[portisheadjovi]

im trying to figure out a way of saying this song is freaking loverly without feeling a lil weird.. but honeslty these two are great together

[AbsurdityofExistence]

:NOW KISS:



[Rockerchikk1221]

Anyone else think this song is WAY sexier than anything Lady Gaga or Rihanna have written? ;D

[kissestochrisbrown]

Together they sound like angels<3

[tennisbumojai]

I'm so glad we got to see these guys at the Lobero in Santa Barbara.

You know when you are seeing something unique and magnificent.

[leetrunghoo]

oh man i love this performance so much!!

Are they in love each other? :D

[ajemma78]

@leetrunghoo Nope. They are both married...to other people. Great Chemistry though!

[ronnieotts]

When I am watching their videos, I kind of feel like the awkward third party in a three way.

Sometimes I do end up in the corner crying.

These guys are awesome!



[mateja1312]

they actually enjoy in music I LOVE IT

[flipchick88]

I seriously cannot get enough outta this song! The Civil Wars are so good live!

[ThePHawieze]

JP White. Married??? If you are , My heart is broken

[PeachSweetxo]

Dear Lord I'm in love with him!

[PeachSweetxo]

I love you John your -everything awsome, Joy your beautiful; P.S John Paul White will you marry me

[MegaLaceyy101]

Joy looks like shes having an orgasm whenever she sings.,

[PeachSweetxo]

@MegaLaceyy101 You are sooooooooooo right

[ShaneAlexanderArt]

I'm sorry, any girl could sing with JPW and he would make them sound good.

[cclynn1995]

You know when you see something so beautiful it makes you want to just die? I Get that feeling every time I hear them sing.

[lostjuly12]

They both have amazing voices.

[anillmindissick]

Aren't they both married to different people?

[Proverber]

It's nice to know that, despite all of the trash being called music out there, there are still talented musicians making music like this.

[kai7125]

He looks like Johnny Depp. *_*

[Loucandoit]

This really makes me cry. Their connection is too beautiful. 

[sderiani]

I LOVE this song and LOVE this performance! Their chemistry is amazing!!! The 10ppl. Who "disliked" this have no taste in what talent really is. The Civil Wars is one of the best duos/bands out there!!! MORE music please!

[ikheetjason]

Art.

[PurpleBuddhatheband]

there voices work so well together, amazing!

[zirnheltdan]

That smile is contagious! 

[EvangelistaMa]

Just love how John sings "favorite", opening his mouth slowly. They are gorgeous!

[musiclover11662]

i love how they sing like nobodies watching :)

[dylanjonesNUCKA]

i literally can't stop pressing replay.

[cubistblues]

@Commentary1984 They're both married. To different people..

[davidrainz1963]

Perfect mix of vocals. I would have to agree with sweetygirl, this bands breakup would be a fuckin tragedy. they are so badass

[Commentary1984]

she's cute...but why does she have to sing out of the side of her mouth? it's kind of creepy, a little bit.

[QuirkyChik]

you can't really compare their voices.. hows John gonna sound like Joy ?! he has an equally beautiful voice :)

[Owliganka]

Wow I actually didn't know Johnny Depp was such a good singer.

[hshue2013]

I'm in love with this song and their voices together is beautiful

[insco26]

You're Fabulous , the music rocks, and complicity is endearing! I could listen for hours...

[Smile4TheVid]

She reminds me of Christina Perri... don't know why...

[MizEllezee]

@Smile4TheVid turn that around..:) check out Perri's cover of Poison & Wine. You. Will. LOVE it :)

[Smile4TheVid]

@MizEllezee Where? ;)

[ChristineAlessandria]

They're my favorite song. :)

[AMBROSIAlovefulify]

I'm in love. :)

[nanettestore]

Just fantastic

[DiLLyDaLLyHo]

Does this song make anyone else think of killer queen? Maybe a little vague but I can definitely hear it.

[jrfunkygibbon]

@DiLLyDaLLyHo Extraordinarily nice!

[rambo6699]

@sophiejaycullen You mean John White? Jack White was in another duo ;)

[chopperharris100]

You guys spend far too much time looking at him and not enough looking at her

[cubistblues]

There's absolutely no way they will both remain happily married if they keep this gig going..

[Commentary1984]

@cubistblues they're not married

[YoNaBuTt]

at 1:50 i thought he was gonna plant one on her lol

[trentdarby126]

Their harmonies are so unbelievably tight! incredible! Im in awe!

