Each song cracks my heart open in a new way. Absolutely brilliant. So grateful Jesse shares himself with us. It's always heartening to come to the comments and see how many people he's affected. We all have so much in common and an artist like Jesse puts it within our grasp. ❤️
¿¿¿unabashed, overt nihilism??? Interesting. Nihilism is a dark, depressing, desolate way to view life--hard to understand how or why people adopt this dismal philosophy. Really helps explain why there's NEVER any suggested resolutions to all the things rhis guy finds to complain about--NEVER suggests any resolutions. But as nihilism goes, there's no point in trying to make life better because nothing has any meaning in life--there's no point to life . . . yep . . . that's the beginning and end of nihilism
It sure is kinda funny, you know . . . considering this guy has never given any indication that he cares about or reads the 10s of 1000s of thoughta of love and support y'all send him . . . no indication at all that he's cared to read a.single character in a comment. Y'all are basically just cheering each other on and being happy. Y'sll built a little ironic community of love from a common interest in someone who doesn't share the same sentiments
@@Thr333_Sugar_SkullsWhat's funny is you are presenting the most nihilistic interpretation of this man's art and the community of people who support it. You are the one who is presenting a perceived problem, without any hope of solution.
And the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature goes to poet, lyricist, wit, composer, singer and all-round genius, Jesse Welles. Congratulations!! Fully deserved. ❤❤❤❤❤
I don't think I've ever commented on a UA-cam video in 20 years, but Jesse your music makes me smile and frown. You've given me the ability to feel emotional again. Please never stop bud. I hope you understand how much you mean to so many people
I have been waiting for a new one from you Jesse. Your outdoor videos and songs have been the sweetest part of this year. I love checking in to find a post only an hour or two online. I love seeing the seasons move through these little low tech masterpieces. You have given the world a wonderful gift and we love you. thanks !
I don’t know about dumber, Ain’t never sounded better to me especially on that beautiful Martin. Someone has really gone to work over the years on that fret board. Love it!
Just fantastic, man. Never stop writing. Always trust your personal writer's instincts. Always. Ignore comparisons by others. Stick with your own wisdom and wit. You're doing beautiful work.
I think I’ll make it through today after listening to that…. No bull. Thanks for another amazing song, what you do matters a whole lot to some of us🙏 goin’ nowhere and I’m runnin’ late….
I feel so strongly compelled to give props that do your work justice, now come on, man! There are only so many words and you crank out SO MANY amazing tunes! Thank you!
this is far too profound for me. only just got it now on the 5th listen when my mind was calm enough to paint the picture of this tale in my mind. beautiful.
It's about damn time someone wrote a song about me, thanks Jesse, you sure are a good friend pal and you also have a pretty cool collection of 6 strings buddy, I bet there's a D20 in there somewhere. You left out the part where the plumber working next door turned off the water without telling me and nearly blew the still up but the rest was on point cuz, I am an expert at being dumb. You are like my own personal audiobiographer....
My sentiments exactly brother.....and I mean exactly!!! Thanks and keep em coming man......and dont waste a single moment. Thanks again for the freedom. ron
Unplug. Log out. Stop staring at screens, (myself included),. Go out and walk. Go to parks. Say " how ya doin'", and really mean it. We've got to get together. Stop the bullshit .
DUDE!!! I knew you were from Minnesota! I recognize that vibe anywhere. As a vocalist myself you have some serious chops man. Blessings. Hopefully I can meet you some day.
Apathy, Man...singin' of the tragically sad truth of many a human beings' conditions these days. And so eloquently narrated too, as I could only expect from Jesse.

