I saw people complaining on another song that Jesse doesnt do fan interactions, put likes and hearts on comments etc. Maybe he is just too busy writing and performing his amazing songs and thats more than we could ask for. He has that perfect relation with his audience, where the songs and his face singing them is all we have to go on. It reminds me of when I was a kid, and thats all we had with the musicians we loved in the 1970s. The day Jesse gets famous, and Jimmy Fallon, Joe Rogan and every other personality gets their hooks in him, we will have lost something rare and amazing. I reckon maybe he is smart enough to stay exactly where he is. Thanks for another great song JW.
Likes, hearts and comments seem pretty anti Jesse. Why engage in the machine that is harming billions when he can just make music that speaks to him and hopefully us. This will all mean nothing soon so why care about it.
What's ironic is that I was VERY intrigued by the new McDonald's cups and started searching for them today while thinking "I just don't care for McDonald's food very much (minus the fries)" and then this song pops up. 😬 I was actually diagnosed with fatty liver disease last year after being homeless for a while and living off of fast food, particularly, McDonald's. I now have a home and have lost 35-40 pounds with little to no fa(s)t food. 🤘🏻
The freakin' PROPHET of our generation!!! I just can't believe how much new QUALITY AF material this kid keeps coming up with. You continue to blow my mind Jesse. THANK YOU SO MUCH !! Keep keeping on, my friend!!
It makes my day when I see he has a new video up. Love em all, just some more than others. He's got a way of articulating what all of us already feel and know. Brilliant guy.
Thanks Jesse. Been following you for several weeks now. Enjoying your stuff. Good to know that someone somewhere is making articulate protest against some of the crap in the world in the footsteps of many artists in the folk tradition. Your sardonic sarcasm is lovely as is the simplicity of the guitar and the effectiveness of your lyrics. Great stuff ...
“Cheaper than a home-cooked treat, it’s like Fentanyl you can eat” - what a powerful lyric! I salute you sir! Another masterpiece from Jesse…always managing to produce such concise, powerful insights into this crazy, crazy world with songs of incredible quality. Long may it continue 🤠👍
That kapo position gives that Gibson a very refined voice. "It's like fentanyl you can eat." Awesome line. Sad but true is always powerful. Your melodic idee fixee using the mi-fa movement, hanging on that 4 tone imitating the suspension of a leading tone is very effective. A song that is never resolved, because you know you love french fries.
Dude...in all seriousness. You are becoming my favorite songwriter of all time. Please keep doing what you are doing. I truly appreciate your perspectives on life and all the mundane around us....
Nothing cooler than getting to hear someone still sing about things that matter to them. Singing lyrics they wrote. With instruments they play. It's fleeting fast, something we all must cling to.
Thank you for the great music! How do you do it? It just flows out of you man. Great talent True words that society needs to hear. Vampire pricks in power, counting on us to lose..
I was at a pool party today where everybody got to talking politics. I put your music on full blast and everybody was like Dang Grandma! But it changed the whole vibe and we had fun.
I don’t know how you keep doing it but I hope it never ends. There isn’t another musician on the planet for whom I will stop whatever I’m doing to listen to a new track as soon as it drops. I hope you wind up touring
Live fast.. Die fast.. Eat fast food.. feed the mean machine that's fillin up on me and you.. 🎶 Love the way you shine a light on problems in our country..🩷
Jesse- you’re blowing my mind man! I just recently saw you pop on my feed, clicked and I was hooked! I recognized early on a strong influence of Dylan and Prine as harbinger figures; then I saw one with the harmonica- here comes Uncle Neil Young, then a few more showed the entrance of Uncle George Carlin! So great, man!
wtf how is cardi b and other dumb shit popular and I've never heard of this guy? Jesse, welcome to the big leagues, you rule. Stay humble and keep up the great work. Respect!
CARDI B isn't dumb, just wanted to say that. Do you speak two languages? She does, and she dabbles in two others. Also, in 2022, Cardi B donated $100,000 to the elementary school she attended, I.S. 232 in the Bronx. NOT dumb. Words have meanings.
@@chillnophone2024 Words do have meaning. Sometimes, a word can evoke a different meaning from different people. For example, you assumed by my use of the word dumb that I'm referring to the intelligence of the creators. In my case, I'm inferring that music with lyrics such as "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, you fucking with some wet ass pussy Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass pussy Give me everything you got for this wet ass pussy" is indeed very fucking dumb. If you enjoy listening to a woman sing about her wap, please do so. Also, that is very nice of her to donate .00125% of her net worth to the school, it will maybe pay a year's salary and benefits for two teachers.
Wells threw in those fancy finger moves outa the blue just to show yeah man he used to play in a metal band. Has distant echoes of “Angel from Montgomery” blended in with some Harry Potter & anti-establishment poetry where he Howls without Howling. Brilliant!
Jesse Welles is my spirit animal too, I just love this guys vibe presence, genius song writing skills and way he makes it sound so easy, so natural, plus all songs have deep message.He is a REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're A genius. I appreciate your writing very deeply. You are highly underrated, but you shouldn't feel bad about that. You're underrated in a world full of s*** And that's only because the scale is made up by who takes the biggest dump. While you're busy mining gold Thank you.These songs have gotten me through some rough days
Oh my. I don't often get teary eyed. There is something so authentic and raw about your lyrics. You have something very special. Be careful out there ❤
That's an incredibly fun yet depressing song. Kidding, sort of. Well constructed, and damn that's some biting social commentary. I know this has to be hard work, so thank you for that gift!
I am a fast food GM and I’ve been wanting to quit my job. I make enough to pay for my apartment, but I can’t keep my staff happy with their pay and I can’t keep my company happy. They want more production with less than ever…. I’m at a loss
That's the goal, they want to stress every rung on the ladder so the middle-rung bosses either increase efficiency to an inhuman degree without lowering morale, or de-stress by raging at the employees, fostering a narcissistic relationship that emulates a mini-tyranny. They're trying to convert the good bosses into bad bosses when there's only 2 solutions, the middle-rung bosses challenge the logic of the higher ups with all the right backups in place, or the middle-rung bosses step away, allowing a cheaper replacement. My GM went full tyrant and is now using psychological triangulation techniques to turn me and my supervisor against each other, we saw through it. I'm the union steward of a Hilton and I got the employees raises after the Owner refused to compensate and used overly critical assessments to justify "bad workers" who "don't deserve raises", all due to an unjust workload corporate pushed on all tiers. I'm wondering what would happen if the middle-rung bosses suggested to the most honourable, daring, and diligent employee to bring in a union themselves with the understanding that no one would believe them if they told the higher-ups, then the middle-rung boss could open a private channel with the union rep and make deals to bridge the pay/workload gap. It would take someone courageous, but they could do some real ethical spy stuff, and for justice for all and fair pay of all things.
@DelTrig0 I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds like you're going through a really tough situation. I trust that you're doing your best. It's entirely fair that you'd want to quit instead of going through this. Wish we/I could help in some way
You have major pull in the job market. Anyone that made it to managerial, let alone GM can absolutely just walk out. So can your employees. All of them are overqualified for their wage. Do it.
Every song is overflowing with pointed insight and clarity. This man needs to be protected and projected at all costs! Jesse for Prez 24!!!!! All of your wildest dreams will come true.
Thank you Jesse for being our collective voice. I wish every single person who hears this song, choose to fast over eating fast food, after all, it's not made to eat, it's made to sell! 💗🧚♂️
@serenitycox217 Fasting doesn't mean never eat, and there is evidence to suggest intermittent fasting is a very healthy thing to do. Lots of Americans who are well over their healthy daily calorie intake, and often times a single fast food meal is enough to put them over that threshold.
@@ioncewasmikey Right, and I do agree with you. Generally everyone could stand to fast/skip a meal or 2, but when fast food _is_ someone's only option for any extended period of time I would hope you'd agree with me that it's better to eat that than nothing at all...
I'm single and work a lot. I have a hard time shopping and cooking and cleaning. So I end up eating trash a lot. The only places to eat in my town are the places he sang about. Makes me so angry I just don't wanna eat and it makes the cycle just worst.
Eat local as much as you can. Avocados are super good for you. Fruits. Spicy is super good for you too. I know honey, cayenne or chili pepper, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger all together is very good for you. Try at your own risk because some people could be allergic to certain ingredients.
The Gibson Acoustic sounds great! Also amazing song, and something that definitely needs to be talked about. This one also feels like one of the tunes from May (in a good way).
"It's like fentanyl you can eat". Lyrical genius level 💯
“Children can now recognize greater than a thousand corporate logos, but fewer than ten plants native to their region.” ~ Scott Sampson
About the same % of adults.
@UnshcoolingCOM you're speaking the truth. Years ago in a high school business class we were shown corporate logos and quized on who they were.
And in the near distance we see the smoke.
Someone spray the Lysol... Jesse is the shit.
Legendary skills !!!

