[bennettskb555]

It does get much better than this......fantastic

[bridgeplatepuller]

I'm glad I can say that I'm NOT a person who's missed what these two have shared with us. Thanks.

[brc028]

does anyone know what this song is about

[fergieferg316]

why cant they be married?:(

the looks they give eachother are just ..<3

[sunrays77]

stunning.

[MyAnOnDrEaM]

the look he gives her at 2:25 is so sincere

[luvsalot1018]

For this group,a dislike button should be illegal!like if you agree!

[DaedalDuende]

Best 3 minutes and 28 seconds of MY LIFE.

[bakerdecks22]

These two are special and have amazing heart behind there music. This is music. This is what it's supposed to look like. I am blown away. Truly amazing.

[parkershawn0304]

I seen this two in San Francisco in June Of last year. I fell in love with that sound and watching Joy do her little dance to every song they played. She was so cute! You haven't seen them live you must. They really make you feel like your old friends they have known for years. Great duo!

[MrMouchel]

Aint they just BRILL...

[bclion56]

@PMADqueen92 doubt it, they're both married and she's preggo

[buddha4242]

Joy Williams is absolutely gorgeous

[igotanswers101]

they are so real

[jonman45]

i have definitly viewed this video 217, 544 times!!:P

[TakeMeToTheWaters]

@spicyninjaicom : Ha I would suppose he does look similar to johnny depp :p But the real johnny depp actually has sang and played guitar in a band before, he's magnificent :) 3

[RandomNacho24]

11 people just got pissed off cause they cant go out with joy williams

[muffinsrock54]

11 people will get raped tonight...by my dog

[KirstyDewar]

One word... Wow!

[MsArtisticangel]

I watched the grammies and enjoyed the show, but theirs is the only performance I REMEMBER from it because it was soooooo compelling. Keep making REAL music for real music lovers!!!

[iHEARTjerryLewis]

I can't get enough of The Civil Wars! The beauty their voices make when joined together makes me want to laugh and to cry all at once! i love these two! You can see the great chemistry they have with eachother...its too bad they are both married...they would make an adorable couple.

[jonman45]

now THIS is music in this day and age!!!! goooooooooddddd griiieeeeffff amazing!!!perfect chemistry if I ever saw it!! the way their voices work together is spottttt onnnnnn PERFECT!

[spicyninjaicom]

i never knew johnny depp sings :P

[uhohalishaaa]

This is one of the most breath-taking performances I've ever seen. The talent that they both have is so fantastic. Singing with a guitar, in the middle of the woods? You don't get any more raw than that. And the product? Simply stunning. I cannot get enough of The Civil Wars.

[musiclover11662]

you know when its great music when they can sound amazing without disgusting autotune,this is real and true talent.

[ryan473]

when i first saw this guy i thought he was jack white. i've decided he looks like jack white and johnny depp were genetically fused.

[abstractswirls]

I literally can't stop watching and listening to this video. this song is enchanting. they are enchanting

[AwakeNsleepy]

I CANT GET ENOUGH!! All their releases should be live recorded albums

[ellen19541]

they are great together

[darkidol6921]

i can feel the tension between them too, they feel something for each other.

[geeeknik]

I like the way they are intimate in their videos, like its just a recording session and they are just feeding off each other, almost candid.

[MissMusicartist]

They need to pair up with Jack and Meg from the White Stripes. I think that'd be pretty sweet.

[1chrissypoo]

I love them but i can never hear half of what they are saying.

[TheTommyTaylor]

@1chrissypoo You need better speakers because their vocals are crystal clear for me. Altec Lansing do decent PC speakers.

[SurrahJean]

This moment they created is so magical in every way. I just want to fall into my computer screen.

[abstractswirls]

this duet blows me away. I adore this kind of music simplicity and pureness. so organic and real. what music is truly about

[boxxx010]

she is so frickin beautiful!

[leftaround]

makes me want to be in love.

[sparklebarbie100]

so pretty

[a06araym1]

You can love someone and still be there friend. Thats what siblings have and I think these guys love each other but not in a romantic way.

[TheSmokinApples]

modern day johnny and june

[tyronehuff]

if I didn't already know they were married to other people, I would think there's something between the two. from about 1:30-1:50, it looks like Joy is watching her kid take it's first steps, and as a musician I can relate to feeling that way about your music. a song taking shape can be something to be proud of, and you can see in all of their performances how much they put into their songs.

[eathannahx]

This song makes my knees weak, so beautiful

[CarolinaTitan10]

8 people are idiots.

