“How I was supposed to know my soul was gonna grow into a big soul flower, the only thing it needed was a big ol sun and the occasional shower”- one of my favorite lyrics I’ve ever heard
You better watch out, Jesse Welles. You may just mess around and start a revolution with powerful lyrics such as these. Don't stop, youre going to go down as a fucking legend, my friend! Just watch. Unbelievable, sir!
Dude - you released this vid 30mins ago and I'm almost the 1300 viewer. You seem to be just a normal dude playing guitar and writing sick songs - but you need to know the following you now have. Your tunes are bonkers. Don't sell-out - keep writing intense, current, and intricate lyrics. You're insane man - keep putting the work in - you're slaying it. It's gonna be worth it. Singer of a generation(s) right here.
Apparently he was in the band Welles. Which I've heard a few of their songs. I didn't realize it was him though til like 2 days ago when someone on TikTok brought it up
@@zebfox011 relax dude - we’re giving him compliments. Sorry we don’t all know his life story like you do. This guy rocks and regardless of his current status, he needs to be bigger. Just chill man - we’re all on the same team here.
Nice sampling of masayoshi takanaka. That riff was awesome, I relate with this song so much. His songs make the rainiest days the sunniest. That whole Brazilian infused album is amazing.

Love the Takanaka inspiration, I recognized the riff immediately and you blended it beautifully. You make me want to learn guitar again just to play your songs.
absolutely beautiful Masayoshi Takanaka reference. For those wondering this is the song he keeps pulling the Takanaka refrain from Oh! Tengo Suerte it's the first riff on his album All of Me and the intro to the song. Fantastic Album. Jesse Wells truly has great taste - this is one my favorite albums of all time.
Being 54 years old and a huge music fan all my life, I can honestly say that to hear the first 30 seconds of a song and it to connect straight away with your heart and soul is very very rare...This tune is one of those very rare occassions. Great lyrics, great composition, a dude obviously lovin' the shit out of what he's doing, whats more perfect. Beautiful to see and hear. Thankyou so very much bro 🙏

Jesse your songs make me cry man, I've been seeing your stuff since the moment you first uploaded on youtube. I'm usually at each video in the first 20-30 minutes. I love everything you do, originals, covers, all of it. You're such a breath of fresh air, and as a seriously major Takanaka fan I can't help but just appreciate this song. Musician of a decade speaking, absolutely can't get enough of your music. Thank you so very much, please do what makes you happy, and keep bringing light into this world.
@@DestroyedAngel Yeah I actually checked out a lot of his other stuff about a month or two ago, absolutely astounding the sheer contrast in application of musicality from this and his past projects.
I've never seen an artist come out of left field with so many incredible songs back to back to back. Just a dude with his yellow Stella putting a voice to all our anger and fear about the state of the world.
Please for the love of God release this as a single or on an album so I can listen to it easier. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. Love from Los Angeles, Jesse.
I am genuinely curious how releasing it as single or album would make it easier to listen to. Would it just then be on a platform that you use more often? I just use TH-cam for music all the time and I never use any other service anymore
I wonder what it took -- living in the art commune, personal battles with existential threats, a thespian/lyricist family background, a really fucking grounding psychedelic experience, time and place and luck and a good charm, a precient lens through which to view the whimsies and pains of the world, or just chance... but every word you write seems to carry the weight of centuries' worth of wisdom.
BEST TAKANAKA TRIBUTE!!! as a big masayoshi takanaka fan, i feel for the lyrics because i envy the good old man for how cool he is. i really like that particular guitar riff as well... well done my friend, you made my day!
Jesse, I believe you are an old soul who has been here many times. The depth of understanding and compassion with your talent combined is a gift to us all. Thank you!
this song is really something. it’s SO good, i love the homage to takanaka, and it’s so catchy and powerful. please post to spotify! please keep the hits coming!! you’re doing awesome
I’ve recently discovered your music and am mindblown … a Takanaka nod too?!?! Wow! I hope the industry doesn’t get its hooks in you. I hope you stay wild and free from it. You’re amazing and now one of my favorites
Nobody is trying to fix the root problems we have in this country. Everyone is stuck focusing on making enough money so that the problems don't apply to them anymore.
God damn son this song is perfect in my eyes using masayoshi was beautiful he’s amazing and your use of his riff was gorgeous 10/10 can’t wait for the denver show
What a joke the music industry must be to this guy. Spent 6 years releasing stuff on YT never to get 100k views. Even with killer music and videos. Then he slings an acoustic over himself and walks into the woods playing simple, well written music and he blows up.
I know a few ppl that love the guy with a guitar in the woods that writes amazing music. He will get his worth sooner or later. I don't see a world where ppl can't relate to his music
@@mathearniusAs fellow guitarist for over 23 years now; no musician that I've met in my entire life would I deem to be a "normal" person. "Normal" people can't play instruments.
Why do I have all these goosebumps while listening to the music? What is this my body's trying to tell me? And now you got me looking inward. I fuckin love you brother!
When i first heard this song, i immediately googled the title to see who wrote it. I was thinking radiohead or maybe neil young or something. Nope. This is completely original. Its absolutely sensational. The songwriting on this is simply outstanding, and the execution is even better. 👌
This dude and video are the proof that music comes from within and some people just have "it". Check this guy out...standing is the weeds, pluckin a cheap guitar and letting his soul ring out. Reminds me of Bob Dylan in an odd way. Thanks for sharing this with us all!
Ha! This dude spent his life crafting his skill. Definitely has soul but he had to work on it i'm sure. And by the sound of it this guitar dont seem cheap
I feel like no one in the world knows what I feel when I heard oh tango and to hear your feelings put to this music is the greatest thing i have heard in years. So glad you are alive brother.
i really do, this song really stands out to me out of all of his, that chorus is incredibly powerful and the takanaka reference is a sign of a truly great musician who appreciates and takes inspiration from many different genres
Son, you have a gift that not many people have. You're young and full of life with a million different futures ahead of you. I can tell by your lyrics that you're no fool... Follow your heart. If if feels wrong to you, it is. I'm an old man now, and believe me..I've seen some shit. When you get famous, I'll drive your bus for ya.. Remember - if it feels wrong, go another way. Damn everybody else, follow your heart. I believe in you.
Your not a tiny wave hitting the shore but the ocean itself. Beautiful song!! Jesse speaks the way the truth and the life like he wanted us to. Find your own way through him ❤
I’m so selfish! I hope you never change! You are the most original and interesting talent I have experienced in years. I’m 60 yrs old and started going to concerts when I was 14 . You’re amazing !

