Jesse Morris: Sunday Morning Coming Down
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 09. 2011
- Jesse Morris performing Johnny Cash's version of "Sunday Morning Coming Down" (original lyrics by Kris Kristofferson). 24th St BART station, Mission District, SF, CA.
UPDATE 10.31.12 Like many others, I was lucky enough to catch BART at 24th back when Jesse was a regular fixture. I didn't know him really, but I'd stopped and spoken with him a few times after watching him play - he was a sweet guy, gracious and humble, and really open about his life. One morning I asked if I could record a full song, and he said sure, as long as I put it on CZcams and tagged it with "jesse morris" and "punk rock". Since tags seem to be gone from the site now, I'd like to honor that request and respectfully add the following: JESSE MORRIS PUNK ROCK - Hudba
Who keeps revisiting this video like I do ? 👍
I'm still sad both are gone
I do
I'm back listening to Jesse.
Just listen to the original instead of a fake. If a musician covers a song it should be altered and not copied. Idiots
@@stilldo4052 you lack perspective. If you are going to do a cover you want to do it as close the the original as possible in your going to do a cover respectfully. It pays respect and homage.

2023 and were still jamming with you, Jesse. You'll get the audience you should've gotten when our days come.
2024
2022 and to this day still the best cash cover I've ever heard 🤌
2023
Feb 1 2023 easily the best how have I had this in watch later for so long without listening. We have too much time on our hands anymore and procrastination can hide jewels like this
Kris Kristofferson wrote this, Cash covered it. Jesse sings it exactly like Johnny did though... Exactly like him
Yup
*impersonation
Jesse and My Aunt were extremely close. I remember Jesse playing at my 12th birthday and not only could this man move any one with his sound. He could also get a laugh out of anybody. His death crushed my aunt. My aunt recently left us and the sliver of happiness I hold on to in her passing is that She and Jesse get to laugh and share cigarettes in peace. Rest In Peace Aunt Sunny and Jesse.
Sorry for your loses Daniel, stay strong man🙏🏻
❤
How the hell could people just walk past this guy?? This is the best Johnny Cash cover I've ever heard.
Jon It seems nobody has the time or attention span to stop for anyone, regardless of talent, unless it's a modern celebrity they recognize.
Jon same here
I didn't used to walk by. I'd stop and listen, give him a few bucks. I had a band that played shows with him a couple times.
Its w kris kristopherson song fuck sake
It's a great cover of a Johnny cash cover song by Kris kristofferson
I bet the man in black himself would approve, awesome job
@Eduardo Venegas Best thing to be wearing when the man in white comes for you just so happens to be black. So they're both probably doing just fine.
@Eduardo Venegas /woosh sorry bud lol.
Chris christopherson sang this
@@alexdelgadillo1569, His name is Kris Kristofferson and he also wrote it.
@@musiclover9361 I’m aware
2023 and I'm back to listen to this beautiful bastard. The small lyrical changes, the mannerisms and presence he's got is absolutely mint. RIP Jessie.
There are special people in this world. I just discovered Jesse today. This cover is the best I’ve seen of this song, and his voice and body language is so natural. You can tell that this was not only a natural talent but it was his passion. It’s very tragic that he took his own life. It’s a dark world out there. But it is somewhat reassuring to know that Jesse did leave something beautiful. He has brought thousands of people a feeling that is somewhat indescribable, but undoubtedly positive. I will never stop watching this video. Rest in Peace Jesse.
poor guy, what a talent
the saddest part of this video is that there was no applause after he finished...
because the people walking look like millennial cell phone staring students..
And Asians...
assholes
Miles Doban I shed tears every time
The saddest part is that this man has passed away
Miles Doban 😞
The worst thing on the video was that it had an end
I mean no disrespect but the fact that he sings it with sadness makes the song so much better.. what a great voice he had
I think he related to the song.
I think that is what helps it be. Perfect 👌❤️. Listening to the original and I think you right. You can feel the pain ( Love ) in Jessie's voice more. He is really singing from that place, if that makes any sense to anyone 🤔This really is pretty freakin amazing 😎👍😎
Yea i remember seeing this video a while ago. So sad he passed away, a true talent....