[li3s69]

@CarolinaTitan10  ..make that 10

[igotanswers101]

@CarolinaTitan10 11 people

[luvsalot1018]

@igotanswers101  12 people are idiots

[Beatlebella49]

@CarolinaTitan10 now there are 12 =(

[HPNWV]

Just discoverd this group today... exactly one year after Barton Hollow was released! What a beautiful sound... Love them!!!

[kwood320]

yeah to be honest I feel like most of the chemistry is from her to him... but I mean look and listen to the man, he's a God. For the record, completely hetero (soon to be married to a female) male.

[dancingblondie]

This is by far the most intimate-feeling scene I've ever seen - in real life or in a movie. It's a privilege to be able to share this moment of beauty with them.

[runol34]

Your grandfather

[TwoHighways]

haven't been this excited about a musical artist since discovering Alison Krauss

[XxiexodusxX]

Makes your soul strong

[sophiejaycullen]

This is just purely beautiful, two talented people who put so much passion into their music and have such a great bond, so beautiful.

[guitxmaster11]

wow awesome :O i didnt know that capitain Jack Sparrow was as talented ;)

[rg055]

Damn now I have to admit Taylor Swift has good taste in music.

[lavanderUBercupcake2]

They are so talented! Got to love them.

[MrRandyrugar19]

If Jonny Depp and Jack White had a boy it would be this dude...

[HayleyMichellex3]

@MrRandyrugar19 Throw russle brand in there somewhere...

[lovejumprope4]

i love how close they are when they sing together! its so intimate, it doesn't mean that they are like intimately in love or anything just wow

[taydertot3111]

the way he looks at her <3

[katwalker8]

Just saw them in Louisville Friday. Thay have a great rapport-they were very funny together. It is very clear that they LOVE to sing and are having a great time. It's so refreshing to see and hear such simple, yet beautiful music- no back-up dancers, jumbo video screens, or rap!

[Nobleone7777]

They make the song like it should be and that is with feeling. Can't imatate it. Has to come from the heart. God Bless

[silverasian]

This song is so blissfully perfect.

[SkiDoo55565]

I tremble every time that they make eye contact, which is quite a bit.

[dothedrew93]

6 people don't know what real music is

[AthenaBurns2]

she's more beautiful than him

[diamondmusic2]

i love how much they get into the music :)

[okayTokay1991]

A lot of the looks they have are to make contact for the music. They have to know what vowels each other takes within each word because that's what makes them so significant in their harmony.

[superbford]

Love her voice... his is ok... works with hers well though.. but she's the singing talent... his guitar tone and playing is great... not much energy in this song though..

[kenra147]

come ON guys... we don't need to make assumptions about how they feel about one another... leave their personal lives alone! we're just here to listen to the music(:

[BMoney985]

Yeah, Joy is Beautiful and has an amazing voice. The Civil Wars is Awesome! Keep it up!

[nannyfer01]

I loved this song

[Xevamir]

Bah, I've been fooled. I thought they were married. :(

[jovana71194]

Anyone else think its really weird how she stares at him when they sing?? great song though lol

[jax76]

Love this song..... Very Robert Hunter-esque in the song writing.

[AdaytoRemember72]

Honestly thought it was Johnny Depp for a second there.. c:

[26lovers26]

This is incredibly beautiful. Just sayin.

[corro3]

has anyone else noticed the snow flakes on the video player thing?

[mrstuchawan]

I lucked up and got tickets to their sold out show at the GPAC yesterday. Pretty stoked!

[idahocharley]

Making music is making love. I visit my guitar every day- but so far no affair! Let them make love on stage and let us enjoy their passion. They dance on our hearts and make love to us all.

[Jennythefer]

I had to pause halfway through...... my heart literally exploded. Perfection in every way.

[TheAerochick13]

Honestly, it almost seems like John Paul's trying to hold in laughter while Joy's inching closer to him in a seemingly drunken manner (I know she isn't drunk, her performance persona just gives off that vibe). I'd be having trouble keeping a straight face if I were in that situation.

[stitcher78]

SIX PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD SUCK.

[sweetanddivinefoo]

I can watch them for hours they're incredible, I agree with the top comment it's pure beauty.

[DanRegueira]

Holy. Fuck.

[brothertimbob]

To you women who wish your husband looked at you like that...when was the last time you did something beautifully intoxicating around your husband? The reason so many men are in love with this woman is not because she is sexy or physically drop dead gorgeous... it is because she is purely captivating when she sings.

[xcharlieeebates]

never knew jack sparrow could sing that well!

[LightWthoutTheStatic]

It's true that there's an intensity between them, but it's not necessarily love eyes. I see their musical minds whirring, thinking about pitches, reacting to sounds, forming beauty together the way friendships ought to be. Beauty isn't always romantic love.

