Silver Jews Live-Trains Across the Sea

[hydogify]

"it's been evening all day long"



[bluenoserr]

Two people sneezed while trying to hit the thumbs-up button.

[evilIan02]

"Sin & gravity, drag me down to sleep to dream of trains across the sea.."

[lkmrn325]

I literally cannot stop listening to this song.

[freimanis101]

im from aussie. im fortunately he will never come here

[jodysoldman]

seen him a few times - he was drunk on this take.

But I'll take a sloppy Berman over a crisp "field" any day

[zoetropez]

Cassie is sure one supportive wife, literally, as well.

[daveco1270]

Rebel Jew is the best song by Silver Jews. "Advice to the graduate" is good too. Doesn't seem like he's trying that hard in this song. I've heard him sound better than this.

[happyaslarrycat]

you couldnt sing these words with any other kind of voice

[gorrig]

It was the vocals that first attracted me to Silver Jews. Some very Lou Reed tones in there which I like.

[crabolde]

for those who don't like his voice live, dont knock it.

Listen to American water and tanglewood numbers. these albums might help you change your mind, have an open mind god damn!

the silver pageant is a great song as is trains above the sea.

[econogate]

He reminds me of Leonard Cohen and yes that would be a compliment.

[kelsey1131]

Yeah, I dunno, there's something nice about his voice. I can see how people would dislike it though.

[Kuparipilli]

"All my favourite singers couldn't sing."

[snoobeagle]

Comments are either against the vocals or in defense of the vocals as "unique." Conclusion: The band needs better vocals :)

[FancyNancyTeaParty]

I love this group so much. Berman's voice is unique and I dig it.

To each their own. Live and let live.

[reddsledd]

horrible. just plain horrible!

[jcc152509]

If he wasn't a fairly well known musician, is he getting that girl(the bassist is his wife)?

[UrbanFlute]

hey, reddsledd(?!), well f you, and i guess you just don't get it, huh?

urbanflute

[reddsledd]

Hey no need for name calling. Maybe I missed the joke. "Urbanflute" is that code for homo?

[UrbanFlute]

hey redddsleddd, aaaa9uh, what's that code for???), this isn't usually my scene, but it appesars you have a lot of time on your hands...urbanflute? yeah, it's code for f you, dude, grab a life and go diss some band that is a little more deserving, you know like your haircut 100 band that you love so much, etc

[reddsledd]

Skinflute what is a a haircut 100 band? Reddsledd can be a car, motorcycle, snowmobile, a pair of atomic skis. It means a lot of things. I see you like to put things into your mouth and blow, in the forest too or maybe a rest area.

[UrbanFlute]

nothing homo about atomic skis

[reddsledd]

you got that right.

[mbs752]

i know what a reddsledd means to me when i watch this video.

[nickstixx]

they sound so much beter live

[reddsledd]

I cant stand this song. What a bunch of crap! Tone deaf singer sounds like shit. Stupid fucking silver jews.

[seasonedass]

Moron.

[reddsledd]

You and that urbanflute should get together. I here he likes seasonedass. UMMM tastes goood.

[UrbanFlute]

rainbow?? r u kidding me? that's like my fav band!!!

dude!

[registeredtosmith]

cutest bass guitarist in the world.

[Sandstone82]

coolest fucking guy breathing

[rmorte62]

He's been my big secret for years. He is sublime. I'm glad he's finally getting the attention he deserves even if it means I won't have him all to myself. "In 27 years I've drunk 50,000 beers". "Half hours on earth, what are they worth" When I heard those two lines the first time I heard Starlite Walker I knew I was in the presence of genius.

[w2a]

One of these best songs ever. I have no words. Berman is godsent. Jokey Joke. C'mon give us new songs without perfection!

[Gaucci78]

One of the best songs ever. I had the privilege to see them performing it live in Barcelona at the Primavera Sound festival.

Dave Berman is Bob Dylan to me.

[UrbanFlute]

yeah, dylan i guess, with a twist of lou reed, dontch think?

urbanflute

[jcc152509]

Interesting comparison.

[UrbanFlute]

...and a little bit of crash test dummies' lead singer, what's his name, not sure if you're from canader

Urban Flute

[reddsledd]

the silver jews suck big time.

[TheUnionBlood]

Intelligent analysis, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree.

[jcc152509]

Why do you dislike them? I couldn't care less either way, but I am curious.

[reddsledd]

For a start the singer sucks and the band plays out of time and tune. Everyone in the band needs to practice more. Maybe a little more time in the woodshed would do them some good. I got a new name for them "The Lazy Jews".

[jcc152509]

Interesting analysis. His voice is average and I don't find them to be strong/intriguing musically, but many people consider him to be a poet.

[sarahofthecorn]

This is my most listened to song ever. Thank you , Silver Jews, for changing my life.

[ralfrecords]

they are so great

[kirky9090]

i feel sorry for the people who don't even know this stuff exists... soooo much better than meaningless soulja boy crap.

[plebegravy]

"half hours on earth, what are they worth, i don't know" I think about this line at least once a week. His lyrics made an impression on me from 18 yrs. old...that I haven't forgotten in over a decade. Good stuff.

[ralfrecords]

I like the break at 2:27 so much

[WhaleMountain]

this song basically broguth me out of depression

[Happossai]

So it helped me.

[howelldrake]

Wow. Both yr comments brought tears to my eyes. Seriously.

I'm still in depression, but I still remember the magic of hearing this song for the first time. I think at 38 yrs, I've drank 3x the beers he claims to have at 27. Yet, I'm still going and making music I like to think is on par w/ DC's.

[Justice153]

been in it for years and it still lingers but The Silver Jews can just tear right through it. I don't know in what way, but I do believe they changed my life.

[philipsmog]

This is the greatest song ever written, no hyperbole.

[ralfrecords]

that's true!!!

[sonicmilk]

they're really bad live...

[JefferySchmitz]

so cool - Drag City has all the coolest bands

[50YearRanger]

Totally bitchin dude!
