Mariah Carey - Anytime You Need A Friend 

Who is listening in 2024? ❤

Those background singers were kicking ass.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 Jesus loves you, and He never will let go❤

she’s singing from God’s perspective which makes the lyrics even more profound.

One of the most powerful and underestimated songs of Mariah Carey.

Unpopular opinion: Songs like this dont get made anymore. Never ever.

That chorus always stirs my soul and gives me goosebumps. Perfection.

Im a music producer but no one in the music industry has ever even got close to mariah's 8 octane music vocals. It's out of this world

She should've won a grammy for this song. One of the greatest pure vocal tracks of the 90s.

Mariah's songs are like a prescription that can heal any kind of illness❤️

More than 3 decades later and Mariah is still untouchable, The greatest voice of all time, There will never be another Mariah.

Vocally Maria's performance is inhuman. One of the most vocally challenging songs. She performs in such an absolute unparalleled way. Even after 30 years, we have not heard a cover that scratches Mariah's performance. The words have nothing to say, tear the soul.

Can we give it up for the gospel choir which is backing Mariah??? A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E!

One of Mariah's greatest songs of all time!

The climax of this song is insane! Your fave could never. Projected, powerful mid belts, supported, resonant, and powerful upper belts (9 supported, resonant, powerful G5's) and then that piercing and powerful whistle note in the middle of belting, her whistle note was soo powerful that it almost sounded like a belt! And she did all this in 1 climax!!!!!!!!! And she WROTE this song herself too! WOW!

Nobody should ask who’s still listening in 2024 coz we never left ❤

In her dark moments she wrote this song as what God would say...her story and courage makes her an iron fist. She's a rebel.

Who else will be listening in 2020? ❤💯

If you're lonely and need a friend And troubles seem like they never end Just remember to keep the faith And love will be there to light the way (Anytime you need a friend) I will be here (You'll never be alone again) So don't you fear (Even if you're miles away) I'm by your side So don't you ever be lonely Love will make it alright When the shadows are closing in And your spirit diminishing Just remember you're not alone And love will be there to guide you home (Anytime you need a friend) (I will be here) (You'll never be alone again) no (So don't you fear) no, no, no, no (Even if you're miles away) even if you're miles away (I'm by your side) So don't you ever be lonely Love will make it alright If you just believe in me I will love you endlessly Take my hand Take me into your heart I'll be there forever, baby I won't let go I'll never let go (Anytime you need a friend) I will be here (You'll never be alone again) no, no (So don't you fear) Don't worry, don't fear, yeah (Even if you're miles away) yes, I'm with you wherever you are (I'm by your side) So don't you ever be lonely (It's alright) It's alright (It's alright) It's alright (Anytime you need a friend) (I will be here) yes, you know it's alright (You'll never be alone again) (So don't you fear) Don't ever fear, yeah (Even if you're miles away) (I'm by your side) Don't you ever be lonely (It's alright) Yes!

2024.....no gimmicks, no sexy appeal, no dancers, just vocals and a message. Today's artist could learn something from this.

Who came here after Pose with tears streaming as Pray Tell walking into rehab..❤️❤️❤️❤️. #anytimeyouneedafriend

How doesn't this have at least 200 millions views? Breathtaking.

This song is proof that God exists because that's the only way to explain Mariah's vocal performance here.

Mariah is proof that God exists. She's a healer through her music. God bless Mariah Carey ❤

The vocals on this song are extraordinary

It´s a song written by God´s perspective. Brilliant, Mariah

2023 and this song still gives me chills... 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Mariah Carey is the greatest female singer of all time

Can't spell MUSIC without (M)ariah (C)arey

And how about that choir, huh? It's just a gorgeous song.

The best song in Mariah Carey's career. She puts forth her whole soul into the song. Great choir! Mariah and Whitney we're the best singers in the 90s. True talent from God

I believe she wrote this song about Jesus Christ.

Mariah really went to Gospel with this one she’s extremely blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

A message to the future generations..Don't let this masterpiece song die.🙏🙏❤️

One of my favorite Mariah Carey's songs. I'm crying while listening to this the lyrics and everything about this song brings out all the emotions inside of me as I am going through a very tough time right now in my life. I know I'm not truly alone and to keep having faith. Thank you Mariah for this beautiful song ❤

this song speaks to me spiritually, always on repeat.

This song isn't mentioned enough in the Mariah discography convo. She ATE this

My favorite part of the song is from 0:00 to 4:15 lol

Who else still listening to it in 2024?

She looks so beautiful in this video

This song is so fucking majestic

She wrote the song herself. I don't like people who think that she is only important on Christmas. She wrote 19 No1 hits.

One of my favourite songs of ALL time ❤ I want this song played at my funeral as i’d want my fam/friends to know that I’ll always be there in spirit 🙏🏽💜

This is a gospel song.

I'm 41 and I've been saying for years people need to put some respect on her name. She can body that high note ! 💪👏

This song saved my life, reminded me that God is always there even through the darkest times. Thank you, Mariah...forever grateful 💕

I am here from April 2024 And this is still save my life when i feel lonely. Thank you Mariah for make this beautiful and powerful song. Nothing can better than this.

God her voice brings tears to my eyes.

It's such a shame that so many people in this generation sleep on Mariah she is definitely in my top 5 favorite vocalist of all time but oh well I suppose that's their lost.

Mariah is as powerful as a storm ... and cute as a kitten.

Between this song, Make it Happen, and Fly Like a Bird, I am still here. Thank you, Mariah.

