Here's one of the most beautiful letters I've ever read.

From the Purple Mountains reddit AMA:

'Q: What’s your biggest lyrical regret, and what will your gravestone say? Thank you, I’ve missed your music all these years!

A: So many. It hit me just recently that in the first 4 lines i rhyme myself with myself! That was not something i intended to do!

I FUCKED up on the opening lyric of the opening song though i had pored over it for months- I had to laugh.

I was "crestfallen" until i thought of the mirroring themes mentioned elsewhere, and was able to rationalize it as a great mistake.

HEADSTONE:

"HE WAS CRESTFALLEN UNTIL HE WAS ABLE TO RATIONALIZE IT AS A GREAT MISTAKE"'

First: this song rocks: https://songwhip.com/the-arcs/eyez2023

Second: El Michels Affair—purveyor of fine beats—is in the band.

Third: one of their songs is basically a collab with David Berman, who released his own version on his Purple Mountains album:

David Berman would have turned 56 today. When it’s snowing outside, like it is today, I often think of this song. What a masterful songwriter and lyricist he was.

Remembering David Berman, born on this date in 1967

#davidberman #purplemountains #baseballcards #cardart

#DavidBerman did a wondrous 'ask me anything' session on Reddit a short while before he died. David was funny and intelligent like no other person, really, and he shows in this one.

Were he still alive, #DavidBerman would today turn 56 years old. He founded #SilverJews and #PurpleMountains.

As #PurpleMountains, David made the best album of 2019: https://songwhip.com/purple-mountains/purple-mountains

That album contains some of my favourite rock lyrics. It's also so very well composed and made out.

I've missed David every single week since he died.