It's a sad song
Saying that isn’t at all disrespectful, it shows great reverence in that he conveyed the essence of the song so beautifully
To me, Johnny Cash sings it like a man who is reflecting on a bad time that he has come out of stronger and better than before. This man sings it like a man who is still in that time, still living it, that’s the difference I get
It's Sunday morning, Boxing Day, and my head hurts. RIP Jesse.
2021 and we're still with you, Jesse. Keep rockin up there, man.
2022
December 2022. If heaven exists I hope he and JC are playing together for us all. We need it. At least I do.
December 2023 and I find myself looking at this video again…

NOVEMBER 6, 2016 -- Happy 32nd Birthday, Jess ... These 5 years since you've gone went by entirely way too fast and yet agonizingly too damn slow. Rest easy ... we miss you.
Love,
Uncle Dane
MeBeTheDB sorry to hear about your loss sir, he had amazing talent and warmed my heart with his music.
I'm really sorry for your loss, he was very talented and made a lot of people happy with his music.
Sorry for your loss.
Wow, very sorry to hear of such a great loss. My thoughts are with you and yours.
D:
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, Jess ... Your laugh still rings in my heart. Your natural music & comedic talents I was truly fortunate to be part of from the day you were born.
If there's somewhere in the great afterlife you're able to see this -- know that you made me proud and I still hear your voice, always cheery saying, 'Hey, Uncle Dane ..!' Take care of your Dad and Jasper & Molly for us ... as we'll all be there soon enough -- laughing and scratching with the Bubba-Dogs .....
Your 30th Birthday is coming up on the 6th of November ... and your Gramma & I will each sing you a Happy Birthday. We miss you, Jess.
With love & redemption,
Uncle Dane
***** Jesse had been Bi-Polar ... and alas, it got the better of him in the day before his 27th birthday.
If you know anyone who suffers from being Bi-Polar, please encourage them to seek proper medical attention and / or to stay on their medications. It comes down to the as-is chemicals in the brain needing the correct chemicals to cope and survive this horrible affliction. Thanks for your kind comments,
D.A.
Amen to that, FloridasCracker ... and please make sure you tell anyone you know that has BI-POLAR DISEASE to SEEK MEDICAL HELP ... to STAY ON THEIR MEDICATIONS ... and STAY HEALTHY.
Thanks for your comment -- albeit sad, but it happens / happened and we survivors must help others with it along the way. Silence can mean their very life.
D.A.
MeBeTheDB So well put. All the best to you and your family - you produced one hell of a dude with one hell of a heart.
Cheers,
Greg
Greg Korn Thank you, Greg ... I wish I could take credit for his talents -- but Jesse Alister Morris was a born musician -- and mimic.
If anything, he thought I was the funniest person he ever knew ... so I could say 'Fart' or any number of little boy funny things from the time when he first learned to talk til his last days -- and he'd be doubled over laughing. I guess it helps to be his Uncle that he knew from day one onwards.
Jesse loved anything creative and especially he loved singing with others. I once found him one school night at age 7-ish singing his little heart out of some Credence Clearwater Revival song with a Hippie Chick on the 'Plaza' in Ashland, Oregon. He was as happy as can be and I felt a tad guilty for putting the breaks to it ... but it was a school night and he was out by himself.
So I took him home and I'm sure it just made him want to perform that much more.
Watching the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary last week caused me some sadness because Jesse was just the right kind of natural comic / singer that he'd of been tapped to perform on the show. He was that good -- that funny -- that talented.
Thanks again for your kind comment, Mr. Korn ... it shown a bright light on my nephew and he deserves it most certainly.
D.A.
MeBeTheDB sir, I found out about jesse about a month or so before he left the planet and from the first time I heard his voice and guitar pickin I knew what a killer talent that boy had. im 32 and have a 26 year old brother who suffers from part of the same sickness and then some, but he loves music and is a big country as well as old rock and punk and when I showed him this video he really dug it... needless to say the short time later when jesse took his final ride and I told my brother it hurt em. he kinda looks like him and I somehow feel like he took a liking as such as they were/are kinda alike. kindred spirits kinda thing. but man I wont take ya time up anymore but this man that plays this amazing music will be played as long as me and my brother are breathing. thanks my friend, if you read this and if not just know that your relative has helped another boy in need and he feels the pain
One of the greatest and saddest covers ive ever heard. When he said "hi mom", that broke my heart considering he died shortly after this.