Videos been up for 2 minutes, says it has no views, but I'm still like the 22nd comment. Another great song, brother! Is that a Martin I see?? Very nice!
He's playing a Martin 000-15SM. I've seen his Stellas which are classics but no longer made and of course his Gibson guitar. They are all USA-made instruments. He's revitalizing a tradition using the real thing. Love it.
The amount of good songs you create is exhausting.. but I love every single one, keep finding the hits Jesse, thank you so much for sharing with us here. You should create a membership thing so we can thank you with donations.maybe you don't need it, but it builds community.
Hey Jesse, i dont know if you'll see this or not, but ive been going through a pretty rough breakup after i found that my girlfriend of 2 years cheated on me with my best friend on my 20th birthday, which ultimately led to me attempt to take my own life. That happened about a month ago now, and i just wanted to let you know that your music has given me a different outlook on everything, and has helped me recover from my past and i feel almost completely recovered now. Thank you.
I know those feelings, but I never had the guts to admit total defeat until it happened to me a second time, ten years later. Betrayal was an important realization about my mother, in my case, that I was in total denial about for my entire life up to that point. Yet, as crushed as I was, I rose up to live again. A little wiser, a little tougher and whole lot more humble about who was there every single time I got my ass handed to me on a platter. That's the human condition. We wake one another up to it every day. We should be more grateful to these snakes for being who and what they are. I need to quit stepping on or over them, give them a wider berth, and for heaven's sake, stop trying to rescue them or love them in dysfunctional ways. Snakes are what they are and I thank my god for that. Certainty is often in short supply each day, but today I know whose responsibility it is to assess the integrity, character and judgment of the people I sleep with. I have spent more time contemplating mutual funds than I ever did assessing whom I was trusting my sleep to. Women in their teens and 20's are tarts, for the most part, if they're awake and aware. Once we boys hit our 30's, the value calculus changes for the first time in our lives. Women, in the main, become less and less powerful as compared to men from that point, forward. This is truly sad, but it is the way that it presently is, and has been, for some time now. Their value to men used to begin to decline at 15 or 16, back in the day. Progress needs to be acknowledged, but we still have farther to go. Don't do that terminal self-pity shit anymore. Get some help to put some sanity in reserve because life can get even rougher when you are out in the open waters of existence.
Oh honey. You are 20 years old. It may not feel like it right now, but the world is your oyster. As painful as it is, this is a learning opportunity. As a woman, I can tell you that a large percentage of women are selfish and takers. Some of them are really good at convincing you otherwise. Sad but true. This is the only piece of advice you need: When you meet THE ONE you will know it. Absolutely and without doubt. Don't settle till that happens. Good luck to you. Ps. That best friend of yours isn't. Best friends don't do that, period. ♡♡♡
I dont know if this help or not but my friend, we are all out here crashing into each other - sometimes we are a hero and sometimes we are true villain, most of the time we're just trudging through. Its ok to love and give all you got, its ok to lose and get hurt. We dont really know whats on that other side, or even if there is one. But we're all gonna die someday, without having to try. This life might be the only chance we get to do something good, or something worth doing. It feels great sometimes and unbearable at other times but all those moments are temporary. The highs and the lows, they come and go and if you can survive the lows then you also get to ride the waves when theyre high. Its worth living, man. The pain is worth the pleasure if you can just keep going. And you _can_ keep going. Theres no permanent home, no permanent anything and no promises that everything will work out, there just this moment to try and do something thats worth doing. Stick with that and youll be OK. Good luck to you, friend and fellow human.
hate to break it to you bud but Jesse has been making music for a long time now and has played many a headlining tour and opened for some pretty big bands (Greta Van Fleet, Royal Blood, among others). But you'll get there regardless
I want a Martin. I went from having just a Washburn acoustic. Then I found a bunch of broken guitars here and there at work. That's how I got my Epiphone acoustic. Now I have an Ibanez I bought for $100 and a Yamaha acoustic I found at a pawn shop for $125. I'm getting there.
Jesse is the highlight of 2024.
@@dornhaagenson3675 you got that right.
@@dornhaagenson3675 what would we do without fascinating people?
That’s the understatement of the century.
This guy just wakes up in the morning and write a great song like nothing. Jesse is the best lyricist/songwriter for as far as I can remember.

Jesse, I’m a 70 year old man and it’s been many years since I’ve heard someone as talented as you. Love ya man!
I am 75 and concur. This boy is the real deal!
I am 67 and I totally agree!
65 (w/70 hubby), both musicians since early teens - and we also agree... Jesse is truly an incredible talent.
Jesse is helping to provide a common thread for us old folk. I like that, feel part of a group..
And the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature goes to poet, lyricist, wit, composer, singer and all-round genius, Jesse Welles. Congratulations!! Fully deserved. ❤❤❤❤❤

Nothing makes my day more than a Jesse Welles song I can hear for the first time. 1:19
Facts.
Nailed this comment 😂
This is a great song from a great artist. Thanks
“ Even Jesus wants to kick my ass.” That was a great line.
"Keeping it real",Jesse you are about as real as it gets young man.Thank you for sharing your music and yourself with us!

