Wheel

[@Jazzdumpling]

I can’t get over how many quality songs this dude keeps putting out. Seriously this is the most prolific explosion of excellent songs

[@LOVEJITV]

It’s crazy-I kept searching the titles of the songs he released because I thought the were preexisting songs already written and released! Especially “Fear is the mind killer”🌟Unreal💫

[@biocykle]

Unmatched

[@johns4469]

Amazing The GOAT

[@beansdestroyer]

I check spotify every morning to see if hes put out studio versions of this last batch.

[@EZ-ie7gg]

Truly remarkable

[@geraldbrown2875]

The rare occasion you see someone and realize they are doing exactly what they were meant to do in life! 🎸 🇨🇦

[@Rhetor305]

I’m just an old English Professor but I know poetry when I hear it.

[@Ring13Dad]

I hope Jesse is studied in future English classes

[@kimdolly]

I'm 71 and obsessed with this song. It's so full of 60s uncertainty and then hope for the future. If I've learned anything in life, it's that life is fluid, and if we give it a moment, it will change. Nothing is forever, but if our wheels are turning, it's an opportunity to make things better. Bless you, Jesse. Please take care that your wheels don't turn too fast. Enjoy this moment. ❤

[@GuitarSlayer136]

I call Jesse an inspiration not because he makes good music and I want to articulate that; but because as a fellow musician he takes every single excuse I have ever had about music creation and obliterates them in their entirety. I genuinley don't know what else you would call a person who does that with every song other than an Inspiration.

[@masonhogan8525]

This guy is the best folk singer of the last 30 years. All of his songs are absolutely brilliant and I can't stop listening. I don't even normally listen to this type of music but damn. I've been rocking Jesse Welles for days now. Patchwork was playing all day while I was working yesterday. I hope he blows up and becomes a household name cause he's amazing! Does he ever tour? I want to see him play so bad. I'd love to see him playing in the woods somewhere. He should travel around and put on random performances in the woods along powerline clearings 😂 It would be iconic.

[@waxydan7470]

Cannot get enough of Jesse's music! I really hope he gets the opportunity to release his music on vinyl, I'd love to add it to my small collection, sit back and pop it on and just let it play through

[@gailremp8389]

Jesse hits multiple topics but they intertwine - so it hits the crap out of us. His ‘Hold On’ is stunning…and if we are relating to Jesse - where thousands of us are & no matter our age and blah x3 - there is honestly, and I truly believe, not one of us that at one time - or hundreds of other times in our life- wished we could go to sleep but not wake up …what is the point? It doesn’t mean we’re going to do something stupid right then or better and less stupid the next time…It’s more of knowing sadness and frustration can and will come. We’ve tried to do our best - yet realize that it wasn’t enough at times. But Yep. To our surprise another moment in time turns out to be just enough. So there ya go. All good-ish. Thx Jesse All i… please have a decent and safe weekend. Three days till official quiet hell breaks out in America. Lord help us. Gail in Central Florida Friday January 17, 2025.

[@WM-jy9dz]

he is one of the rare artists / soul sailors who has the gift to built bridges....

[@stephenbarnett2925]

Amen 😊

[@littleninja830]

Love the music and positive message. We definitely need it now.

[@amarx6248]

One of the best new music I’ve heard in decades.

[@davidiglesias7741]

Totally agree. It's new, but at the same time feels like it's always been here. Like he didn't write it, he just discovered it.

[@joshcarter6297]

this is a very beautiful performance of one of Jesse's best folk songs IMO. His voice is really on, and the face is glowing. His joy playing this really shines throughout.

[@jamesaburke7]

Very clever lyrics about physical laws of nature. Love how he uses the interchangeable homophones, wheel and we'll.

[@jimburkett9799]

Turn and turn me on..

[@jeffsweeten3270]

It always seems like, as he sings, he knows something we haven’t got yet… boy’s got skills, deep.

[@neccowaif9]

He’s been digging for a while, it seems

[@aileenletoile9636]

Damn! People may compare you to , Dylan, but honestly, I ain't never seen nothing like you! Brilliant!

[@Wee_Ewan]

Holy shit! Intro threw me off guard but this is one of your most beautiful songs

[@pantalonesfrescos1130]

I feel lucky and special to be a Jesse Welles fan before the rest of the world catches up.

[@stacygrieshaber4687]

You just keep kicken em out brotha. Such an awesome singer songwriter. Thank you for your art sir!!

[@DaveGlaser-sy3dz]

It's rare these days that a song makes me stop, listen and just zone everything out and mellow the hell out. If that happens...always this guy right here. You're a gift to the world man.

[@jimsigrist5506]

Thank you. Original. Clever and interesting. Intelligent and understated. Quirky and fun. Don't get too twisted up. Follow Prine. Start your own label. Be your own boss. You have the talent to tell the labels to fuck off. You will always have a strong and loyal cult following. Wishing you a long ride!

