GOSHEN, Ind – From his newest album, Masks Off, “Won’t You Come Out Tonight” follows Jesse Welles as he pursues a love interest. The track is energetic and lively as Welles invites this love interest out into the night.
In the opening lines, Welles paints an idealistic, romantic scene for the listener. He sings Well the lake is blue and the sky is too and the moon is shining bright. These lyrics are accompanied by an upbeat guitar melody and drums.
As the song continues, so does the night and Welles begins to wonder “will I get to see my love interest.” In the chorus, he sings Won’t you come out tonight, I don’t know how long I’ll stay. Won’t you come out tonight. Babe I’d love to see your face.
He reaches the upper limit of his range during the chorus, almost highlighting the desperation in his voice. Towards the end of the song, Welles turns to his faith in hopes of attracting this potential suitor as he sings I forget to pray sometimes but when I do I pray for you and I hope that you’ll be mine.
Welles’ music is a familiar sound for Globe listeners. His songs have a refreshing, unique take on folk incorporating elements of the rock and country genres. This song is incredibly catchy and it is sure to become a staple on the Globe.
To promote the Masks Off album, Welles has embarked on a nationwide tour. He will be playing at the Salt Shed in Chicago, IL on Oct. 27. More information can be found at https://www.wellesmusic.com/tour
