indeed❤ as we grow older and life gets more complicated, we will look deeper into some stuff like this - simplicity, purity, sweet melodies etc. well said my friend✅
Agree. It wasn't (undeservedly) as famous as other songs because it was so different from what Madonna had produced so far. A children's lullaby wasn't the kind of thing people expected when this album was released. But it really is a good, sweet song, showing a preview of what she would do in Ray of Light, that was made about the time when she became a mum.
How I miss the days when Madonna made such songs... Timeless melodies, warm & human musical arrangements, real vocals, no autotune, no generic rappers, no trends... just pure music and pure talent. Where has this artist gone ?
I mean she didn't write this song. What we fall in love with tend to be production teams even if we don't realize it. Nothing wrong with it. But it explains why they often go through such dramatic changes.
@@noonegetstheprize Yeah, I know, I'm such a bully. She's sooooo tired of me trying to force her into making music that she doesn't want to make. It's gotten to a point where she doesn't even want to look at what people are writing about her on RUclips, for fear of running into me (because yes, she DOES read our comments, since she really cares about what random strangers think). As a matter of fact, after wiping away her tears last night, she was just about to cave in and to call Stephen Bray, because she couldn't take the pressure from me anymore. Then she also read your comment, and her world brightened up. She felt vindicated, validated, loved, understood. She said, "The hell with Cicilo1983 ! I'm going to listen to noonegetstheprice instead. I'm calling [insert generic rapper of the week that no-one will care about in three months], and I'm puttin' on my iconic eyepatch again !"". You might have saved her life AND her career. Thank God for people like you.
@@Cicilo1983 LOL People can't stand other's opinions these days. I'm with you: she got lazy. Apart of her just going with the flow with the last trends, she is using up her previous successes (new -shitty- version of Frozen, new --shitty- version of Hung Up, re-release of the Sex Book). I loved her creativity back in the days. I have been fan of hers from the Like a Virgin era but I didn't even bougth her last 3 studio album, they bore me to death. I love her personality and that she makes just what she feels like, but about her current music I am not interested at all.
My dad used to play this song to me every night as a child in the early 2000s. I had it on a CD looped multiple times & every time I saw he was on the computer I’d ask him to play “pink elephants and lemonade”. Now, as an adult, I’ve moved to a different country and every time I miss him I play this song. Makes me feel right where I belong.
Ever since I was teenager listening to Madonna, I always imagined this song for my daughter. Now that I have kids, I played this song to my first born and she loves it. Until today, she is 16, she and I still listen to it all the time. It's our song. Madonna always perfects her work.
Like a Prayer contains the most eclectic, yet conceptual, group of songs. If there's an album capable to include all the possible Madonnas, past and future, that's Like a Prayer. Dear Jessie is a proof of that.
Lost an unborn daughter last year, I heard this song as a kid and it made me feel ok to get through those wonder years. I will call this Dear Michelle. Thank you Madoona been listening to alot of her songs and am really greatful she is still with us. She might drop a song anytime now. She proved she is The Queen of Pop so take your time.
I still remember vividly seeing and hearing this song when it was brand new, when I was a kid. It's a sugar covered candy-kiss that tastes like sunshine and rainbows :) I still love it and it touches me a lot. It's probably Madonna's most sweetest song ever.
This song came to me in the most unexpected moment. My mom passed away when I was an infant, so when I want to have some kind of contact with her I "visit" the street where she grew up and stop by her former home just to "be there". This always results in something abnormal happening. Last time (tonight) this is what happened. I was feeling down and wanted to hear from my mom. Five minutes after passing by her home I turned on my RUclips app to hear the presidential debate but couldn't get it and this song showed up at the top of my list. I'm a big Madonna fan and had never even heard it. My mom sent it to me when I needed to hear from her. I know I'm a dreamer, but it works for me. And my real name is Jessica so yes, even that part she got right. Thank you Madonna! amazing song and I know you lost your mom too, so the song has so much meaning. Oh Father is also one of my top ones because it also hits home in such a way. Love both. Madonna is a genius, absolutely love her work.
