The arrangements, some of the most gracious Berman’s ever had, hum and glow with foggy organs and soft golden horns. One has to appreciate dark comedy to enjoy some of Purple Mountains but the music itself often is upbeat and contrasts with the melancholy nicely like sweet and sour. More than twenty years after , Berman’s rules are still random; his music is a meandering map of a life without guideposts. Ben Beaumont-Thomas @ben_bt. Judging from the coverage, I’m not the only one who feels an unseemly tug in the music, something maybe to resist a little. :( But you can detect a new clarity even in the declarative titles of the most beautiful songs, like “All My Happiness Is Gone” and “Snow Is Falling in Manhattan,” the record’s most artful moment, where Berman makes trochaic tetrameter sound at once conversationally spry and intricately fashioned. Hearing Berman’s lyrical poetry is nothing new, but there’s something so special about this particular description of New York. My favorites are: "All My Happiness Is Gone," "Darkness and Cold," "Nights That Won't Happen," and "Storyline Fever." I wish could have seen (and heard) Berman and his new band live.

I can’t hear Berman without thinking about something that never occurred to me then: how his just-like-us appeal really means just like me, with the cultural privilege to be a mess and to fail, to be average and adored for it, to retain a foothold in the music industry no matter how hard he tries to slip.

Jarvis Taveniere and Jeremy Earle of Woods, with eight other musicians filling the gaps. “In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection,” Berman says, adding to his vast repertoire of unforgettable opening lines. For a mysterious recluse who seldom performs or gives interviews, he sure has proven to be disclosive—a genial, self-aware mess But that’s just how Bermania goes, a reciprocal unwarranted familiarity, a mutual valorization of shame and defeat. His presence is Callahanning, too, as he pares his famous wordplay away from a core of profound simplicity. DC680; CD). He hates his father. All I can think though, listening to the lyrics of most of these songs is that Mr. Berman knew he was going to commit suicide and broadcast his side of a "relationship gone bad" to the world blaming his X--all I can think of is how awful she must feel when I listen--what a cruel, sadistic thing to do to an intimate partner. Berman’s lyrics and delivery is the glue that brings it all together.
