    Their music has a simplicity that disguises their superb arrangements and masterful harmonies. Their break-up not only is a blow to the American music scene but a truly sad loss to the thousands of fans who loved them, myself among them.

    They are the only duo like this. And it sucks that they broke up because I will never hear anything as beautiful as the way they sound. Unless someone has any options.

      +Riaz Ali he did touch my soul. He was very special to me. I met him in 2014 and I got along so well with him. it was amazing, even though I hadn't met him we had a great connection and got along so so well. he was funny and caring and loving .. unfortunately he lives around GA side and me in South Africa. I lost contact with him about 2 years ago and I think about him often. I was so stupid to just leave him. hopefully I find him again some day. I am praying so.

    I saw The Civil Wars at the Fillmore in San Francisco this past Thursday, Nov 17th. The music that comes from them is just magical... I have NEVER in my life witnessed a completely silent crowd like the one I was in that night- so silent you could hear the air conditioner blowing during the moments of quiet in the song. Watching them perform this welled up my eyes and squeezed at my heart. I will never forget that performance. They truly moved me deep within; an unforgettable night.

    The first time I saw them live I was at an Adele concert in Montreal and when they played their first song my heart melted. I've never heard two people sound so beautiful together in my life and by far my favourite album to listen to is theirs. You guys are both perfection together and I hope you never stop playing music together cause it would just be the biggest shame.

    It just baffles me, how naturally beautiful the two of them singing together is. I love these videos. Not only do they showcase how amazing the music is, but it makes me feel like I'm sitting in on a jam session. So awesome.

  • @thepassingoftime

      That’s why they ended up breaking up as a duo, mid-tour…also because her husband was their manager, lol. The crappy thing is, they had a once-in-a lifetime musical chemistry… they’re perfect for each other. My wife and I were waiting for a long time for them to either divorce their spouses and get married, or just keep going on the way that they were. All of that aside, just an absolute perfect duo, perfectly exquisite songwriting and musical arrangements, just all around amazing… That’s two people right there that were made for each other.

    • @dettymakesart

    When people wonder why I complain about modern music because it has TONS of audio editing in post, this video is why I complain. Because it's the exact opposite of all that! I can hear the hum of the room, their breath, the guitar's subtle inconsistencies, their natural and beautiful voices.

If they already have kids and are married then I sought they will get back together. And I think that they still think about each other even though they are married to someone else. This just looks like such a real and rare love. I hope they get back together.

    i don't think it's “internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition”.
    in my wildest dream, they just can't stop the fact that they are falling deeper for each other, and it's impossible for them to continue to make beautiful music together without hurting people around them.
