Rest in peace sweet prince

Dammit. Literally a week ago I tried to kill myself and when my roommate found me, Silver Jews was playing in the background. I don't know how to take this...

Can he get a sticky?

F

He's too good for a sticky, those are just for pleb artists who attract a bunch of board tourists

F

but his music was boring shit.

"no"

You know what, his last song release was a fucking shameless rip off of a famous Modern English song the 1980s.
if you dont believe me listen to the awesome 80s song "I melt with you" first

youtube.com/watch?v=LuN6gs0AJls

then listen to his rip off verion with the exact same fucking chorus.

youtube.com/watch?time_continue=215&v=XvUBbROsXBw

Did he die of shameless copying?

clearly its a tribute

clearly its a fucking ripoff

Purple Mountains is one of my favorite albums this year. It was an unironic 9/10 easy. I really thought he’d make it through after airing everything out on that album.
Usually idc when artists die, but this one’s a total bummer.

Holy crap, it actually is silver Jews. I just thought that was the Yea Forums nickname for silver Mt Zion

F

and an A+ for the giant comb-over

F

This is terrible. He came through the city I lived in on both of the Silver Jews tours and I have fond memories getting to meet him and Cassie after one, they were both super friendly. Gonna be a sad day

It was my AOTY and potentially something I will listen to for a long time even before this news but now it means even more

I had no idea who this guy was until today, and only heard of silver jews earlier this year. Where should i start with SJ/PM respectively?

American Water for some classic '90s indie rock and Purple Mountains (self-titled) for something more pertinent to his suicide

The Natural Bridge for his original lyrical masterpiece that got everyone's attention on him in the first place.

False

The guy was never about financial success, he never even toured with Silver Jews until 2006 and refused his label to take out ads for him.

Hell, he came back this time as "Purple Mountains", which was fucking retarded, from a brand standpoint. Silver Jews had a brand name at least, changing your name is never a smart thing

>The tour includes a date at Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina.[24][25] In a Reddit AMA, Berman said he planned to tour Europe in either February or March.[26] Berman had called the tour a "necessity" in order to pay down credit card debt and loans he built up.

Thank you guys

His father works as a lobbyist for tobacco, alcohol etc etc

Guy said he had no libido/little sexual desire anymore.

At that point, it's basically over

If this were Billie, y’all wouldn’t be pulling this sentimental bullcrap

His only good music is because Stephen Malkmus wrote it

And his new album, Woods basically wrote it and he provided the lyrics

cringe

His lyrics are REALLY overrated, I can pull out a billion cringe lines

>in 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfect, screwin my way across Europe they had to make a correction

Hopefully it wakes you up mate and you feel like a fucking pussy killing yourself before this guy. At least wait to hang yourself at 50.

>I can't keep on pretending not to see
>Yeah, I'm starting to suspect
>Though I hope I'm incorrect
>That maybe I'm the only one for me

don’t you talk about will like that

go fuck yourself you retarded plebeian. only Storyline Fever is really a Woods song.

This reminds me of when the good looking popular kid dies in high school and everyone is soooo le sad

Whatever

This guy didnt have crippling social anxiety due to being an ugly manlet incel like most of us, he really had it all and was just le depressed but at least he got to live his life

Most of us will die with our free time on Yea Forums, working some wageslave job and never even being able to express ourselves or enjoy sexual experiences due to our real problems

FUCK THIS GUY!!!

American Water is his "best" album, when considering total cohesion and production value. Also has the best-known songs. The Natural Bridge is easily the height of his lyrical genius, fwiw.

I believe the stars are the headlights of angels
Driving from heaven to save us
To save us
Look in the sky
They're driving from heaven into our eyes
And though final words are so hard to devise
I promise that I'll always remember your pretty eyes
Your pretty eyes

lol

cringe samefag

Yes I would. Woldham is my favorite lyricist by far, no question. I even emailed him to talk about Danish philosophy and we had a little correspondence going. I will genuinely be depressed for days when he goes. Unfortunately, it just looks like he's dying a slow death of creativity, probably thanks to that SJW succubus of a wife.

The stars don't shine upon us, we're in the way of their light.

lmao

At this point, if anyone thinks Yea Forums is "better" than Reddit at this point just read this post.

You need to go back.

Nah dude you were right, all I had to do was read your post

The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind
When the here and the hereafter momentarily align
See the need to speed into the lead suddenly declined
The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind

And as much as we might like to seize the reel and hit rewind
Or quicken our pursuit of what we're guaranteed to find
When the dying's finally done and the suffering subsides
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind

Nights that won't happen
Time we won't spend
Time we won't spend
With each other again
With each other again

Ghosts are just old houses dreaming people in the night
Have no doubt about it, hon, the dead will do alright
Go contemplate the evidence and I guarantee you'll find
The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind

Nights that won't happen
Time we won't spend
Nights that won't happen
Never ever again
Nights that won't happen
Never reaching the end
Nights that won't happen
Never even begin
Never even begin

This world is like a roadside inn and we're the guests inside
And death is a black camel that kneels down so we can ride
And when the dying's finally done and the suffering subsides
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind

On nights that won't happen
Time we won't spend
Time we won't spend
With each other again
Nights that won't happen
Never reaching the end
Nights that won't happen
We can't even begin
We can't even begin

Man, this sucks. His lyrics were so good, there really was no one who had similar command of absolutely corny yet heartwrecking prose. rip

Ah ffs, smoked mad cigs already today, listened to the album after I heard he died. Smoked more; now I need to go get another pack baka

I still have to listen the Purple Mountains record.