Mad talent
Fly high with them angels buddy😓
"Anybody got a joint?"
Punk never dies, rock the fuck on brother.
the best impersonation of Cash I've ever heard.
I just want to say that I think of this man every once in a while. A few months go by and he'll just cross my mind. I definitely think of him everytime this song comes on my Pandora radio. Though I've never met this man. He did touch my heart with this song. It's so very sad he is no longer with us. We were truly blessed with his song and his spirit. May it forever live on in this video. Cheers.
I feel the same
thought of him today. thats why im here now
Oh my God! What happened to Jessie?! I didn't know he passed??
Rest well young man, we're still loving your voice❤
2023 Christmas Eve. here drinking and playing this.👍🏻
As a musician myself, this blows me away. So much talent out in the world that unfortunately will never aspire to the top level of recognition, but be forever lost in the bye & bye.
It makes me so sad to see him say "hey mom" at the end I can only imagine how many times his mother plays that part over
it always makes me cry. It just hurts your heart so much.
He could a been in Vegas....headlining as johnny
This comment brought tears to my eyes. I've watched this video loads of times and never once thought about that 😥
Know what you mean. We're at a good age though--future is uncertain but if we are lucky we have a lot of time to live our own lives.
Justin Gale cmon man it’s too early to cry
Jesse , I stumbled across this and I read you're no longer with us but brother You had real talent! RIP
Boy did he have talent best Johnny Cash imitation I ever heard awesome rest in peace buddy you and Johnny
@Leif Erikson idiot
Leif Erikson troll
@Leif Erikson Ultimate DOUCHE!
Rest in peace, talent like this is rare..
He passed away, guys... I watch this over and over.. makes me smile
RIP MAN I NEVER KNEW YOU BUT WE ALL LOVE YOU I AM PLAYING ALONG WITH YOU ON MY GUIATAR HOPE YOU AND JOHNNY ARE PLAYING TOGEATHER UP THERE RIP BUDDY FROM IRELAND
goosebumps...
depression is a stone cold bitch that never relents and wants us dead.
RIP you unbelievably talented and beautiful man
van guard yesss 😕
Just what I need to hear
Jesse, I miss you. You were the best roommate ever, and you gave the best hugs. I still think about you after all these years.
I'm really sorry for your loss. I met him a couple times- he was awesome
Andrea W Aw, thank you darlin. ♡ He was definitely awesome.
he was really good i caught this on facebook i grew up on johnny cash the ventures and a whole lot of other stuff this is the 2nd guy who nailed john's voice ...is there any more of him?
+Patricia Sheck sorry for your loss ma'am. I can hear his soul in his voice. definitely the real deal.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. I see several different videos of him singing. Will have to make a play list to hear them all. What a talent!
I'm 27. I've been a Johnny Cash almost the entire 27 years. This makes me so happy and so sad. God bless you, Jesse. I REALLY, REALLY hope you're at peace now. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rest in POWER, brother.
May this video be immortalized!
Jesse was def the king’s reincarnation! 🖤
Felt like listening to the real thing. I love the little "thank you"'s in his real voice thrown in so casually.
Jared St. Croix yeah! That got my attention too
just discovered him today and also found out he passed... sitting in my room , guitar on my lap playing along crying my eyes out. rest in peace my friend .
Thats pussy shit
John Mckeehan I discovered him a month ago and dammit I wish I would’ve known about him way way sooner, cuz dammit that’s talent!,... shit, you don’t come across talent like that every day,... strummin watery eyed...
every time i listen to this song makes me think.. WHY????????? While tears slowly fall from my eyes. Dang... another great talent in heaven now i have to wait . IT WILL BE WORTH IT
Knowing my nephew, Jesse Morris ... I'm sure, if he was sitting there next to you, he'd give you a big hug and tell you that things will get better ... and just breathe .... just .... breathe.
