  • This bloke came n went like the wind here in Aust (similar to Roachford in a similar time, mid '94 to mid '95). Shame really, another underrated artist. I remember him shaving his hair off for the following album, maybe that's what caused the album failure! -daz in oz

  • i remember Eddie's Bar..

  • L.A is ok but it is 90% ghetto with a very little bit of city where the Mann's Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood stars names in the pavement are.

  • This song is so sad, it reminds me of missed opportunities...

  • i LOVE THIS SONG !!! I LOVE HIS TALENT !! HE IS CUTE TOO!!

  • JK this was a hit the moment the last words were penned...Rachel had a dream. We all have. Some of them, we act upon. Many we push out of our minds. happy is the person who fulfills at least some of the biggest ones. This song sells HOPE. I bought it.

  • wahha geweldige muziek echt waar. Maar is het echt nodig om elke keer als hans klok die haren te laten wapperen:P

  • takes me back to the love of my life...she called me from L A pulled off the xpressway just because she knew that right at that moment 2000 miles away she had to call me...and this song was playing... she didnt know that...I'll never forget that

  • it's so awful

  • GREEEEEEEEEEEEATTTT SONG!! I USED TO PLAY THIS ON MY PIANO WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. What happened to him. I miss Joshua.

  • I really love all his songs,such a talented singer,when I hear his songs I think of the same place he discribes I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why does this guy remind me of Bo Bice from American Idol?? LOl.. I think it's teh long hair.. love this song.

  • No Comment from me! ,....;-) I Like ths Song!

  • No Comment from me! ,....;-)

  • BUT, that being said, its still a beautiful song. Joshua Kadison works at a Starbucks on Beverly right now.

  • The sad thing about this song, is that the real Rachel he is singing about, moved to LA to "make it big" yet was raped and murdered by Mexican gang bangers. Apparently she tried to make it big and failed. Ended up on heroin and meth, doing nasty "piss fetish" videos in the valley. Its the same old story. They found her body in the weeds behind the Home Depot on Sunset near the 101. Happens every day. THATS the reality of Hollywood. STAY HOME. DONT COME. YOU WILL NEVER BE FAMOUS.

  • @VoodooPolitico Twisted sh*t dude. funny though.

  • @VoodooPolitico ASSHOLE!

  • My Mom said this is my song. My name Is Rachel.... And this song pretty much.... Describes me:)

  • no every word by heart!!!!

  • omg i've been looking for this

  • omg its been FOREVER since ive heard this song, i used to love it when i was 10, im now 18 and OMG its STILL awesome!!!

  • Good stuff Joshua! When you combine a good song, good lyric and your velvet voice it's a winner. Take a bow Sir!

  • schöne erinnerungen an L.A als dieser song erschien war ich zum ersten mal dort

  • too bad he's gay.

  • He's hot!!!

  • It is a woundful song......

  • the song is good :)

  • looool.

    we heard this today in our english lesson. :D

    I think he's gay. xDDD

    schlechtes englisch. XDDD

  • awesome song...brings back bittersweet memories....plus he is HOT

  • look at those long locks blowin from the fan :D

  • BEST fucking song since Billy Joel`s The Piano Man and Eagles Desperado!

    Don`t even get me started on Your Song!

    Cause Your Song SUCKS!

  • An incredibly talented solo artist..Just outstanding.

  • His music is something special and just touches a chord inside. Thank you for posting this video!

  • My name is Rachel :] I love this.

  • ope u make big Rachel:)

  • I have heared the song several times in our local radio here in germany. It is a woundful song.

  • omfg i absolutely LOVE this song...and i dont normally like softer love songs, i am a 22 year old straight male, but for some reason this song really gets to me.

    I LOVE it!!1

  • @bigal2222 strait right lol r u sure anout that lol' so ur not taken wow wat a shame no offense

  • @bigal2222 I'm straight too but why should that have to do something with wether it gets to you or not?

  • @bigal2222 same here

  • @bigal2222 same for me..... normally dont like them, about your age n male as well, yeah straight of course lol but true that this song has sth special that makes everything fall into place !!!!! :-)

  • One of his great songs. cool vid!

