The Civil Wars - Kingdom Come (On-Airstreaming)

[@Bekisutton]

the fact that they broke up as a band breaks my heart. Their harmonies are breathtaking. And the chemistry they have is amazing

[@iwantallthedogs3291]

Ugh! They were so perfect. I hate that they aren't singing together. Like, literally, so perfect. The way they feed off of each other.

[@yusufbaskoro5580]

wait, they are broke up???

[@hanpogee2356]

Yusuf Baskoro yes they did. i also discovered them 3 yrs ago only to know they were already disbanded 😭

[@mandyrobbins2160]

Did anyone notice how in sync their body language was at the end? The both flipped their hair and touched their face at the exact same time. Those two have a crazy cosmic connection.

[@CloudsHideTheSun]

Such a shame they split. I don't think I've ever seen two musicians with such chemistry. They were so in tune with each other.

[@smartalek180]

+CloudsHideTheSun Just a bit too much, as it turns out... :'(

[@Circuit.Cosplays]

Wait wait wait hold the truck up. They broke up? I JUST FOUND THEM! FUCK

[@CloudsHideTheSun]

Yep. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Get on Spotify and have a listen to their Barton Hollow album. It may help to dull the pain.

[@DavizzzDivo]

+CloudsHideTheSun OH. MY. GODDDDDDDD. I HAVE JUST FOUND THEM TOO

I am infatuated with how they perform their music together. When they sing it's like there's this little deep seed growing in their hearts and it grows and blossoms as they push words beautifully out of their mouths. The way they look at each other just melts my heart.

[@luisescobar193]

Totally agree

[@mreduardo2006]

This. Yes. Exactly.

[@williamguz94]

Sadly they separated :(

[@renevdfvries2148]

That is beautifully put. You pushed these words out of your mouth very eloquently Tania 🙏

[@blacklitchick]

That little smile that John Paul does after Joy fixes his hair is just about the cutest thing ever.

[@saraliz30]

It's like a punch to the gut. I just can't let go. So. Damn. Good.

[@getloko2013]

[@kerthgersen3163]

Exackly.

[@LRivera782]

Joy and John Paul were pure magic together. So sad things didn't work out.

[@ddra9446]

I like never seen their faces since 2013 just listened to their songs. And I am quite suprised that they look as good as their songs. Nice.

[@ziia_zoozoo5231]

Joy bravely looks at John. John holds back his emotions and looks back shyly...😍😍😍😍

[@Trollificusv2]

To those whose want to take the mature attitude that everyone who sees signs of intimacy in their unbelievable chemistry is being prurient, consider:
a) The 'denials' of any kind of affair are very carefully phrased not-exactly-denials.
b) Singing is a physical act, and duet singing can indeed be very intimate.
c) They toured by themselves (no kids or spouses) during 2009-2011. A lot.
d) people who claim direct, on-site observation say they sure seemed to be 'together' during that time.
e) Their performances, watched from first to most recent, show a clear arc from great personal affection (intimacy, little touches, singing to each other holding eye contact, etc...) to less and less such interaction. To the point that the video of their last show, last song, shows JP will not even look at her, and she is just...broken. And the singing stays, perfect, pure...
And F) The sound! The perfect, or beyond perfect, merging of voices, and the lyrical content of the songs they wrote is just...well, it's more than I can believe that they are just 'selling the song' with so much passion, with zero personal feelings involved. Just don't fly.
I hate TMZ, EW, the whole celebrity-selling media and the people who consume it...and yet...and yet. This story has hooked me, partly because of the stunning music, partly because they're attractive (and adults!), partly because of the mysteries behind it all. Turned me into one of those idiot people who get way more obsessed with the lives of the "stars" than they should. But I am so obsessed, I'll even point out one totally inappropriate fact: After 10 years of childless marriage, Joy had a child after touring with JP for a year. Just sayin'...

[@cf8595]

Well about the kid thing...it could have been a way to reconnect the marriage/save it, too.

[@iamsultana]

Thanks for this comment. For a long time I was denying their 'intimacy' arguing that they are performers and artists so of course they act intimate because their music is intimate. However, the more I delved into their personal and professional affairs (no pun intended), the more I am led to believe that they in fact either had a full blown affair, or at least a highly emotional affair, which is why their split was so inappropriately handled (cancelled shows, no touring to promote the second album, a very strange vibe at the last concert). The fact that even now, after so many years, they are still on non-speaking terms (at least Joy confirmed two years ago that the last concert was the last time she spoke to John Paul) says volumes. In fact, JP has not talked about Joy in none of his interviews, ever, since 2012. That is not normal for two ex-bandmates, especially when they are obviously lovely people, so whatever conflict they had back then simply had to be highly emotional. There is no way it was about "differences in ambition".
Besides, I don't know if you know this, but Joy did say that her marriage was on the rocks the year the CW was touring and took a hiatus. She said they did couples therapy and it did wonders for them. But I guess the effect was temporary. They had a second child a few years later (another attempt to create intimacy in a crumbling marriage, in my opinion) and they have separated this year. No divorce papers signed yet but they aren't living together.

[@mandyrobbins2160]

This is a thrilling theory except for one thing--their manager was Joy's husband, and he traveled with them on their tours.