+Jessica Pliego Have you heard Promise To Try from this album? It's about her mother. I'm sure it would be a tough song for you to listen to; I can't listen to it without crying myself. But it's a beautiful song.
Me, too. It's the best moment on what is already a great album. The innocence of Dear Jessie is then subverted by the lost innocence and pain of Oh Father. Such art.
This album came out at the height of the AIDS epidemic, provided much comfort, assuaged the fears of many and was for lack of a better word, a true antidote for all ignorance concerning said crisis. Championing for us all, Madonna even included an AIDS awareness, educational insert. THANK YOU KINDLY.
@@karinavizcaya5094 Are you fucking serious? How far up your ass does your head have to be to not only think this, but to comment your QAnon conspiracy bullshit to a victim who had a close family member pass due to its terrible virus. You are a vile woman, and I sincerely hope you take two seconds out of your day to reflect on what you are posting/ spreading. You are spreading false information, and furthermore, nobody wants to fucking hear it, especially here.
It’s all about childhood innocence and all things good so yeah, it can be a bit emotional. I especially from this song. So underrated and under-played if at all, on the radio.
I heard this song on the radio this morning. I just realized it's a song I haven't heard in a long time. I knew it when I was a child, and it faded as I grew up. It feels a mix of sadness and joy. Finally, I found it and could remember my childhood memories again.
I sing this to my grand daughter every night. I change the lyrics and insert her name. She calls the song “baby face” and she falls asleep every time. So sweet ❤
I love when this song seamlessly goes into "Oh Father" in the album, it is just perfect the no gap between the songs, that gives a special touch to "Dear Jessie" and "Oh Father "...
I remember listening to this as a little kid on my cassette player. It is from my favorite album "Like a Prayer". Such a underestimated song but one of my favorites!
I remember hearing this song when I first bought the Like a Prayer album on cassette for my 13th birthday. The song takes me back to a confused time of my life and Madonna’s cassette was a little light and reassurance. There will never be another Madonna. Her craft is unique and her versatility is unmatched. Nothing but admiration for Madonna.
I am having a party right now. I was asked to put some Madonna on. Nobody expected this one. They all love it even if some have never heard it. A fairytale in song.
Funny you say that. huge Madonna fan here. But the original goal of LAP was to record an "easy listening album" since her people figured Pop music was stagnant and at that point Madonna had 3 pop albums, two world tours and had amassed Two #1 hits with ballads and had just finished a Broadway play "Speed the plow". So the goal was to make an album to connect with adult fans. But I dont think they quite got it right. Regardless it was a great album. The only real diff between LAP and the work prior to this was that it had more acoustic instruments like strings and brass but it was still pop music. Do you know the first 10 songs they recorded for this album were scrapped because they were deemed too "dark" and they were all about her relationship with Sean Penn?? Most of them remain unreleased but only "Oh Father" and "Til Death Do Us Part" were on this album. And "Something to remember" found its way on her next album.
Oh my God, this song is so amazing. Beautiful, innocent and warming. I'm an English teacher and I'm gonna show it to my students since I translated it and I cried. Madonna, thank you so much for your timeless art.
I had this single on 7" vinyl when I was 15. It's such a pure and gorgeous song and a rarity in that it caters to children and the child within the adult listening too and so few songs actually do. Madonna was at her height in her Like A Prayer album.
Loads of people I’ve shown this to have never heard either your not alone catchy tune reminds me of being a kid….check out Elton John’ original sin I’ve shown people that who know there music and him and have never heard it great song and story to the song aswell ✅
1987-1988-1989 were the great years when i was a student in the college Özel Ortadoğu. i had begun to learn English those days with our Madonna. Every song was a new lesson for me. The "Dear Jessy" was a very special song memorizing the lyrics which i will love forever. Thank you my teacher "Madonna".
