- take me
and make me feel like you do
oh I want to know what's real
I want to know like you
Sophia
always good to see you
you are always leaving me so soon
you know that its true
and you don't come around enough
could it be I've been to hard on you
I love you
when I was younger
so much younger
I was trying to get out
when I was younger
so much younger
I had my doubts
take me
and make me feel like you do
oh I want to know what's real
I want to know like you
and other people claim to know
but nothing ever looks as though it seems
you know it's a dream
and I would give you all my time
for just a little peace of mind
Sophia
Sophia
Sophia
take me
and make me feel like you do
oh I want to know what's real
I want to know like you
I want to know like you
I want to know like you
take me
take me
My name is Sophia and im mostly deaf. Thank you for posting the lyrics so I could enjoy the song ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm mostly deaf, too, and I love that he's so great about posting lyrics. Rock on!
A sincere, curiosity question: You are listening to music, so it brings you pleasure like it does for the rest of us. Is it just the lyrics that are hardest but you still hear the melodies, rhythm, individual notes, etc, or are some frequencies muted while others are clear?
@spacelemur7955 I can only hear low mid to low frequencies and I read lips. 😊
Oh yeah!!!❤
This song is about the gnostic Sophia . Well, that's how I read the lyrics .
Just thought I'd drop a rabbit hole for the readers .
❤
This sounds like a hymn to Sophia, the Goddess of Wisdom. It's a great song! i think you already have Her blessing, though! Lots of wisdom in your songs.
Just what I was thinking.
Our Jesse is a well informed fella
Got me again! I thought for sure this one was about a person 🤭....a love song to wisdom ❤
Sophia is the female face of God Rising !
Love this kid..Thank you again for being Jesse. Such a talented Bard perfect for these times so needed you are..
🎶🫶💪💃🎶
Brightest Blessings 💗
Great goddess, Sophia ❤
Hearing so much Harrison in this one, love it ✌🏻🫶🏻🎸
This!
Weird. I hear Jesse.
Jeff Tweedy too.
Nashville Skyline...with a Beatlesque sound😊
There's a couple parts with a very beatle chord progression.
Was wondering where that was.
@susangirardi3655everything belongs to everybody
@makeitcount179 nothing belongs to anybody.
@susangirardi3655 oh, aphilosopher or an anarchist, yousurrise me lol😅
The greatest artists show their influences while remaining 100% unique. This here is a Beatles fan paying it forward. What a song!!
Beatles meet Kurt Cobain - Jesse you’re a national treasure!
Hunh. Sounds like Jesse Welles to me.
Huh. First I wanted to post something snarky, but after a few seconds or so... that IS actually what it sounds like. :)
I keep thinking of George Harrison. Excellent.
I was gonna say, there's kind of a Beatles vibe about this one.
Noice, having heard you say that, I hear it too now.
right you are sir. kinda harrisonesque, if that's even a word.
@waheck It is now.
I thought this was a George Harrison song.
Jesse you are already tapped into Sophia, but I love the song and the backdrop 🎵 🌆. Lucky Nashville!
This tune has an old rock sound. Keep on rockin' Jesse!
Beatles
I get a late 60’s Beatles vibe from this. Great tune.
@SisYoushouldhavebeenadetective my thought exactly
That midway intermission had the blues creeping in like a possession
@S@SisYoushouldhavebeenadetective George Harrison
philosophy (philo + sophia = love of wisdom)
Yup. Clever song
Oh, my God! Of course ❤
If only more sought her out.
@ChristwillingThe early followers of Christ made the Church a patriarchy from the very start. The earliest writings about Christ were written decades, hundreds of year's after the ascension of Jesus.
I knew nothing about the story of gnostic Sophia. Now im googling
Right when I start studying ancient Gnosticism and "Sophia"... synchronicities started happening everywhere. Thanks for making amazing music brother
Holy female wisdom 👏👏👏
seems like all the most evil people in the world believe in that crap, so be careful
@OGRE_HATES_NERDSGnosticism is a vast spectrum, just like Christianity. Not all Christians are Trump supporters, if you see what I mean.
