Each song cracks my heart open in a new way. Absolutely brilliant. So grateful Jesse shares himself with us. It's always heartening to come to the comments and see how many people he's affected. We all have so much in common and an artist like Jesse puts it within our grasp. ❤️
¿¿¿unabashed, overt nihilism??? Interesting. Nihilism is a dark, depressing, desolate way to view life--hard to understand how or why people adopt this dismal philosophy. Really helps explain why there's NEVER any suggested resolutions to all the things rhis guy finds to complain about--NEVER suggests any resolutions. But as nihilism goes, there's no point in trying to make life better because nothing has any meaning in life--there's no point to life . . . yep . . . that's the beginning and end of nihilism
It sure is kinda funny, you know . . . considering this guy has never given any indication that he cares about or reads the 10s of 1000s of thoughta of love and support y'all send him . . . no indication at all that he's cared to read a.single character in a comment. Y'all are basically just cheering each other on and being happy. Y'sll built a little ironic community of love from a common interest in someone who doesn't share the same sentiments
@@Thr333_Sugar_SkullsWhat's funny is you are presenting the most nihilistic interpretation of this man's art and the community of people who support it. You are the one who is presenting a perceived problem, without any hope of solution.
And the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature goes to poet, lyricist, wit, composer, singer and all-round genius, Jesse Welles. Congratulations!! Fully deserved. ❤❤❤❤❤
I have been waiting for a new one from you Jesse. Your outdoor videos and songs have been the sweetest part of this year. I love checking in to find a post only an hour or two online. I love seeing the seasons move through these little low tech masterpieces. You have given the world a wonderful gift and we love you. thanks !
I don’t know about dumber, Ain’t never sounded better to me especially on that beautiful Martin. Someone has really gone to work over the years on that fret board. Love it!
this is far too profound for me. only just got it now on the 5th listen when my mind was calm enough to paint the picture of this tale in my mind. beautiful.
Just fantastic, man. Never stop writing. Always trust your personal writer's instincts. Always. Ignore comparisons by others. Stick with your own wisdom and wit. You're doing beautiful work.
I feel so strongly compelled to give props that do your work justice, now come on, man! There are only so many words and you crank out SO MANY amazing tunes! Thank you!
It's about damn time someone wrote a song about me, thanks Jesse, you sure are a good friend pal and you also have a pretty cool collection of 6 strings buddy, I bet there's a D20 in there somewhere. You left out the part where the plumber working next door turned off the water without telling me and nearly blew the still up but the rest was on point cuz, I am an expert at being dumb. You are like my own personal audiobiographer....
I think I’ll make it through today after listening to that…. No bull. Thanks for another amazing song, what you do matters a whole lot to some of us🙏 goin’ nowhere and I’m runnin’ late….
Apathy, Man...singin' of the tragically sad truth of many a human beings' conditions these days. And so eloquently narrated too, as I could only expect from Jesse.
My sentiments exactly brother.....and I mean exactly!!! Thanks and keep em coming man......and dont waste a single moment. Thanks again for the freedom. ron
From the Jane English et al Tao Te Ching: [Chapter] Twenty Give up learning, and put an end to your troubles. Is there a difference between yes and no? Is there a difference between good and evil? Must I fear what others fear? What nonsense! Other people are contented, enjoying the sacrificial feast of the ox. In spring some go to the park and climb the terrace, But I alone am drifting, not knowing where I am. Like a newborn babe before it learns to smile, I am alone, without a place to go. Others have more than they need, but I alone have nothing. I am a fool. Oh, yes! I am confused. Others are clear and bright, But I alone am dim and weak. Others are sharp and clever, But I alone am dull and stupid. Oh, I drift like the waves of the sea, Without direction, like the restless wind. Everyone else is busy, But I alone am aimless and without desire. I am different. I am nourished by the great mother.
DUDE!!! I knew you were from Minnesota! I recognize that vibe anywhere. As a vocalist myself you have some serious chops man. Blessings. Hopefully I can meet you some day.
hate to break it to you bud but Jesse has been making music for a long time now and has played many a headlining tour and opened for some pretty big bands (Greta Van Fleet, Royal Blood, among others). But you'll get there regardless
I want a Martin. I went from having just a Washburn acoustic. Then I found a bunch of broken guitars here and there at work. That's how I got my Epiphone acoustic. Now I have an Ibanez I bought for $100 and a Yamaha acoustic I found at a pawn shop for $125. I'm getting there.
The amount of good songs you create is exhausting.. but I love every single one, keep finding the hits Jesse, thank you so much for sharing with us here. You should create a membership thing so we can thank you with donations.maybe you don't need it, but it builds community.
Hey Jesse, i dont know if you'll see this or not, but ive been going through a pretty rough breakup after i found that my girlfriend of 2 years cheated on me with my best friend on my 20th birthday, which ultimately led to me attempt to take my own life. That happened about a month ago now, and i just wanted to let you know that your music has given me a different outlook on everything, and has helped me recover from my past and i feel almost completely recovered now. Thank you.
I know those feelings, but I never had the guts to admit total defeat until it happened to me a second time, ten years later. Betrayal was an important realization about my mother, in my case, that I was in total denial about for my entire life up to that point. Yet, as crushed as I was, I rose up to live again. A little wiser, a little tougher and whole lot more humble about who was there every single time I got my ass handed to me on a platter. That's the human condition. We wake one another up to it every day. We should be more grateful to these snakes for being who and what they are. I need to quit stepping on or over them, give them a wider berth, and for heaven's sake, stop trying to rescue them or love them in dysfunctional ways. Snakes are what they are and I thank my god for that. Certainty is often in short supply each day, but today I know whose responsibility it is to assess the integrity, character and judgment of the people I sleep with. I have spent more time contemplating mutual funds than I ever did assessing whom I was trusting my sleep to. Women in their teens and 20's are tarts, for the most part, if they're awake and aware. Once we boys hit our 30's, the value calculus changes for the first time in our lives. Women, in the main, become less and less powerful as compared to men from that point, forward. This is truly sad, but it is the way that it presently is, and has been, for some time now. Their value to men used to begin to decline at 15 or 16, back in the day. Progress needs to be acknowledged, but we still have farther to go. Don't do that terminal self-pity shit anymore. Get some help to put some sanity in reserve because life can get even rougher when you are out in the open waters of existence.
Oh honey. You are 20 years old. It may not feel like it right now, but the world is your oyster. As painful as it is, this is a learning opportunity. As a woman, I can tell you that a large percentage of women are selfish and takers. Some of them are really good at convincing you otherwise. Sad but true. This is the only piece of advice you need: When you meet THE ONE you will know it. Absolutely and without doubt. Don't settle till that happens. Good luck to you. Ps. That best friend of yours isn't. Best friends don't do that, period. ♡♡♡

