Music stripped down to such a pure form. Beautiful. Its bands like these guys that reassure me that music really isnt dying, you just have to dig a little more to find the gold
Well it wasn't dying 11 years ago. These days shit is bad. :( Music is just awful. it broke my hearth when these two broke apart and stopped making music together.
I wish I could see them perform live in such a small venue. They would really know I enjoyed their music because i would not be able to sit still. They would see this young black woman in the audience swaying, smiling and waving my hand to the music. Their music gives my heart wings.Poison and wine describes exactly what I am going through right now and let's me cry.

Their sound is like from a different era. It feels timeless at the same time. They have good stage chemistry but the way their voices blend together is phenomenal. Thank you for creating this music.
Why is it that I just found out this duo 3 or 4 weeks ago or so. I was looking for acoustic songs on Amazon and came across with them and I am hooked watching them on you tube. They are very very good!!!! Can't believe they had broken up. It had been years! Darn it! Just started playing acoustic guitar and ukulele and I appreciate this kind of music. Hope they get back together and write and play more songs because they are amazing together.
chemistry doesn't always have to mean in a sexual way. Its a connection through music if they didnt have some sort of good chemistry or vibes they wouldn't perform as good. They are in tuned with each other musically
I was there when The Civil Wars played upstairs at Billy Reid in Florence Great show! They deserve much more than they have already accomplished! Great humble people!
The Universe brought them together - that sort of chemistry is a once in a lifetime thing if you're lucky. Then there's the being human side to totally screw it all up! I was in a duo that had this chemistry and impact on people - it was a really healing thing said those who know us. Our vocals were perfectly matched and the phrasing was to the breath like these two. But we weren't a couple outside of that and let me tell you - playing like this with someone is pretty close to making love if not better. I't s impossible to keep it bullshit free! Ans so it had to dissolve. One of the saddest mistakes of my life thus far. If you're lucky enough to have something like this and haven't fucked it up yet - DON'T!!
They sound better than almost every single person who uses auto-tune. They're always so pitch perfect. Very few people can play live and sound BETTER than in the studio.
John Paul: It’s a little stressful, because usually I’m in front of strangers, so I can fall flat on my face. Joy: You don’t ever do that, what are you talking about, you’re crazy :3 John Paul: Well, I was fishing for that compliment, in case you didn’t notice. Joy: Oh. :P They are so cute together, oml ^-^ I love them, they are amazing
dont worry they r not done yet. just having a break. they do have families and would like to spend time w/ them. How would u feel if u had to tour all the time never seeing ur spouse or kids?Sometimes people need a vac.just being real. not hatin u or anyone else.please continue 2 support their music.
Chelsea, they`ve been done a while now. People continue to support Joy & John Paul in their endeavors . If they get back together that would be great but there`s no sign of it so far. Unless you know different?
Their concert in NYC was the best thing I have ever seen live in my life. If anyone wants to see some civil wars covers, I tried two of them on my channel :)
@iheartluccileball11 No. Joy Williams husband is the band manager. They are expecting their first child. And as stated in this video, John Paul White is also married.
my boyfriend and i are buying tickets to see them in houston next month! i cannot wait, we fell in love with the civil wars as we started dating. its funny, we've got songs to fall in love to and if we fall out of love, we've got plenty of those too!
They are planning to release more music in 2013, they've only discontinued their tour for the year. This was announced last month. Look at their website. They're not "broken up"
Absolutely love these two, there music is sublime and effortlessly tasteful. now to follow with a tasteless comment: All I can say is, his wife must be absolutely stunning...
@TheOldGrady Yeah, I agree. I play in coffee shop environments and the sounds is always such a hassle. Wish I had a good sound board and equipment to bring around. But this is definitely one of the best sounds I've heard.

every year i come back to this performance to feel things
I'm not crying someone poured water on my face
It’s astounding how moving music can be sometimes. Every time I hear this song, a cluster of memories, thoughts and experiences collide like a storm.
I wish I could see them perform live in such a small venue. They would really know I enjoyed their music because i would not be able to sit still.

Just when you think the world has become void of true, pure unadulterated beauty, this song comes along and proves you wrong..
From France...when I ear this song...I fly , dream and cry
the reminds me a TON of hansard and irglova's "falling slowly."
in a good way. beautiful song
i never realized that but you are so right! both songs have similar vibes and they have similar chemistry! bittersweet. so beautiful.
I think everyone, at least once in their life, can painfully relate to this song.

The Groovy Guitar Dude thank you!!
Sweet all you need now is Joy smashing it next to you.
Their sound is like from a different era. It feels timeless at the same time. They have good stage chemistry but the way their voices blend together is phenomenal. Thank you for creating this music.
This was one of their first songs. Ironic, because it could serve as their swan song with their breakup.
This song always makes me cry. It's just so beautiful
Why is it that I just found out this duo 3 or 4 weeks ago or so. I was looking for acoustic songs on Amazon and came across with them and I am hooked watching them on you tube.

Too much chemistry for the marriages :c
it's the whole package right here
chemistry doesn't always have to mean in a sexual way. Its a connection through music if they didnt have some sort of good chemistry or vibes they wouldn't perform as good. They are in tuned with each other musically
I can't handle watching covers of this song ..... No one exemplifies pure, raw passion like they do.
Why does this song always leave me in pieces?
I don't love you, but I always will. What a powerful line.
That little fade-away note they do in the end together is PERFECTION!
Agree
I love it when a band is just as amazing live as they are recorded. Thats saying a LOT with the recording stuff we have today.
I was there when The Civil Wars played upstairs at Billy Reid in Florence Great show! They deserve much more than they have already accomplished! Great humble people!
the best duet i'v ever heard :)

damn dude... do you have any songs out???
Just bought tickets to see these guys in birmingham ,can't wait, roll on march!
Never seen chemistry like it, stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They sound better than almost every single person who uses auto-tune. They're always so pitch perfect. Very few people can play live and sound BETTER than in the studio.
Such a beautiful song from a beautiful duo.
This one touches the soul big time! Can't wait their gig on March in Stockholm!
John Paul: It’s a little stressful, because usually I’m in front of strangers, so I can fall flat on my face.
Joy: You don’t ever do that, what are you talking about, you’re crazy :3
John Paul: Well, I was fishing for that compliment, in case you didn’t notice.
Joy: Oh. :P
They are so cute together, oml ^-^ I love them, they are amazing

All I can say is, his wife must be absolutely stunning...
Cant wait to see them at Bonnaroo this year!
Can't wait for April 1st :) They'll be in Switzerland!!! :D
Amazing!
Kudos to the sound tech -- this was no easy mix
Saw them last night in London, there was no sign of any issues, very good at hiding it! Beautiful show though!
Fantastic. I agree with the commenter who said "pure class, in its simplest form." No doubt.
@TheOldGrady Yeah, I agree. I play in coffee shop environments and the sounds is always such a hassle. Wish I had a good sound board and equipment to bring around. But this is definitely one of the best sounds I've heard.
They just announced on their website recently that they have new music coming out...sounds like they're still a band to me and your life is not dead.
Absolute magic, that's all I've got to say.
She's stunning! very beautiful voice so is his.
One of the few artists that can really sing live! :D
lindo saludos desde Ecuador
When he said "beautiful wife" I went "dammit!", that's a lucky man right there.
Perfection and my two year old loves them too lol
going to see these in October
Its poetry
Their album is awesome. I love it. I read somewhere they did a tour with Adele. My first thought: I HAVE TO SEE THEM LIVE!
