Fear is the Mind Killer

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” Frank Herbert

This is as if Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger merged into one person. I love it!

“How I was supposed to know my soul was gonna grow into a big soul flower, the only thing it needed was a big ol sun and the occasional shower”- one of my favorite lyrics I’ve ever heard

I was having a terrible morning until watching this. Genuinely restored my hope for the day. Incredible

What a joke the music industry must be to this guy. Spent 6 years releasing stuff on YT never to get 100k views. Even with killer music and videos. Then he slings an acoustic over himself and walks into the woods playing simple, well written music and he blows up.

Man.. you really found the right path now. I know you’ve been working on this for a long time. Stripped, naked, you, and a guitar.. There’s no ego in the woods, brother. Thank you for the times.

I hope Takanaka Masayoshi hears this.

The takanaka riff brought a single tear to my eye every time

Jesse...constantly...takes my breath away...leaves me speechless....in awe. We are witnessing one of the absolute all time...for all times before and all time to come...one of the greatEST ever. This is History in the making. I feel utterly privileged to experience what Jesse shares with us. Words fail me. Not him. So lucky we are. So meaningful, touching, important, and consequential is he. Goddamn. Fuckin mind blowing on the reg. Voice of America, and the everyday American. No...wait...that's wrong. Voice of Humanity. Soul of the People. Brilliance.

Dude - you released this vid 30mins ago and I'm almost the 1300 viewer. You seem to be just a normal dude playing guitar and writing sick songs - but you need to know the following you now have. Your tunes are bonkers. Don't sell-out - keep writing intense, current, and intricate lyrics. You're insane man - keep putting the work in - you're slaying it. It's gonna be worth it. Singer of a generation(s) right here.

Actually one of the best songs ive ever heard

I think this one is your best yet.

Nice sampling of masayoshi takanaka. That riff was awesome, I relate with this song so much. His songs make the rainiest days the sunniest. That whole Brazilian infused album is amazing.

Please for the love of God release this as a single or on an album so I can listen to it easier. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. Love from Los Angeles, Jesse.

Comparing you to anyone else is unfair, these are terrific pieces of art that stand alone

Ain't no way this young man is just singing to mother nature the most poetic troubles of men. 🤙🏼

Okay I can’t lie this is my first ever comment anywhere but, I’m just too obsessed you like you’re an absolute hero. Like NO ONE can match what you’re doing here it’s just too unique and absolutely breathtaking to be quite frank. And I’m not even lying when I say it cheers me up SO much on those tough days that I just needed to let you know that when I’m struggling the first thing I do is go to your channel and sing along with what ever video pops up first ☠️. I don’t even know if people will see this but I just really wanted to let SOMEBODY out there know this is the pinnacle of music right here, no doubt about it.

Masayoshi Takanaka enjoyer! Phenomenal!

This song is phenomenal, real music. Took me back

Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger's secret love child.