@@dornhaagenson3675 you got that right.
@@dornhaagenson3675 what would we do without fascinating people?
That’s the understatement of the century.
This guy just wakes up in the morning and write a great song like nothing. Jesse is the best lyricist/songwriter for as far as I can remember.
Each song cracks my heart open in a new way. Absolutely brilliant. So grateful Jesse shares himself with us. It's always heartening to come to the comments and see how many people he's affected. We all have so much in common and an artist like Jesse puts it within our grasp. ❤️

Jesse, I’m a 70 year old man and it’s been many years since I’ve heard someone as talented as you. Love ya man!
I am 75 and concur. This boy is the real deal!
I am 67 and I totally agree!
65 (w/70 hubby), both musicians since early teens - and we also agree... Jesse is truly an incredible talent.
Jesse is helping to provide a common thread for us old folk. I like that, feel part of a group..
Nothing makes my day more than a Jesse Welles song I can hear for the first time. 1:19
Facts.
Nailed this comment 😂
“ Even Jesus wants to kick my ass.” That was a great line.
"Keeping it real",Jesse you are about as real as it gets young man.Thank you for sharing your music and yourself with us!

this made my morning. thank you for existing and for sharing your beautiful art with me.
Jesse reminds me so much of singers I heard and liked in the 60’s and 70’s, but still so cool and doing his own thing. New fan here.
Like all great troubadours, Jesse is a poet with a guitar. Outstanding!!!✌️
I wrote songs and toured the country on them for a decade and, brother, you are a star. Love from Texas.
I'm so happy I got recommended this channel a few months back, such an absolute musical gem!
My father just died and your music is a blessing to me. Thank you Jesse!
He makes me wanna live to hear what he comes up w next❤
😢sweet and sad sauce. 💚🙏🏻
“Must be hard working on toes” 😂😂😂😂 love it dude
I don’t know about dumber, Ain’t never sounded better to me especially on that beautiful Martin. Someone has really gone to work over the years on that fret board. Love it!
I really appreciate you sharing your songs with us.
Ya never know what direction he’s going. Praise his too cool And odd mind
Nowhere and I’m running late… brilliant
Great lyrics, great singing, great guitar, great harmonica! More Jesse, more please!
I love sharing your beautiful songs. Thank you.
What in the second coming of John Prine is going on here young man?!?! 😲🥰🤩👏👏👏🙌🙌👊 You’ve got IT!! ❤❤❤
I swear I have a 6th sense for Jesse's posts, I always open RUclips just a few minutes after he uploads
Amazing as always.
These videos is the highlight of each day for me.
// Singer (and sometimes songwriter) from Sweden 😍🤗
Close your eyes, and you will see and hear John Prine....... keep rocking brother, Jesse 😎👍
BINGO!!! What a treat, I’ve missed him so.
We can’t all be #1. Be like water my friends.🌊 Good one Jesse!👍🐿️
Congratulations 🎉
this is far too profound for me. only just got it now on the 5th listen when my mind was calm enough to paint the picture of this tale in my mind.
beautiful.
I know! Me TOO! That's wild though 🤪😁 I was really digging it by 2 mins in for sure 😃
Great song , makes song writing look easy. That's the way all the great ones do
Thank you Jesse. Love your music always. Much love from the Netherlands
Just fantastic, man. Never stop writing. Always trust your personal writer's instincts. Always. Ignore comparisons by others. Stick with your own wisdom and wit. You're doing beautiful work.