He wrote a song about this.
😮😊
Absolutely spot on.
Steve Martin: “Be so good they can't ignore you."
Jesse: "Okay."

That line hits hard

Jesse .. you have your nose on the scent .. this is the spirit of human protest .. like Vietnam War! This plays my strings!
I was born in 1964 and this young man is one of my favorite musicians! 🩵 Kinda reminds me lyrically of Neil Young
@@LaurenCaldwell-ck6kx .. yes .. very witty use of words! Thanks for the comment! 🙂
Great song! You are hitting the pulse. Keep being that antennae for good!
Thank you for the great music! How do you do it? It just flows out of you man. Great talent
True words that society needs to hear. Vampire pricks in power, counting on us to lose..
The spirit of Dylan is strong with this one
Pressin all the buttons within society and doing it very well!!
Fantastic song, great guitar-playing, and LOVE the harmonica too! Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
love the descending bass line and melody.
Perfectly brilliant. Honestly true. Just found my new favorite writer...

BRUH😮....YOU GOD DAMN GENIUS...KEEP IT COMING...SO MUCH ART , TALANT , AND TRUTH..ALL MIXED UP IN A RIDDLE...IM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY

Another gem. Jesse is a real artist and WIDE AWAKE to the realities of the U.S. food industry.
Same here. And he pumps this brilliant stuff out like a machine.
Holy shit Jesse with a Gibson
Love the Gibson! It sounds great!
Funny thing is yesterday the last video I watched he chuckled his guitar.

My southern heart is so happy.🥰🥰🥰

Thank you Jesse!
May you have peace, love, good times, and good food.
That's the thing, it's not even remotely cheaper than cooking actual food.
Not anymore no, and its absolute poison.
Thank you for continuing to make music with real meaning Jesse! ❤ (p.s. nice guitar)
This dudes alot smarter than most people, a lot more talented too. What a gem.

im so glad i found you man, i am telling everyone i know and meet about you
saddest thing about this song is that it's hardly even cheaper to eat the shit anymore
I love this tune. This reminds me a lot of Dear Prudence and the harmonica gives it that added flavour

How did I get an obnoxious chicfila ad right before this song?
Is youtube… aware of itself? Ironic? Too much for me today.
Thanks for your music.

He's got a Gibson now. Movin' on up.
If you haven't heard/seen his projects before this, check em out. I have a feeling he's got quite a collection of guitars.
Hopefully he still uses the other one... such a unique tone
