"I've thought an awful lot about Jesus, even more about Lao Tzu They say the way of the Tao is to do not, well what the hell am I supposed to do?" Love it.
If it makes you feel better since he started this channel he's only posted as acoustic stuff I think. Except for the couple shorts recently where he was showing his recording process. He's had two other bands that he rolled toward with before he gave up and then started again on the solo acoustic stuff. You can find that under Welles, and a band named Dead Indian And I'm not sure if that has like a nicer deeper meaning than it sounds or if he was younger and it was edgy lol.
"im singing this song about loving all the people you come to hate" love it. We gotta protect his man at all cost, we know how the power that be feel about those spreading compassion
Love the acoustic in the woods, love the whole band in studio. It's been years since I've been this impressed by a singer/songwriter, and I can't wait for Friday if this is getting officially released.
Sounds great with the full band. Hoping you become the "new Boss" , but not same as the "old Boss". No offense to Bruce, Bob or Pete, but sooner or later, all us old dogs are going to fade away. America and the World needs new voices. Voices that speak truth to power. This kind of recording is going to get you noticed more than just playing solo on the acoustic.
As the ex-wife of a former punk rock drummer, I agree. We NEED to hear the voices of Gen Z! Let’s elevate true musicians like Jesse!! “Make Art, Not War”!!!!!!!!!!
@@BonaFideMugsie1. As the father of a 16 year old , be very careful what you ask for. The climate they grew up in has pushed the males to a position of defiance that you won’t recognize . And I don’t mean in a punk kind of way. Preface this by saying that I’m a pretty center guy. Freedom and liberty believer. Fairness believer and I practice what I preach. But I’ve noticed that the kids are done With the idea of inclusion. Of feminism , and of suffering fools. They’re tired of being demonized. And they’re acting on it. I saw a class of 4.5 -5.0 students basically shame an English teacher out of a job. Because if her repeated dislocated idea that boys were to be kind to girls during debates , but refusing to make the girls reciprocate. Several boys got bad marks for not inserting their thoughts in a timed exercise, and then next time see around berated for forcefully speaking over the girls to get a word out. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. So they staged a mutiny of sorts and ran her from her own class. These are boys with zero past issue with causing trouble. Last week when speaking to my wife about an employee problem she has in the office. My son walks in. Listens for a while and then interrupts and says “ fire her. Problem solved. “. And it was hard to argue with , because he’s actually correct. But the 45 year old me empathizes with anyone losing a good job as this one is. My point is that , I’ve been studying on voting habits etc of Gen z. 😂. They are tired of the doom path we’re on. So I hope you aren’t for free love , peace and status quo. Because it’s about to get upended forever. And I’m pretty sure the status quo knew that , and that’s why the flood of new voters was let in. Times. They are a changing.

"So I'm singing this song about loving/All the people that you've come to hate" He is literally calling us to do the hard thing, the thing we are supposed to be able to find a way to do... love the very people who are hardest for us to love.... "Love is not the answer. It is the assignment." -MLK jr 🥹 ❤️🔥 ☀️
So I've been listening to this on repeat since it came out, belting it in my car, in the shower, just unable to get it out of my mind. I've been on a Jesse Welles trip for a while now but now I'm just obsessed. Fucking great song!
"I wish I paid more attention, to the bigger things I didn't see. " I wish I could unsee the things I think I've seen. Like the hate and dumbness and cruelty of stupidity. Thank you to everyone involved with this musical production. Jesse is a highly talented singer/musician/songwriter and I hope to hear you all again soon.

Today's been a fucking shitty day where I'm tired of everyone's bullshit raining down on me when I'm just trying my fucking best, and that opening B-flat chord progression melted me to tears. Only work I've been able to find in over a year of searching and applications has been my part-time violin teaching position, so hearing beautiful new violin music that isn't Twinkle is like straight whiskey.
I needed this song today. I have been feeling bogged down by a lot of what's going on the more I learn the more I fine to be upset about. I guess the song sort of reminded me that it's okay to take a step back have a breathe and be happy because being upset all the time doesn't help anybody. Love the song and the back up too.❤❤
A friend of mine who lives in SoCal said the other day, as he noticed the sky turning red: "I hope it's just a sunset". Jesse, that'd make a great country tune from ya. This blew me away, man. Thank you.
Dang, Jesse! Y’all build that thing out there in the fields you’ve been roaming? 😁 Great tune, great vibes, as always ✌🏼💚 sending Love and Light from Mississippi. Y’all stay safe and keep taking care of each other.
He’s more of a modern Phil Ochs, Dylan’s meaningful political stances were more fleeting, while Ochs devoted his life to his causes and sang with satirical and political language not present in Dylan’s music, if you love Jesse Welles and Bob Dylan, don’t forget about Phil Ochs
You sweetie are the voice of at least 2 generations. The humanity in every one of your songs is incredibly refreshing and gives me hope that there is someone out there who can see what's goin' on - blinders off.
Third time listening, dude this is fire. You really nailed it guys. The mic needs less correction and less long reverb just make it sound more just exactly like his voice. Try some different mics.
"You know a good song, a really good song can get the job done without the frills. Without drums, or electrified instruments, or any of that." "Yeah... but sometimes it sound good." From a conversation between Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan in the movie 'A complete unknown' I couldn't agree more. Can't wait for the new album, the previews sound awesome!
Just love your lyrics and music. You give me hope in these times. People love you out here! Take care of yourself - Love what you share with us - but want you around a long long time.
"loving all the people that you come to hate" Thank you. I really needed this as a trans woman that has compassion for the world. Between that and it being well made, I've already played it loads of times
I love you my friend and please take care of yourself. -signed a random straight white dude from the south. Stereotypes are just tools for hate but what do I know... I'm just a ignorant redneck. :)
Keep going, Jesse! You seem to be BECOMING our FOLK HERO with you LOVELY WORDS! OUR GENERATION's (ACTUALLY YOUR generation's...) BOB DYLAN...keep writing and witnessing and singing! Thank you!
Wild, a true bard, there should be a club or at least an association. This one i full on cried. Thanks for keeping it real, your service and accepting your calling. I know it's a sacrifice and a blessing.
I think that too from time to time. He’s so obviously borrowing from so many artists that have gone before…. For me, that’s a big part of the deliciousness of what he’s doing. People love to recognize stuff we already know. When I first saw him that was all I could do. But you’re right that he’s his own thing. This song at this moment! Lots of others too, of course. This one is so profoundly what is needed. Someone else called him the new new. I have to agree.
@@neccowaif9He's always been upfront about it too! This bit from an interview he did a few years ago is so refreshing: "We have 50-60 years of rock and roll behind us, and I get to draw from all of it. And why not say, ‘I got this from that, and this from that, and this from that’? Because I did. Whether I want to admit or not or whether anyone else wants to admit it or not. You did. So we live with all of it. We’re blessed. The thing is, Cobain only had like…Lennon, and Bowie, and Dylan, and then some ‘80s artists that I’m not as familiar with. I get Cobain and Lennon, you know?” he said excitedly. “Why not use everything?” "
I really believe what people are trying to say (in their way), is that they recognize that Jesse is definitely the stuff that legends are made of. The collective thoughts of everyone is that Jesse is well on his way to becoming as legendary as they became.

