Just in case you see this David, I've been listening to your music for over ten years now, read all the poetry of yours I could find, never got bored. You've been an enormous inspiration and your work has helped me through several hard times. Much love.
I went to college with Dave. Me and another friend from those days were planning on going to his show on Monday. She had emailed him and asked if we could see him, to say hi. He said he would wait after the show for us, and he said he never does that, but that he would do it for us. I am crushed. I never met anyone like Dave. I will never forget when he was offering haircuts to make extra money, and he shaved my head. I dyed the rest black :) He had a great radio show on WTJU with his friend Rob called "The Black Hair Show." He wrote amazing poetry even then..much of it was written in the UVa morgue where he worked. He was so funny. Super witty and smart. Too much talent, gone too soon. This song is haunting me "some of them were once people I was happy to know".. I was happy to know you, Dave. RIP.
As someone battling with a depression that doesn’t seem to end, it saddens me that David took his life. I feel both ingrained in the melancholia and removed from it when I listen to him. Stay safe everyone.
You know it says a lot about the Grammys when they don't even include the modern day Bob Dylan in their tribute.... I knew they were always a joke but hearing about them not including David was a big error since he's one of the most inspirational and honest songwriters within the past 30 years.
That plucky, buzzy, lazily picked acoustic guitar sound in the beginning is so painfully emphatic of depression.
same chords/tempo as Trains Across the Sea, which DCB said was the first song he ever wrote... even the lyrics: compare "10,000 afternoons ago" to "in 27 years I've drunk 50,000 beers" - 10,000 days is roughly 27 years. i wonder how many other hints he hid in this last record - I'm sure his mind was made up. love you David, and miss you
Such a beautiful suicide note.
I miss David Berman
Well, the wife just left me so I'm feeling it.
Rest in peace. Random Rules played at my wedding 6 months ago and I often find myself thinking about you. Sending you love from this realm my friend.
We’re all still healing.
'I confess I'm barely hanging on' sends shivers through my spine.
This album is a warm jacket you put on before walking into the bush and never come back.
"The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind."
This was immediately one of the best albums I’d ever heard, shortly before David left. Understood what it was immediately. Thank you David. Wish we could have been friends. Hope you’re somewhere/something happier now
god damn this song never fails to make me cry for a variety of reasons. My parents raised me on pavement and silver jews and so theres this childhood connection I have to this music but theres also my coming of age connection becoming addicted to drugs and escapism due to the trauma and anxiety from childhood and puberty. I got into harder drugs and remember listening to this song soon after it came out when my best friend and I were having trouble scoring some opioids. Having finally got some we drove out to the absolutely beautiful illinois countryside and got high in my car on some abandoned country road and I remember hearing this song kick in as soon as my high did and holding in tears realizing what my life had come to and how I already felt this songs sentiment deeply being so young. Im doing a bit better now but I can't listen to this without becoming emotional. RIP and thank you dave for giving us the words to describe what we all feel.
'Way deep down in some substratum, feels like something really wrong has happened' That is one of the most touching and sad lines I have ever heard.

Today marks 1 year since Davids passing. The first time I was introduced to his music was when I was working at Yellowstone last summer '19. This was the first song I heard and couldn't comprehend how much this song said to what I was and at sometimes am feeling. I worked at night at the hotel and would blare this album loud because no one was there, just myself. My best friend would come to visit me and we went hiking. One day my knee was bothering me and I told my friend I'm going to sit down for a bit to rest up. While I waited for him to come back from a short hike, I checked my phone and saw that David had passed. It hit me even though I was fairly new to his music. Hope you found that peace.
This has to be one of the saddest songs of all time.