Jess was most empathic to all creatures.
@@tonyoxy8830 Thanks for that kind thought about my nephew, Jesse Morris. Indeed -- had he stayed on his meds -- he'd likely be with us today.
So for yourself -- for anyone we know and love ... please stay on top of your medications as Jesse should have. You're a human being -- a sentient life ... you matter.
Seek help if need be. There is no shame in being healthy.
Onwards. Ever onwards ...
D.A.
‘Bye Mom” hit the hardest ❤
Some of the greatest talent in the world lies in the subways and on the streets, in the hearts of buskers and independent musicians. This is an extraordinary example. I hope Jesse is up there, playing from his heart just as he did here. The world needs more of this. This is true talent, inspiration, and music.
I stumbled across this and thought I should watch this for some odd reason cause as soon as seen this man I judged him on his look. I dont know why i did cause I hate to be that person. But I'm sure glad I watched this. I cried everytime I watch it. I used to sit and listen to Johny Cash with my grams and i know she would have thought this was really Johny. Sure you were a true talent and gift to the people of this earth. Sad to hear you have passed on. Rest easy my friend.
I ve been a JOHNNY CASH FAN since i was 9 i am now 63 you are almost spot on i could tell some diffrences n how he and you say words but you are the BEST IVE HEARD SO FAR keep it up ...love your voice JESSE
10/10. What a cover!
2023 and yet here i am 8 years later coming back to this video
I never met Jesse. I actually didn't know about him before today. Would be a CZcams or a subway, I will always stop to listen that dude with pink hair and tattoos and a cutoff studded vest and hear what he's playing. I woke up on a Saturday with Sunday morning coming down stuck in my head. That's how I found Jesse today.
I'm extremely impressed at how he evokes Johnny Cash so well that my girlfriend said to me condescendingly "darling, he's lip syncing". "Just keep watching," I said.
To know of Jesse only briefly before learning that he's passed, and how he passed, leaves me surprisingly heartbroken. I love goes out to his relatives, his friends, his fans, and his spirit wherever it may be.
I'm going to do what I can to help commemorate him by playing the song on a Los Angeles radio station called KXLU 88.9 FM during my show. I'm going to talk about Jesse, I'm going to help other people learn about him too.
The first time I heard this song was here (years ago). Eleven years later and it's still the best version ever recorded.
I'm here every sunday to listen to Jesse sing this song. Outstanding performance in my book!!!
The talent of this guy is something else! I have been visiting and showing this video every chance i get. Infact my daughter grew up on this video and still loves it. It hurts me that he isn't around to hear all the good things people say about him. Rest in peace my friend.......
This never gets old, miss you so much my friend.
I listen to this almost every day....RIP Jesse
Me too
Mike Lawson yeah I'm the same
Mike Lawson yeah I hear ya
Hes dead?
Unknown Com yeah he had sever depression which led to him taking his own life :(
Jesse is a legend, and still listen to this on the regular. Hope he found peace.
We Still love you in 2021. Even though you may not be around, we still respect you, and we miss you brother.
He should've received a standing ovation after this performance...RIP
If you close your eyes you can just picture Johnny singing perfectly because he sounds like him so much.
Like fine wine, only gets better with age. rip Mr. Jesse Morris.
Edit: The last part always gets me, "hi mom".
tears me up every time, I say hi to my Mom at the same time.
Same.
Today may 10, 2024 and I still here listening to this. We all miss you Jesse and hope you rocking the heaven with your voice and guitar ❤️🫂
That "hi mom" at the end really puts a lump in your throat
CAP
RIP beautiful person.
Met this cat as a young kid who was and still is obsessed with outcasted music. God damn was he amazing. It’s almost shameful the amount of beauty that comes from so much pain.
I was turned on to this a couple years ago....the song means a ton to me by it self, I listen to this and was blown away, only to learn of his demise......I love the song...deep meaning for me...RIP jesse.
I was reading the comments and saddened to read, this chap passed away in 2016 😪 It explains the draw he has about him, for not only can he sing and play like an Angel of the Highway Men, He is one. Absolutely Brilliant version 👏🙏❤
Had I been there I would have been clapping and shouting like hell after hearing such a performance! What talent!
