Silver Jews - Strange Victory, Strange Defeat - Juan's Basement

[@leemiera84]

"How much fun is a lot more fun?.... not much fun at all" David Berman could save my life. I swear.

[@silverbranch90]

Great stuff

[@shawnp8672]

He saved a lot of us, but we couldn’t save him.

[@alisonderrick1067]

He saves my life eternally ❤he is also the sweetest hero in music I’ve ever met

[@frankvazquez5974]

going through a rough patch and Berman is hitting close. Thanks for the comfort Dave.

[@HarryD738]

Dammit, I hate when I only discover someone through news of their death. This guy was speaking to me all those years and I didn't know to listen. RIP.

[@KennBurch]

You did your best, David, but you had expectations for yourself that no one could live up to. I did not know of you in life but wish I did. May your wounded soul be finally at peace.

[@a.talyor1473]

Beautifully put.

[@whizzlepop]

Can't believe it's 10 years since these sessions. I wish we could have saved you Dave.

[@dav3miga]

"...it's been evening all day long..."

[@jeffmatuszak477]

What a sweet, amazing, brilliant mind....don't be sad folks, he played it the way he needed to play it.... just dig his rich legacy, his gift to us.....💙

[@jimwilkson5680]

True, but I’m still pretty effin sad.

[@boydmurphree]

I discovered Silver Jews in the late 90s. The albums are poetry. Incredible words. I salute David Berman.

[@yellowtango]

Strange victory, strange defeat indeed, DCB. RIP. You are loved and missed.

[@partybarge]

I fucking miss you so much already David.

[@juanpablodiaz9202]

the way she looks at him is just lovely

[@Sergio_Solorio]

It hurts my heart

[@NK-zl4rb]

another gem. love david berman. so glad at least SOMEONE knew how wonderful this dude was

[@listentoryan]

Beautiful song from a beautiful man. RIP DCB

[@d4re416]

These sessions are so good. Beautiful performance along with amazing cinematography. There is truly something special about this video.

[@overbiteneanderthal7370]

These were some underrated mother fuckers

[@shapdanone]

I'm truly gutted

[@meatdraw]

very thankful for these videos right now, thank you!

[@sarahmurray5146]

I hope his Mrs is OK.

[@AlexandervonGimbut]

RIP David Berman, gone way too young!

[@sharksjesus7952]

A von Gimbut Its fucking sad man.

[@nickfromCO]

horribly sad. I'm sickened.

[@Dangermoose-rv6bb]

Ah, i dont know...it's real sad and it's not often i'd say this but think DB had run his race..he knew the future would hold much more pain than joy for him and he opted for peace.

[@louskunt2641]

@@Dangermoose-rv6bb went out on top with that final album

[@marcosrojas4156]

Thanks for all you let to us. Rest well

[@mememan3799]

Its like your math teacher who always wanted to be in an indie band went and did it. Never knew about the guy but he seemed cool, Rest In Peace.

[@PuddingAtheist]

I'm gonna give you a little bit of a "fuck you" to that characterization but glad you generally dig it. Anyways,fuck you dude .

[@PuddingAtheist]

@Matt You're right. If I was an artist insecure about how my audience viewed me, I would actually beg to be pigeonholed. "I guess I'm like a 'math teacher'. wonderful. thanks a lot." A poet cartoonist who liked reading Edith Wharton in Central Park and doing heroin to Dolly Parton doesn't exactly read 'math teacher', to me--iDon't know about you.

[@PuddingAtheist]

@Matt hahaha, all good. I wasn't ACTUALLY offended. My old man was a math teacher-"with musical aspirations" no less. Anyways, hoping you're digging this music.

[@briansmith9455]

Is this a strange victory or a strange defeat? Maybe...both?

[@nikimemphis]

​@@briansmith9455 both ♡

[@ricardodeleon6312]

I heard of this band on Good Girl's. Really liking their music. Sad to know the singer passed. Good band. Prettiest bass player ever.

[@andyz9793]

She was his wife/ex wife. Apparently they never divorced but they were separated for quite a time

[@Robot666House]

Ever? You're joking

[@joshcallahan6388]

I did not know he died, so sad.. I been listening to him since 2009

[@jeffreymatuszak1125]

A sample of true genius😿🎼

[@j.mduett4992]

Lived the life he could live gave what he could give

[@TheIkaraCult]

Dave Berman and Half Man Half Bicuit are kindred spirits

[@xxdrnickxx6351]

I'm buying the same glasses as that guy

[@sshelton1433]

I think he bought them at David Koresh's garage sale

[@tylerwheeler8995]

What kind of glasses are they

[@cactaceous]

@@tylerwheeler8995Ridiculous ones.

[@tyronejackson9170]

Amazing These Guys Are The Shit

[@SOS721296]

Keep em comin pitchfork

[@ST-xg3gy]

Love the lead guitarist. Who is that?

[@saltemann3581]

did the bassplayer have to be so beautiful?

[@nickbryantfyi]

if you ever wanted the definition of indie rock this is it

[@juanignaciobarretoarrocha9817]

🤩👍

[@Gunsmith2584]

who are you talking about

[@michaeloneil8586]

What did they do with the fat ones...Like for reals.

[@willfosterhaze]

must be real hot where David is sitting

[@dudeabides1754]

A real scorcher

[@greenbrainsurgery]

why only bergman on the vocals? disappointing. Love the jews though

[@MrGreen428]

Man. Berman needs to lay off the heroin.

[@donaldjoy4023]

You were right. The dumbass never got clean & sober and it took him down. Of course he blamed his father I'm sure, and Trump, and whatever/whoever else that represented the opposite of hippie druggie lifestyle

[@blinktwicefast]

Donald Joy jeeez i know you wrote that a month ago, but i hope you are doing better than whatever possessed you to write such a comment

[@akechi77]

This is the strange world we live in, one where people who accomplished nothing can criticize people who have accomplished something. One has given, one has lost.

[@stepasidejesus286]

I heard he killed himself because he was balding

[@znet9452]

you aren’t funny.

[@Robot666House]

Scumbag
