I wish more people would pass along potential great singers like Jessica to their friends so she doesn't just disappear. If you like it send it to someone who you might think will like it also. Thanks
+Linda Parranto I hope you are still around to answer me! :) What station is playing Jessica? Even if it was just the one time that you heard it that they played her, I want to know of they have a stream online? I will listen and support them!
+TimBurFilms I am not positive, my gut guess was The Loon, but I am actually thinking it may have been NPR. The Loon really makes sense though, they have a lot of variety.
beautiful song, similarities to many things in her music, all mentioned below plus placebo too, not really a bad thing to sound like great tunes from bands you love! think this album is great personally...
@@Echolailia That cover is brilliant. Its the best nirvana cover ever, no-one will ever come close, I was doing Nirvana songs tonight, maybe me maybe with a band but probably not.
I'm an old rocker who has listened to Blue Oyster Cult since the 70's and all the comments about Don't Fear The Reaper, hell I just don't get it! To me this sounds nothing like BOC, just my two cents...
Agreeing with you Kelly. There are tonal similarities with the guitar lick but two very different songs. I've spent a good deal of time with BOC and I can pretty well assure you that they wouldn't object one bit to this. Probably cheer her on in fact. Pretty good tune.
Sad to know that this was written/recorded when she was in the middle of an abusive relationship. Lyrics take on a whole new meaning if you think abt how terrible he was to her. The man standing behind her in the end. She’s the one being watched. She said she calls those years of her life,” the bunker years” jfc. I’m glad she’s good now
I like her music a lot, but abuse is a 2-way street. No one but her & him know for sure what happened. If you listen to these lyrics, she wasn’t too easy to be around, either. Yes, it’s a song, and songs can be fictional, and they can be real-life, but most are a little of both. Listen to the words of most of her songs, and she sounds like it’s tough to be in a relationship with her, but that’s part of what makes her songs so great. I personally think she’s wonderful, but I don’t know her personally. I only see her from afar. Peace.
im not a guitar gear fein , i have the sound i want but i really wanna know is that guitar super compressed to get that uh awesome scream even on an ipad or such...? i would guess its some expensive analog rack gear but i would be really happy to hear its a plug in. please, anyone who knows for sure?! kind thanx
It kind of has a blue oyster cult vibe but I'm pretty sure Don't fear the reaper isn't the only song Blue Oyster Cult wrote. To me it sounds more like stevie nicks anyways. Either way it's a good song
@Alvenbeen94 In our post-modern stone cold cocaine world we should say "don't fear the dreamer"... obviously we're not in 1969 anymore and those 69 sex positions in options... I'm a Blue Oyster Cult fan "addictionally"...beyond their most popular songs...
Yeah, she may be jumping into some Oyster game but she has a wealth of songs shes written. ANd, i put her up against any asshole thats relevant now as a singer song writer
Man if this was the 90s this would be on played twice per hour
I wish more people would pass along potential great singers like Jessica to their friends so she doesn't just disappear. If you like it send it to someone who you might think will like it also. Thanks
sending it to all my friends. different songs. I agree. For sure
I’d like to hear the song in 3/D
Awesome, thanx NPR for turning me on.
Come As You Are + Dont Fear the Reaper + an anti stalker message = pure genius
good fucking read sir.
@Paul sansonetti i dont get it.
@Paul sansonetti which is ironic, because i dont remember posting my original comment either LOL
Currently obsessed with this album! Seriously so good.
I love how the guitar parts in her songs seem to jump out from the forest and take you by surprise.
GREAF
Jessica Lea Mayfield is my best musical discover of 2019! Love her.
There was a part of my life where I could totally relate to her in this video, lol. She really captures a feeling here!
This is really good.
amazing
Me encanta !!
Man I love her.
Great song.
💗💗💗💗
I know how to play this and don't fear the reaper on guitar, she does NOT rip that song off
love the sound, love her look. a big hell yes. and that slight twang.. woof
Heard this on 89.3 Cleveland.
Oh, holy shit. I heard this on the radio, loved it and just assumed she was huge. More people have to hear this.
+Linda Parranto I hope you are still around to answer me! :) What station is playing Jessica? Even if it was just the one time that you heard it that they played her, I want to know of they have a stream online? I will listen and support them!

I'm insane!
beautiful song, similarities to many things in her music, all mentioned below plus placebo too, not really a bad thing to sound like great tunes from bands you love! think this album is great personally...
we love you.
Absolutely blown away.
i love this song!
i love this album.
What this song needs is more cowbell!
love it
Dark and creepy video, I love it. I also love your music, it is something special :)
Love this chick 🖤
That guitar tone though
Album of the decade.
Is it just me or does she kind of sound like a female Kurt Cobain of Nirvana?
A bit yeah, makes her even more awesome.
Come As You Are kinda ;)
+mae kim yeah but Blue Oyster were prior to Nirvana
Check out her cover of Lounge Act.
@@Echolailia That cover is brilliant. Its the best nirvana cover ever, no-one will ever come close, I was doing Nirvana songs tonight, maybe me maybe with a band but probably not.

pretty much. Nice!
agreed!

Probably cheer her on in fact. Pretty good tune.
Bit like Burning for You, I think, but yeah BOC is largely a lot heavier and more 70ish in their sound. I hear more Hole's "Doll Parts" than I do BOC.
I love you mami
What the fuck.. so good. How is this not universally acclaimed?

So underrated!!!
She writes in some ways like Stevie Nicks, and in this song, Neil 😒 Young.
Don't Fear the Reaper!
tem outros BRs invadindo aqui?
Tem!
It's not the same as Don't Fear the Reaper lol
Sounds more like a Nirvana B side
im not a guitar gear fein , i have the sound i want but i really wanna know is that guitar super compressed to get that uh awesome scream even on an ipad or such...? i would guess its some expensive analog rack gear but i would be really happy to hear its a plug in. please, anyone who knows for sure?! kind thanx
or better yet if you know its a pedal!!!! thatd be awesome!
***** its either flanger or a phaser.. hope that helps man. or it could be a chorus with the speed knob turned up.
She uses a baritone guitar and it sounds like a chorus to me.
***** yea, i would say its a chorus with a 12 string guitar
All songs get recycled in some way man, lol I can see how it sounds similar but it's not the same.
It kind of has a blue oyster cult vibe but I'm pretty sure Don't fear the reaper isn't the only song Blue Oyster Cult wrote. To me it sounds more like stevie nicks anyways. Either way it's a good song
The Female Kurt Cobain.
Blue Oyster Cult LOL Don't feel the Reaper
+Emma Louie I thought so too! But nonetheless she's a talented songwriter and this is a pretty great song
+pinkyandthesheep heheheheheheheh!classic..I can never hear enough cow bell jokes ...it's like farting it is funny every time !
One of the only shows I ever walked out of.
dont fear the reaper?
She has no eyebrows in this video! That's why she looks cray cray to me.
Sounds like she ripped off Don't fear the reaper
needs more cowbell.
female elliot smith
