Dude. Whatever root you’ve tapped into, hold tight. Don’t let some addiction or behavior or mind eff take this away. You have found the magic of a prolific bard and the quality is even more humbling than the quantity.🙏🏻
@ I like ren pretty well. I have linked a bunch of people to his stuff. It’s a bit too reminiscent of a live in girlfriend who thinks about self removal too often and is addicted to cutting and self harm. He’s depressing af, but a very talented artist. I can definitely see why gen z likes him so much .
Literate and lyrical again, my man. New favorite line “I saw Atlas teaching Peter and his pals all how to shrug” and another banger of a chorus. So glad the algorithm sent you my way brother
Man I’m so glad Jesse’s smoother voice is coming through in bits. I’m down with it all but it is impressive the control he’s shown in his voice through all the bands and all the different types of songs. Such a great singer/songwriter and musician (he can shred)
I am almost seventy six years old and I love this young man’s writing. His singing is also quite good, very engaging. Undoubtedly he will rise to the top if true talent is still recognized in our troubled land.
man idk where you are pulling these songs from with such consistency, but I feel them in depths within myself that I honestly forgot about for some time. thank you for keeping us grounded, friend.
The muses never leave you, Jesse Welles. Always both quantity and quality. My family and I have loved every single song you make and I strongly believe you carry the voice for our times. Thank you for all that you do!
Epic of Gilgamesh! Great mix of historical mythology in your song. Very nice to hear a student history creating songs of the past and relating it to modern times. Well done! Well done!
Oh lordy Jesse. Why did you have to go make me cry this early? I just want to tell you that I've seen a lot of things in my almost 72 turns, and we are stronger than we think we are. Life is fluid, and if we hang on just a moment, things will change. I'm sending you a healing hug today. Jelly Roll says, "I'm not ok, but everythings gonna be alright." In these uncertain times, I have to believe that. ❤
"Some say the dead will rise again. Maybe they will, if just to vote. I'd rather be that son of darkness, then to know and pretend I don't" Great lyrics..
I’m a new fan. I heard the Walmart song and thought you were funny and clever. Since then I’ve been down the rabbit hole and listened to all of your songs I can find. You’re now one of my favorite musicians. Thanks for the great music.
Incredible song. Might be my favorite from you yet. "I'm going where the folks are kind and there's good sunshine and the air's alright even if I gotta make it all up in my mind" ...instantly reminded me of the dystopian ending to Terry Gilliam's "Brazil"
So, John Denver is my cuz. I grew up on his music. It's heartfelt, poetic, and was divinely inspired. It always took me to a special place in my troubled mind. Early Tom Waits takes me there. Jesse, your songs resonate and you can take people to this place. Thank you, nephew. ✌️
You are working so hard putting out video after video with each day's new song better than the day before. I appreciate you so much. You deserve all the recognition you want. Thanks Jesse Welles. You are helping people get through these hard times.
I was just sitting on my sofa listening to this song and tears started welling up. Jesse you are the real deal. Thank you so much for being you, and keep on being you brother. ❤
You know it's a good song when, the song stops playing and you just sit there waiting as your mind slowly comes back to the surface because the lyrics were so deep. That happens a lot here on Jesse's channel, and that is why we all keep coming back.
Both. Ten plus years in labor but he’s full on now. Like Steve Martin said “Be so good. They can’t ignore you.” His rock stuff is great but these musical commentaries with mostly unbiased lyrics transcend any mere “protest” songwriting
Man this guy is taking me back to my roots on music... Forgot how good it feels to listen to calm sounding music with a meaning within the lyrics.. Thanks Jesse for making this amazing music
They got ballots in the mail before supplies… the dead and missing will cast votes 🗳️ 💔… the land grab is sickening. We love you and glad you’re “ok” ✨💖✨ shrugging with the world on your shoulder?… but hey, is that an open mind in your pocket? I’d love to blow it… from your favorite dark daughter. smile. Chin ups are the best workouts. 🌞🌻
🙏East Tn here & the Nolichucky River is a wreck now.. they're trying to fix our dam back, etc.. I seriously needed this whole day of just listening to Jesse after seeing alot of our devastation just around here today