@gardenvariety9957 just be careful toots
🪿 🪿 🤍🔥🕊️🎶 hee hee
you make my broken heart dance again Jesse! thank you for being you. It brings joy to the world
Jesse is the most captivating artist of our current time.
The only thing I have to disagree with is that there are more out there.
He is iconic though
🔥
He's definitely in a league of his own. A prolific & insightful creator of earworms. Excited for him and for all the soon-to-be new fans who have yet to discover him 🎶
Moon Walker too. Jesse rules too though
Am I the only one who is reminded of Tom petty?
If radio was still a thing, this would be ALL over it. 👍👍
Trust me, radio is still a thing for us oldsters.😊
radio is extremely popular in certain areas. you push a button and there's instant music. some people listen to it all day long. while they're driving, while they're at work. they get home and hang out in the garage or kitchen listening to the radio.
We lost a real radio personality in Philly in '25. Pierre Robert was the rock radio music presenter for 40 years. We miss him.
@Gran-1316 I'm old too, but between all the yakking personalities and commercials, I just can't take it.
@Todd-o8n
That plus the stations playing the same songs at the same time every day is why I subscribed to SiriusXM. It’s is definitely better than just about any regular radio station.
Opened my phone to a notification with my name I feel honored. Awesome as always ❤
Hittin' that "Thumbs Up" before I even hit "Play" any more...
Lol r u me bruh 😅
Thanks so much Jesse for creating music truly grateful for your voice
slowed down, close-up, personal music lesson with no fluff, gizmos or embellishments!
Love this guy!
Always such a nice surprise. This tune is like channeling a long-lost Big Star song, in the best possible way.
Yes, it was floating around in my head….I kept thinking ‘this reminds me of someone.’ I could totally hear Alex Chilton singing this!
Always loving JW's chord changes and playing skills, and the fun songs!
What I wouldn’t do to take a stroll on a bridge and find Jesse Welles singing a love song.❤
Even better such a spiritual love song! ✌️☯️🙏
@brendasmart553indeed. I know Jesse well(es) enough to know the whole song is a metaphor. Absolutely brilliant.
hey thats my name
Wouln't wanna be ya 😃
Did your parents worship the archetype of truth/wisdom?
👋👋
Well there ya go.
Lucky you. Jesse is never going to sing about space lemurs. Hell, nobody even believes we exist. 😉
Thank you Jesse! Whenever I see a new drop from you - my day instantly gets better. I hope life is being wonderful to you this week. 😘🤗
Kid you not, though - just as that notification dropped, I had gotten my keys out of my coat pocket to go get some beer. I put them back and sat down.😁 There you go.❤ Crisis adverted. Thank you.
👍❤
Lol I've been using the term Crisis Adverted a LOT lately. Love it.
Go, You! 😊👍
@jode378thank you.❤❤😊 I need to want this.😁
@MastashakenbakeIt does sum up the situation.😂👍
Beautiful song, beautiful backdrop! Love Welles x Nashville!
Ohhh, we've got a different backdrop this time. Love how Jesse always finds the beauty in the mundane when it comes to his locations.
I love this one. It reminds me of the 70’s time period I grew up in.❤
Yup 70's were Heaven
Sometimes it's like your music is a Gift from the Universe, balm for our burnt out psyche❤🙏🙌
Seek help
Love your songs and voice, keep writing
Love this Nashville framing, great eye Jesse. You just dont miss a beat!❤
When a new song sounds so old in a very good way!🇧🇷 Greetings from Brazil!
Beautiful tune, words and Jesse's voice sounds great! :-)
Sophia the goddess we need now!
Yes!❤
❤️🔥
Yes!! 🙏❤️
The Monad hears you Brother.
Nope. We never need any gods or goddesses That's ALL a bunch of crap for low effort thinkers and the apathetic morons who think everything always has a reason, and turns out for the best. What a bunch of childish nonsense. I can't imagine ruining my brain with that obvious stupidity. What a pointless shameful way to waste a brain.