[chipkyra]

Love love love it! I'm thinking Sirius Black, in a good way.

[astralmoses]

I thought they were going to makeout at least three times during the song.

[kycountrygirl0]

@astralmoses crazy isn't it, the looks they give each other make you smile from ear to ear cause it looks like they are so in love, but they are both married to other people!!

[SingerSamantha]

@astralmoses @1:46 loll

[cbritton1876]

Their voices dance with each other perfectly. This is what harmony should sound like. Both voice are incredible. The physical chemistry is out of this world. I could only wish I could get a married woman to look at me the way she looks at John. By far one of the most intrigueing duo's out there today.

[tanjida2008]

John Paul: Ruggedly handsome, great voice.

Joy Williams: Absolutely beautiful, haunting gorgeous vocals.

I know they're happily married to different people, but if they looked back on these videos...even they wouldn't be able to deny the amount of chemistry they have.

[xtinaaasaur]

when will you come to socal?! T___T

[anthonydisney]

There both such amazing singers that I can't figure which one I like the best?!?!

[nailswood]

Her voice makes me think of Grey DeLisle, I mean it as a compliment. Finally, someone who could make me listen to country radio again (but they'll never put this on the radio: too intelligent and hip.)

[amandanaina]

I fell in love with this song so I heard. What a wonderful duet!

[13sweetygirl]

Everyone says they like Joy's voice more than John's, I like them both together and would be devastated if this band ever broke up. Just saying.

[karpaccho]

@13sweetygirl I like John's more. In general I like both of them.But I wish to have more of his voice presence.

[13sweetygirl]

@karpaccho I also like John's voice more (shh, don't tell :3)

I know of one certain song by them where he sings quite a bit, it's "I've Got This Friend" It's my favorite song by them :)

[dylanjonesNUCKA]

@13sweetygirl . . . so would they... they are married.

[13sweetygirl]

@dylanjonesNUCKA No...they're not. Obviously you don't know much about this band if you're saying they're married.

[YALEQUEEN]

@13sweetygirl Well, they both ar married....just not to each other.

[13sweetygirl]

@YALEQUEEN That's what I meant when I said that. lmaooo I know that they're married :3

[michael1234144]

@13sweetygirl don't get me started!

[Tejoz]

@13sweetygirl I have to admit the first time I see John I thought it was Johnny Deep hahaha and reading that msg somehow in my brain I start to compare Johnny's voice with John and I was thinking really, then I come in to my senses and read it again, then ouuuuu hahaha Joy!

[CassMontez]

@13sweetygirl Really? Her voice is beautiful but I'm absolutely in love with his.

[13sweetygirl]

@CassMontez I like them together :) (but to completely honest, I love John's voice a little bit more than Joy's) :3

[lcboo9]

so effortless and amazing.... this is absolutely brilliant....

[DelWhite]

I like Joy William's solo stuff a lot better. These two are ok, but Joy's solo work was a lot more powerful. Singing with someone else seems to make her restrain her voice a lot more. Understandable, just not that great.

[actingwithdrama95]

Yes! I found someone who can live up to Vanessa Carlton!

[Celestial65]

I think bezzarguy must know Joy...she broke his heart maybe?

[soccergurl125]

the way they look at each other... <3

[eroberegan]

Krugman sent me here. Nice.

[judyginger]

Carrie Rodriguez would mix TERRIBLY with his voice. Hers is too harsh.

[luckyjay017]

S.O.B.... Completely stunned, Damn...

[zirnheltdan]

I wish I could just find someone with that kind of smile. :)

[texasrangablizz]

Love this song.

[bezzarguy]

The more i hear her , the more convinced i am she just can't sing. That's too bad, because they have some good songs.Her vocal histrionics ruin them.

[r4cer261]

@bezzarguy

Aye you having a laugh? I think her doing that suits the songs,and even if it doesn't,that still doesn't mean she's a bad singer as such.Listen to them do Barton Hollow on Jules Holland live. Her voice is something else.

[bezzarguy]

@r4cer261 It is a hoot, singing louder, and louder, doesn't make you a good singer, just annoying. And that's too bad, since they have such fine songs. Let someone besides her sing them. You should ck out Carrie Rodriguez.

[GabbiHeyes]

@bezzarguy- You are nuts if you don't think her voice is amazing!