[BenFerg100]

@LightWthoutTheStatic very very well said

[chinashopmusic]

@LightWthoutTheStatic I think you nailed it. Physical love is overrated anyway in my opinion. Intense feelings, beauty, love, these two seem highly evolved.

[Snackay]

@chinashopmusic You are implying that evolving is a process of improving, but it is only adaptation.

[Xevamir]

@LightWthoutTheStatic I think the fact that they're married would have something to do with the way they look at each other. If you've ever sang a duet with a person that you love then you'd understand.

[LightWthoutTheStatic]

@Xevamir They're not married to each other.

[Xevamir]

@LightWthoutTheStatic Duh. Look at the comment I made below...

[LightWthoutTheStatic]

@Xevamir ah, sry missed that. All I was seeing was what came through my email.

[Snackay]

@LightWthoutTheStatic They are not thinking about pitches. Music is emotion and motion, if you want thoughts then read a book.

[LightWthoutTheStatic]

@Snackay Well I'm going to guess you're not a vocalist. You do have to think through sounds. Good luck singing without a brain. Just "emotion and motion" is a moody child. Music is communication with a form, and emotion is important. The thing is, people who are that good at music don't think heavily. They think quickly and naturally. They feel and they think.

[Snackay]

@LightWthoutTheStatic You have no idea what they are experiencing. You are clearly just making up nonsense.

[LightWthoutTheStatic]

@Snackay Hahaha what a silly thing to say on youtube.

[jrdanlee63]

@LightWthoutTheStatic Totally true. They have an amazing rapport that some people just don't get. Friendship is a seperate love, that is beauty of its own!

[535echo]

@LightWthoutTheStatic So true and often romance kills a beautiful friendship.

[clemmyjohnson]

@LightWthoutTheStatic I agree, although I would not be surprised if one day they got together. I think at the moment they are just well teamed musicians.

[ThomazChamberlain]

@clemmyjohnson they're both married to different people

[ThomazChamberlain]

@LightWthoutTheStatic I'm fairly sure they're both separately married too!

[dvrman]

@LightWthoutTheStatic For guys it is... just saying...

[LightWthoutTheStatic]

@dvrman I AM a guy... and I disagree.

[sarapngxueyunn]

johnny!

[LightWthoutTheStatic]

@sarapngxueyunn Not johnny.

[Geo1686]

Beautiful song, beautiful harmony 

[TheRealDannyE]

How do I put this on loop, Youtube? Please make a button for it... if for no other song than this.

[nerd55024]

I didn't know Johnny Depp played guitar! Haha jk but seriously he looks like Johnny Depp

[PunkDollie10]

they have amazing chemistry when they perform. it's like watching magic.

[paralite22]

i sit and watch all their videos. and watching them two together is amazing. there is a such thing as soulmates. then theres MUSICAL soulmates. just listen and hear the way the sound rings in your ears. artists can only dream of finding a vocal match like these two.

[krgrimm]

Why are people even caring or speculating about their relationship? It's none of our business! What does matter is that their music is inspiring, amazing, beautiful and we are so very lucky to hear it!

[Ariceli86]

I wish my husband looked at me theway he does to her. Yeah and i know that they are not a couple. By the way does anybody know where i could get the lyrics to this song??????? I want them so bad ( the lyrics ):) Ps. I think its so funny how people think that John Paul White is Johnny Depp. Its clear that this man is way hotter!! LOL- JK

[StepOutAgain]

@Ariceli86 hmm have you tried google? or their website?? i think they have a free download of the digital booklet of the album

[AndyReidYeo]

@StepOutAgain also some internet husbands..

[JesusisLord23175]

@Ariceli86 I wish my husband looked at me like that too :(

[jesaja]

@Ariceli86 I'd imagine if you bought the album, it would include the lyric booklet.

[mann231209]

Very well

[xVenomousxDreamsx]

I love them. they're amazing! :')

[loolabelle22]

Hope these two are together! :)

[JDfanboy1]

I don't care if they've done it or not. If they're married or if they aren't.

What matters is what we see. Its a beautiful chemistry that tells a story on its own without behind the scenes gossip nonsense. I personally hope they stick around for a long time cause their music is simply breath-taking

[2ilovemyjmp]

They are amazing together. I have to admit, I have wondered if there wasn't more there than musical chemistry. I already know that they are both married and I know she is a christain. I used to listen to her solo stuff. Being a christian does not mean she won't have an affair. I do not hope or wish this for them. If we care for them, I say we keep them in our prayers. I am sure they know people have questioned this whole thing. I wonder what their response has been.

[Musicmonk84]

Johnny Depp is an awesome singer!

[allisonmellsworth]

@StepOutAgain Just watch "Country Strong" and you'll see what I mean.

