Silver Jews "Random Rules" (Official Music Video)

Untreated addiction always ends poorly. RIP.

Feel sorry, all around people passed away, stupid things, broken hearts + stuff ...

Still relevant. Whatever that might mean

Perez Shirley Jones David Rodriguez Christopher

The most beautiful sadness

I always thought SM was in this video so many years ago. funny how memory twists and fades.

10 years ago this song changed my life

A legend! I will Jam with you in heaven David!

Miss David so much, unbelievable lyricist ❤

"Acrosst Europe."

so ahead of its time. still ahead of this time.

Dr israr.. Predictions

Why does the painter call David, Steve? :) :)

any comments about the young girl in the vid? was she of age or a metaphor type shit? only asking bc god this song has done some crazy buisness to me and i dont want it to be what it could be.

Rainbo! Love that bar

😭😭😭😭

"I was taking a lot of drugs at that time. And there were a lot of drugs in the studio. And all these things that would have horrified indie rock people, that I would never want them to know. I wanted to make a record that wasn't some terrible, big, painful experience. I wanted to make records like other people make records, where you're having fun when you're doing it."

time has this way of reminding me of david. and im here again. i miss you, david. genuinely! and we dont even know each other. i was just a baby when this album came out and now im in my 20s crying to it. thank you for your art

damen Ave whattup

RIP David

Miss him so much.

Tan line on your ring finger always gets me 😪

"No one should have two lives
Now I know my middle names are wrong and right
honey we've got two lives to give tonight"

You think he can't beat the first line but then there's the final dagger. Bravo.

May David rest in peace. His music has both exacerbated my sad feelings while also evoking this inner fun part, my wife and I sing this song in a joyous way. And yet, it makes me sad. Yeah you look like someone who up and left me alone…

That bar is composed an awful lot like Moes from the Simpsons

why's this so goddamn quiet

Love you David.

Beautiful

❤

❤❤❤❤❤

Malkmus and Berman are to me like twin brothers but maybe I am awfully wrong. Yet they are I think two of the most brilliant songwriters of their times, and worked together for a while. I enjoy their songs so much.

Ah, so good to hear him again! So sad, but I respect that. Still..

This is such a good song. Can't believe I never heard it until recently.

This song is incredible

U guys ever heard of Sat Nite Duets?

I can't stop listening to this song

One of the all timers. RIP DB.

this is my favorite opening line to a song ever

I asked an AI engine why the roads are covered in black. It said, “The roads are likely covered in asphalt, which is a dark, black material that is used to create roads and other paved surfaces. Asphalt is made up of a combination of sand, gravel, and bitumen (an oil-based product). Asphalt is a durable and long-lasting material that is easy to maintain.”

All his songs are a verse too short. They go down and down and there is never a catharsis of hope. I guess it makes a sad sort of sense.

Nothing happens for a reason, it just happens

Still one of the most beautiful guitar soli ever. Steve, you smug sad bastard.

Had the pleasure of sitting down with him, doing some hard drinking with him, at the Mag bar in Louisville, Ky circa 1997…he probably got tired of me singing his praises for like 2 hours straight, or maybe he enjoyed my hot girlfriend at the time drinking with us… either way 20 years later I still wake up in the morning with this song stuck in my head

Maestro Berman se lo extraña

Dudes like Dave keep me making music.

Great musician, I only discovered 22 years too late

I always feel inspired to be a nicer and calmer person whenever I hear this song.

I love this new Johnny Cash Expanded laterally yet sensical.

love u dave x

Aaaaaand about 20 years later I found out there was an “official video” for this song that I’ve loved for about 20 years