I knew about your music because of Oompaville, but I saw your song We're All Gonna Die today and I decided to finally give you a listen. I'm very glad I did. Thank you for imparting such wisdom, have a nice day, and stay safe brother.
@@OklahomaCrying Oh, he just gets a lot of Jesse Welles' videos in his TikTok recommended and always makes a point to give him a shout out when he shows up in his TikTok reaction videos.
This song is so sad and depressing, but I can't stop listening to it. Jesse please get your songs published and get your future sorted because the world needs you to be around spreading all the truth for the kids of today, who never knew life before tech. The chorus you sing just makes me float on a distant cloud with Drift Away making me feel nostalgic and very sad at the same time
Oh maaaan, listened to this one like 5 times back to back. Like everyone always says your lyrics are the best and I love how you transition each section. The harmonica adds sch a nice texture and great to see you able to invest in some new instruments. Was really nice to hear some of your traditional vocal tones come through again as well. Please don't stop dude, you're keeping so many of us happy and whole! Big love my dude from the UK
Your authenticity relocates me to this space that is not only sublime but entertaining via comedic honesty. There’s no comparison I can make. An echelon all your own. Humility hopefully is terra firma within. I wish whatever wishes you’ve for yourself be granted, so wish well. I think you’re better than the s*** man
Interesting Idea For Such a Powerful Piece of Literature I had to Listen to it 3 or 4 times thought i Didn't Care for this one but its Creeping up on me Keep em Coming Jesse
I am older...still scratchin' my head, mumbling, that can't be right 😁 what year is it this year tonight?! 😁 Your peaking, it's just flowing out of you & beautiful to behold....thanks again Mr Welles...sitting in my old tin teepee, water heater just sh*t the bed...broke & broke in half...not one thing after another, it's SSDD, all the time, life is struggle...different struggles, but same struggle, what we all have in common, we struggle, suffer, and each one's pain is their own, unquantifiable - then I come over here, listen to your music and it's like Ahhhhh, thanks, I needed that...off to heat water, to do dishes, while husband puts on another hat, plumbing hat today, likely electrician hat too, poor man has too many damn hats...I'll cheer in the background, Brad, Brad, he's the man, if he can't fix it no one can! Yep, poverty is the Mother Of Invention 😁 Wonder what it would be like to have a rich person's struggles...nah, f*** it, I'm good, it's all good, I'm a tough old broad...your music sure helps though...and hmmm, thinkin' blueberry muffins, yep, blueberry muffins, strong cup of joe you could stand a spoon in & Jessie Welles playlist...ah- ite then... all'ya'all stay chilly,yah hear me here? 😁
This is just amazing. The harmonica is so incredibly fitting here. Always so nice to see/hear new songs. This kind of pure artistry is exactly what the world needs in this time.
Your songs always seem to come at just the right time for me. Either you’re a wizard, or you have a grasp on something fundamental about what it means to be human. I guess people have a lot more in common with each other than we think.
Over and over for a week dude, I do a cracking version of this tune now man . Think this is your hit Jesse, it’s perfect mate. I’m in doubt that a better tune could be crafted tbh. Properly in awe of you man, love your songs.
I'm loving Jesse down here in Australia. The first song I loved to sing was "that can't be right" now I love this one. I've waited years for someone like this.
I have a big meeting today, everyone makes 3-4 times more than me and that much back up too. They are playing in my trench which they only talk about. And the lifting thing is too much, mri-bad back, learn to new exercise, today for healing. I think Jesse visits us all in some pagan ritual to write songs for us! Thank you
Just Truth! Absolutely beautiful! Great writing, love the Gilgamesh epic wove into the present time and we realize nothing changes. So long its been good to know ya......lol brilliant!
Yo Jesse come back to Pittsburgh area next tour but maybe a smaller town so us poor folk don't have to pay for expensive resold tickets much love I would love to see you live
Dude. Whatever root you’ve tapped into, hold tight. Don’t let some addiction or behavior or mind eff take this away. You have found the magic of a prolific bard and the quality is even more humbling than the quantity.🙏🏻
Perfect comment
Well said that green man. 👏
Listen to Ren, uk
You're welcome 👍