[allisonmellsworth]

I'm married. Believe me there is way too much intimacy between these two. They're playing with fire, and if they haven't gotten burned already they will if they don't back off.

[StepOutAgain]

@allisonmellsworth woman please! i think they know what they're getting into, doing it for the music. joy is married and her husband works as her manager or something, they travel together everywhere. plus, she's a christian, i'm sure that counts for something.

[paulyoonmusic]

@StepOutAgain woman please!!! hahaha i love that!

[Theodoralau]

@allisonmellsworth I agree that there is a lot of intense chemistry between them. But it's not for us to judge. As straightforward as that.

[crazylibster]

@allisonmellsworth Plus, Joy's husband {Nate} is their manager....he's with them EVERYWHERE they go - has even done the meet and greets with them at the last 2 shows I was at. Clearly you've never sung with someone...there's something with music that connects people. But that doesn't mean they cross the line and jeopardize their marriages. If you'd ever talked or seen these two in person {together} when they're not performing you'd "get it".

[MusicophiIe]

@allisonmellsworth You may be married, but you're clearly not a musician. These two are in love...with the music. She looks at him because he is giving her the cue of when to come in..that's why their harmonies blend so well. It's not about being married or Christian, it's the perfect way to blend voices and they are phenomenal at it.

[CompassRose21]

@MusicophiIe right! i have always thought that. its not a crime to be have a crative/music soulmate like someone said. i personally think everyone should have someone they connect to on a creative level.

[ucameinwthebreeze]

@allisonmellsworth , Im pretty sure her husband is the one who introduced them and thought it would be a great idea for them to work together considering how both incredibly talented they are.

[theprettiestbaglady]

@ucameinwthebreeze they met at a music workshop, randomly.

[theprettiestbaglady]

@allisonmellsworth i couldn't agree MORE!! Christian or not, anyone is suspect to temptation!

[JesusisLord23175]

@allisonmellsworth I agree with you, if my husband was that close to another woman, I would be so nerveous!

[ttreebuff]

@allisonmellsworth who cares they sing so beautifully togeather they can do whateva the hell they like an id wish them well

[ttreebuff]

@allisonmellsworth in any case its none of yr damn business

[luckystar007]

@allisonmellsworth Having musical chemistry is not infidelity. This is no different than two actors playing romantic leads and having great interactions with each other.

[Snackay]

@allisonmellsworth Marriage clearly does not mean intimacy. There are plenty of married people who barely speak to each other. Neither is marriag eany kind of achievement or qualification for insight.

[HannahNoelleMusic555]

@allisonmellsworth stfu. It's not your place to judge the "intimacy" between them. If you like the music cool, enjoy it. But stop acting like it's your place to stick your hands in their personal lives. God.

[Edricofifrit]

He's tapped that ass. Guaranteed. I don't care if they're married, or if they're nuns, priests, or monks. He's hit it.

[KittenOnWheels]

@Edricofifrit I agree. it upsets me, but i agree.

his poor wife.

[Edricofifrit]

He's tapped that ass. Guaranteed.

[evilthesaurus]

looks like jack sparrow

[allKILLIAN]

I always feel like when they sing that they both know something that no one else does...like an inside joke or something! :-p

[mlp0284]

their harmonies make sweet, sweet love to one another



[coyotestory]

Thank you for this amazing music. Civil War had became one of favorite voices of music.

[AmethystDarkheart]

Aaaaahhhhhhh, why do they have to be married to other people, they would make such a great couple.

i can't stop listening to this song, its so peaceful.

[daver8228]

@Noogers18 Sorry to disappoint you but they are both happily married to other people. They are just connecting on a purely spiritual/musical level.

[DustInTheWind54]

Spiritual Alchemy.....

[Noogers18]

this is.. captivating. the sound, their voice, the fact that that man looks a great deal like johnny depp.. <3 overall, delightful. i couldn't listen to this for days on end.

And just watching how they look at each other when they sing. when i'm in love, i hope we'll look at each other with those eyes.

[bandikut293]

jack sparrow captain! I will follow you!! ♥♥

[oryantezuka]

I just... no words.

[ummyeah999]

what an amazing song; 2:52 onward especially, sends shivers down my back (:

[ixneedxthis]

i don't even know how to explain how much i love her voice. <3

[oldmuscle55]

That is just awsome. I wish that I could spell better, I could write so much about the strength and power they have in their voices and their eyes and stuff.

I am truly a big fan of these two..

[VeneficousM]

I love you guys!!!! :)

[allydandy16]

I'm not sure why they only have a like button here! I NEED a LOVE button!

[rosieandaly]

if these two are not soulmates then they are indeed musical soulmates! they make such beautiful music together. 

[DanielaSings]

Exchanging kisses through song. Never seen anything quite as intimate as these two.