He is so Dylanesque it’s uncanny 🎶
I was there when Welles went electric haha
He’s been electric 😭
@Gleeb_glorb im sure, i just recently started following the channel :)
If it makes you feel better since he started this channel he's only posted as acoustic stuff I think. Except for the couple shorts recently where he was showing his recording process. He's had two other bands that he rolled toward with before he gave up and then started again on the solo acoustic stuff. You can find that under Welles, and a band named Dead Indian And I'm not sure if that has like a nicer deeper meaning than it sounds or if he was younger and it was edgy lol.
Then you're late lol
@@UntetheredBanshee that does make me feel better haha, definitely gonna check that stuff out
"im singing this song about loving all the people you come to hate" love it. We gotta protect his man at all cost, we know how the power that be feel about those spreading compassion
Look up Jesus. I think He talked about the whole love thy enemy.
Right because we did such a good job protecting Luigi.
Yes, exactly! 💜
Never heard someone so down to earth and yet out of this world. Jesse don’t stop, this is what the people need.
This song feels like an antidote to the pervasive bleakness that’s been so hard to shake lately. Thank you ❤️
Love the acoustic in the woods, love the whole band in studio. It's been years since I've been this impressed by a singer/songwriter, and I can't wait for Friday if this is getting officially released.
Luigi and Jesse. The hero’s we’ve been waiting for.

All my flannels made in Bangladesh
All my t-shirts in Vietnam
There are places that we quietly ignore
There are places that we go and bomb
You know I thought an awful lot about Jesus
Even more about Lao Tzu
They say that the way of the Tao is to do nothing
Then what the hell am I supposed to do?
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
The tighter you grip, the further you slip
So I'm singing this song about loving
All the people that you've come to hate
It's true what they say, I'm gonna diе someday
Why am I holding on to all this weight?
You know I really thought that thеre'd be power
In thinking half of y'all was just born fools
Thought I was gathering oats for my horses
I was getting by whipping my mules
I got some bricks so thick that they don't make sense
In the walls up in my mind
But life is pretty short and the road's got forks
So I take them down while I got time
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
The tighter your grip, the further you slip
So I'm singing this song about loving
All the people that you've come to hate
It's true what they say, I'm gonna die someday
Why am I holding on to all this weight?

Thank you for the lyrics... Jesse must have a Shakespearean gene somewhere... it's mind blowing...
Thanks! There were those two lines before the horses and mules I hadn't got yet!
The only modern lyricism that makes me happy I ain't completely alone in sinking deeper.. Thank you for this anthem for the hated Jesse.

This one should dispel any ambiguity about his philosophy. Done.
Jesse's excellence triumphs again.
You are the voice for our times 💪👍😎
I tried to think of words to say how much I love this song, then I realized it's best to just listen.
Thank you for what you do Jesse. thank you for your voice. may grace and peace continue to be with you as you give voice to your passions.
Jess had a band before called Welles. Everyone should check tthem out. They are amazing! Good to see him in a line up again!
Damn Jesse, this moved me to tears. I cant tell you how much i needed this this week. Youre a lyrical genius 💚
i am a 4,000 year old tree spirit inhabiting a rubber chicken and i live in a trailer park outside saskatoon. and i love this song. music is universal
Make sure to eat lots of spinach
This guy is a work horse. He's a music making machine and he isn't sacrificing quality for quantity either!
Jesse’s a force of nature. When he’s performing, and we vibe with him:
That’s the definition of communion.
Amen! 🙏
I just heard this song and the Graveyard song, then looked up his age and was incredibly relieved to see he is over 27.
young people & kids experience loss too unfortunately life is rough 🖤
Took me a second, but good one! Here’s to hoping he stays grounded and is surrounded by kind, caring folks.
Heard this on the radio today. I was like, hey that's Jesse Welles!!
OUR MAN HAS BEEN COOKIN
Played so much in the woods, it came alive and formed a band to play with him. 😎
He has been in many bands if you dig...musical genius in my opinion!!
@Picit-13 We know.

Whoever did the color grading on this video did a great job- also great job Jesse Welles👏
Modern day Bob Dylan, though I fully recognize Jesse as his own.
They all draw on SAME well of brilliance...
