[@allengervais6428]

2 months ago i clicked on war isn't murder.. two days ago I booked a flight from Canada to San Fransico just to see you. You're the shit man thank you

[@Abigail-gp9pf]

Mood

[@Maria-n6t2d]

I’m jealous! Enjoy! ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️

[@birdflipper]

He sure is, and so are you!

[@williamhugo6359]

Way to take action. I admire that. Jesse is the shit

[@yogibhadrapala]

3:38 awesome

[@idfkmanok1117]

“change is in the air” so are my arms every time jesse welles drops a new song

[@Patricschannel]

My brother and I drove from Detroit to see you at the Basement in Nashville man. You’re talented beyond words. Keep spreading your messages, the world needs it.

[@nickofalltrades5303]

“For things to stay the same around here, there’s going to have to be some change.” Very deep

[@bencovey3061]

If this came out in the 70s i guarantee it would be one of the all time classics. It still can be of course. What a gorgeous song

[@donchristianmusic9353]

He is the best lyricist I've ever heard in my 69 years of life period. Every single song is lyrical perfection.

[@jimrebr]

Me too, and I am a 55’er too, still look and feel young

[@ppmochi]

"I got problems like a space station - troubles like a russian doll" Chefs kiss man, you are makin' magic

[@jimrebr]

Agreed 💯 %❤❤❤❤

[@KindWanderer94]

It never ceases to amaze me how many bangers you drop so consistently its crazy.

[@kimdolly]

Dear God, keep this young man safe and continue to bless his lyrical genius. Sincerely, from a 71 year old fan of Woody, Arlo, Bob, Jim, and Jesse. ❤

[@tylerehrlich1471]

Amen

[@danfoss1535]

Throw in a little Roger Miller

[@rustyreid]

"Troubles like a Russian doll." Great line.

[@NamYoungtuc]

The chord changes with the c major b minor to a..absolutely gorgeous 🎉

[@fretfix1]

Now I know my A, B, C's...tell me what you think of me:)

[@Anonymous-km5pj]

Thumbs up like I know !

[@simplewormonastring6869]

You ever thought you were born in the wrong generation cause of a song? Well this is one of those songs that if you were born 50 years in the future you’d wish you were born in this generation.

[@jskylark3693]

Hopefully some artist comes along after being inspired by these songs. They take a chance and cover a song an just blow those kids minds too

[@potatoman7594]

history repeats itself and all that.

[@Babybrayne]

Yes or when I heard my grandparents talk about the golden age

[@EvilDoctorMcBob]

It seems fate to romanticize history. 😂 Would love the strong economy of decades ago, serving in Vietnam, not so much. Guessing 50 years from now they won’t be thinking about how crap the home and medical markets are (hopefully) lol

[@ReginaRedding]

30 seconds in and my mind was instantly transported back to the 70's when I was a kid... this song stole my heart🖤🔥

[@masonhogan8525]

Ive been listening to jesse since I discovered him on instagram shorts. Im not big on country and folk music but this guy is brilliant. Reminds me of Bob Dylan. Alot of people say John Prine but I've never heard him. All i know is I'm over the moon that I discovered Jesse Welles. I hope he blows up. He deserves it.

[@GonerDoug]

Tell a friend, be the ch-ch-ch-change!

[@elizabethcanterbury1507]

Yes! JOHN PRINE IS GONE BUT I HAVE SEEN HIM MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT DT CHICAGO AT A PLACE CALLED MINSTRELS…. ALSO LONG GONE! JESSE WELLES IS THE BOMB!! LOVE HIM!

[@danielhopp7999]

If he don't the world ain't right

[@lshwadchuck5643]

Jesse said John Prine in a song.

[@NASkeywest]

I can’t even fold my laundry a this guy drops classic new songs everyday. I’ve never felt so inept

[@rmaatn606]

You are not inept. You definitely need to stop comparing yourself to others though :) ❤

[@Tony-yd1vx]

No need to fold laundry.

[@mitchellalexander1581]

"For things to stay the same around here, there's gonna have to be some chaaayeannge!"~ A frickin legend This line got me deep in thought 💭💭💭

[@millennialanimal]

“For things to stay the same around here, there’s gonna have to be some change” fooking genius!

[@paulnicholson92]

A rolling stone don't gather moss, keep it lit man.