  • Because it has the name RACHEL in it...any song with a name usually does well. Other than that he is actually an INCREDIBLE songwriter....wrote for Elton John :) I think this song is sweet :)

  • As a radio DJ , I used to play this song all the time back in 95 ..thought I would give it another chance...still nothing

    btw any song with "Superman" in the title does really well

  • Funny how that goes huh? LOL

  • haben das lied gestern im englisch unterricht gehört

    ich finds geil

  • Geil ♥ + ♥

  • Ponty30, get your ass up from under your trailer besides your dead dog, and get a life, and grow a tail while your at it!

  • I swear I'm gonna make it, make it big someday,,,,,,,,,,and marry Ryan Seacrest in L.A.

    oscar worthy!

  • Das ist so geil...ich widme dieses Lied meinem Quetsche Böhnche aus Offebach...möge Ihr Aschenputtel Dasein bald ein Ende haben ....in Liebe der große Adler Prinz ♥

  • one of my favourites.. old but very nice :))

  • old song damn long time

  • who was that girl on that clip..?

  • Love this song thanks for taking the time to post it:))))

  • ich liebe dieses lied.

  • Comment removed

  • He sounds a little like Kurt Maloo (Double--"Captain of Her Heart")

  • I love this song since the day it came out. Imo it summarizes so many ppl's problem...livin' your dream instead of dreamin' your life. I think it's far better not to be a "Ishould've,would've, could've". Life goes by so fast - and sooner or later you'll regret what opportunities you missed. If you have a dream...just go for it.

    Me - I never regretted taking chances no matter what kind of 'risks' were involved...

  • Pretty funny my name's Rachael and I want to be an actress. I want to go to LA. :)

  • I remember this song, from when I was little, he wrote a song called Jessie, my mums name was Jessie she died 6 years ago on the 13 of this month. and my name's Rachael :) I love this song.

  • i have lived this song. Being the Dj in the club that falls for the waitress. This song rings so true. Do these girls ever reach the dreams?

  • Wow. This brings back memories. Thanks for posting!

  • Does anybody know who the actress is that's playing Rachel?

  • We will send some too....

  • how old is this song?

    I LOVE IT

  • Its from around 1993, From his album 'Painted Desert Serenade' :)

  • ohh i love it!!

  • thank you what a song

  • oh i love this song so much. thank you very much for uploading :-)

  • Beautiful video (thx for uploading) for a beautiful song.!

  • they used to play this song at least 3 times a day at my old job! i started to love it!

  • Then don't listen to it.

  • i loved this song so much i named my son joshua it brings back so many memories

  • I love it.

    This is one of my favorite songs.

  • I love love love this song....... so glad u uploaded this... :D

  • cheesy

  • NOT!!! Maybe when you grow up, you will know to treat a lady. Good Luck!!!

  • oh me for sure ferry :)

  • Nice!

  • one of the best songs ever!

  • I hope every man got an Rachel he has to think about.....

  • It's kinda sad that there are so many Rachels out there though...people with big dreams that never get realized

  • @stardappledgreen hey screw rachel if your a waitress then your a fuck already. its easier just to give up

  • @stardappledgreen Whats even sadder to me is people with simple, basic dreams that never get realized. Making it as a actress, or singer, or hitting the lottery, are dreams that rarely come true. But it really sucks to see dreams like haveing a simple basic house, having enough money to make it, those are the dreams too many of us never see come true.

  • I really like this song...awesome!

  • what a nice song!! i also like his other big hit, jesse

  • i thought beautiful in my eyes was by elton john

  • So did I, I also thought Jessie was too. I also do not know why Kadison is not more popular.

  • How Joshua Kaddison never really hit the big time is beyond me!! What an awesome voice and talented songwriter.

  • I totally agree!

  • exactly

  • @tedracefan : Many people are still homophobic. Plus, he's pretty well tied himself down to learning some flute and playing in Germany.

  • He was sending me Postcards from New york wih the TWINtowers and the Houdsonriver a long time ago.

  • OHH
