Georgia Rain)?

[granetok]

SKYRADIO! 101 FM!

[vonali73]

one of the best song of all the times !

[Disco58]

Hmm, I think I like this version of the video better than the original clip. I find it very interesting that so many younger people like the 70's, 80's and 90's music, saying it has so much heart that today's 'music' lacks, yet people like Lady Gagme and the gangsta rappers are so popular. THIS is good stuff, classic story songs. And by god, he's playing a real piano.

[Brithanny79]

Great! I love this song.

[genesisisok]

Beautiful, timeless classic.

[yourcutelovejessie]

thats my name dont wear it out :D

[SaMgRaHaM1994]

now this song is older than me but nowa day music needs songs like these back. from awsome songs like these to lady gaga? id pick songs like this anyday anytime any place

[lyricistgirl]

I love this song so much! Ever since I first heard it. I called my cat Moses because of it too.

[3lcapitan0]

schwul

[HotRadioDJ]

i really love this song! because i actually sound good singing it in the shower. lol

[GrimSqueaker1985]

@HotRadioDJ Its true. its a shower sing along classic

[michellevienna]

havent we all been there. Been so in love with someone, ready to do anything for them...yet you dont really seem to be part of their plans.....until they change their mind....and change their mind again.... and we just take 'em back. until it all happens again 5 months down the line!

beautiful song....

[Cuotita]

@michellevienna totally, there is always someone in everybodys life, that behaves that way, perhaps it helps you to value the one who's steady with feelings and plans.

[christianohnesorge]

Fan vad bra denna låten är

[Sally3Bee]

Phew - he was gorgeous - and a brilliant track too.

[lyricistgirl]

@Sally3Bee

Wasn't he just! I don't remember seeing him before but yeah, amazing!

[NinLeni]

das schönste Lied auf Erden...

beautifulest song ever ♥

[SexyLilLezNTx]

I remember this song like it was yesterday. I cant believe its already been 17 years. Wow how time does fly. "Jessie" is an amazingly written ballad. The song will ring true in any era. There will always be that one person who you love with all your heart. That you will do anything for them. There is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING like love. Love is the best drug.

[ButterBlossoms]

thanks for uploading, appreciate it!

[binaliciouz]

i learn this song in my guitar lesson ^^

[2009Denisem]

Brilliant indeed!

Thank you @kezzer2 for an awesome share

Thank you tboy24 for a great post!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

[geneintheuk]

Great tune.

[DoroUndead]

a wonderful song for sarah jessica parker ♥ :)

[Tinkerbellbaby70]

I named my beautiful grey persian cat after this song and she is still alive! This song is truly unique and just a beautiful ballad. Makes me teary seeing this clip after so long.

[ballerfications]

This is music at its finest.

[Hisr6]

En my name is: Jessica.. (afkorting Jessie) xd

[bebky]

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!

[zzz1980zzz]

Guys,

Is it just me but, this song simply cheers me up when being faced with the grim reality of work and modern society and the likes... Kind of a gettaway of just packing everything together and making off to a new beginning, some place else... (quite possibly the same shit as here though!)

[brittjee100]

gedraait op de begrafenis Van me little boy jesse :(

IK hou van je lieverd!!!

[Cookienalah]

einfach super....

[sopjob10]

timeless <3

[ADreamAbove]

How I wish radio still played songs like this... one of the few that make me smile in spite of everything.

He's gorgeous, too. But the song is always king.

[bambiiinaa1]

sooo great! =)

[peacefulrushhh]

still great to ear! :)

[Blaze05100]

wounderfull track =)

[Shortie4770]

I am pretty certain he doesnt look like he did so many years ago..but dude is HOT !!! Love the long hair!!  uughhh

[bootyful31]

this is one of my all time favourite songs, gives me goose bumps when i hear it x

[MiloradBekrija]

this song is for Jessica Parker?

[Sayonara69]

yes. He wrote it for her. He had been with her for a while.

[Naphilia]

Right.

[Naphilia]

Right.

[miXXtwilight]

because of this song, my parents thought about calling me jessie :D i was born in 1993 and they found the song so beautiful :) love it!

[jmlister]

He was so hot bk then lol but he is great and I love this.

[x1XchiqqaX1x]

This song is the best and he´s soooouuuu hot *-*

[gwijnen]

i was born on this song in 1996

[Sayonara69]

Excuse me, what do you mean you were born on this song???

[Frederikah109]

i was born on dat year

[Yvettka14]

he has nice hair O:-) and smile and voice :-)

[cjs33139]

Damn, Joshua looks very sexy and hot here. What a hot body and love him barefoot.  I am so glad he is out as a bisexual. A true man who doesn't care what people think about him. Doesn't make him any less manly to admit he finds men as well as women appealing. I like you Joshua.