[bezzarguy]

@GabbiHeyes I gave her another listen, sorry, she's average at best.

[jmacie]

@bezzarguy we get it, you've got it for Carrie Rodriguez.

[bezzarguy]

@jmacie i do :-) i think Rodriguez is a major talent. The girl in Civil War's isn't that bad, she's O.K., i just don't think she does justice to the excellent songs.

[jmacie]

Well, as you like, I've played music for 45 years. I have not been as impacted by any artists, since Stevie Wonder in the '70's, as I have by The Civil Wars. I love Joy Williams' voice, especially with John Paul White's voice. They're Grammy Nominated, twice. There's really no reason to contrast vocalists, it's Art.

[bezzarguy]

@jmacie I wouldn't admit to 45 yrs, ;-) but i've been playing guitar since i was 9, which is...oh hell,45 yrs ago. We agree that Stevie is a genius and Joni too i might add. I wasn't contrasting as you said, but using Carrie ( or Amanda Shires) as examples of someone who is a better singer. It's all subjective and a matter of taste anyway, i get it, you love Joy

[Celestial65]

@jmacie Or he represents Ms. Rodriguez.

[jmacie]

@Celestial65 Art's detractors come fast and furious these days, you don't need a degree to criticize. I'm not sure how artists could ever criticize other artists as it opens them to criticism. I take unnecessary criticism of The Civil Wars personally, as I know the ART they create is different. I hope The Civil Wars fulfill their hearts desires, and share some of their future with us!

[Celestial65]

@jmacie I agree with you whole-heartedly. I find it irritating to see people share unsolicited negative criticism, especially of such beautiful work. Carrie Rodriguez is great, John Paul White is great, and so is Joy Williams. Anyone that disagrees, and so openly, should be up for a debate, especially since most of the people on this page are fans...why else would you listen?

[greggdpethers]

this is brilliant. i love it!

[tinyflappingcod151]

You guys always make me smile. Lovely melodies and beautiful voices. Thank you for the music :)

[Vanmaiden917]

Look up 'Heath Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'. You can't tell me they don't look alike.

[malindamoore8]

I love how her voice is slightly sexual but its beautiful. His voice haunting that makes every hair stand up. There perfect togeather musically. Perfect.

[bellabeti1]

Oh Dear, never saw you coming, Oh my, look what you have done. You're my favourite song, always on the tip of my tongue.

[rkfan100]

They should release a live version of their album. Something about their sound live appeals to me more than the studio version.

[Brokoro]

THAT is the most LACK LUSTER crowd I've ever seen for this band!!! FCKIN AYE

And I just went and saw them in Los Angeles last week and the whole place was sold out, and loud as hell singing along with each song. This crowd could barely afford to "Wooo" and clap. Wtf crowd!

[jimmyski174]

@Brokoro It's in a small private studio. There is most likely not a huge crowd in there.

[TheDantesque]

You are my favourite song

Always on the tip of my tongue..Joy

[LadyGadabout]

if you dont look at them, it's amazing!

The silly on stage swooning spoils it a bit for me.

[brentwhitemusic]

4 people are dumb.

[mikewallace1987]

marry me joy!

[brifranc14242]

Oh my God, we f*cking get it. He looks like Johnny Depp. Do we need to point it out on EVERY video?

[Commentary1984]

@brifranc14242 mmmmmmmmm JOHNNY DEPP!

[dukesdelightsfan]

Dear God, this year I am most Thankful for my family's health and yes, the amazing blessing of THE CIVIL WARS! If not too much, please let me have them come over for Thanksgiving Dinner or just a lil pie later in the day. No need to bring a thing oh, well except for themselves and the G TAR of course

[dukesdelightsfan]

The tune has been permanently sealed in my brain like concrete complete with rebar - I could leave my nice paying secure desk job to sing like this all day every day but since I can't sing - I could leave my nice paying indoor secure desk job to pick up trash in the cold, rain, blazing heat, as long as I could hear these two sing

[dukesdelightsfan]

The tune has been permanently sealed in my brain like concrete complete with rebar

[SKIN4444]

Nice!

[AryannaOrsino18]

omg omg omg omg

my fav. song ever :)))))))))

[Noblesavage26]

Can they please just fuck?

[latieplolo]

It's like they just come alive when they walk on stage... magical. :)

[SammySaysSo]

johnny depp circa benny (with facial hair) and joon. love it

[ummyeah999]

this song. is just. too much to handle. wow. WOW.

