stardustgirl they broke up several years ago, they didn’t even speak afterwards. They didn’t even accept they’re Grammy together afterwards, whatever really happened was bad, very bad.
It really is a shame they couldn't coexist artistically. They had amazing chemistry and such incredibly haunting harmony. Quite simply one of the most talented and special duos I've ever seen. I love their time together, the amazing music they gifted the world with, and really really miss them.
Yeah, perfect example of a special moment with someone and how they were able to share it with so many of us to make it more special. We all compromise in some way, shape, or form until we cant any longer. The genius is rising to the occasion to part ways with class. They basically said even a successful music career cannot mend this break they have. I think people cannot understand that and that's why people have to make it so scandalous by saying it was an affair or something deceitful.
How can you listen to their music and admire them as artists and think that was hate? There's no question that these two fell in love. As a musician, I can tell you that the intimacy of singing together is incredible and I have had to stop singing with some because of the confusion that results. Whether or not they went too far, they are breaking up for their families, and it's hard enough without having to look at each other. My heart breaks for them, and for all fans. It's not hate- it's loss.
A part of me cannot believe they released this song. It is so insanely intimate and seems to literally tell their whole story. I can’t believe they would want this out there.
Joy has said in more than one interview that online rumors and speculation, such as this comment, were a key part of their break-up. The pressure on their marriages was made worse, on top of the difficult touring schedules could impose. I miss them together, too.
I read on Reddit from someone claiming they knew them in person was because Joy felt overshadowed by JP and felt heldback, wanted to go solo, but JP wanted to continue being a duo as it was successful compared to his solo years. Different ambitions, lots of bitterness, and ended up splitting. Also the person claimed the whole being together was an act they enjoyed, their spouses knew of the act too.
@@Vanadahthis doesn’t make much sense, Joy should’ve been grateful for the success of the group since she wasn’t widely known prior to this duo either. Not sure I believe that she would want to go solo so early on in their success.
Anyone still listening in 2021? This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Reminds me of how I learned to love so deeply for the first time and then to learn to heal the heart from the heartbreak. Bittersweet… the second time around, I learned to love myself more and let go.
…yeah, I’m here, heh. At 40 I’ve had more than a few relationships. But I was just with someone for 3 years that made me believe in soulmates, we were so perfect together. Has been 8mos since she left and I’m still so shattered. This song is ❤️
@@ne1up I can relate but even after my heartbreak, I am sure that one day, someone worthy of my love will come and stay forever! At my young age of 46, I finally learned to let go of a past that keeps me stuck, but remember everything as to not repeat!!!
does anybody else feel like this is watching footage of their breakdown as it was happening? it's eerie now, especially when you compare this to the chemistry they used to have in their live shows... so tragic.
"I miss the way you wanted me when I was staying just out of your reach...begging for the slightest touch, oh you couldn't get enough" powerful lyrics that capture the emotion completely
@@agentfaithful That makes sense. Even after these years you can see their incredible lyrical intertwining which would make a casual observer *believe* they were together as a couple. And yet never were, but will always be musically..
While the music is phenomenal, the video makes me so very sad. You can feel the tension between them. This isn't acting for the video. You can see the true emotion in their eyes. If you look at all of their earlier recordings the dynamics between them were completely different than what is presented here. They would smile at each other, they would interact playfully, there was a twinkle in their eyes, they actually LIKED each other. Clearly in this video stress and discord is abundant and sadly you can see the broken bond. So terribly sad that such an amazing duo had to part ways. But I want to thank them for what they have given us, it was their legacy in their time. God Bless them both for whatever the future holds.
so true. you can feel the tension in the room with them...it almost brought me to tears for them. you can tell how real and raw these words and their emotions were still for them while making this video. i don't know how they did it. i would love to meet them in person. they seem like very strong people, it takes a very strong person to sing that openly for the sake of the music and still giving it all the passion of your soul like they do. amazingly beautiful.
I think that may have been the tip of the iceberg, but I think it was more complex than that, way more. Something that is between them, that I'm sure we will never know. I do recall Joy singing as a guest lately. Wasn't half bad. But JP, lord that man, listening to him sing live Tip of my tongue from New Orleans, my world stops and goes on a musical not journey when he sings and plays guitar.
