@@stoned420ifly ZOOM, right over your head! I was relating his music to music I heard back in MY day. Bob Dillon, Arlo Guthrie, John Prine, etc. Then I used the name of his song in part of my comment; "That Can't Be Right"
“Most of life is wishing, trying to get back, to a memory of a memory, you never might have had.” Dang Jesse, you’re a true artist. Thanks again brother 🙏
"my friends would try and cheer me up the best they knew to do there's no rescuing a diver with two cinder blocks for shoes" I felt these lines in the core of my being.
To all Jesse Wells fans he just had an album drop on Apple Music. It’s got a a lot of the songs we’ve fell in love with. It the same Jesse , just his voice and his wonderful guitar picking. I suggest people support this artist. We already know his got a cool thing going on. The name of the Album is Hells Welles.
Dang Jesse is slamming out bangers daily. He's my favorite artist right now. I like all his songs. This one is one of his especially good ones. I'm amazed every time. I want to buy all his songs.
Real music, from a good heart and deep soul. No drum machines, no auto tune, no multiple takes. Welles works for over a decade and makes no headway in music. Then he strips away everything. No band. No production values. No nice gear. He wandered into the woods with a funny old guitar so it's just pure, unadulterated Welles, and it's what we were all waiting for without even knowing it.
I will say it sounds like his voice is a little rougher and I can't help but wonder if something happened there, medically or just living too hard on the road or whatever LOL. As a singer, I'd imagine that can be pretty fucking devastating, And I hope that if he worried, He can rest assured now that he found a good Lane. That said, If it's just a way that he can work his voice and still has his more polished version, Good on him!
How about you use his art to try and create the genius you yourself feel you need ? Maybe we should have a true democracy and not a temporary elected dictatorship lol ? Maybe the idea that someone is coming to "save us" keeps us from svaing ourselves? Just possibly.. but that cant be right ? Can it ?
As I sit here in my hotel ready to play my corporate music director gig tomorrow, and after 3 decades in pop music this guy comes along and reminds me with a swift punch to the gut why picked up a guitar in the first place. I’m so humbled and inspired right now. Thanks Jesse. Real art real music real performance.
Greatest American songwriter of all time. It will take a lot of beautiful words in proper order to convince me otherwise. A man, a guitar, and a harmonica have found a place in my heart forever.
America is not dead. Neither is humanity. The art of writing compelling lyrics with deeper meaning than “oh baby baby” is not dead yet either. Thanks for reminding me and all of us.
My goodness real talent for a change. I'm 84 and just never thought I'd ever hear fabulous musical material like this ever again before I croak. Thank you Jesse Welles. Now don't you go letting this go to your head but this old boy says you sir, are genius. Wow!!!!🎶👋🥰
I agree with your comment one hundred percent. I am so happy I came across this young man, he has an outstanding talent. There is nothing like good music to stimulate your inner feelings make you feel alive, happy, put a smile on your face you feel joyful. I have felt all of these emotions while listening to this young man. The wonderful thing about good music age has nothing to do with it because it takes us to a different place it is wonderful. This young man has a very special talent, he has been blessed. I think age is just a no, we are as old as we think, it is best not to get hung up on a number if we are healthy. I think Jesse will appreciate your positive comment, he certainly deserves it. I like you wasn’t borne yesterday as they say I have been around for a time myself . I think we know good music when we hear it because we have heard the very best in days gone by.
This Lyrical poet of space and time. He has no problem , making stuff rhyme.The way he sings,He’s one of kind.This genius of language really blows my mind.
I've been writing music as well for years but just kept it in my secret place for fear of negative comments before, now I think that is about to change. Thank you, Jesse Welles, I guess fear is really a mind killer.
@@mandla-nkosi Fear is your worst enemy that lies within you holding you back from accomplishing what you can in life. You are your own worst enemy if you don’t let go of fear. It not what others think or feel it is what you are doing to your self by allowing fear to hold you back, that blame lies within you, go for it you have everything to gain.
He’s not famous but he helps me with my daily life. He spits out words of wisdom and he will do it twice. I listen to his songs and hope I get it right
Another absolutely perfect song! This guy just flat out does not miss. God I love the recent resurgence of popularity in folk/Appalachian-esque music. I'm in my thirties and my parents were a bit older compared to my friends, so while they were all listening to the new Toby Keith albums, I was listening to John Prine. Thank you Jesse, for not only helping to bring back my love for these "simple" folk songs and restoring my faith in humanity a bit.
Jesse, you have been lifting my spirits since March, when my mom died, you blew up on RUclips the day my mom died. Thank you for being so incredible and generous, giving us all your talents.❤
I fucking hope he actually has this much output and isnt just dropping a backlog of songs cause I dont want this release schedule to end any time soon. Its unlike anything out there and jumped me out of my jaded music nerd slump.
Dang I appreciate your use of language. "Time is not a mirror it's some distorted view of the way you thought you was and what you thought they thought of you"- is just the truth man.
That's what I was hearing, too, some John Prine vocals. Lyrics are otherworldly!!! Guthrie and Dylan. What a picker. Great harp! Full-blown entertainer of the century!
I can’t believe how prolific he is, writing so many songs and you’d think some would have to suffer in quality but that’s not the case at all. He’s incredible
Rats chewed through my walls, roaches in all my good food, atleast i got this song for my melancholy mood, my wife done left me those kids were never mine but i gor this song on RUclips for a good time, despite my mother passing and them kids bein gone, i got a playlist that will always include this song.
I keep coming back to this song. I have played it more times than any song since I was a kid back in the 70's. Now I'm going back to play the BUGS song again. Heart full of love.
One of his best, I can’t believe he can write all these amazing songs one right after another. Just a wellspring of creativity and I’m happy to witness it.
I really like this dudes style. And thats rare for me. Im sitting here thinking, that cant be right. Time to watch some more videos of his to confirm this new source of quality entertainment
Just to echo the general sentiment: youre something really special, hope you really know that. Seemingly writing songs like someone blows their nose, but theyre such well written songs: REAL music from the heart that hits the listener right in theirs. Truly special; so happy to have found your music, thanks for making it.
Although I do give youtube money for no commercials (smartest move ever as adblocker makes everything jumpy). When Jesse pours his album on wax I will buy 5 copies for me and my friends. I will drive up to a 300 mile radius to see hm. If I can get a ticket:) Let's make sure to support him and his journey. Free is good...but it is still a 4-letter word to the Troubadour on the road...💸
This is my favorite song of yours, Jesse. Incredible lyricism, I can tell you sing what you know and your way of speech is really delightful. I cannot stop listening and contemplating, but I guess that is the purpose, eh.
I watched my dad die last week and all I can manage is sitting on my porch for >5hours screaming Jesse's lyrics. Nothing ever hurt me so bad, but this music warms my bones.
Aw man, I feel for you deeply - thank goodness for music in these situations. My uncle died of a heart attack at my house last week and I’m right here with you, sitting on my porch right now chaining smoking and drinking coffee letting this music heal my soul. Virtual hugs my friend 🫂❤️🩹
@@ARareAndDifferentTune_13 I'd like to say it gets better but I don't think it does, we just get better at wearing our masks. One love, sweet internet stranger; I hope you find peace 🕊️
Wow. 😭🥰 I'm so glad you decided to put out this RUclips channel of just awesome you-ness without the label polish. Love yiur other music too, but this is so special. The world needs you-you right now. Needs these messages. 💜
You can't never know you're happy if you've never lived without. Amazing line.. In sixty years I hope your name is remembered in the same way Dylan's is today.
Its like God fuzed Morrison and Jagger in appearance, with the voice and charisma of Dylan. The style is great -not entirely his own innovation - but the literary substance? Ingenious. Unique. Can't get enough!!! What Jesse has done is something I've never seen or even conceived of before. He seems to have fused social commentary with American folk...it still breaks my brain how specific and direct he can preach about the absurdity of our society without interfering with the flow of the music. Can't say enough about how good this motherfucker is, and it's a tragedy that today's celebrity (puppet) music industry suppresses artists like him, whereas in the golden era of creative freedom that was most of the last century, I've no doubt he would've been an absolute superstar from the jump. But who knows, maybe in time he will reach that level as I believe he deserves.
All these comments of how he sounds like others, I personally think he is unique in his own right. As far as all the comparisons I believe he is absolutely on their level, no doubt. Mr Welles I love what you have done and hope you bless us with your amazing ability to weave tapestries in song for many years to come.
Bro I hope you know what you have here, and how important this kind of thing is in our times. You could fulfill millions of people's wishes for music to be good again. You have enough material, for a couple albums, more importantly, say you come out with a first album, you have enough classics for an album with zero filler, and every song to be a hit
Man I’m so loving finding Jessie today, been watching his library all morning. Wow, talk about sharing heart and soul with us!!grateful!!! Great job on your song too man.🖐
🤍 I like the people who like you, Jesse. I think they may be my people, too. You're bringing us together. And that's alright.
We hear you😊