R.I.P.
I always give people that perform on the street the attention I feel they deserve. So many walk past, but if I come across them you’ll see me standing there with them enjoying their performance, giving them the praise they deserve once it’s over. I was in San Diego several months ago on the boardwalk, there was a woman playing violin. She looked so sad, but she was playing something so beautiful. I stood there across the way, we made eye contact, never spoke a word, but I stood and listened. I have no idea what she was playing but I wish I could hear it again, and I hope she’s doing well
I come here a few times a month to listen to Jesse been doing it for several years
This song reminds me of when I was a kid; early 1950's; the old man might go into downtown Detroit and bring me along. I remember the smells of stale beer and cigar smoke... What a lonesome memory.
it makes me sad to know that i’m only just hearing this man’s awesome voice in 2019 just to find out he’s passed 😔
Perhaps, Jess has already reincarnated as another singer ... and we shall soon see him knocking the roof of some opera house or the like.
@@MeBeTheDB Deincarnated as Johnny Cash
i just herd him today and it 2/4/2023, i wonder what did him in? he was awesome at the level of the street and could of been much more but as many talented people just never get picked up in the right cue or have the duration to persue it as needed to ride the surf. he sure did some interesting stuff. i am familure with people not giving credit or they love if your a juke box of crap that you yourself hate like when he got that request for beatles and just made fun of it. i liked that about him.i tried to have a band a few times and played out most when i was in a cover band that did the lounge lizard stuff. it was good for learning the band road and equipment but was a sickening parrots job.
@@markbiggs1961 Seeing that he asked, "Anybody got a joint" in the middle of the song, I assume he died of depression and perhaps drug abuse. What a great musician. I can feel his charisma through the screen, and that's rare for me.
When i decided to add Johnny Cash songs to my shows i learnt from jesse the phrasing and emotions from his covering JC and it might sound strange but i believe Jesse is chanelling Cash here from another dimension..Jesse puts vibrato even more than Cash and its kinda supernatural how Jesse performed this song in this clip..pure magic and a great inspiration to me, R.I.P Jesse
I'm just jealous that you and Johnny Cash get to play in heaven and we don't get to hear it till we all get there and tap our toes to the great tunes you guys play . We miss you Jesse and love you . RIP
Ive been listening to this song on those good Sunday mornings for probably the last 10 years. Thanks for the good tune Jesse. RIP
Sucks to see all those scrubs walking by without a care. I would miss my train just to listen to him lol
mr0scary you and me both
Wooord lol
Maybe those scrubs have to go to work ? Or other places .
Me too man
Me too. And then got pisses with him after🍻
Stumbled upon this performance and was awestruck, then to read below that he's passed. I can't believe how saddened i am. Well, i never knew ya jesse but i'll be a fan for as long as i'm around. Thanks.
This just never gets old...God Bless this guy, made alot of us smile with this cover.
Have this on repeat. So bittersweet.
Rip brother... You played some beautiful music.
Used to travel the country playing my guitar anywhere I could set up. Living and sleeping out under the stars. This captures the emotions I had when a town just kicked my ass and didn't throw much money my way. Youre an immovable object in a fluid world. Rest in peace. From one legend to another.
After probably 15 years of being a YT member, I have 9 videos marked as my favorites and this is one of them. I usually come back to watch it a few times a year. RIP buddy.
I’m Sitting here now.. 10:47 pm.. a broken man... it’s not the end of the world, I know that. But it can feel like that at times
There’s something about this rendition.. this mans soul..that’s keeping me together
Kevin Roseberry keep your head up man, sending good vibes from SF.
It gets better man. From a fellow broken man all the way from India.
You're spot on about his rendition.
*What an amazing talent, rest in peace*
This the TSA?
He is not dead you gum skull
@@peterward9995 ????
@@peterward9995 dude has been dead for a few yrs...
You mean Johnny Cash?
2023 on a Sunday morning and this version is just as awesome as the first time I viewed it.
Amazing! So much soul and so much talent. Best cover of this song you will ever find. I watch this over and over and over and...