Coolest dog I ever had- Sophie ,the world needs more wise girls
My dogs name is Sophie!!! She is wise, she is the best!
I love this melody and rhythm.😊 great work Jesse. Really good song. Radio Friendly😊
I love you jesse!! Your music is a blessing 💖💕🎶✨️
Thanks ❤
Happy Sunday
Beautiful ode to knowing.
👍❤
Certain?
Melody really reminds me of Beatles song ‘If I needed someone’, and ‘Dear Prudence..’ …
Real 70s chords up the neck, with 7ths and minor chords ... very authentic!
I was thinking the same thing -- it reminds me of the band America (one of my favorites).
Was just listening to Hells Welles and Middle and now this dropped!
Ha! I was listening to Under the Powerlines II. Can’t get enough Jesse!!!! ❤❤❤
Another amazing song 🎵 ❤️ Thank you for sharing it 🎉
Singing in upper register, the chord progression, the lyrics, the whole vibe. I really like it.
Another CLASSIC! Bravo!😀
Beautiful song. Beautiful city.
I keep coming back to this one after a few days and listening to it again. It’s becoming one of my favs.
Thank you. Jesse! I m seeking Her, too. And So It Is. ❤️🔥
Sophia is a lucky girl, whoever she really is. I have noticed a band on that finger. Though my middle son wore a silver promise ring for 7 years, before his HS sweetheart and he married and another 4 years to make me & my husband, grandparents. Your music fill my soul & you are cute, shy & funny. Me too, so I like you and your guitar and your barely a voice & all your sweaters, that sounds straight out of the moth of son #1. He had a real hard time finding the love of his life, but this year is their 10th Anniversary, sooo, love wins, James says that in the Bible. I think of myself as a Buddhist Christian, I’m not into church, I am definitely a Believer in God, he has saved my life so many times, I pray his white light surround you, while you rocket 🚀 across the Stratosphere. Keep on singing and writing those songs & someday I will get to see you live. Wish I’d been at Pike Place in Seattle, when you were busking, by the flying fish. I would honk I remember a video with Molly Tuttle throwing fish there. Obviously, my family and I live in Washington, up here by the Canadian Border, you will love Vancouver, B.C., so much to do, the Seawall at Stanley Park, the Tram up to the top and the restaurant there, and the foot trestle bridge over a canyon surrounded by Evergreens. You are going to love it, Jesse!! I’ve got to get my passport updated, so no chance I’ll be in Canada. Damn, it was so fun in our 20’s & $30’s, we drove up to Vancouver and Whistler and Squamish on the way to Whistler, where they film Virgin River and call it the Emerald Triangle, lol, we used to live in the Emerald Triangle, before we relocated to hubby’s hometown. Peace ✌️ and Love ❤️
Wow,somebody got inspired in to write a comment.I'm just gonna say"THIS "
Execelente canción amigo como siempre
Wishing for a Beatles-like album from Jesse is now my new obsession.
Great Tune!
Sounding Great, But Your aways Sounding Great!!! I'm truly amazed by your talent!!!
Beatles vibes. Very cool.
Jesse's songwriting intuition is superb, no doubt about it.
Jesse❤, OMG I love it! This song ROCKS!🤘🏻🎶🎸 Beautiful! Just Beautiful! The guitar riffs,the words, the tune! This is absolutely one of your best songs so far. Please include it on your new album! Beautiful Gibson guitar too! Great sound! Never stop Rocking Jesse! And maybe Rock out an Electric Guitar on your new album and at your shows in March and really blow our minds! "Whoa!" ❤️☺️🤘🏻🎶🤘🏻🎸🔥💖✨😍
Great Performance! 🎸🎶🎤🤠✌🏻
never run out
Sophia represents Divine Wisdom.
Nah. She's his ex :D
Seriously tho, I really hope it's a song about a girl and not something as trite as religion or 'spirituality' or divine low-effort-thinker crap.