@@mcharleymiller1291 I'm a huge fan and have watched, read, and listened to everything I can get my hands on. From what I have gathered every source swears it was "differences of ambition" blah blah blah. My theory is that one or both of them developed feelings and they had to shut the band down to keep their marriages. JP especially seemed really dedicated to his wife when he thanked her during their last Grammy speech (where Joy was noticeably absent). He also didn't thank Joy at all which seemed so odd. Like could you really hate someone so much over differences of ambition? Although I have seen in interviews where JP and Joy talk about being "opposites" of each other. I also saw another interview where there was awkward tension and Joy "joked" about negatives coming into her life when she met JP. JP also said in an interview once that "If people spent 5 min with them -they'd realize they are NOT a couple". Joy also mentioned on a podcast she signed an NDA when they broke up. But maybe that is standard procedure when a band breaks up these days? While I do feel there was some element of romance between them I can only guess on to what extent. The only pinch of information I found alluding to a romantic relationship was in Joy's NPR where she says this, " But I do think that that was something that could be confusing, both for the audience and for me at times" in regards to marketing themselves to look like a couple. While this is really really vague she clearly states the lines between pretend and reality got blurred for her at least. Lastly, I want to add the disclaimer my theory is only my theory and I could be totally wrong. Maybe it's possible they are simply great at acting and looking in love with each other to pull the audience in? If so, it clearly worked on me. Anyway. I love talking about this band so thanks for asking :) They were my fav band and I am still mourning their split, but at least we still have the music they made even if there will never be any new material from them.
I have never heard two voices blend so effortlessly beautifully together. Love the mix of anger and sadness to the song. Perfectly encapsulates the feeling after a bad breakup with anyone, lover or friend.
@@TemDTudo642 same! I've been grieving for years now, i'm waiting for some sort of reunion. it probably won't happen, but I'll wait 20 years if I have to.
Coming back to this after listening to all of JPW's solo albums. They are amazing. Much respect to Joy, she's an amazing musician, but JPW is on another level. Highly recommend checking out his stuff.
Whether they were truly in love or it was just their onstage chemistry, there's no denying that this video is emotionally manipulative. Shot in B&W, the editing of capturing them at intense, introspective and critical moments.. The video uses the two of them to tell the story of the song.. And I'm imagining they agreed to the portrayal. So who really knows.
Totally agree. Joy admitted they leaned into the "Are they a couple or not?" for their marketing strategy. And while part of me thinks they had a torrid love affair I feel like they could also just be great performers who know how to look at each other to captivate the audience the entire time. And here I am over 10 years later still watching their music videos wondering about it. 😅
I think this is the most emotional video I have seen, knowing the story, and how different their attitudes are displayed here than in earlier ones. The part where she is scribbling out part of "I wish that I had never seen your face" on the lyric sheet.... It just adds to it all. It's so bittersweet, the ending of this duo. What was, what could never be.
I was fortunate to see them on the night they broke up. The best concert I have ever been to and a real shock to wake up the next morning and read they had broken up. Sad.
3 years and it still breaks my heart that they are apart. I had such a strong faith in their chemistry, love, whatever you call it. They obviously belong to each other.
#THECIVILWARS #THECIVILWARS Musically, one of the finest duos in music. It's unfortunate for those of us who really derived tremendous pleasure from their music and songwriting, that we might never have occasion to hear them perform together again. Such a loss for the industry and fans. They were exceptional 😀👍👍👍🎸🎹🎻🥁🎸💜💖❤️💛🧡💚💙
I was with my significant other for 18 yrs. This song perfectly describes us.I don't think I'll EVER stop loving him although we weren't good for each other. Dec.6 Will be 3 yrs. since he passed away. I miss him so bad and this song is something I have wanted to put on paper. y'all are awesome together. Great song. LOVE yall. AT least now I can just fall apart and cry myself asleep.If I'm lucky or blessed.
Their sound is phenomenal and I dropped when I found out they weren't married to each other. The chemistry just seemed there but I hope they both are okay. Being a band, they must have a part of their identity associated with each other. Respect their decision and if it was about his marriage than I applaud you both.
still listening in 2024 and they are just as good now as the first time I heard them live in SLC Utah at the gray whale record store near the U with line 5 other people.
Their lyrically quality is amazing: “I miss the way you wanted me When I was staying just out of your reach” "Oh, if I could go back in time, when you only held me in my mind Just a longing, gone without a trace"
#THECIVILWARS #THECIVILWARS #JoyWilliams #JohnPaulWhite aka #TheCivilWars. You two made the most illustrious music ever. True pleasure to listen to it 😄👍👍👍🎻🎸🥁🎹🎸❤️🧡💜
watching this back is almost painful, it seems now so evident in their emotions that things had fallen apart. almost eerie to watch this knowing that they broke up shortly after. Civil Wars, we miss you.
So many nights and tears with this song. The best duo singers I ever heard, so pity they will never come to my country as "The Civil Wars". Regards from Poland.
***** nope it is impossible to maintain such intense emotion, it is selfdestrutctive in the longrun. But man the emotion while it last are unmatched.. and that is why music is called the universal language. Nothing can compare to what musical connection is. Not even Love, cuz in the end that connection is stronger and sadly, selfdestrutctive...