But maybe it could

Right on brother, a good comment is always appreciated!
I'm pretty sure he uses older tunes and tweaks them a bit with the rhythm and lyrics.

Real music, from a good heart and deep soul. No drum machines, no auto tune, no multiple takes.
Welles works for over a decade and makes no headway in music. Then he strips away everything. No band. No production values. No nice gear. He wandered into the woods with a funny old guitar so it's just pure, unadulterated Welles, and it's what we were all waiting for without even knowing it.

"You can't never know you're happy if you've never lived without" I love that line as true and bitter as it resonates with me

The midwest bob dylan/billy bragg we been needing but don't deserve.
His voice reminds me of John Prine at times too
I appreciate how prolific you are. You are truly an inspiration.
"you never know your happy unless you live without" really touched me, its so relatable
Love your work man you remind me of John Prine and early Dylan. Highest compliment I can give.
America is not dead. Neither is humanity. The art of writing compelling lyrics with deeper meaning than “oh baby baby” is not dead yet either. Thanks for reminding me and all of us.

This put a grin on my face and warmed that blackened heart of mine. I feel like he is single handedly reviving a part of my soul I long thought dead.
I can't be the only one that rewinds these videos every other bar to experience what he said a second time, right?
Lyrics are in description to sing along 🎤 🎶 🤙🏻
That can't be right
I just set them on loop for 8 or 10 times. 😏
I put captions on to enjoy the lyrics, they're mostly correct 😊

Old soul right there.
HOW is every song so goddam good?? Its incredible.
Goddamn, dude. You just keep getting better and better. I don't even know what else to say.
