I’ve been battling with depression since I was 12. Nom I’m 26 and David’s music and profound lyrics gives me strength to live everyday since I discovered him. It’s devastating to know that this was a suicide note. It reminds me that this struggle is so real. Safe travels David, your music will always speak to me like no other thing does.

I have a ton of respect for anyone who battles the monster for so long. I was “diagnosed” at 7 years old. Now I am 55 and don’t really know how I got here. I had tickets to see Purple Mountains but alas, that ended up being a night that won’t happen. Be well my friend.

This is so confusing and conflicting emotionally. I listened to this because it cropped up on lots of "Best of 2019" lists, the Purple Mountains album. I listened to it, really enjoyed it so thought I'd read into them more, only to discover Silver Jews, their connection to Pavement but most importantly - David Berman, his lyrics and most fucking frustratingly of all- his death. I can't remember how I interpreted the album before listening to it in the context of his death. His ghost haunts so many of the songs now. It's beautiful but incredibly sad, sort of like listening to Black Star after Bowie died. I wish I could disassociate this album from Bermans death and simply love it, but I can't. Instead, I find myself wishing Berman stayed long enough to see the impact his album had on people. He said in an interview that reviews - one by Pitchfork in particular - hurt him. All he had to do was come to his songs comment sections and see how much strength he gave people through his music - strength to overcome the everyday adversities, choices and wounds life gives us. It's a two-way street; surely he could have found solace in reading earnest comments like these. Outpourings of vicarious gratitude for guidance on dealing with emotions we found hard to deal with or understand. That was why Berman was loved! "Art makes us feel less alone". Berman was so many peoples friend they had never met. He could have took heart from the fact that in giving so much of his, he eased so many strangers passages through life. Urgh. It reminds me of David Foster Wallace all over again. - anyway, lovely song, lovely tribute. thanks man

I can't even bring myself to listen to this album straight through and that isn't like me. David is like the best friend I never had, and no complaints about my actual beat friend here, it just feels like he was telling the truth and also giving us some horrific news as a joke. Not this song, but some of Silver Jews most depressing songs aren't without their zingers. It seems he saw the humor in things most would find it possible to laugh about. If I had to guess, although this song negates this statement but it's pre-horrible decision, I would say he really regrets doing that and to be honest, what can you change or fight if you're fucking DEAD? I mean what can he do about his father now? Knock pencils off of his desk on good days? I love you, David, but you, my friend, are a fucking idiot this time. Now we are all stuck here with no one to speak for us. That's no way to treat a beat friend!

Daniele Milazzo I’m sorry he’s gone. I appreciate your posts. I often think about suicide like many others do. Sometimes I think about not being able to let go of my past relationships and the idea of moving on seems less appealing. Maybe he set himself up for too much with the album and upcoming tour and he just wasn’t ready to move on. I don’t know. I wish he were still here. Maybe he didn’t know how much he was actually loved while he was around but for me getting to see how much his fans like you loved him feels good and makes the world feel slightly less hopeless. I don’t know. I’m sorry he’s gone.

I have always been extremely fond of Silver Jews but Berman's album slipped under the radar for me. I only found out about the album when I was listening to a playlist and heard a Purple Mountains song come on. Heartbroken to hear he took his own life shortly after this was released. American Water is a true gem, and it's the only album I like to jam out on guitar to. Rest in peace David.

It's only now, through this vid - that I've learned about David's suicide. I was a UK fan of the Silver Jews, Pavement, Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr, Husker Du, Nirvana, etc - throughout the 90s, in my teenage years. I'm gutted to hear the news and as @Turntables Rockmyworld (totally relate to your name btw, lol) points out - this is a poignant love letter to suicide. It is in deed those left behind - who'll suffer longest, but trust and a hope of better understanding are never easy in those choosing to end themselves. What they experience as a greater misery. Those left behind tho, should not feel guilt, if all they gave was love and support - which I find most cruel & unfair about the legacy of suicide - as David alludes to in this song - if not necessarily the choice itself. x
