Silver Jews - Trains Across The Sea Lyrics

This is beautiful

How can something so old be so wrong

Fuck I miss you DCB!

Hey. Not all the similar of a style, but this is my tune inspired by a lyric in this tune.

Sucks to read what happened.
Listening to your music makes me wonder how hard it must've been to wake up some times and just live for you.
you wrote some amazing stuff dude, you deserve more recognition for all of it.

inspired by db, about the last hurricane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvtRtDh3-Z8

Song's better than the video.

Camper Van Berman

It’s been evening all day long...rip

we are real. thanks.

RIP DC Berman

thanks for everything brother. this song has carried me thru the every trench and every crest thus far.

Most people won't realise we just lost this generation's Elliot Smith. Numbers are getting thin.

Dimitris Vasileias you do know DCB was older than Elliot Smith, right?

Obviously but I tried to make a point on important underground figures wearing down.

Take this strange song and make it better, remember that he was just another Jew, then you can start loving Jesus Christ more.

Never heard of this guy

well, that's too bad. now you obviously have since you're here. I never really understand why people comment with this anywhere. It's usually said in such an obnoxious kind of way.

@sunshaped read her profile name. Think she's being facetious

Bryan Aicher even if they were (not sure it’s a she), it’s been a common thing written under many articles about him, so i’m more annoyed about that generally..

Love you David. Hope you are finally happy.

I can't take this

RIP dave. I loved you since I was seventeen

Hope you found peace, DB. Thanks for the art.

Simpatico.

Thanks David

Losing him hurts so much

RIP RIP RIP

RIP rest easy DB

The picture of David and Cassie is heartbreaking.

Eric Zumbach exactly what I was just thinking

@Jacob MacDonald I met Cassie and talked with her when they played a show in Harvard Square. There were maybe 50 people at the Middle East. Just when Berman started touring. Bob even played drums. And it was just a little room full of people who had been around since Starlite Walker and wanted to hear David play some tracks. When I have grandkids I will tell them about the time I heard Berman play Trains Across the Sea.

I saw him later when he played the Middle East again and it was sold out. Still a small venue for the Joos. Maybe 700 people. And they played one of those songs I feel as if only I know all the words to, like "We are Real," and I was in a room filled with people singing along to a song I didn't know anyone else knew. If Berman had any idea how many people care about him he would run for president.

Wow! Both sound like amazing experiences. Well said, your grandkids are going to have a great taste in music!

I can’t believe he’s gone now :’( RIP David

unspeakably eloquent, unfathomably honest, ridiculously ubiquitous. it's been evenin all day long.

In 27 years i drank 50.000 beers
uhuhum

It is a loss we shall all have to endure the demise of said music. Here Here Mr. Berman.

Man, these fuckers grow on you....hmmm....so do warts!🤤just kidding, Jews Rule!

How can something so old, be so wrong?

I can say without hyperbole that this is the greatest indie rock song of the 90s, and maybe ever.

I can't decide if it's better than New Orleans

@Obiwan Kenobi I def go with New Orleans. I put 'Advice to the Graduate' pretty high too tbh. 'So you've got no friends and you wander through the night, now you watch the sun rise through a rifle site'. Amazing.

Most classically trained musicians cite this song as their primary inspiration for pursuing music as a career.

:-) ... very funny.

classically trained

Sin and gravity
Drag me down to sleep
To dream of trains across the sea

troubles, no troubles...on the line

no troubles on the line - hvae this music

this heres the first godamn silver jews song I heard and dagnabbit it might just be my last

Dude- I don't remember writing this. But I agree-best poetic band. Cheers

Best band to listen to drinking alone also. :) No troubles my friend, cao

serpentor420 dude yes!

I'm there. Right now. At home, alone, smiling.

serpentor420 yup

thank you.

The only problem with this song is the ending comes too soon

I agree, but better than too late, I guess.

4 years later and it's till too soon

how prophetic your comment was

I die a little bit more every time I listen to this song.

+Jim Thompson you should get that looked at bud

I know what you feel

I die a little bit more now

It's just one more beer washing off of the pier

Half hours on earth, what are they worth

@tweakiepop I don't know.

Just got back from a dream attack

so good.

amazing song!
check out my cover! peace

Is her name Shady Sides?

in 27 years i drank 50 000 beers. and they just wash against me like the sea into a pier, hm hm hmmmm......

Best song lyric everrrrrr

dave has a good lookin wife

terrific

Excellent

Haha, no problem. My brother actually burned that cd years ago, but the official release is out now. Pretty cool. It wasn't until I got in my mid twenties that I really appreciated The Jews and Pavement. When I was 18-22ish I just didn't get it then. Peace

yeah
she is such a pleasant feeling for me eyes

his wife is a beauty

THANK you so much for posting this comment.