Dear Mihai, Hehehe, thanks for your kind words about me. I am neither an Erdogan nor another name's fan aggresively...I like my country and considering and worrying about Turkey's future of course. So, i support the politicians who speak the true(s) even they are Erdogan or the others... By the way, Where are you from? Romania?
Respects. You are some right since USA plots evil plans for Middle East and of course Turkey... This military coup attempt was their desire but thanks to Allah and the Turkish citizens it failed...
Without all of Madonna songs here, this dear Jessie is and always will be my number one favorite by her. There's just something about this song that I can't get enough of.
My little sister's name is Jessie She is stuck in a wheelchair and can't walk or talk and I always dream n think of her being free in her imagination n mind. This song moves me deeply. ❤️💞❤️
Like a prayer is my favorite Madonna album. One review I read in the past described it's eclectic variety of styles as kaleidoscopic. Much of it is rooted in 60s pop and rock, as well as 70s funk. It was maybe just another attempt to reinvent herself, but I must say, true artistry was achieved here. This song was a crucial piece of the album as a whole. It makes me think of the Beatles and the Mommas and the Papas. I really love how this lullaby of a song seamlessly turns into the son Oh Father. That song is dark and emotional, yet with a theme of healing. The juxtaposition of both songs, one right after the other might seem jarring thematically, but it works beautifully. Listen to the LAP album if you haven't already!
Today is the day! 30 years ago #Madonna give to the world one of the best pop albums ever recorded Like A Prayer! Happy anniversary! 🙏🙌👏👑 #LikeAPrayer #LikeAPrayer30
This song is one of my all time favorites. When I am asked who songs this song almost everyone is in disbelief that it is Madonna. They asked when did she come out with it.. IDK sometime after like a virgin.
Behind...you can hear The sound of horses walking...sooooooo beautiful song...aaah Like a Prayer great album!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I was 15 yrs old at that time...i listen to that precious track today...Not a teenager anymore...but a 51 year old lady...
thank you ! i do not really like thi video but this song did & still does woners for me. i think of both my boys wen this be play'd now they r 16 & almost 18 & it still gets under my skin my boys know y love for Madonna but this song really gets it :-)
Brings me back to a time when I was a kid, driving my bike, listening this song on my walkman, my dad was alive... I would love to be back in those days for a few minutes before my time is out, with this song as last one I will ever hear.
That's a startling comparison. It really is like Madonna's Beatles song. With the animation as well, you can imagine this being in The Yellow Submarine.
Yep, this could have been on Sgt Pepper or Yellow Submarine and it would have gotten the credit it deserves. One of Madonna's finest. Possibly I'm biased, being a Jessica but it's one of the two songs which feature my name I actually like. The second is Jessica by the Allman Brothers.
I was just thinking this is so Beatles! Like a Prayer it's a phenomenal album that deserves to be regarded universally as one of the greatest albums ever made.
Madonna is the most versatile female artist, the look, the vocal, she can embrace all kind of genres, who cares bout perfection? music is what we listen and love, and Madonna's musics have touched our heart.that's why I love her:) edit: it is 2023 now and I rethink about this masterpiece, this song came with a great album of all time, she could go fierce like Express Yourself; being fragile like Promise tk Try & Spanish Eyes etc etc and she go sweet like this song❤ Like a Prayer album is MASTERPIECE❤❤❤❤❤ Madonna is brilliant. no one will come close like her and she is still standing and touring. she’s a human with imperfections but we must cherish her while she’s still around🌺
it's been years and now 2019 I am still coming back to watch & listen to this masterpiece. Madonna is art. there wont be another female artist like her.
Me❤ I had the album right after it was released.This song is speaking about the highest frequency that is hidden in human heart . If you operate out of this particular frequency on every day basis it will save you from today's worldly chaos❤
My cat died this year in July on the 22nd, she had to be put down because she was anemic and had leukemia, I used to play this song to her all the time because her original name was Jessie but I named her Dressy when I was 4 and she used to be really happy and purr when I played her this song. I played this song to her since I was 4 years old and I'm almost 13 now, I'm going to be that age next month in November, looking back at this makes me cry as I remember her.