Your a genuine story teller, keeper of deep waters, genius, any other cool title man your it

[@luizhenriqueschaffazick1878]

oh boy, nothing like a dose of bittersweet melancholy on a monday night to remind you that everything falls apart while we hold on to what little we can

[@Rileymac]

❤

[@shawnpalmeronlinemusicless6767]

You truly are one of the greats. You are what this world is screaming for. Thank you. Thank you. Merci.

[@RobinKline-d3j]

Yes, so needed

[@jessovenden]

Our souls (may) have been crying out for your songs Jesse.

[@ironickusername]

Yet another banger! Songs like these seem to make me feel a little less alone, and I know I’m not alone in that feeling. Thanks for sticking around.

[@philiplavere]

Every day I think I have a favourite Jesse song. Then he drops another. One of these amazing gems is going to go viral for one reason or another, and then people will be astounded by what they find when they look him up. Not just a few more tunes, but a mother load of talent, skill, passion, and honesty where each song is the best one in its own way.

[@TomRehm-j9k]

so beautiful, love the nod to Bowie. You are some kind of new poet with so many musical allusions. You give me hope for this world. I hope you just keep on keepin on this wonderful feast of music. Thank you so much Jesse.

[@carlosgaspar8447]

and a bit of dylan at the beginning.

[@user-us4dj9tv7j]

It's magical the way you come up with songs so often.

[@GebbzSteelo]

that bumblebee that flys by at 1:27 is perfect

[@jaromsmith4429]

That's where he got inspiration for today's song "bugs"

[@TeeKing]

That slight nod to Bowie went right to the heart. 💙 He's probably listening from somewhere very interesting and ethereal.

[@elainebueller5235]

Ran to the comments to see who else noticed 👍

[@Maria-n6t2d]

He absolutely is!

[@steeliewheelies]

Blows my mind people actually take time out of their lives to complain about some aspect of your music or performance…you’re doing everything just right. You’re being you, and that’s what us fans are here for. Thanks for another great tune

[@amileinmyshoes24-7]

“I got problems like a space station baby, troubles like a Russian doll”… goddamn Jesse… how to you pack so much imagery and meaning into 13 words?

[@chandlermiller3944]

"for things to stay the same around here there’s gonna have to be some change" A pure poet that cuts deep enough to leave a scar on my brain forever.

[@ForestGumption]

The feeling this song gives me is completely indescribable. Like I want to cry but also be happy I don’t know man. Been listening to this trucking down the lonely northern roads in Ontario. This and apocalypse love are my go to’s right now

[@djbny2la]

An overnight sensation 15 years in the making.....

[@memyselfandi7886]

I love how you are always putting out new songs. I look forward to seeing push notifications from you

[@BRamz_121]

Started reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine. The writing still stands up today just as it did in 1776. "Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. "

[@Anonymous-km5pj]

ahh, the fresh stench of communism on a spring day.... “We’re surrounded , they’re on our left, they’re on our right, they’re behind us and they’re in front of us. They can’t get away this time”!!! Chesty Puller

[@TurtleTunes1960]

Best singer/songwriter of the Century!

[@ReginaRedding]

I WOULD SOOO BUY THIS ALBUM/CD JUST FOR THIS ONE SONG!! 🙌🏼🎓🏆🙏 oh man, gotta tell ya, this song melted me 😌 the lyrics, the vibe, time travelled me right back into the 1970's laid back, breezy summers, gentle warm yellow sun, listening to the stereo...jeez o man, I can already see this song becoming a hit! 🎯🤗🥳

[@justin.8777]

Dude this is amazing. Blown away by every single upload, can't wait to see you in NY!

[@jonathanboswell2336]

The public wants so much from this dude right now. He’ll give it to us in time. Be patient.

[@jonathanboswell2336]

Jesse, let’s jam.

[@quantuseagle1920]

Writing songs is instinct for Jesse. It's amazing how many songs in such a short period of time. This is unseen in the mainstream music industry. This man is specific.

[@we.r.wine.bottles.im.at.work.]

It's incredible and I'm hooked

[@JiminySnicket]

The times they are a-changing, baby!! Another GEM!! You can really feel the joy and raw emotion coming through in every performance!! This doesn't happen often ya'll, DON'T SLEEEP!!!! RUN UP THOSE STREAMS ON JESSE'S SPOTIFY WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!!

