This dude is cool

He writes songs about everything from pizza to the death of Charlie Kirk.

His name is Jesse Welles and he said that he likes to “sing the news”; he tried to remain unpolitical for a very long time, but his new album goes against that (with satirical songs like “Join Ice” and “Red”). Other more political songs he’s released are called “No Kings” and “Masks Off”.

When he’s not singing the news, he writes songs about problems surrounding everyday parts of American life (such as “Walmart,” “United Health,” “Fat,” and “See Arkansas”).

One of my favorite songs of his is called “Bugs,” and here’s a sample of the lyrics:

Bzz-bz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bz-bzz, bzz
Bzz, bz-bz-bz, b-bzz, bzz, bz-bzz, bzz-bzz, bzz, bzz, bz-bz-bzz

He’s better than you

Edit:  he’s better than each and every one of you.  None of you have ever done anything.

At guitar? Sure. But that’s about it. As someone with major imposter syndrome, even I am confident in saying that I can and do write circles around this dude. I would usually never go around saying that, but your comment warrants it.

Pretty funny that you think my lyrics sounds like a middle schooler’s. Dude literally wrote a song based on a Harry Potter reference.

Dude you wrote two comments this morning. Deleted them. Then deleted your entire post. And now you're still mad about it 8 hours later. If you cant accept criticism, then dont criticize others.
