My house is full of depression antiques
From all the way, way back
late last week, man
It’s a D E P R E S S I owe I O N
I ain’t a gambler but I bet
It don’t get
Better
Well there ain’t nuthin much to do
But sit and watch the tube
Wait for the pill to come and kick the door through
On yer D E P R E S S I owe I O N
So sayeth the therapist: come back
…well if you insist
I was so broke
That I went and got fixed
The veterinarian was nice
But my doctor was pissed
It’s a D E P R E S S I owe I O N
Well I’ve always been a little bit sad around the edges
It ain’t nuthin to fix
And it ain’t contagious
It’s jus a D E P R E S S I owe I O N
I ain’t a gambler
But I bet
It don’t get
Better

Why is no one talking about the line "I was so broken that I went to get fixed, the veterinarian was nice but my doctor was pissed" That is GOLD!

Check out his old stuff….you aren’t wrong, it’s just amazing to hear him do it in a totally different style

@Som3th1ngSom3th1ngblahblahblah Ай бұрын

These are kind of reworked blues and folk classics but it’s the melody choices and lyrics that are really impressive. Wonder how many of these are works in progress that took years and how much of it was like a creative burst? Having written music most of my adult life sometimes it evolves slowly and sometimes you can’t get the ideas out of your head fast enough. He clearly has a deep library of songs to draw elements from so he’s keeping the riffs and chords simple so the message can be the center of attention. Just awesome stuff!

@theuj Ай бұрын

It’s pretty clear to see he’s cookin these up quick, but like most prolific folks, he doesn’t concern himself with something sounding too close to something else. Reminds me a bit of Loudon Wainwright III, but all you need to hear is his Boeing whistle blower tune to see that his creative fire is burning BRIGHT right now and he can’t miss.

There is nothing punk about this. It is the definition of folk music. The lyrics you hear in classic folk tunes may seem tame and outdated now. I assure you they were edgy and controversial at the time. Tipper gore would have had a hey day with them. Stop trying to shove everthing into little niche bags so you can be cool.

@@richardclark. gotta disagree, punk means a lot to me. I once thought GG Alin and the Murder Junkies wasn’t punk. Then a real punk shared his tastes in country, rockabilly, and blues. He showed me that Punk isn’t so much a sonic style, as much as raw, rebellion. Jesse’s lyrics are speaking truth to power, while smiling. That’s punk to me.

@@Imscottirl that punk, in your own words, shared his taste in other forms of music. They were not punk. Rock a Billy is not punk. He appreciated it, sure.

the world keeps turning no matter what we think of it, or each other, or the time we're living in. A friend once said to me that 'depression is an affliction of the intellectual' the more you're able to think about things and put shit into context, the worse it seems. Maybe - but the world keeps turning careless of us. That feller also told me I should write my anger down, put it out in the way you're doing but I have no talent. My guitar playing is remedial at best and my singing voice has a repellent quality unrivaled. You on the other hand, have got this. Stay on it, folks are HEARING you