I had this single on 7" vinyl when I was 15. It's such a pure and gorgeous song and a rarity in that it caters to children and the child within the adult listening too and so few songs actually do. Madonna was at her height in her Like A Prayer album.
I've been listening to Madonna since the late 90s and today December 12, 2022 is the 1st time I've heard this song!
It was the 1st song together with Cherish I heard in 1990 and I didn`t think she was something like "sex-symbol"!)))
Loads of people I’ve shown this to have never heard either your not alone catchy tune reminds me of being a kid….check out Elton John’ original sin I’ve shown people that who know there music and him and have never heard it great song and story to the song aswell ✅
My mom sang this to me as a kid-- it's weird to watch the video cuz I've had such different visions of it since I was a kid. One of the best songs.
Like a Prayer has sold more than 18 million copies
I'm 26 & my mom use to sing this to me when I was about 6. Just cried like a baby remember the comfort I felt 😭😭
A true testament, of how AMAZING Madonna's voice is. And a truly beautiful song.
Thank.you fantastic woman
Happy 60th Birthday Queen Madonna!! Thank you for this beautiful song! ♥
2:28 - 2:52 - My favourite part. I love her singing in her higher register. That bit is so good.
1987-1988-1989 were the great years when i was a student in the college Özel Ortadoğu. i had begun to learn English those days with our Madonna. Every song was a new lesson for me. The "Dear Jessy" was a very special song memorizing the lyrics which i will love forever. Thank you my teacher "Madonna".
so nicely put :)
MrRD1981 thank you dear... ✌
Mihai? Me? 😊
Dear Mihai,
Hehehe, thanks for your kind words about me. I am neither an Erdogan nor another name's fan aggresively...I like my country and considering and worrying about Turkey's future of course. So, i support the politicians who speak the true(s) even they are Erdogan or the others...
By the way,
Where are you from? Romania?
Respects. You are some right since USA plots evil plans for Middle East and of course Turkey... This military coup attempt was their desire but thanks to Allah and the Turkish citizens it failed...
Without all of Madonna songs here, this dear Jessie is and always will be my number one favorite by her. There's just something about this song that I can't get enough of.
Queen of reinvention
My little sister's name is Jessie
She is stuck in a wheelchair and can't walk or talk and I always dream n think of her being free in her imagination n mind.
This song moves me deeply. ❤️💞❤️
I was 13 in 1989, if this song doesn't touch people's souls, nothing will.....#Madonna
Like a prayer is my favorite Madonna album. One review I read in the past described it's eclectic variety of styles as kaleidoscopic. Much of it is rooted in 60s pop and rock, as well as 70s funk. It was maybe just another attempt to reinvent herself, but I must say, true artistry was achieved here. This song was a crucial piece of the album as a whole. It makes me think of the Beatles and the Mommas and the Papas. I really love how this lullaby of a song seamlessly turns into the son Oh Father. That song is dark and emotional, yet with a theme of healing. The juxtaposition of both songs, one right after the other might seem jarring thematically, but it works beautifully. Listen to the LAP album if you haven't already!
Life was far a way better when this song was released… I miss those days..
The Sweetest Pop Lulluby ever.
There is a reason why Madonna has sold more records than any other female music artist.
My mom would sing this to me when I was little. Even when I moved out I fell close to her when I hear this song even when we are miles apart.
Magical!
Samantha Pottinger Exactly. Magical Madonna....
Omg, I forgotten about this song. Her voice was so nice and fun... Love you queen
One of my favorites, miss these days of Madonna

those long forgotten times when even pop had soul :)
Today is the day! 30 years ago #Madonna give to the world one of the best pop albums ever recorded Like A Prayer! Happy anniversary! 🙏🙌👏👑 #LikeAPrayer #LikeAPrayer30
Little girl is beautiful,bet shes well into her 30s now or older and hope she made a great career for herself.
My age!