The hairs getting longer and the plants are starting to sleep.
Really nice tune.
There is a lot of truth in this song.
I love seeing the seasons change around you Jesse! Your enduring talent is a superb contrast to the evanescent seasons.
It's about damn time someone wrote a song about me, thanks Jesse, you sure are a good friend pal and you also have a pretty cool collection of 6 strings buddy, I bet there's a D20 in there somewhere. You left out the part where the plumber working next door turned off the water without telling me and nearly blew the still up but the rest was on point cuz, I am an expert at being dumb.

Dude looks like danny duncan. Sings like bob dylan. And touches my heart like god
Dylan sings worse
Leaving the sticker on his jeans was a stylistic choice for this one 🤣
You inspired me to finally buy a harmonica! I'm in love with it and you :)
Cooler than a big cucumber.
This guy is on Mars broadcasting inside your soul
Ain’t nothin dumb about Jesse Welles
I'm digging the season changes. Im excited to see parka jesse. ❤
Jesse Welles produces pure poetry.
We love your music 💜 keep it up. The world needs real. The world needs YOU! Thank you.
man your music is amazing... i just learned to play grapes of wrath
This is a lot like some Phil Ochs I really dig this man
nice, in bed waiting for the acid to wear off, good song man and the bushland behind you is looking very vibrant and beautiful
I feel John Prine's soul in this music man. Carry on the torch!
glad to see you're doing well, man. I enjoyed working with you on Brother Dog
Are you having a country boy stroke, or are you just referencing a song?
@@SamanthaSerrano-p9n😂
John Prine would be so happy!! This is gold!!
John Prine got cut up and passed all around as he wished. I believe Jesse got some of John’s spirit.
The boy can write. Reality with pinching sarcasm. One can see his point of view.
Summer is over, and the weeds are turning brown. Such is the passage of time.
John Prine, Jimmy Buffett, Leo Kottke, AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
Your music cures my depression.
A song called Dumber that made me think. Thank you 🥴 Not sure what that says about me though lol.
Apathy, Man...singin' of the tragically sad truth of many a human beings' conditions these days. And so eloquently narrated too, as I could only expect from Jesse.
Tbh so many bangers by this guy. Always draws me in. Hello again, story time please!
May the world bless you like youve contributed to music
My Dad (WWII veteran) told me one time “the happiest people in the world don’t have brain one”.
My sentiments exactly brother.....and I mean exactly!!! Thanks and keep em coming man......and dont waste a single moment. Thanks again for the freedom. ron
I ain't never felt better than when I see a new tune from you 💜
Another amazing tune as usual. I wish you the best man

Tao Te Ching:
[Chapter] Twenty
Give up learning, and put an end to your troubles.
Is there a difference between yes and no?
Is there a difference between good and evil?
Must I fear what others fear? What nonsense!
Other people are contented, enjoying the sacrificial feast of the ox.
In spring some go to the park and climb the terrace,
But I alone am drifting, not knowing where I am.
Like a newborn babe before it learns to smile,
I am alone, without a place to go.
Others have more than they need, but I alone have nothing.
I am a fool. Oh, yes! I am confused.
Others are clear and bright,
But I alone am dim and weak.
Others are sharp and clever,
But I alone am dull and stupid.
Oh, I drift like the waves of the sea,
Without direction, like the restless wind.
Everyone else is busy,
But I alone am aimless and without desire.
I am different.
I am nourished by the great mother.
Man, I love you. You have a piece of my soul.
too much dopamine is turning me green and my red blood cells overly tangerine...so enjoy your time at this time Jesse!
DUDE!!! I knew you were from Minnesota! I recognize that vibe anywhere.
As a vocalist myself you have some serious chops man. Blessings.
Hopefully I can meet you some day.
I've been waiting all summer to see what this view would look like when everything died off for the winter. Feeling very satisfied atm lol
God take on the whole, “Ignorance is bliss” thing.
Im writing in Jesse Welles on my ballot
I respect that.
Yes!!
so crazy to see you go from playing a plywood stella in rags to a Martin and a fancy jacket, you made it bro. hopefully i will too

Your music gives me hope. ❤
The only bad thing about this song is that it's true.
Why is that a bad thing?
Another great song
A Sense of Humor will take you a long way . 😁
Be careful, eventually someone figure out that you are singing about them
I think when John Prine died.. he got cut up and passed all around as he wished. Jesse got some of John’s spirit.

He’s never been dumber.Even if he’s picking or he’s a strummer.Cranking out tunes every other day.Looks like Jesse is here to stay.
That gut string guitar has a GREAT sound! Really cuts instead of mutes.
Thanks you always make me smile. 💜☮️👍

Always love your music. Thanks for pumpin' the tunes out!
Worth a few listens! Ignorance is Bliss…
Oh I hope he tours in Canada some day, what a great voice ❤️
Sometimes this song reminds me of My Name Is Earl. Other times I think of Better Call Saul. Cucumber water for customers only!
They say ignorance is bliss until you become so blissfully ignorant of what's to come and then you *really feel dumb* when reality & time catch up
Allways a joy listening to you sing