Jesse reminds me so much of singers I heard and liked in the 60’s and 70’s, but still so cool and doing his own thing. New fan here.
He makes me wanna live to hear what he comes up w next❤
😢sweet and sad sauce. 💚🙏🏻
I really appreciate you sharing your songs with us.
If Ignorance is Bliss...knock the smile off my face
I like that.
My father just died and your music is a blessing to me. Thank you Jesse!
I wrote songs and toured the country on them for a decade and, brother, you are a star. Love from Texas.
Like all great troubadours, Jesse is a poet with a guitar. Outstanding!!!✌️
We can’t all be #1. Be like water my friends.🌊 Good one Jesse!👍🐿️
Congratulations 🎉
Close your eyes, and you will see and hear John Prine....... keep rocking brother, Jesse 😎👍
BINGO!!! What a treat, I’ve missed him so.
this made my morning. thank you for existing and for sharing your beautiful art with me.
I don’t know about dumber, Ain’t never sounded better to me especially on that beautiful Martin. Someone has really gone to work over the years on that fret board. Love it!
Nowhere and I’m running late… brilliant
I'm so happy I got recommended this channel a few months back, such an absolute musical gem!
Ya never know what direction he’s going. Praise his too cool And odd mind
I probably should... I probably should 🙂
Usually, I am hanging out on UA-cam...
Either checking out the news or
working out on my own self-help 😉😝
What in the second coming of John Prine is going on here young man?!?! 😲🥰🤩👏👏👏🙌🙌👊 You’ve got IT!! ❤❤❤
We have become comfortably dumb
I took notice of your play on words 👏
Amazing as always.
These videos is the highlight of each day for me.
// Singer (and sometimes songwriter) from Sweden 😍🤗
Great song , makes song writing look easy. That's the way all the great ones do
Just fantastic, man. Never stop writing. Always trust your personal writer's instincts. Always. Ignore comparisons by others. Stick with your own wisdom and wit. You're doing beautiful work.
“Must be hard working on toes” 😂😂😂😂 love it dude
Jesse Welles produces pure poetry.
I love seeing the seasons change around you Jesse! Your enduring talent is a superb contrast to the evanescent seasons.
Reminds me a lot of Todd Snider. And that's a very good thing.
I think I’ll make it through today after listening to that…. No bull. Thanks for another amazing song, what you do matters a whole lot to some of us🙏 goin’ nowhere and I’m runnin’ late….
I swear I have a 6th sense for Jesse's posts, I always open UA-cam just a few minutes after he uploads
I love sharing your beautiful songs. Thank you.
I feel so strongly compelled to give props that do your work justice, now come on, man! There are only so many words and you crank out SO MANY amazing tunes! Thank you!
Thank you Jesse. Love your music always. Much love from the Netherlands

A song called Dumber that made me think. Thank you 🥴 Not sure what that says about me though lol.
John Prine would be so happy!! This is gold!!
John Prine got cut up and passed all around as he wished. I believe Jesse got some of John’s spirit.
glad to see you're doing well, man. I enjoyed working with you on Brother Dog
Are you having a country boy stroke, or are you just referencing a song?

nice, in bed waiting for the acid to wear off, good song man and the bushland behind you is looking very vibrant and beautiful

Tao Te Ching:
[Chapter] Twenty
Give up learning, and put an end to your troubles.
Is there a difference between yes and no?
Is there a difference between good and evil?
Must I fear what others fear? What nonsense!
Other people are contented, enjoying the sacrificial feast of the ox.
In spring some go to the park and climb the terrace,
But I alone am drifting, not knowing where I am.
Like a newborn babe before it learns to smile,
I am alone, without a place to go.
Others have more than they need, but I alone have nothing.
I am a fool. Oh, yes! I am confused.
Others are clear and bright,
But I alone am dim and weak.
Others are sharp and clever,
But I alone am dull and stupid.
Oh, I drift like the waves of the sea,
Without direction, like the restless wind.
Everyone else is busy,
But I alone am aimless and without desire.
I am different.
I am nourished by the great mother.
Another amazing tune as usual. I wish you the best man
Oh man I wish I could go back in time to the day this was posted, and then just stay dumb forever.
This guy is on Mars broadcasting inside your soul
John Prine, Jimmy Buffett, Leo Kottke, AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
Love it great work, peace and love!!!
The boy can write. Reality with pinching sarcasm. One can see his point of view.

Keep on keeping on young warrior. Sending hugs your way.
I know those feelings, but I never had the guts to admit total defeat until it happened to me a second time, ten years later. Betrayal was an important realization about my mother, in my case, that I was in total denial about for my entire life up to that point. Yet, as crushed as I was, I rose up to live again. A little wiser, a little tougher and whole lot more humble about who was there every single time I got my ass handed to me on a platter.
