This Is Not My Song

[@MrSomethingElse]

i knew this would happen again in my lifetime, voices like this define generations.

[@BoarhideGaming]

Man, these songs are all so bloody good, but this one is something else. This is a sentiment every artist can sympathise with. We’re all thieves and brilliant creatives both

[@hewslife4391]

11 years of so much progress. I wish I would have been listening to you since Dead Indian. You are so inspiring. My new favorite musician.

[@havajava6068]

Incredibly, he recorded all of these on the same afternoon. He just brought a few different shirts.

[@Martin-mb7yb]

BEST SONGWRITER ALIVE RIGHT NOW!!! I only dig some of dylans work but I love almost all of Jesse's songs!!!! We needed this song Jesse!!!!

[@dzydzy101]

how rare it is to find not only incredible talent, but talent with... this blistering passion of a soul behind it.. messages the whole world needs to hear. "i will not entertain even an ounce of anger" i really took that to heart and i wont forget

[@potatoman7594]

I thought he said even an act. still got the same meaning from it tho lol

[@RheoBartels]

Ive been watching all these and this one is for some reason different...... this is soooooo good.

Because it's his love ballad.

I NEED this version of this song on spotify, it's nothing short of a masterpiece

Brother, I've been to that place. Exactly why I keep coming back to this.

[@unnamedindividual8835]

Jesse, you are the most entertaining musician on KZbin by far. At this point, you have so many videos that the most fun way to consume your music is just sitting here on KZbin watching video after video. I feel like I learn something new about myself when I listen to these songs. Thank you

[@jimburkett9799]

With your last sentence, you perfectly encapsulated music and why it’s a universal language. Something that started as an emotion, a sentiment, or a random thought for the artist is able to mean something totally different for the listener.

[@sweettee_gaming]

I’ve loved this song since the Dead Indian days. My absolute favorite!

[@GOD-zq4jt]

Damn those lyrics gave me goosebumps

"Bought a guitar and stole all the chords". WOW. YES You did.. FKN Amazing. I don't think Jesse Welles just sits down and writes a song. I truly believe he's getting downloads from the divine.

Just to be clear, the original version is by Dead Indian, which is a band that Jesse was part of previously

[@juliawhitehead9832]

Not only is Jesse a phenomenal singer and a gifted songwriter, he is also a fucking badass guitar player! He plays with such skill and ease. Chords below! A A Bm F#m F#m Holden has got me caught A I never ask for advice E He's got a way of forcin it on you Bm But my heart's as cold as ice F#m And i will not entertain A Even an ounce of anger E I'm happy with all my borrowed words Bm I won't ever return A And this is not my song A And these are not my words Bm I borrowed the guitar Bm And stole all the chords A And these are not my feelings A In fact they're age old Bm learned 'em from a place Bm But mainly they're stole F#m E F#m Stolen by me F#m Lord I've stolen a girl A But it's like stealing a mountain E I've got no place to put it Bm And no hope to climb it F#m I cannot succeed A I cannot catch and release E I said 'man, please take her back' F#m And he said ‘You've sown, now you will reap' A I found a true love A Surely she's ideal Bm She was once my friends Bm But l made a steal A And she loves like a rock A And she's heavy as a stone Bm But it's better than drugs Bm And being alone m A And this is not my song A And these are not my words Bm I borrowed the guitar Bm And stole all the chords A And these are not my feelings A In fact they're age old Bm learned 'em from a place Bm But mainly they're stole A Bm A Bm A Stolen by me

Yes! I was listening to his mid-2010s stuff on Spotify today... It's very much Nirvana with a strong touch of Lennon. All the originals he's released this year are far more Dylanesque Plus he looks like Jim Morrison, idk how this guy has not blown up yet

as we all push forward in life, navigating the paths set before we ever were, we take leftover relics as our own; ideas and idols. we have them only for as long as we live, only to be left and perhaps taken again by others.
