20 Years // The Civil Wars

[palmettocynic]

I always come back to this video to feel something.

At the end of 2024 and still bumping The Civil Wars.

Dear Civil Wars,

I miss you. I love you.

[snowbirdling]

When musicians make a lot of eye contact while singing I always feel like I'm watching something very intimate and private. It's so charged.

[NeverlandSystemKitten]

I miss this duo so much. They were so amazing together.

[Kieron-el]

Boy ! She really does have a beautiful voice!.

[jewelsegulahleahgreen]

Musical soul mates... Didn't know it was possible before I heard these two.

[whatwouldgordonramsaydo]

the way she looks at him.... ill never get over it

[OneAndOnlyEmEm]

i love how expressive she is when she sings

[fareeha]

I just came back to watch them look at each other because oh i am in love with that !

[JulieBirkeskov]

There's really no denying that their chemistry is insane! :)

[tiatrione]

In junior high/high school, I had a huge crush on this guy. He introduced me to The Civil Wars. I still think of him often, especially when I hear this song.

You can't have that sort of chemistry and not be in love with each other. They were deeply in love, knew it was wrong since they were both married....my God I miss them

[ataaah]

They sing together as if they are characters in a musical, telling a story with their bodies, not just the music. Very beautiful.

[grasscutter]

What a great song. What a great performance.

It occurred to me tonight that this song, written quite early on, is actually their epitaph. And perhaps a prediction...these two will likely talk again, but it will be a long, long time. The cord's not entirely cut, but it's been buried very deep indeed.

"there's a note, underneath your front door
that I wrote twenty years ago
yellow paper and a faded picture
and a secret, in an envelope.

there's no reasons, no excuses,
there's no secondhand alibis,
just some black ink on some blue lines
and a shadow you won't recognize.

in the meantime, I'll be waiting,
twenty years and twenty more,
I'll be praying for redemption,
and your note underneath my door"

[maromishtey]

Again here in 2019...There is so much intensity in their chemistry.... Like the way she looks at him show the full level of love she is so intense... And the way he looks back that's so adorable ... They look great together... Wish they were still together... miss their music 😢

[DixieChickd]

I want them back... watching this video makes me feel like crying because I remember going to see them and all the giddy-ness and just standing in awe at them. I would give anything to feel that again...

I've heard and seen a lot of music in my life! 300s if not more  of show from R&B, punk, hair bands classical and opera. I just love music. I prefer to listen to people who do their own works, which is what drew me to Joy and John . This is some of the most beautiful work ever composed! Here's food for thought for all those who purpose romantic connection. In all likely hood they in the physical world! They remained true to there respected mates Joy had a baby .   john had children of his own, But in spiritual world John and Joy's soul connected in a way so few people do and dream off. Or else this music couldn't have touch so many including their selves. and that is what's undeniable.