[@ottoroe]

Fits The Hunger Games perfectly

[@Trollificusv2]

"It'll all be over soon". All too soon, dammit. Together they were a gift from God. If you like singing, human voices singing together, you know there's just not many like this. Binging two days on CW and JPW and it still hurts that they can't find a way to make this magic any more. Damn.

[@39Bosski]

I get goose bumps every time I hear this. I downloaded and played this over and over for days on end. It's just surreal. Love it!!

[@42sjamieson]

Love their pairing so sad their no longer together such amazing team they make such beautiful songs together

[@arrianemaydelrosario1511]

I love how they look each other's eyes when they sing :)) love ❤

[@fluffypancakes899]

It's so good to listen to this again. Brings back memories. I was only thirteen when I heard this--it was a part of The Hunger Games soundtrack and I was a huge fan of that series back then. This was their first song that I listened to and I was immediately hooked by the amazing harmony and the power of their vocals. Six years later, through their breakup and all, I still am in awe every time I watch them.

[@robertmorris4770]

So pure. Can't let it go either. Joy is ethereal and John Paul just takes off. Awesome!

[@stingfan16ify]

Amazing live rendition of "Kingdom Come"! Once again (as always) perfect harmonies, lilting guitar accompaniment, and pure emotion in both the lyrics and the performance. It really hurts to think of "what could've been" for these two. This is just "Musical Perfection"!!!

[@Tommi4judah]

I've never seen such a connection between a man and a woman that wasn't romantic in nature. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe that connection was spilling over into personal parts of their lives. Splitting would be the noble thing to do since they're both married.

[@areyoulistening6367]

Run, run, run away
Buy yourself another day
A cold wind's whispering secrets in your ear
So low only you can hear
Run, run, run and hide
Somewhere no one else can find
Tall trees bend and lean pointing where to go
Where you will still be all alone
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
Run fast as you can
No one has to understand
Fly high across the sky from here to kingdom come
Fall back down to where you're from
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, for you
Don't you fret, my dear
(Don't you fret, my dear)
It'll all be over soon
(It'll all be over soon)
I'll be waiting here
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, For you
Run, Run, Run Away
Run, Run, Run Away

[@job1181]

After watching all their performances together I have a weird feeling that because they never got together romantically it lead to the break up of their band. When you're meant to be with someone and they with you but you force yourself to be with someone else, it just makes it too painful to be around each other.

[@smartalek180]

+job1181 "they never got together romantically"I could be wrong (I often am), but I think it's exactly because they DID at some point "get together," that (being as they're both married to other people, and have kids) they had to break up the act.Check out their song, "The One That Got Away," and consider that one of their producers is on record as having said something to the effect of, "OMG, it's all right there in the song!"Not to suggest that it's any of our business anyway, mind you...Either way, it's a tragedy that the band is no longer; a lot of great music that we're never gonna get to hear now.

[@megatrollificus]

They toured by themselves early on, to small venues: record stores, schools, small bars. There are people on record who were around those performances who said they sure as hell seemed to be "together". Also, and sorry if this is a little sleazy, but she was married for 8, 9 years, childless until she got pregnant during that period, and childless in the years since the breakup. Just. Sayin'.

[@esperanzogomez3237]

No, Depp's (lol) head got too big for his hat and he didn't think he needed to have company on the stage. How wrong he was.

[@johnreagan]

@@megatrollificus Joy has noted in at least one interview that she and Nate had multiple miscarriages during their marriage. I'm personally childless after 14 years of marriage. Children or lack thereof says absolutely nothing about the quality or virility of a marriage.

[@oliviag.c.795]

I will never get over the beauty these two created.

[@atimsihcus]

Love this song. Its like listening to a song while you're asleep and it makes you feel more cosy. Their voices are so soothing. :)

[@gracemoldovan3313]

2019 and still missing them!!! 😭😭😭😭

[@rallen63092]

That low, droning E he plays when he's strumming hard makes all the difference. A really eery, discomforting sound. Perfect for this soundtrack.

[@megatrollificus]

Very much. Good call. He's pretty self-deprecatory about his guitar playing, but he's good, he's clever, he can find tunes...

[@annesampson2109]

they adore each other.

[@mollyharrison6860]

You could tell me this was the studio version and I literally would never have known. Absolutely stunning vocals and guitar skills.

Why does everyone I know in person think this song is depressing...?
It's beautiful :'3

[@USER_aakash]

Bcoz their choice of judging music must not be good enough to know the power of this song..
(Note: by the way, its been a long time without this music so have a moment for this and feel the power in case if u havent )😊

[@rosecanete353]

Argh it sux they split. I can never get enough of these two. They were so perfect together. 😢😢😢

[@ChuckSchickx]

They become one through the music. Mesmerizing and pure joy. They burned white hot, then were consumed by the flame.

[@God0fCows]

Either they were, or wanted to be together. But it would ruin their marriages. So, they left, because it would keep their lives from falling appart. But honestly, with the way they were skyrocketing in the music business, they could have pulled it off. But they decided not to. So now we'll never know what could have been.

[@fannishfanning160]

they did the correct thing and in the end they still have their solo careers AND their families.
