[@totallynottitan126]

Much appreciate your music, Mr. Welles. Many folks have compared your music to Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, but I’d like to say your style is your own. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@j.j.riverhill2831]

Closer to Arlo but agree he has his own style. Glad he is getting some recognition

[@littlejay2233]

Bob Dylan sucked and half his songs were nonsense bullshit.

[@j.j.riverhill2831]

Bob Dylan didn't suck your insane. He wrote modern day masterpieces, watch some old footage of him in his 20's rather than him in his 60's. If you understand anything about Americano music and the roots where our country music came from you would have a different opinion.

[@sethtoe]

Agreed

[@daddysolaire]

[@ADogNamedElmo]

death is the same as before you were born, a state of no being, in that state, time is relative, and just as before, an eternity will last an instant. i recommend not committing suicide because life is pretty short anyway. good luck

[@wqqdcraft]

please, dont be afraid to dial 988 on your phone if you in america, if you not ill find the number in the country you are in.. dont be afraid to call them.. even if you feel a little bit that way.. they are there to help, its anon, and you wont be judged!

[@Seven-Seas-of-Baba-O-Riley]

If you can manage it, try to promise yourself you won't do it until every part of you has given up. If even a cell in your body wants to keep going, try to hold on. And of course, seek help, try to imagine a future where you'd want to live, and pull every favor you can to help you make it a reality. And try not to let yourself feel guilty, it's not your fault.

This is such a great cover of TVZ’s cover of the Stones song. I love this song so much. When I was 19, my friend Mike had Hepatitis very bad from being a Junkie, he asked me over and over to dance naked on his grave with long stemmed roses, I couldn’t do that much less lie to Mike, like me he loved the Stones and the Grateful Dead …and he morphed our love of them into wishing I would dance with red roses, naked on his grave. Michael was Gay, but he didn’t want to be. He died a little over a week after my 20th birthday. His funeral was huge, my mom and 2 of my sisters & all of close friends were at Michael’s funeral. He promised me that he was going to do something at his funeral to embarrass me and he did!!! I grew up in a large city near Los Angeles, his funeral was in this huge Catholic Cathedral, there were hundreds of people, the police closed one of the main streets in town, there were limos lined up, my mom, sisters, all of my girlfriends were there. We had to cross the big 5 lane street with police 👮 walking us across, I wore this very short dress with beige tights that matched and I did what I always did at 20, and wore tight fitting bikini underwear over my tights to keep them up and high platform heels. In the middle of Olive Street, I felt someone tug my underwear to my ankles, it was Mike, no one else was close enough to even touch me, I had to carefully hunch down (I couldn’t bend over, my dress was too short) and tug my underwear up. Everyone was laughing so hard, yikes, I will never forget & everyone who knew that Mike had promised to embarrass me, laughed even harder 😢😂😮😅😂❤❤

Had one of his Welles albums pre-installed in the music folder on my Asus laptop (which, I still use LOL) I bought back in Sept. 2011 and always really dug listening to it. Dope to see and listen to him doing stuff like this and getting the notice and attention it deserves,😀💚💙❤️💜

This is almost as good as Townes Van Zandt’s cover of Dead Flowers, which the Coen brothers used over the end credits to The Big Lebowski. Love the Stones version, of course but TVZ’s cover is still my favorite.❤️