The best lyricists living on our planet today. I am pretty sure there will be a day when we can proudly say that we've lived the rise of a legend.
our boy singing the new world into being
And we get to help.
Amen. What can we do to help???
Child, you are too much. Which one of the greats’ souls reincarnated into you, little brother? This is too good. You are too good. 🙏
watch out Jesse, you're getting invaded by a building!!
Look behind yoooouuu!
That's funny😂
Or something a lot darker? Jess us light lovers don’t want you to disappear off the left flap of the fold.
Urban sprawl strikes again...
It's a relatively small building
When you have to stop everything because Jesse Welles just released his *second* weekly instant classic 😮
Literate and lyrical again, my man. New favorite line “I saw Atlas teaching Peter and his pals all how to shrug” and another banger of a chorus. So glad the algorithm sent you my way brother

I don't understand how you can make so much good music all the time. You are an enigma.
So, John Denver is my cuz. I grew up on his music. It's heartfelt, poetic, and was divinely inspired. It always took me to a special place in my troubled mind. Early Tom Waits takes me there. Jesse, your songs resonate and you can take people to this place. Thank you, nephew. ✌️

Jesse so deep, he got us wondering what a brick building means. Y’all know that building ain’t there by mistake.
It means he's on tour.
And he is on tour lol

"maybe we'll get it when we're older, I feel older" I'm 32ys old and I feel this with my whole soul 😓

@@marymimi11 Damn might as well end it now. 😪
@@tygerlillee what do you mean by "end it now"?
I was just sitting on my sofa listening to this song and tears started welling up. Jesse you are the real deal. Thank you so much for being you, and keep on being you brother. ❤
Oh my goodness ! How does he KEEP on writing such meaningful songs … genius 🌟
A musician, a poet, *and* a philosopher...Jesse is my favourite Renaissance Man.
You know it's a good song when, the song stops playing and you just sit there waiting as your mind slowly comes back to the surface because the lyrics were so deep. That happens a lot here on Jesse's channel, and that is why we all keep coming back.

@@noproblemguitar7395 preach brother! he's amazing. this song alone is incredible. Plus he looks like a young William Dafoe.. how cool is that?
@@billpence5444 "Hold On" broke my heart so bad I made a lesson so people can spread it's positive message
Absolutely fantastic! I love this kid. Raw talent.
Most of your songs make me smile so big. Sometimes even shed a tear. Thank you Jesse.
The ship is sinking, but that does not mean we have to drown...
It's going to set us free 🙏💕
Learn to swim 🏊♂️
Probably get eaten by sharks.
they wondered how they'd navigate
the pit their slaves had dug
I saw Atlas teaching Peter and his Pals all how to shrug...
Damn!
One of the most beautiful songs yet. Feels both new and old. Great work Jesse and thank you
Goddamn Jesse... I love all of your songs, but... Man. This one is special. Bless you sir.
"Going where there folks are kine, and there's good sunshine, and he is alright, even if i gotta make it up in my mind" man what a bar brother.
Songs from the Edge of the Abyss. Jesse helping us look. But hey, man! We got each other.
You're the end of a very, very long drought.
7 hours later and this is my new favorite song.
You don’t know how much I needed this song.
Neither did I until I’d listened.
Halfway into the first verse and I’m already blown away by the power of his imagination. Ok I will be quiet now.
Wow! This song is absolutely perfect. Great stuff. I consider myself fortunate to even hear this brilliant artist
You inspired me to play my guitar after years of drought. Your songs are beautiful works of art. ❤️
Please don't ever stop being you! Your music hit harder than anything and gets me through these rough days! Thank you Jesse!
This one stopped me in my tracks. Just incredible, man.
💙🩵💙
Another KILLER tune. I am in completely staggered at how prolific and profound your stuff is! Keep it UP!!! Cheers
Man this guy is taking me back to my roots on music... Forgot how good it feels to listen to calm sounding music with a meaning within the lyrics.. Thanks Jesse for making this amazing music
i always remind myself words that you said , 'be kind to your neighbor , havegrace where it's lacking' ❤❤❤❤❤❤
His face is priceless when he drops a line he knows is amazing 🤌
Lyrics hit differently every time .. never cease to amaze! 🥰