Pose really said we got budget this season.... Janet, Toni, Aaliyah and this Mariah masterpiece all in one episode!!!

Jesus is talking to us in this song... He'll be always there when we'll need Him... Just call His Holly Name, He'll be there!! God bless y'all!

Probably my favorite vocals ever recorded are on this song. That voice truly feels like a friend that's trying to uplift you. It's impossible to hold back tears of joy and emotion when listening to this masterpiece. It's really her best song.

This was the BEST Mariah. The early Mariah.

I like to think Mariah is taking about Jesus in this song.

I'm silenced and shook. Mariah's vocals are ABOVE AND BEYOND on this song.

This track wasn't #1 but it will always be one of my favorite songs from her. I love this song so much.❤❤❤🇧🇷🥰🙏

I was on tiktok and heard this and had to find and listen to the entire song. Wow! My first time at 57yrs hearing! Her vocals, the lyrics and the choir!❤❤❤

This is one of her most underrated songs. It's one of her best ballads. The lyrics, the message, THE VOCALS, the belts, the choir, the Synergy

Mariah Carey is just timeless, i will never get over her

This is what Jesus is singing to everyone of us. Come to Him for He loves you and cares for you. He died for you. God Himself died for you. He is singing this to you my brother and my sister. I love you even though I’ve never met you. Because He first loved us. He is pouring out His heart to you my brother and my sister. Surrender to His Mighty Right Arm of Salvation. His Righteous Right Hand my sister! He loves you in your darkest moment. He is there with you! The Almighty Everlasting God. He is your Father my brother! No matter what you’ve done! You are never too far away from Him to take you into His arms!

Who’s still listening in June 2024?? 🌹🎶

I used to sing and cry my eyes out to this song when my sister was in the hospital. Even after my sis passed and till this day I still cry when I hear it. I miss her 💔

her vocals are fucking out of this world

The harmony and the backup singers together are perfection 👌

Every time I listen to this song my tears flow because we used to listen to it together I miss my late boyfriend so much May the Lord God of Israel rest his soul in peace 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This song is Vocal Suicide level if you can not handle it

am I the only person who thinks this is one of her best songs ever and should have been huge? The vocals, the piano riff running through the verses, bridge and chorus pulling the song together and making it super catchy, the lyrics.. This should have been #1. I think it was better than Touch My Body tbh.

Good music is seldom appreciated. I mean a song like this should have at least over 100 million views and likes. This is good music people!!! No cussing no unnecessarily heavy beats. Just a good uplifting sound. Thank God for artists like Ms. Carey. I love you my Queen❤

It is insane to see people say Mariah is relevant only during Christmas.. She wrote this beautiful song.... need them to listen to it.

Mariah has the best tone in music history

This song is made by the spirit of God.... Praise the Most High God in Jesus' name... Amen

When songs were songs❤🎉😂

She was so good - beautiful voice, beautiful face, a true music power of the nineties.

Who is still crying to this in 2022? Thank you Mariah & you Gospal singers! 🙏🏼 A clear message from above.

The choir really gives this song the uplift that it needs

Holy Sweet Jesus that girl could SANG! I missed the 'ol MC before she started singing in that hip hop style.

This has a great vibe,I feel happy when listening to Mariah Carey's song's!!! Born legend....

"Just remember to keep the faith and love will be there to light the way". This song turns 25 yrs. today! ❤❤❤ One of the best🤙🏼

3:34 "Don't you eever be lonelyyy!" wheww, you can't touch Mariah in her vocal prime, you just can't, she just reaches into your soul and keeps a piece of it forever.

Wow! Her voice gives me chills. It feels as if I'm sitting in a church

Still listening 24 October 2023 We got a friend in Jesus ❤

Lord, when she hits that note at 3:39...Chills down the spine!! THIS is how I like Miss Mariah...Takin' it to the CHURCH!!

Girl can SING!!! Her voice is unreal. Beautiful. 💓

Every time I'm having a bad day .. I always listen to this song and it always makes me cry

One of my favorite songs ever! The message, the vocals, the arrangement. Highly underrated.

I LOVE old Mariah! And, was very lucky to have worked in this video as a kid :) I was the principle child in this music video: you can see me starting at 1:14 and then throughout. That was one of my favorite modeling moments of ALL time. Pray Mariah makes music like this again!

Wow. This is so powerful. The vocals, those growls. Mariah took us to church.

I always feel bad for idol contestants that try to cover her, Whitney, and Adele. I’m predominantly a metal guitar player and this album absolutely floored me when it came out. She’s inimitable and her gift is clearly from god! This song was clearly divinely inspired.

Love may make some things alright, But it can also be the silent killer.

I will never stop loving this song...feels new everyday

Many years ago I remember sitting at my desk writing a letter to God asking Him to send a friend into my life. About 10 minutes later I got up and went to the Office Tuck Shop which was up in the Lobby of our office building and this song came on as soon as I walked in the door. Immediately I knew it was God answering my letter❤, He is sweet & so loving❤ & so comforting❤

The choir and the backups understood the assignment! There vocals are angelic

Sheesh...everything about this song is PERFECT..Mariah yes...wow

I grew up hiding in her music from depression... her music kept me alive ❤️❤️ Thank God for being so many way of escape

this woman has the best discography in pop music. and i don't give a flying f*ck if you think otherwise

My late Dad introduced me to Mariah and she remains one of my favorite singers. This song reminds me of my Dad. Continue to rest in peace.

Man this song is still one amazing masterpiece

No grammy? how could this classic not be represented by the academy ... what a racket!