However, I wish I listened to Random Rules earlier in my life,seriously. The whole American Water record is great but goddamn, I´ve had that song in repeat for 20 times at least today.

One of the coolest indie rock songs ever

fuck

Mounting mileage on the dash
Double darkness falling fast
I keep stressing, pressing on
Way deep down at some substratum
Feels like something really wrong has happened
And I confess I'm barely hanging on

All my happiness is gone
All my happiness is gone
It's all gone somewhere beyond
All my happiness is gone

Chalk lines around my body
Like the shoreline of a lake
Your laughter made me nervous
It made your body shake too hard

Now there's a lot of things that I'm gonna miss
Like thunder down country and the way water drips
When you're running for the door in the rain
Read the metro section
Read the metro section
Read the metro section
See my name

No, I didn't really want to die
I only want to die in your eyes
Grant me one last wish
Life should mean a lot less than this
Grant me one last wish
Life should mean a lot less than this

interesting how the first song is gay and retarded, while the second song is actually good lyrically and musically

any news on method of suicide? i'm guessing intentional od

Wasn’t suicide.

Some news sites are reporting it as a suicide, others aren't or are saying its unconfirmed

What the fuck

it's a play on a classic joke about tennessee. works within the song. dont be a bitch lol

?

>Some literal who like dies
Seriously, who the fuck even is this guy? Call me when Eddie Vedder dies or something.

who?

Imagine proudly flaunting the fact that you don't know shit about music on a music board

It's meant to be humorous you pea brain. There's catharthis to be found in juxtaposition of the brash phrasing of such an important request to one's love.

no specifics. I would guess od as well since he's done that before.

yes it was. Pernice Brothers confirmed.

>Listen to album last night

lol same

thee silver mt zion and tralala band blows silver jews the fuck out tho

This is actually a decent take

Sorry man I like quality rock music like XTC and The Cure, I don't really enjoy rich kids jacking themselves off

Wow he “ripped” off a 3 chord progression. Lol. Really advanced and unique

Epic

This is what suicide sounds like. I haven’t felt anywhere close to this sad since my dad died 6 years ago, and hearing this song for the first time brought me back into “it”

Decent bait

Another one who fakes his "death" to sell his shitty "record"
Who cares? I surely don't
>inb4 cared enough to reply
Retard

holy shit dude, RIP

i was re listening to a lot of silver jews just a week or two ago

why dont these artists just set up a patreon if they know they have any sorrt of fanbase

they would probably make more money that way

he didn't think he had any fans..

based on this thread, i dont think he does

He could have just, you know, gotten a job.

RIP always sad to see a musician die young

>lyrical masterpiece
lyrics are lame
now I know why I never bothered to check him out.

fuck you asshole people should be able to create art without starving to death

Ok 18 year old

What's the best Silver Jews music video, and why is it this dark horse?
youtu.be/YZUjzOfRUps

Suicide is gay
Don't do it user

lyrics are dumb. I listen to music in other languages and have no clue what they’re saying. but because I’m a fan of musical composition and melody and harmony and rhythm, I still get enjoyment out of their music.
I don’t care about deep meanings, I’ll read a book if that’s my intention.

no disrespect to the guy though, it still is very sad to hear he died, I’ve heard good things about his music for years but just never managed to check it out for whatever reason

>On November 19, 2003, Berman attempted suicide in Nashville by attempting to consume 300 Xanax pills combined with crack cocaine. When he was discovered by his wife Cassie, he refused hospitalization, and instead demanded to be brought to the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel (the location where Vice President Al Gore had stayed for two weeks during the 2000 election recounts). At the front desk, Berman demanded (and received) the "Al Gore suite"; while riding the elevator up to the room, told the bellhop, "I want to die where the presidency died!" He was eventually taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Around a year later, he checked in for drug rehab at the Hazelden Foundation.

What a fucking drama queen

He was more of a poet than a musician. The music he composed or had composed was more of a contextual vehicle for his poetry. If that's not your thing you probably won't care much for his music but he's on of the few writers who's lyrics look as good on the page as they sound performed.

David Berman was essentially a clout martyr.

Everyone is claiming this was a random suicide, but it's clear what was actually happening: his killers were driven to take his life solely for the sake of clout. They wanted infamy of their own and found it in gunning down a 52-year old.

As Dave was taking his final breath, he was surrounded by kids taking video and pictures of him. Why? For clout. No one was taking his pulse, no one was calling 911, everyone was standing around with their phones out as his body was clinging to life.

The moral lesson of David's life story should be a cautionary tale of the horrors of social media and how it's fucked our society beyond belief.

RIP Dave. See you in Heaven...

You mean because hes jewish?

A while back I emailed him asking for the recipe to a shattered dog. He told me that it wasn't meant to be a real drink and that it was meant to mean cum drops on the floor or something like that. Anyhow somebody he knows made up a drink for it and if anyone wants it I can share it.

This sucks. The new album was one of his best.

It’s baffling to me when celebrities and well-known artists kill themselves when they have so much more talent, validation, opportunity, life experience, etc, than the average nobodies out there (me). Just goes to show depression is an actual disease I guess.

Fuck off /pol/. Jewish people are mixed so heavily with Europeans that there is hardly a genetic difference