[ilovecookies4318]

CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW CAN ROCK A GUITAR!! :O haha

[MARIQUITTA44]

magical.....everytime they open their mouths

[ILU224]

[notanormalmusiclover]

[564halil]

net bi güzellik

[Sam7Art7Freak]

I love how John Paul makes weird faces while he's singing to give it more of an effect in sound! ^_^ my wonderful Hector does the same thing when were singing this together! <3 <3 <3 love this song to death!

[udidthistomecesar]

@JGonz858 My thoughts exactly hahaha

[535echo]

Where's the I freakin LOVE this song button???

[nagromselrach]

I know the history but .....every vid I see it looks like they are on the verg of having sex.

[r4cer261]

@nagromselrach

Can you blame him,she is PAINFULLY sexy,then she sings and i turn to mush.holy fuck.

[bubblesnutter]

In a league of their own ... just amazing!!

[TheLastZombie]

Sooooooo beautiful

[QC1theonly1]

They both can sing AND they make beautiful music together

[monkazoo24]

SHe sounds like she's making love to the song when she sings.....simply beautiful

[amysue3076]

Hopefully my head is out of the ether now, whatever it was is still on the tip of my tongue!

[bubbaj7396]

her voice is freaking gorgeous.

[foxxygurl620]

here is two people who should never have their voices "doctored" in a studio. Why try to fix what isn't broken?? Amazing!

[FattyMcFatpantss]

I've literally listened to this song for 2 days straight. I CANNOT get enough. :) So beautiful and the sounds are perfect

[angdej1234]

i thought i was the only one tht thought tht he looked like johnny depp aha

[tiffemmons]

What a cute couple. Keep making music you guys are amazing.

[Scumbagization]

he reminds me of Jeff Buckley

[JessWicked]

Ear candy, yus.

[JGonz858]

Is it me, or does it look like Johnny Depp is singing with some hot girl he found?

[nextdeath12]

@JGonz858

Well, I mean, Johnny Depp was a musician before he got into acting. So maybe it is Johnny just getting back to his roots! I mean, it's clearly not, but why not?

[elberraco89]

@JGonz858 dude! so I'm not the only one that thinks he looks ALOT like johnny depp.

[theeAlixo]

This sounds awesome

[BrysonFunk]

I've been listining to this band for awile now and am totally in love with the harmonys....they are so great

[callmeishmel]

Every instance I have seen this duo singing live they look like the mere act of blending together in song has put them into a state of ecstasy and bliss so high creating a glow that falls magically and mesmerizingly through the dappled canopy of trees of harmony. Just wow

[Koldfusion234]

He better not be fucking her...shes mine

[blues917]

@Koldfusion234 ... Am sure he's not. In fact, I believe they had just met at this club. Luckily, it happened to be Karaoke Night. (c;

[harmonythouart]

John Paul White also has a few really awesome songs before he got with her as well... Alien is my favorite.

[shoreandsea]

@harmonythouart I think I prefer September

[themariankahale]

deaf and blind haha

[themariankahale]

two dislikes? so two deaf people watched this video?

[moon11media]

You guys know that Joy Williams did a lot of soundtracks for Greys Anatomy? She did a lot of different songs solo, before she met John Paul White. Just type in Joy Williams, you'll see a few songs by her.

[ryansuite8]

she is always so happy, smilin having a good time. voice is so sexy. dude looks like the depp. sweet music to my ears

[Coppretta57]

John Paul's timing is amazing, is it me, or are they getting better exponentially?

[Coppretta57]

Proof that music is Not Dead. I hope they realize how much happiness they make!

[dbthetruth25]

This is literally perfection...

[dbthetruth25]

Joy williams is a gorgeous person, but her voice makes her SOOO much more beautiful. and John is one talented man.

[sombrerosrule]

john Paul White looks like a mix of Johnny Depp and Jack White. The names even match!!!!!

[BrandtAlexander]

omg her voice is so hot

[kikilyla123]

i love there sound. you can see the passion they have for there music.

[Bowuhchikawowwow]

This song is so incredible. And they sing it amazingly. I'm so jealous. My best friend and I are going to work on a cover, but I know my singing won't even compare to hers!

[oso77373]

I am just so amazed by this song, so perfect and beautiful

[djakesnaych]

cool!



[ORANGEPARSON]

WOW!!