I would think, judging by most of his tunes, he'd be far too smart to fall for that obvious BS.
@OctopusPrime80It could mean both.
@OctopusPrime80 he has as a lot of songs dancing around religion and divinity, when he received the spirit of americana award he spoke of a shard of divinity in every person being the driving force of creativity. so yeah this song is about Sophia the goddess of wisdom
@OctopusPrime80 You are correct, he is not particularly religious judging by his previous tunes.
Another great tune! The sun coming up behind you with the stillness of the river … perfect.
Nice
Keep on rocken.. your the best!!
As usual another great song, respect sir 🙏🏻❤
Yay, yay yay, how exciting
I’m grateful you have your music on RUclips. Thank you ❤️
Very nice. Thanks for sharing this with us sir
Luckily for us, Jesse is wired differently.🌹
What do you mean? Christian and married?
@LindaJaquillard Musically and poetically.
Sophia... the wisdom embodied by Mary Magdalene. And Jesus knew it. Why he trusted her so, and entrusted her with sacred knowledge. Clearly, you KNOW, too. ❤❤❤
Absolute lovely song 🎵
💛💛💛
Beautiful song. And of course "Sophia" means "wisdom".
Best way to start the day- with a new Jesse Welles song ❤
keep doing what youre doing man - this is what we need
Nashtown makes a nice backdrop for this release. Wish I was there.
i really like this one, definate harrison vibes. nice.. thanks jesse.
Jesse, your artistry is addictive to this listener. I am grateful to have happened upon your music and messages. Great t-shirt by the way 😊
Have you seen his performance of Whales at Thalia Hall? It's so beautiful. It's here on YT.
Always a spectacular day, when it was a long hard one, you’re finally able to sit down for a min. And F-YAAA Jesse drops another piece of 2:48 gold
I love your music.
Thank you!
I love you!
🙏🌟❤️🔥🕊️
Brilliant friend!!! 👁️❤️SOPHIA!
What a song, damn! Can actually hear a bit of Yes in this along with George Harrison, especially in that middle part.
Jesse , the magnetism and authenticity conveyed within your traveled storytelling is quickly making you more of a legend than even the jolliest of garden gnomes. 🤗😂❤️
I love that Jesse is showing us views and landscapes from the cities he's touring. Thank you Jesse ❤🎸✨️
:) That's my name. I was really touched by your song. I needed this, and the universe answered. Thank you ❤
So good!!! I am loving this great new song! Excellent chord progression with a magnificent break full of walking chords. Thank you again, Jesse! 🙏♥
Love this sooooooo much!! Lovely melody!
Holy cow!!! Ok I'm obsessed; Jesse's song writing really hits me in the feels
Great tune Jesse❤ yes, I too hear the George Harrison influence. It's beautiful😊
Jesse thank you 🙏 🎤🎸🔥🗽🗽👍🌈⭐️⭐️🖖☮️
Great tune man. Nice job.
Great song! ❤
Sophia < Mother < Gaia < Wisdom ❤️
Jesse, whew.
You make me wish I was a chord progression.
Wisdom has blessed you with everything you need to know.
I love your chord progressions and thank you for showing the guitar so I can learn your songs.
Sophia the name of the divine feminine force in the Hebrew mystical texts.
Oooh, this is a good one. Jesse, I hope Divine Wisdom abides with you always... Seems to me like She's pretty happy to have you as a roommate 🙂💐💖
Whoa! Absolutely Beautiful Rocking song! OMG if he breaks out the Electric my head is gonna explode! I think this is one of his best songs so far! Rock on Jesse! 🔥🎸🤘🏻🎶🤘🏻☺️
Great song and a great backdrop, yes, Jesse I'll have the usual !!
I love the tones in this guitar

Sweet. Thank you.
Beautiful! Thanks Jesse.
Was just listening to his old metal/rock band, Welles (Paste Magazine has a video with them from 2017). Apparently they got their start in Nashville, I guess he's back home again.