If they are just "acting" as they have implied for the video,then they are not only amazing vocalists...but also should consider a career in acting lol Their body language and the way they look into eachothers eyes an pull each other in ...The real reason for the split was that the two of them are married with families....and before it had gone too far (if it already hadn't) they called the whole thing off .I'm sure there was a strong urging from each of their spouses as well on the subject as well, you would have to be blind not to see what was happening here...really a shame, they made truly beautiful music together..
Their looks at each other. It is apparent that this song was written about their relationship with each other. There was either an affair or near affair. This song screams it. And the tension, you could cut it with a knife.
Seriously how can anyone DISLIKE this video, this song, this band!?!?! It blows my mind that there are people who can't see the magic that happened here, even with how they ended...
this video is soooo hard to watch. something broke with them. we can only speculate what. the tension. damn... I miss them together. the music was beautiful. I always used to say that I want a man to look at me the way he looked at her... then I found out they were married... to other people😩😩😩
+Jace smith yup.....I believe he is in love with her and willing to risk everything to be with her but she would not leave her husband....she is too scared of what people would think of her if she did that.....her Christian upbringing makes her like that.....but they really do look awesome together,, better than the way they look with each other's spouses, and make great music together too
she mentioned in an article about a year ago that she wanted one thing, and he didnt want that. Then after they broke up, I saw something about how he went home to his wife and refused to talk to anyone. I also think she tried to talk to him, but they no longer speak to each other.
This video is so beautiful but eerie. I’m honestly surprised they released it. The nature of the song perfectly reflects what is apparent in the video. The tension between them is crazy and there is an apparent rift between them as well. Perhaps the two of them really do wish they were the “one who got away” 😥😥

Joy said JP hasn’t spoken to her since 2012. And that was that. Whatever happened, happened. But mercy, that music will live forever…
In a perfect world these two are still making music together.

Agreed! "Poison & Wine" - and "The One That Got Away".

I love seeing people sing with passion. With intensity. It's stunning to witness.
If there was ever an award for a song that truly epitomized “three chords and the truth,” this could never be bested.
Their chemistry is undeniable
GET BACK TOGETHER PLEASE FOR HUMANITY
lol
I feel like if country music was more like this, the world would be in a better place.
2023 still listening still wishing they were together
@@theway5563 lol oh well I’ll be listening in 23 too
@@theway5563 Hey! You don't know...he could have a time machine.
2017 and I am still brokenhearted that this duo didn't last.
I miss them so much!!!!!
Still loving it in2023
One of the most amazing poems/ songs ever.
2021 and this is still one of the best groups.
So love their harmony and magnetism! Wish they would get back together!
I saw them twice back when they were touring Barton Hollow. Most beautiful shows of my life. 🖤
Seriously how can anyone DISLIKE this video, this song, this band!?!?! It blows my mind that there are people who can't see the magic that happened here, even with how they ended...
this video is soooo hard to watch. something broke with them. we can only speculate what. the tension. damn... I miss them together. the music was beautiful. I always used to say that I want a man to look at me the way he looked at her... then I found out they were married... to other people😩😩😩
+Jace smith yup.....I believe he is in love with her and willing to risk everything to be with her but she would not leave her husband....she is too scared of what people would think of her if she did that.....her Christian upbringing makes her like that.....but they really do look awesome together,, better than the way they look with each other's spouses, and make great music together too
i always thought it was the other way around, considering what happened as soon as they called it quits.
Emma Mcdowall what happened?
she mentioned in an article about a year ago that she wanted one thing, and he didnt want that. Then after they broke up, I saw something about how he went home to his wife and refused to talk to anyone. I also think she tried to talk to him, but they no longer speak to each other.
wait, so they were having an affair? wow!Emma Mcdowall
I’m still watching and loving it life the first time….so many years ago
Ooops…went too fast…life=like
This video is so beautiful but eerie. I’m honestly surprised they released it. The nature of the song perfectly reflects what is apparent in the video. The tension between them is crazy and there is an apparent rift between them as well. Perhaps the two of them really do wish they were the “one who got away” 😥😥
Best vocals ever :)
You left your fans with only memories of how great you were when you were together but you disbanded and I’m still saddened by it!
❤❤❤Years later and I'm still regretting not seeing them live. 😢😢😢
this song, this video, it all just breaks my heart
I never thought the last time....would be the last time.
Nothing, I just wanted to see what it was like to come here when I’m all good.
Over five years later, and I still miss these two.
RIP the civil wars - one of my favourite musical groups ever
Still vibing to this in 2023
2021 and these guys still blow my mind everytime.. Gone but not forgotten!
This video still hurts me until now.
This studio version is so raw and beautiful but so filled with sorrow and resentment at the same time.
It still hurts..and will always hurt.
My favorite The Civil Wars song
what if they someday end up together?in their 70's or something