[@wendygizmorazzmatazz8899]

You are the only thing good I've found on KZbin for a while now. I look forward to every upload.

[@CaitlinEaster]

This is one of my favorite songs, now-- like not just of your songs. Wanted you to know.

[@CaitlinEaster]

... and the eye contact, when it happens. Ha ha. Not your first rodeo, right... Oh, and Rock and Roll, it's another favorite of mine. *wink*

[@primegm1]

Recently discovered him, and loving everything he's done, but often struggle to understand the meaning of his lyrics. "everything u see and everything u touch it is what it is it’s gonna have to be enough" Your take?

[@CaitlinEaster]

@@primegm1 all we have is the real world within our sphere of influence, and while that feels frustrating sometimes, we find our way to make the most of it, & of our respective spheres, i reckon. Jesse's is getting bigger, innit though? I'm glad for that.

[@captaincrustyradio]

I agree, Caitlin!

[@davidiglesias7741]

@@primegm1 Remember the Pink Floyd line "All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be"? It's the 2025 version of that. My take on it was always that humanity may invent a lot big ideas like religion and social hierarchies and stuff but ultimately the physical world is all there is so you better enjoy it while you're here.

[@ShadowDoggie]

I am addicted to this song

[@atheistmom]

I love that he just goes in the woods and does his thing! It's a like a giant middle finger to the music payola bizniz. 🥰

[@philipduttonlescorlett]

F****ng BRILLIANT!!! You are the talent of this era Jesse. Loving watching your journey man.

[@MsLindawoods]

Wow.... most of his songs are really good!!! Better than most "popular commercial artists." I would pay to see his concert

[@Sicaughtik]

You can, he's touring the country for the second time very soon. Good luck finding cheap tickets at this point, though.

[@Stillpoint23]

Hey Jesse, Just to let you know, I heard this song, and the United song, and I am an instant fan. You're awesome dude, glad to have found some new music, to me that is, to listen to in the crawlspace of my life at work. All the best!

[@amarx6248]

Same!

[@MF-qf7bs]

Your song often create a deep longing in me, but of what, I don't know. It's sad, and it hurts and it also light with hope. A longing I really can't name. Thank you for that. It lets me know I haven't been crushed by all the bad things I hear and see. I'm not that dead yet.

[@Ring13Dad]

I mourn for the effort we lost keeping our hearts from breaking

[@jimburkett9799]

That is a brilliantly written and arranged song. If Bob Dylan, Marty Robbins, Gordon Lightfoot, Don McLean, and John Lennon all sat in a room together and cranked out one song.. it might sound something like this.

[@stevef1174]

This is the song Jesse...pure brilliance. Just so fucking beautiful.

[@danievans6497]

All of Jesse's real fans know how much hes like Dylan, Guthrie, Prine etc. But my god, this one really is the most like dylan I've heard. Absolutely love it, really reminded me of my childhood listening to Bob. Got this and bugs on repeat atm .. but my favourites change every week! The talent is insane 🤯 i cant cope with how blessed we are to have Jesse in our lives! 😅

[@CleeTaurus]

Bugs has me hooked right now bad.

[@robertgold2643]

The breadth of lyrics, styles, themes, Melodie’s from this guy is staggering….. how can you write that many songs that close together and all stand out from each other? Friggin Genius……

[@kvp2az]

You're so awesome. I'm so happy to have come across your music. ❤

[@lawrencegashler1154]

Just love the simple creative beauty of your songs.

[@samlilymusic]

"I don't know, I hope so" best bit, love it!

[@frankforcinelli4645]

I listen to this 20 times in a row …such a great tune

[@roguesgallery4228]

Me too, in fact I’ve worked up a studio version of it, backing vocals,harmonies,bongos, tambourine and drums. I wanna get it to him, somehow.

[@TommyLikeTom]

I heard a guitar nerd saying he was doing some "Shtick", but Jesse is truly an incredible musician. He has a deep understanding of harmony and a keen sensitivity to sound. I'm sure I don't have to talk about his intentional use of vocal vibrato here

[@atheistmom]

Shtick!?!?! What a dumbass who said that. Jesse's got unmatched lyrical chops; clever, heartfelt, poignant, and his phrasing is beautiful. That guitar nerd was just jealous! 😁

[@PhoebeLeRoseBeaulieu]

love the way you see the world around you and especially the beautiful way you share it with all of us, Jesse, thank you.

[@naturalaviate9804]

Your music is more than just melodies; it's a reflection of life's complexities. Your lyrics resonate deeply, reminding me of moments I thought were forgotten. You've gained a lifelong fan!

[@GearObsession]

I can't get enough. Continue channeling that truth and God bless you!!!