This kid, for a better lack of words... Jesse Morris. Never knew ya, heard about ya, or met you. But you are the embodiment and true story of this song to me, that you sadly can never tell us ever again. But you live on for the rest of us who try and find our way through the chapters in this book we call life. Rest easy brother.
Someone give this man a recording contract.
Kirk Graham He commit suicide in 2011:( RIP
:c
Matt Boylan no he didn't it says in the description that he saw him again in October 2012
so, give him a contract because he sounds like another artist ? Sounds legit.
Just do a google search for Jesse Morris, you'll find the article of his suicide :(
Every once in a while I scan CZcams to see if there exists a better Johnny Cash cover than this. There doesn't. This is the best.
Slevin Kelevra,”I do!” Jesse totally captures essence of this great Kris Kristopherson song with the heart and soul of Johnny Cash.I am in awe of how good this is…..Truly! This was my dad’s favorite song and thank you Jesse for covering it like nobody else can! Would have LOVED to have known you.Rest in peace my brother…..May GOD bless all who reads this! PEACE and LOVE…🤠🤟❤️🦅☀️
I`ve been watching this for the past 4 hours. He certainly destroyed my sunday morning.
Amazing. Jesse, hope you're playing this one in front of Johnny and he is smiling. RIP, brother.
I vist it several times a year. Absolutely Awesome!
So many people running along to whatever we've made important and he's killing this song
I just discovered this guy but my joy quickly turned to sadness after reading the comments and finding out he is gone. I too listen to this about once a day. RIP sir......
The video made me smile. The comments that shed light on what happened to Jesse Morris made my heart sink... but re-watching the video makes me smile again. I really wish I could've met this man.
Jesse, you honor the man in black. Hope you get a record deal. Much deserved.
Much love from Scotland
that was amazing.... dead on timbre.. attitude too.. Cash would be proud.. he and Jesse are collaboratin' now... RIP.
So sad your life was taken so short. Thank you for your talent. Can't help the tears and I don't even know you. R.I.P. JESSE
alan betts. Sad
Could you imagine if this dude was on the voice or America’s Got Talent. Dude would have been made for life. Wish dude was still around.
Wouldn't have worked for him - he was old school talent -i couldn't imagine he would entertain the idea of going on them shows - I don't even think he would like any fame other than his music ability
I wish I could've met and jammed with this kat. His eyes seemed so empty and lonely as he would look at the camera, but, yet, he filled my heart with that voice full of love for music. You are in eternal peace. No more pain and no more demons. You are good now brotherman and yet, I still wept watching this and learning about your departure from humanity. R.i.P. ❤
This still gives me chill bumps. Been watching it for almost 8 years. It makes me a bit sad but music that touches the heart is what true artistry is all about.
RIP Jesse. I always loved your Cash covers. So sad you're gone.
When I first saw this I was so impressed that I learned it by watching you. I play it with you all the time. I even say hi to your mom. I wish I could say thank you but I guess I still can. Tks man! A rare talent gone too soon.
RIP
Just found this, Rest in peace Jesse Morris. Currently drinking a cold beer and smoking a bowl of good green in your memory. It would've been an honor to meet you in person my dude. Much respect 🤙.
Never met him but there's an outpouring of love here that I'm sure he would have delighted in. He had a great voice and he comes across, even in this short video, as a really nice guy
Best johnny cash cover I've ever heard.
Everything about Jesse is johnny cash.
“Hi mom” makes me smile and feel sad at the same time.
I’ve watched this videos about 10 times. Love it.
2018.. still so much respect for this guy
Still coming back every Sunday to listen.
May God Bless you Jessie wherever you go. Thank You
I was in SF at this time and I remember seeing/hearing my guy in the metro/BART tunnels and I revisit these videos a few times a year to remind myself of those days and how much comfort this man's voice brought to me.
This man was true raw talent. Remember hes singing unplugged and in my opinion he has a lovely richer tone than the master himself plugged in. No disrespect to the legend Johnny cash he was a true legend. But this man was highly talented. sad to think he was born 4 years after me and he died in 2011 only 26. God rest his soul.