[@sherinicoleproffittofproff1159]

Thank you for coming to Portland in 2025! I’m old now but you are the voice that this world needs to listen to. Don’t run yourself down with touring but you get out there and let those dreams fly!

[@keyanuka]

Jesse, that is your catchiest riff yet. Totally pure.

[@PeggyRathke]

I am in awe of your craftsmanship and divine gift you share with us!!! Beautiful. It all must feel so freeing to you. Enjoy Jesse ❤

[@sammi01010]

one of the best song writers to live

[@globetrucking4154]

Agreed. He's really incredible!

[@GreggOliverBass]

Jesse - I've been doing this a long time... you've got a grip on it... stay independent and never stop writing what you feel

[@topherjones3898]

As always, beautiful Jesse! Thank you so much

[@dresdensdoom]

Again, GRAMMY WORTHY. Bravo, Jesse Wells.

[@OhYouDontKnowMe]

Oh wow, Jesse this is stellar! Thanks for coloring the air waves with your music, you are truly valued and appreciated ❤

[@TressaLarge-f3v]

Love everything this guy does so happy I found him

[@PaulReed-lj2ym]

You got that.

[@tym9213]

I been sharing his music with everyone I know

[@tym9213]

I'm Canadian, never been on a plane. It's time, are you coming to Canada on a day with tickets available? I'll travel if not

[@tym9213]

I feel the same way. Jesse Welles tunes found me just as I have started breaking free from a hard depression. I've laughed cried danced and slept to this music in the last 2 months

[@davelebowski2859]

Great song, incredible performance. This might be my go to song when I show people my new favourite artist

[@blindmown]

I don't know if you read these comments Jesse, but I just wanted to say that you changed my life. I've been in a rut for 5 years now, slowly wasting away in a state of despair and depression. It was your music that got me back into playing guitar. Playing music again revived something in me I thought had died (my spirit I guess). I've started taking my medication again, I've been playing music all the time, I'm finding happiness again. Thank you for your music, you probably saved a life.

[@Joshua-gt7pz]

Good on you, man. As someone still in it, never come back here. Blessed be.

[@rheamusic314]

That is beautiful 💖

[@blindmown]

​​@@Joshua-gt7pz much love brother. You'll see the other side of that feeling one day.

[@kimdolly]

I'm so proud that music has healed you a little. Sometimes, all we need is a reason. Bless you going forward. 🙏

[@ioncewasmikey]

Hey guys, If these comments prove anything, it's that we're not totally alone in this. I've been depressed for as long as I can remember, but in the last 5 years, have undergone many life-altering "changes." You could definitely call what I've been in a rut, one with a deep bottom. Been trying to claw my way out of it these past 5 years, on & off a number of meds & other substances prescribed by a doc & otherwise. I went off the prescriptions a couple years ago, couldn't tell you if that's a good or bad thing. But just be careful with those- depending on what it is, there has been new info on some of that stuff that has come to light in the last few years. But if it helps, it helps. I've been struggling to find passion of any kind, but some of Jesse's songs here have uncovered a tiny ember of hope somewhere inside me. Music seems to be the only thing that has that power. Haven't figured out how to harness it yet. I've been wanting to get back into music myself, just struggling to fight away the inertia. I don't really know what my point here is other than just to say, please hang on. We're not always going to be strong, we just have to keep keepin' on. I wish you both, and anyone who reads this who needs it, the absolute best in your lives. 🙏✌️

[@Sicaughtik]

I don't know how I skipped over this track but I found it now. I love your music, Jesse.

[@RobinKline-d3j]

I love you, poet, troubadour, voice for all of us... not talkin bout your hair

[@dude1519]

I forgive the algorithm for taking so long to show me this talent. But I look forward to bragging that I subscribed when he was only at 200k subscribers.

[@tedium37]

"For things to stay the same around here, there's gonna have to be some changes" is strong poetry. Love it! Hope he wrote it. Another great one.

[@itsfriedeggs]

Chills at every song you put out man. You see such poetry in the world "it’s gonna be a long cold winter but i’m glad we got to hang for things to stay the same around here there’s gonna have to be some change"

[@CTTU420]

Raw and pure as it should be! Keep doing it that way! Love it.

[@Robert-n6p]

I'm constantly turning people on to Jesse...it's a special talent to make people feel what they hear ❤

[@loulasher]

I can't get over how much this tune rocks. The Bad Co. reference is sweet.

