I don't know if anyone remembers the Silver Jews but the lead singer, David Berman, took his own life last year.

Right before he passed he came back with a new band called Purple Mountains and dropped an album and its the most hauntingly poetic piece on late-stage depression that I've ever heard.

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

If she says we partied, then I'm pretty sure we partied. I really don't remember. I remember we departed from our bodies.

It was definitely great. Right up there with (or maybe even better than) Tanglewood Numbers.

RIP Berman

And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame
