    I don't know how to explain it, but they give me this deep ache in my chest every time I watch them together or hear them sing. They bleed love. Their voices meld together like two people making love and it gives me the warmest, fuzziest feeling inside. It's like falling in love all over again. Butterflies and everything. Ship so hard. I don't know how they COULDN'T be in love - I'm in love with the both of them, and I'm a third party. Good grief.

    i remember watching this in high school and just being mesmerized... god I miss The Civil Wars there will never be a duo like them

    they are both married, but they were married before they met each other, and with all they went through making and playing this amazing music, I honestly believe they fell in love, which is probably why they decided to call it quits after such a successful album. I dont see any other reason why they would stop.

    Their harmonies bring tears to my eyes. I love these two so much.

    In a duo format, the pressure to get along can overwhelm. They came together by pure happenstance and seem to have nothing in common aside from the fact that their voices blend so astoundingly. They were stunned by it in the first meeting. It's why they were compelled to do this. I'd give anything if they could have maintained the friendship, but, sometimes even the best vocal matches have an all too short shelf life. Ask the Everly Brothers. Maybe we'll luck out and they'll manage to reconcile.

    Inspirational on so many levels (and I am 73!). So many performers in different fields could learn so much from this. The music isn't bad either! They look as though they are enjoying being together. If this is the viewers first experience of The Civil Wars - check them out. You will not be disappointed. Bert Bretherton

    A very special friend of mine introduced me to them about a year ago. He knew I would instantly fall in love with them. He and I are very musically alike. I wish I could say he was still with me, but he is not, so I have them to keep him in my heart. SO Bryan RIchard Akers if you ever read this, I love ya, and miss you terribly. BUT THANK YOU for you introducing me to them. They are so unique, I listen to them all the time. Such talent and such harmonizing and grace in their voice. LOVE THEM>

    This is the saddest case of June Carter and Johnny Cash syndrome I have ever seen. It breaks my heart that they split, but maybe they will get back together.

    "Be kind for everyone you know is fighting a greater battle" not sure if everyone even knows who Plato or arostatle is sorry for miss spell but this is one of the greatest quotes coined wish more people lived by this. And as for these they are just amazing funny the chemistry they have if a person didn't do their research you would think these two where married to each other. They sure have an amazing connection and are wonderful singers they are wonderful

    Wow I just want to say what an inspirational school I find this to be and how I wish I spent four years in it. From exposing the students to indie and folk bands to the Plato quote on the wall. My high school experience was a completely average one, void of any inspiration not found within the great and holy bible. Sure we had inspirational quotes, like Matthew 3:16-18 or some sht. Yeah we had motivational speakers, they were priests and we had to listen every friday morning.

  • @LiztheLizard
    @LiztheLizard 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    They're not improvising a thing in this one... They know these songs backwards and forwards and are so comfortable with the music and each other that they can make it seem effortless. Watch enough of their performances (and see them live) and you'll be able to tell the difference. Improvisation is when the capo fell off of his guitar when they were performing at Eddie's Attic and they effortlessly picked up right where they left off.

  • @malcolmsilva
    @malcolmsilva 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've actually heard that the 'new' album is all made of old songs that didn't quite make it into the first album. What I heard is that it is just a stunt by the record company to make it look like they haven't broken up... but then again, I heard... might not be true. I definitely hope they are truly coming back.