Keep killing it, dude. You're giving us goosebumps.
I note that too !!
God damn son this song is perfect in my eyes using masayoshi was beautiful he’s amazing and your use of his riff was gorgeous 10/10 can’t wait for the denver show
Nerd
What a joke the music industry must be to this guy. Spent 6 years releasing stuff on YT never to get 100k views. Even with killer music and videos. Then he slings an acoustic over himself and walks into the woods playing simple, well written music and he blows up.
He hit the right combination of things at the right time to catch people’s attention.
Big soul flower waiting to bloom
I know a few ppl that love the guy with a guitar in the woods that writes amazing music. He will get his worth sooner or later. I don't see a world where ppl can't relate to his music
There’s no record industry for regular ppl. This is it now.
@@mathearniusAs fellow guitarist for over 23 years now; no musician that I've met in my entire life would I deem to be a "normal" person. "Normal" people can't play instruments.
I came for the Dune reference,
I stayed for the wholesome vibes.
I love this.
Same. Thanks, youtube algorithm.
Why do I have all these goosebumps while listening to the music? What is this my body's trying to tell me? And now you got me looking inward.
I fuckin love you brother!
That’s your truth recognition circuitry!
@@neccowaif9 Ha! Definitely could be!
id buy a ticket to see this guy fs, actually so talented and genuine keep it up bro
When i first heard this song, i immediately googled the title to see who wrote it. I was thinking radiohead or maybe neil young or something. Nope. This is completely original. Its absolutely sensational. The songwriting on this is simply outstanding, and the execution is even better. 👌
Yessir
I keep coming back to this one. It’s my fave. Creeps into my head at work.
I hope I get to see you perform at a big venue someday. Red Rocks would love you. I would cry in the crowd
Nice visual description. Poet or writer?
@@puggirl415 I used to be both. Now I am not much of anything at all but an observer.
The chorus has some wicked James Bond theme potential. Great job!
Yo that Masayoshi riff thrown in goes hard
Tengo Suerte
@@laurentfabron OH!
@@sithseven Ha, my bad.
Genuinely in awe of your songcraft
This dude and video are the proof that music comes from within and some people just have "it". Check this guy out...standing is the weeds, pluckin a cheap guitar and letting his soul ring out. Reminds me of Bob Dylan in an odd way. Thanks for sharing this with us all!
Ha! This dude spent his life crafting his skill. Definitely has soul but he had to work on it i'm sure. And by the sound of it this guitar dont seem cheap
I have listend to this and "poor" like 20 times each in the last 4 days lol ! absolutely addicted to your energy ! ! !
This Chorus of F$&@ing KILLER!!! Great Songwriting Jesse!!!🎸🎶🎤🎶💪😎👍
First time I heard this I wandered if he knew it was the same riff as takanakas and then when he referenced it I had a huge smile. So cool
I have had this on repeat since it came out on Spotify. I scream this in my car on the way home from work. This might be my song of the year. ❤❤
This is what talent looks like, feels like and sounds like.
I feel like no one in the world knows what I feel when I heard oh tango and to hear your feelings put to this music is the greatest thing i have heard in years. So glad you are alive brother.
I enjoyed your comment I'm looking for oh tango, no luck..

typo, the song is called "OH, TENGO SUERTE"
Oh tango 🤣 o dang-o my apologies it is Oh, Tengo Suerte the opening track on Seychelles
i really do, this song really stands out to me out of all of his, that chorus is incredibly powerful and the takanaka reference is a sign of a truly great musician who appreciates and takes inspiration from many different genres
Son, you have a gift that not many people have. You're young and full of life with a million different futures ahead of you. I can tell by your lyrics that you're no fool...
Follow your heart. If if feels wrong to you, it is. I'm an old man now, and believe me..I've seen some shit.
When you get famous, I'll drive your bus for ya..
Remember - if it feels wrong, go another way. Damn everybody else, follow your heart. I believe in you.
Your not a tiny wave hitting the shore but the ocean itself. Beautiful song!! Jesse speaks the way the truth and the life like he wanted us to. Find your own way through him ❤
OH! TENGO SUERTE! One of my favorite Takanaka songs, thank you for including that little riff
I’m so selfish! I hope you never change! You are the most original and interesting talent I have experienced in years. I’m 60 yrs old and started going to concerts when I was 14 . You’re amazing !
almost in tears. what a beautiful song well done
Duuuuuuude this song and lyrics are soooo gooood, thank you for making and uploading this beauty of a song