It's time brother. Home is coming back to us.
Imagine if the real plot twist was that the building was a green screen using the forest and we've all been bamboozled
This song brought me to tears, it's so beautiful.
This one hits like a freight train. I feel older too
this hit me in a place that very few pieces do... made me sob- thanks jesse❤️🔥🙏
This song is so sad and depressing, but I can't stop listening to it. Jesse please get your songs published and get your future sorted because the world needs you to be around spreading all the truth for the kids of today, who never knew life before tech.
The chorus you sing just makes me float on a distant cloud with Drift Away making me feel nostalgic and very sad at the same time
He has 2 folk albums and 1 rock album on Itunes. I prefer the folk albums.
Today is my 72nd birthday, and "I feel older" too. Gorgeous song, Jesse. Thank you!
This song is so good man. I can’t stop listening to it. Best work.
Jesse you really are a gift. Thank you for another piece of art. ❤
What a beautiful melody with this one. Keep it up Jesse!
Lord. Wise beyond your years. Thank you for being this vessel. I feel so blessed just getting to witness this.
I love you, Jesse. I'm thankful for your continued soundtrack for the great awakening and return.
I’m truly moved! That chorus hits so hard!

Had to listen to this one twice in a row, absolute banger.
I always listen to all his songs at least twice. So far I'm on my fifth listen of this one!
this might be my favorite Welles classic yet... just wish I could stop crying while watching and listening to this on repeat... im in a bad state lol
Keep listening and let it wash away as much as it can, friend. Good luck to you!
Wow! That is a very moving song, the acoustics are good there too. Thanks
writes lyrics and sings like an old soul in a young man's body...Peace to You Jesse...sing on
the hoard of weeping crocodiles
scrolled upon their tech
while the pageant of the reptiles
charted new unfathomed depths 🐊
Do you think he's talking about the shape shifters?
Thx again Jesse!
I needed that this morning.❤

Too windy to make a good recording without a windbreak

Your songs always seem to come at just the right time for me. Either you’re a wizard, or you have a grasp on something fundamental about what it means to be human. I guess people have a lot more in common with each other than we think.

Another day, another Jesse banger to add to my playlist. Chefs kiss 👨🍳
This one made me emotional. 😢❤ Wonderful song, Jesse.
Really beautiful song! Immediately, one of my favorites appreciate you sharing your art!
My favorite song of the decade, left me in tears.
Seamless integration. Many thousands of years between two things, laid on the altar of history. A strange and beautiful shape.
Really incredible so glad I found his music. Best songwriter in the last awhile. Keep going Jesse
I have a big meeting today, everyone makes 3-4 times more than me and that much back up too. They are playing in my trench which they only talk about. And the lifting thing is too much, mri-bad back, learn to new exercise, today for healing.
I think Jesse visits us all in some pagan ritual to write songs for us!
Thank you
The mythology and occult knowledge hidden in his work is outstandingly beautiful...
He didn’t feel like walking today so he stepped outside haha such an emotional one with rich lyrics!! Love you so much buddy!!!!
Just Truth!
Absolutely beautiful! Great writing, love the Gilgamesh epic wove into the present time and we realize nothing changes. So long its been good to know ya......lol brilliant!
I don't see how the gilgamesh epic weaves into the stuff about modern times. the union boss is gilgamesh or enkidu or neither?
If feel blessed whenever I see you’ve uploaded a song. Thank you Mr. Welles.
💙🩵💙
Yo Jesse come back to Pittsburgh area next tour but maybe a smaller town so us poor folk don't have to pay for expensive resold tickets much love I would love to see you live
Holy crap! I just listened to America, Girl and somehow missed this one. I don't know how this much talent gets funneled through one soul. ❤
I love the Epic of Gilgamesh and I love you for finding meaning in it so many years later 🫀 keep on keeping on dude
Hitting just right today Jesse, thank you
