Honestly, this isn't a band I have heard on the radio. It should be on the radio, they deserve the recognition, but sadly they aren't on the radio. They are, however, basically everywhere else. I found out about them when I saw them live with Jimmy Eat World. My bud learned about them from an episode of House MD, and I know they've been in a few movies as well. But how come nobody knows about them?!? It isn't fair!!!
@wenoyol123 that thing is called a bow, and it doesn't harm the guitar at all. it's a cool technique. all you have to do is clean the rosin off of the strings when you're finished.
darn, it doesnt allow you to like it more than oncee. if u click the like button, the number remains the same if u liked it before. o well i click it anywayyyy
sounds alot like "Jeff Buckley" singer from Seattle, washington who vanished one night going for a swim, and no one saw him again!!!! PEOPLE if you love this band, look up Jeff buckley and get his music!!!!! same pure beautiful voice like this guy!!!! PLEASE listen to me, you wont regret it!!! JEFF BUCKLEY!!!!
They can make sings that will do very well mainstream wise but they also know how to make REAL music.
This is REAL music because it provokes something in you everytime when I listen to this I want to cry. They are very well at making a sing emotional. Heck I don't even know all the lyrics yet I can still get the feeling they are putting through.
@toonybee Yea, Andrew (the guitarist) uses the violin bow on a few of Civil Twilight's songs. This whole song and at the beginning of a couple others. Side note... Richard (the drummer) sits this song out.
Saw these guys open for Anberlin of all bands (I was working the venue) and they totally blew them away - got to meet them all and tell them how awesome they are.
@hpsfl Was it in downtown? Civil Twiligh tand Crash Kings opened for Anberlin?
Anberlin sucked in my opinion. sorry to all their fans readin this, but they were so crowded as a band, too many unneccessary members and ridiculously generic sounding. CT and Crask kings were really really good, first time hearing civil twilight. They were amazing
i agree with beatjunkie. its so sad what people have the nerve to call music nowadays. this song is simply breath taking and not many people know who they are.
Honestly you guys are simply amazing and inspiring,i am a musician that dreams of making music as brilliant as you guys and im south African! Keep on keeping on and God bless1
This is a great band, I just found them 5minutes ago and I can say im ording a cd soon. They are probably the next best thing after coldplay. Keep it up.
This is truly lovely and so haunting. For Ray2259 and others who apprciate this lovely piano music you may want to try albums from the Italian modern classical pianist Ludovico Einaudi. Although purely instrumetal Ludovico's work is so much in the style of this song. Many of Ludovico's songs have been used on TV and in adverts. I recommend to start with the album 'Le Onde' Anyway getting back to Civil Twilight, I am sure they will have an enourmous future ahead.
Already drowned in Einaudi.. Listen to him constantly. He's amazing.
I am a big fan of purely instrumental music as well from the likes of Einaudi to producers such as Bonobo and so on( I could list them all but clearly would run out of space lol)
I also stumbled upon this unbelievable band and so glad that I did. (was up all night one night because I had so much on my mind, channel surfed and saw the video for letters from the sky on mtv at around 4am and I was hooked. I LOVE this song!
This song brings tears in my eyes. Every time I hear it, it's new and fresh and pure. I hope these guys get far and remain untouched by the big companies who wish to Popularize every band on earth and earn large bucks from it. It's better to have less money and be honest inside than to sell your soul to devil.
Believe it or not, these guys are better live than packaged. And they are awesome packaged. I can't even relate their album as an album....it is one song. A song that starts on solid ground and seamlessly transports me throughout the universe of thought. No one title can truly do these guys justice. Not since Pink Floyd have I felt this kind of forceful subtlety.
<3 <3 this song is amazing, everytime i hear it. The singer has the most different and distuinguishable voice from any other's. It's so different and unique, and so refreshing. it's so crystal clear, and they are a great band. All of there songs are different and they really reach out and are very touching. I love letters from the sky. Very good band, one of my favorites.