[@Imsickofallyallseeingmyname]

Wells is fucking the kinda dude I wish I had a band with when I was youthful and more excited about life's possibilities

I keep coming back to this one. My wheels are turning at a faster pace at 71. Thank you for this philosophy of life. Keep turning and burning bright, young man. ❤

[@ebbandflow1919]

This is the most beautiful comment and compliment⭐️ God bless and keep filling your soul with incredible talent like thing talented young soul. I will be 50 next month and feel like we are finally getting to experience magical music and meaningful lyrics that hit your soul the way it used to. Thank you for making my day. 🎶✝️💜

Tu es vraiment talentueux ! J'ai découvert au hasard tes musiques et je m'en écoute souvent ! J'adore ! Bravo et merci

[@JasonSmith80513]

This. This is the thing that music has been missing since about the mid 70's. I don't know what it is, but I know it when I hear it.

[@hypnoticleslie]

This is amazing, there’s no one he should be compared to - he’s in a class by himself.

[@ebbandflow1919]

Amen ⭐️✌️

[@dylanfletcher2138]

He certainly does have an extraordinary talent he’s on another level as far as composers go. He reminds me of popular older country musicians but he’s got his own original spin. Sometimes he sounds a little like Bob Dylan when he talks only he can actually sing, music is expression and I really appreciate the genuine insight he projects through his music. He’s just great I’ve been listening too him nonstop now, so far my 3 favourites are “that can’t be right,” “Fat,” and “Bugs” 🤣 my son likes the bugs song a lot too.

[@virginiatrott9888]

I also really like poor

Your best song yet Jesse wow. When you do release an album make sure this is on it, so soothing and mystical.

[@drinkclintons2058]

It’s been truly amazing to watch Jesse over the last year. Cranking out new songs every few days, getting the recognition he deserves.

[@dougwhite3819]

This song is gonna be the official theme song to the new course I'm teaching... The Quantum World ... for a whole bunch of reasons.. perfect!

[@whodidit465]

Another great song, love the vibrato in your vocal this time.

thanks again Jesse. I look forward to every new song you make. you are a cure for the sadness that won't let me be in this shit town world. really little brother, you give me hope. seriously, thank you thank you

For the umth time Jesse has released one of the greatest folk songs I've ever heard

[@jerrysharp4501]

This young man has an incredible gift , you go Mr. Jesse !!

[@FHR6S]

Jesse this is at least in your top 3 best songs and it’s probably one of my top favourites as well you gotta release this on Spotify.

[@dbennettkc]

Jesse, dude, this is a hit plain and simple. Keep doing what you're doing, whatever it is, it's working.

[@dougcaggiano3961]

can't stop listening. Awesome song. Thank you

[@stephenharperisgay]

Unreal output as usual. Just relentless without a dip in quality.

[@Nordsman]

Right on man, that's a hell of a song! Classic fav, there for sure! True grip!

[@johnhoover5431]

I'll never hesitate to click on a new Welles song. I hope you achieve great success. As a Afghan war vet that feels many things when someone thanks me for my service, War isn't Murder is my favorite. "Let's talk about deeeaaad people." 👍Perfectly blunt

[@keyanuka]

Jesse, I know you hear the John Prine comments, but “oh boy”😊 you have filled a void in my heart that I thought couldn’t be filled since John passed. I live in Nova Scotia Canada, and I just put myself on the waiting list for your November show at the Red Room in Boston. I’m coming down anyway and making a crazy offer to somebody going to the show. I bet when you hit millions of subs you will not change. Thanks

[@quinbagwell7515]

I like this guy a lot.

[@MatthewjeffersonTodd]

I just like him...pretty much got him on repeat...so nice to have a really good songwriter that sounds likes he means every word

[@nathanswiech8848]

In my opinion what we are seeing is the beginning of the next great American rebel. If you watch the music video for gimme the sweet and low down by social distortion Mike Elliot Ness layer out the mt Rushmore of the greatest rebels of all time you had Woody Guthrie, James Dean, Bob Dylan, and Sid Vicious notice only one name was punk two folk and an icon. Jesse Welles has lyrical complexity and simplicity that both Dylan and Guthrie had. In some of his other songs he has a folk beat that reminds me of the orphans he’s got that punk sound in his singing and he appears young enough to be able to become an icon. Someone better find him and give him his Chance to prove me right because I love to to watch that all unfold. Jesse Welles should be award a spot on that wall no a tattoo on the skin of the great American rebel

[@lindasnyder2774]

Now for something completely different and totally exceptional we present to you another tune from Jesse the Well is deep. 🙋🏻‍♀️🤗🐈👍🎈

Im feeling pretty bummed out laying here alone in some shitty hotel bed on the wrong side of the country. Missing my wife and my kids. Just found your music, and it's making me feel a little better. Thanks for what you're doing, brother. Keep it up. It's great.

[@petev.2120]

My biggest criticism of modern music is that there is nothing new and original. So refreshing what you are doing. Thank you

[@crististratienco1491]

Your songs are raw, rough, and genuine. You're keeping it real, brother! A talent that comes along only once in a generation.

[@Collinstory91]