This song is one of my all time favorites. When I am asked who songs this song almost everyone is in disbelief that it is Madonna. They asked when did she come out with it.. IDK sometime after like a virgin.
A charming, underrated gem.
I believe it's the only Madonna video in which she doesn't appear (that is in her real form, not as an animated fairy).
Behind...you can hear The sound of horses walking...sooooooo beautiful song...aaah Like a Prayer great album!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I was 15 yrs old at that time...i listen to that precious track today...Not a teenager anymore...but a 51 year old lady...
Just imagine James playing this for Jessie every Valentine’s Day
Billboard 200 #1 album ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Adorable.. There is NOTHING Madonna can not do
... Or even a cartoon version of her. ;)
Age with dignity.
She can't do that.
There is nothing she CAN do, you mean.
Act in a movie
@@JP-pm8tk get fucked. You wouldn't say that about Mick Jagger or any of the other septuagenarian men who still make music.
I finally found this song on the internet and was elated to hear it once again. I love this song cheers to Madonna on a great collaboration.
thank you ! i do not really like thi video but this song did & still does woners for me. i think of both my boys wen this be play'd now they r 16 & almost 18 & it still gets under my skin my boys know y love for Madonna but this song really gets it :-)
Brings me back to a time when I was a kid, driving my bike, listening this song on my walkman, my dad was alive... I would love to be back in those days for a few minutes before my time is out, with this song as last one I will ever hear.
When I listen to a Madonna song, it makes me imagine myself inside a fantasy adventure
Queen of the 80's, 90's, 00's, and 10's decades
if the beatles had written this and george martin produced i wouldnt blink. One of Madonnas finest tunes.
That's a startling comparison. It really is like Madonna's Beatles song. With the animation as well, you can imagine this being in The Yellow Submarine.
A genius comment
Yep, this could have been on Sgt Pepper or Yellow Submarine and it would have gotten the credit it deserves. One of Madonna's finest. Possibly I'm biased, being a Jessica but it's one of the two songs which feature my name I actually like. The second is Jessica by the Allman Brothers.
I was just thinking this is so Beatles! Like a Prayer it's a phenomenal album that deserves to be regarded universally as one of the greatest albums ever made.
RIght, the strings and horns and the switch to 3/4 time in the middle part is very Beatle-esque.
Madonna is the most versatile female artist, the look, the vocal, she can embrace all kind of genres, who cares bout perfection? music is what we listen and love, and Madonna's musics have touched our heart.that's why I love her:)
edit: it is 2023 now and I rethink about this masterpiece, this song came with a great album of all time, she could go fierce like Express Yourself; being fragile like Promise tk Try & Spanish Eyes etc etc and she go sweet like this song❤ Like a Prayer album is MASTERPIECE❤❤❤❤❤ Madonna is brilliant. no one will come close like her and she is still standing and touring. she’s a human with imperfections but we must cherish her while she’s still around🌺
well said. I love music don't care about genres only my ears and soul. acdc gnr frank sinatra princess Madonna pink Elton john etc love music....
Adzetto Ciccone Yes!😊
it's been years and now 2019 I am still coming back to watch & listen to this masterpiece. Madonna is art. there wont be another female artist like her.
Who is watching this video in 2024? hands up❤😂and 2025😢
Me❤
I had the album right after it was released.This song is speaking about the highest frequency that is hidden in human heart .
If you operate out of this particular frequency on every day basis it
will save you from today's worldly chaos❤
Never saw the music video until this day and I was a teenager when this song came out/the Album I owned on cassette tape!! Lol!!!
Just played this to my 7 year old daughter and watched her smiling. Brought a tear to my eye watching the wonder in her eyes
My cat died this year in July on the 22nd, she had to be put down because she was anemic and had leukemia, I used to play this song to her all the time because her original name was Jessie but I named her Dressy when I was 4 and she used to be really happy and purr when I played her this song. I played this song to her since I was 4 years old and I'm almost 13 now, I'm going to be that age next month in November, looking back at this makes me cry as I remember her.