[Bernson]

Did anybody notice that he air piano's at the end! Ha ha!

[cogbuster3]

That's the best part of the video lol

[LoveYahToMuch]

me name :D

[thatsmadebyme]

I love how he plays the piano!!!

[MrOntopoftheworld]

this song is so beautuful. everyone has had a "Jessie" at some point in their lives. Sarah Jessica Parker is lucky to have such a gorgeous song about her.

[Khalekan]

I never knew this song was about SJP.

[prinzpartyone]

It's still isn't about SJP, that's just a rumor, which was posted on wikipedia.

Joshua Kadison, said in an interview that he never met SJP and didn't wrotethis song about her.

[Drvacc]

La debió haber escrito super enamorado !

Linda canción, siempre me ha gustado muchísimo...

[MissLeahClearwater]

I love this song so much hear it every day =)

[LadyGaGa26792]

there are tears in my eyes when I hear this

[9mascalzone]

la dedico ad una persona che si chiama jessy.... solo per lei

[Seanogoals]

Really class singer and another beautiful song by him.

Doesn't quite beat "Beautiful in My Eyes" which is real quality.

[MsCaptainJaneway]

Lovely song and the guys nice 2 love at 2 lol with a sweet voice : )

[dancehall92]

he wrote the song for is ex-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker ! nice guesture

[videostarish]

I think this is absolutly brilliant!!! just makes me want to pack-up, & go to the beach, and live in a caravan with my girl friend,and a cat!!..... I've looked for this song for ages,since I heard it back in '99, could'nt quite remember the artist, untill latley....!?

[rosekarroum]

he is so beautifull

i dont care how old he is he probably still looks the same!!! all my childhood memories was with his songs

U R THE MAN JOSH

[JuliaWitte]

[vikkis703]

[LOCKJAW321]

BEAUTIFUL SONG, BEAUTIFUL MAN !!!

[TonyDogzzNYC]

it doesnt get any better..so soothing.....lyrics are great!!

[MsCaptainJaneway]

I agree Gynie75

[Gynie75]

Brilliant song. This sort of ballad appears to have fallen by the wayside in the last few years, a fact which my heart tells me is not a good thing at all. The art of telling a story through a song may die without it.

Just a thought.

[ohmandy3]

Good observation, Gynie75. And regrettably accurate.

[HeroicDreamNr1]

@Gynie75 you are soooo right!!! a songwriter should really be a story teller! and i think that today most lovesongs are sooo damn featherbrained and dull, this song really shows what music is about: passion and emotion.

[XxMrsJarJarxX]

I love this song... but I think of an other boy and an other girl...<3 awesome song

[DoroUndead]

its wonderful and by the way he is really beautyful :)

[dragonfitter]

he makes me a little bit gay

[FAITHandLOGIC]

He's Bi so you may have a chance.

[RadiirGumii]

vool das süüße Lied :-O

[ramiller89]

You have no idea how long I have been trying to figure out how and what the song is called!!!  FOREVER!!! like 3 yrs!!

[Bebieh1987]

You all didnt know for who this song is made for! But I know it :D

Sarah Jessica Parker ;)

[wasssoxx]

And I am that Pole and, yes, I am a trucker, but I shave...

[riocalabd]

This guy blows pole.And Jessie is probably some hairy arsed trucker.Great song though.

[TheSvenO]

this is the cheesiest song I have ever heard

[clairep05]

This is a song that will always bring me back to my childhood. No idea why. But i absolutely love it. Never gets old!

[muffles36]

i agree bud

[warumliebe]

ich liebe diese lied es ist so toll!!!!

[muffles36]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dreamonmese]

Wonderful Song dream go on ***** stars by Mese.

[euan112358]

[southparkLfc]

apparantly he was gay

[t850]

...great song...<3 <3 <3...

[1966mybestyear]

He is gorgeous, I agree! I missed this cracker when first released. Only discovered it in 2007 - where was I? It would be a desert island disc for me.

[bsumm22]

8----- ~~~ :-)

[bsumm22]

That is one sexy man. I want to paint a picture all over joshua's face. :-)~

[ohmandy3]

He is absolutely gorgeous!

[dazzac25]

What a wonderful song!! A very talented man indeed.....

[jarileigh]

I'm confused, WIKI says he came out in 2004 as gay, but it doesn't say anything about "Jessie" being Sarah Jessica Parker ? Is "Jessie" a person? Because he also mentions a "Jessie" in his song "Georgia Rain"? Anybody know?

PSHe does sound a bit like Elton!