[@davidpeterson2726]

This guy can’t miss. Still waiting for a bad song, don’t think it’ll happen. If anything, his lyrics provoke thought. And don’t get me started on his guitar playing. 🔥

[@jaysonprater2743]

Jesse, somehow you manage to perfectly capture the things I'm experiencing on my own journey in your songs. This is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. I'll be a lifelong fan.

[@bricewatkins2355metalhead]

Right on. ❤️❤️❤️

[@petergiaschi35]

The half-smile is brilliant: "I'm just kidding..." And lots of Bowie references! Nice.

[@Fake_Robot]

I hope this one gets the full production with a backing band. Such a cool song lyrically and musically.

[@crispinleslie]

Noooo! I hate overproduction. Raw and unplugged is the best.

[@allisonsanders3384]

He never disappoints. Love this guy's work!

[@jumeau1]

love the Bowie reference. Not sure how you keep writing so much good music but keep on keeping on.......

[@ThePeaceableKingdom]

I can't get tired of hearing another song from this guy

[@BlackGuardXIII]

Another of Jesse’s seemingly endless supply of great tunes.

[@rexduffy7881]

This guy is so addictive , its great he's releasing new material almost daily .

[@Florian1260]

Sensational. I love this song. Thank you Jesse

[@pepehorowitz]

Cut an album man. We all want it!

[@gorilives]

His videos are so raw, even bugs jamming as they fly by.

[@brettlindsay3027]

Your music is beautiful and has been getting me through every day these past few months

[@LivingRoomRock007]

Paying Homage to Bowie... nice, very nice. Keep that gibson singing

[@reviewerman9786]

Critique of world situation, problems of a Russian doll - just brilliant

[@tracybishop7792]

You’ve put out so many songs I forgot about THIS one! Maybe this one is my favorite. Seriously…picking a favorite of yours reminds me of how I could never choose a favorite Prince song.

[@aspeneagar2421]

"Troubles like a Russian doll" everything about this and all your music man. Just wow as always. Love the guitar a ton in this one toooo

[@eSpanishfly]

Such a great song! I’m back 8 days later listening to it again.

[@globetrucking4154]

Thank You for your music Jesse. Thank You for Dead Indian and Cosmic American. You have never missed IMO. Stay Humble as you become a legend.

[@kvp2az]

I had a hard day at work today. Then you posted and made it better. Thank you❤

[@LangSmith.]

A heartening listen in cold times like these.

[@jamesfairfield3593]

Another excellent song thank you Jesse Wells.

[@codyrestivo3868]

That little noise you make at 2:14 has to be in final product of this song it's so cute amd fun

[@Abigail-gp9pf]

Agreed

[@toddballard-zw5fg]

💯

[@MikeNienow-qr6xt]

So good. Raw, real, and on point.

[@dkidder1367]

His vocals never go off the rails. Even if he did miss one, technically, any note will sound good. Amazing talent

[@RatatatKing]

I'd love to hear this recorded in the studio with electric guitars, drums, etc... sounds awesome. Love that lick after changes in the air

[@Maria-n6t2d]

Hi handsome! CERN is what’s in the air. Stay safe. Love your music. 🙌🏼☮️

[@clnrrr]

The songwriting machine is at it again. Such a good song again

[@hardcyd3r]

This is my new favorite!! Such a sweet melody

[@JV44HeinzBar]

Excellent song. Just another great, positive vibe that I know I'll be listening to again, soon.

[@markgaudreau8053]

[@STEM_RC]

I like them,👍 but I love them ❤

[@lloydharris4565]

Hey Jesse’s playing at Weedstock singing another awesome, new hit song!🎵 🎶Hey, pass me that bong!🎶👋😎👍

[@destinyserrano2409]

What a banger this guy is. Such a gem.

[@philiplavere]

JW got up early to put out this one by the look of the sunrise colors on him. Like he was as excited to share it as we are to hear it.

[@wulf67]

That new Gibson’s singing with authority!

[@ottomatic3123]

I aint talkin bout your hair 🎶

[@sammi01010]

love to see him smile so much

[@gened9787]

I like these videos of you best, the one where I can see what you're playing on guitar, be it your good ole Stella or this new Gibson, both are great. Thank you and Jam On.

[@Michael49ize]

Nice little Bowie nod with the "ch..ch..ch..changes"!! Please consider an Ohio show sometime as well, especially at a small venue. Peace.
