These people all singing in the woods are the first of our people for decades who’ve had a real voice. Not just, could sing.

@@Anonymous-km5pj you had me confused for a moment. I remember going to see LotR in a haze of emotional trauma, but it was from something else, not 9/11. I had to think back and do the math. Yes. I saw it in December 2001. Sometime after the 16th. But I guess it had been out for a while by then? I remember reading about it in my dentist’s office the summer before. Anyway, good comment and thanks for writing down those lyrics about the choir. I didn’t quite catch them at first listen. That verse makes me think of Leonard Cohen.
@@DavidSchneiderIP depending on the hour of the day. Daytime it was very good middle of the road and pop and rock, comes nighttime it was songwriting and blues in my memories
He like a Country Jim Morrison, who has the voice of the NON SLEEPING generation!! This boy should go far. He deserves to, great voice, really intelligent phrasing and song writing. THAT is what real music is about!!
I do hope nothing Happens to him. I don't want to be mourning him feeling robbed. It's because he's so special, I worry. I'm hoping neil young gives him some good advice. Gets him with the write people.
As a songwriter myself, I LOVE hearing stuff like this. The new musical revolution will be one of love and sharing instead of competition and exclusivity.
@@BenjaminKennethMusic I think that is certainly possible, but it takes enough of humanity to realize the potential we all hold as one, united in a particular way with like mind, heart, and soul. That is the issue I think. Human nature can go in both directions, and it's always at play. That's something to keep in mind. It would be awesome to see.

I was born in the Southern US in 1994 to a poor family. Your music really does hit home for me and my husband who is the same age and from a similar background. Thank you, Jesse, for being a voice for so many of us who feel ignored by society for a multitude of reasons. Keep up the great work! 💙♥️✨
Poor, uneducated have the best characters... they tend to make their own filters for life, disarming, without pomp or pretense, diamonds formed under great pressure, samurai steel forged under intense heat. Love you 💖and so glad you are being ignored by society coz they'll only bring trouble upon you.
I love RadioWV, always scouting out such fine talented singers with a purpose in their songs. Thanks for keeping America's heart beating! Keep up the fine work. Jesse, way to go man, well done, spot on.
Wow! That said so much to me. I am 59, so as I was growing up all the baby boomers were "giving us amazing music", they were massive heroes to me/us. Then we got dissappointed in the 1980's because they became yuppies and seemed to be hypocrites. Now you, Jesse, have told us how you experience them. And you acknowledge they gave us amazing music, which is true and legendary, but look what else they've done 😢 this is an incredible song, so historically important. It is like a bookend to bob dylan, the conclusion to an experiment. The final say. Jesse has summed it all up and marked it FAIL. I love it!!!! ❤
Glad to know you all are so damn perfect. It's easy to talk about what the other guy did and leave out all of your amazing contributions without error. Can't wait to see how your future turns out but we'll be dead and you will have to blame the generation after you for all the FUBAR's to keep your accomplishments free of failure.
I am a Boomer, born in the peak year with largest birth rate of Boomers, 1955. I am as horrified as you or anyone can possibly be with the pollution, war, world 🌎 is such a mess. It’s hard when you blame a whole generation for the world’s woes and problems. FYI, we Boomers were/are quite aware of the problems, we grew up with Silent Spring. I swore at 15 I would never drive a car, lol, but I have always driven economic low fuel cars, always!!! I wish I could fix this world’s problems, especially for my 3 sons and my 3 grandchildren.
I've been a Fan of Jesse' for several years now. It's been fun to watch his evolution as a musician. Proud for you, my friend. Keep being true to the music.
I think it might be a poor result for a dude who speaks about modern day corruptions to be licensed to one of the… 7ish Major media companies in the US? Mediaopoly, Mediaopoly-
This dude is cool. I really like the melody, his lyrics and the whole vibe really, snickering at the madness all around us. Enjoy the ride everyone. God is with you. ♥
Thanks for the songs, Jesse, you are the age of my sons, lol, but I guess I am always going to be a rebel, it’s in my name. I love all your music, especially the Dylan tunes!! Please do Tom Thumb Blues, that’s my favorite Dylan song, after Knocking on Heaven’s Door. I’m the type of person who lives for music. I married a musician, my sons are artists and musicians too, so are their wives, and by beautiful grandchildren. Oh lord, what kind of world are we leaving for our kids, our grandkids!!!??? I’m serious, How The HELL do we change it? All I can do is be kind, give and except love and rock out to music, I can barely sleep without music, it’s just a must for me.❤❤❤❤
I love that RUclips knows to recommend him to me, whatever corner he may lie in on this website. This is fantastic, and I especially loved the description so we could learn more about him... he's a bit of an enigma on his own channel. I wish there was an interview with him to further understand some of his insight and seeming existentialism. I think I'd enjoy listening to what he has to say about the world and how he interprets his place in it.
@@xXSprMgaAwsmFxyHtXx My use of that word wasn't as much in reference to his song lyrics/writing as it was to the description of this video, which includes a little about his motive for releasing music.
'Erich Fromm's existential theory is based on the idea that life is a contradiction since humans are both a part of nature and separate from it.' Your use of the word is fitting here I think, and you could try to look up "Welles talks Red Trees and White Trashes on Q1043 New York" showing in my recommends ✌✌
Jesse’s been my fav artists for the past couple of months. Really just enjoy his style and rasp. Hard to find any music lately that feels authentic, so he’s like a lucky gem among the rubble. Felt the same way about Phoebe Bridgers years ago before she really took off.
the greatest generation didn’t get a mention, but they raised those boomers you know. they oversaw expansion of standard oil’s mansions and threw protections out the win… dow. love your work. ☮️❤️🌏🌍🌎
Great song. This has all been going on for a long long time. Way longer than the baby boomers... at least 7 generations before. But we can wake up and see. More power and happiness to you Sir.
It’s like the song has always existed, but was only waiting for this time to remind us of its existence.
😂🎉
Timeless relevance is the foundation for great folk music
well said!
I think that's because it has always existed in all of us. The song is the street we all paid for. We're just trying to get home and taking the long way.
I think cuz its extremely derivative slop
Jesse Welles is an American treasure.
I’m old! I was worried about who would take Prine and Dylan’s place. Thank to god I got to see it before I passed on.
and He's Priceless or NOT For $ale... Payola Payola
These people all singing in the woods are the first of our people for decades who’ve had a real voice.
Not just, could sing.
I mean, experienced our life, captured it, and threw it to the rest of the world to see through our lense for the first, and maybe only time ever. This is the beginning of an incredible moment.
agreed
Amen.
It won't be long 'til the finale

Where were you born?
he sings the truth.... thats beautiful. He Is the true artist.... as they all should be, but there's no business in telling the truth.
I think Jesse would sing something like "you've been everywhere, man... you've been everywhere", or something similarly simplistically poignant.
Koa Tao in the house!
Tell me your wild rich and privileged without saying it

Short, sweet and to the point. Nice song, Jesse.
Haven’t heard one of those brilliant reflection of society songs in a while , good on yuh young man . Speak any truth you got and aee
Beautiful imagery
Brilliant ! Many thanks From Belgium.
I was watching a previous video on 1.5 speed and didn't realize it transferred over. You sound even better with a faster tempo!
I think 1.25x is the sweet spot, at least on this song
