The Civil Wars - The Violet Hour

[WifeOfAHero86]

I'm a new fan of theirs, due to their awesome performance at the Grammys!

[sawyerliz37]

This sounds like a song they should play in The Hunger Games movie. Haunting yet calming at the same time.

[wolfofthefayth]

@1bprint You're welcome :) I just thought that since I loved it so much, I should share the love, right?

[wolfofthefayth]

Step 1.) open a new tab

Step 2.) look up rainy mood on YouTube

Step 3.) play the first video

Step 4.) play this video at the same time in the original tab

Step 5.) enjoy :D

[1bprint]

@wolfofthefayth You just made my day

[dandifiedful]

I'm so addicted.

[mattastic0]

guitar tabs...? anyone know where ?

[live4pens87]

I love this song so much. I actually play cello. And I was so in love with the cello part in this song that I actually arranged it onto sheet music. :) Now I can play the violet hour wherever I go. :)

[randomrocketeer]

@live4pens87 Could you by any chance share the sheet music? Also: Cellist High Five!

[MrsTrishaSmith]

This is my cry to my daughter. I miss her so very much. She moved to another state far away with her husband and little ones. My heart is broken. I just wasn't made to live without my family. :{

[PokeyRagDoll]

Absolutely love this album! I never buy CDs anymore, but I had to go out and get this one!

[songerfile]

Even without lyrics they can speak to my soul!

[BridieTheHipster]

I got chills from this. Amazing.

[kellywells11]

Thanks for uploading the album. :D

[michelle092893]

Has this ever had lyrics? If it ain't, I'll put one.

[NathanielPx]

I love how this is completely instrumental and yet I can still get a story from it <3 I love The Civil Wars! <3

[TheLizing]

...there like some strange form of the white stripes and Adele squished with some country....woah. :yaoming:

[RetroKimmie]

i wish this song was longer...

[DakotaSagee]

Like if you think this should be in the upcoming Hunger Games movie.

[MsMyMy98]

the 4 ppl who disliked this need to get their hearing checked

[Xbinx06]

i love the piano



[Xbinx06]

when i learn to play the piano i will play this song so many times that i could do it with my eyes close

[Agarnetrose]

I see...dancing tree limbs in the wind. The warm summer sun peeking through the vibrant leaves after a rain storm. Glistening rain drops on the petals of a delicate rose. I love music that sets your imagination aflame

[Izobel24Stewart]

When I listen to this song always reminds me of a pine forest in the mountains. This suggests the beauty of moonlight, and I thank that I was there. :)

Civil Wars thanks to exist!

[kindasorta123]

so beautiful imma cry

[FrshChees91]

Does he always tune his guitar to DADGAD?

[emgee44]

I hear this and picture a winters day, everything covered in white, the snow still falling...a very nice piece, so glad they included it the album.

[missesjones1234]

Just, beautiful. I love the Civil Wars.

[Sligogirl1998]

Makes me think of the Mirk and Midnight hour..... <3

[xJessaJessx]

That's it... i'm learning the cello part. It's too beautiful to not.

[sleepisgoood]

there's just something about instrumentals that makes me feel like this life is so surreal. it's incredible.

[spockilicious]

mmm i love instrumentals :)

[ummyeah999]

anyone know the/aware of existing guitar tabs online for this piece?

[travelswithcharley4]

@moondreamerfairy - the dislikes must have been because they didn't sing!

[blackbird1321]

She's stunning! What an amazing band <3

[OreoHELLYEAH]

Every single song on this album is pure genius.

[moondreamerfairy]

This is beautiful. THIS is real music. I can't get enough of them. I just discovered them a month ago, and got tickets to see them live! Luckily I got the tickets just in time. Can;t wait because because they are simply AMAZING!!! 2 people are deaf to real music!

[BlackMist77]

Whoever disliked this doesn't need to be listening. It is an insult to those of us humans who enjoy good music.

[it961]

[LadyMado]

The Civil Wars have just become my favourite band

[stormyafternoon]

Could someone make a 2 hour version of this? <3

[SebastianGuerrer00]

@stormyafternoon

You mean " The Violet Two Hour"?

[ginnysmaz]

1) google rainymood

2) listen

3) you're welcome :)

[AnnaRoberts9]

@ginnysmaz Holy mackerel....that just made the song a billion times better!!! (if that's even possible!)

THANKS! <3

[NadiaVision]

@ginnysmaz OMG... You are an Angel! Thank You!

[ctsg2010]

@ginnysmaz Genius

[blahness013]

The melody has always reminded me of Scarborough Fair. Which I love. The minor key, the gentle kind of lilting... whew.

[wiis3pro]

Part of this sounds like the Harry Potter theme song.

[AlexMcginty356]

Seriously fantastic.. If they sang in this song I would cry tears of joy

[sylviaxlynn]

lullaby for the soul. gave me chills

[FadingToBlack05]

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna listen to them nonstop right now. :)

[water2chick]

My dad: Why are you wasting your money on that hippy shit?

Me: It's not hippy shit, it's love in music form.

My dad: Stop it, you're freaking me out.

Me: But it's true!

[onklubmod]

Wonderful feeling .....

[arundul12]

Beautiful. Sugar to the ears.

[IDidNotPickThisName]

At certain parts, this song reminds me of that tune that the yellow-suited man whistles in Tuck Everlasting. It makes my spine tingle unsettlingly, but then the continuation of the song levels me out. It's marvelously beautiful!

[gaybaconstrips13]

@IDidNotPickThisName OMG you're so right! It sounds just like that.

[StellaStar413]

@IDidNotPickThisName That's what it is!! Tuck Everlasting. I was like... This sounds a little framiliar lol. Thanks.

[sedonaification]

This song is so beautiful, it makes me cry every time I listen to it.

The Civil Wars are so lovely.

[MateyaWorthy1]

[drizzlefoshizzle69]

how many albums do they have??? I LOVE THEIR MUSIC, just recently discovered them and have not been able to listen to anything else

[Datbchik]

@drizzlefoshizzle69 I agree! there music is ridiculous! I love their voices and how they go together so well

[potatoeking124]

@drizzlefoshizzle69 they only have one studio album called Barton Hollows but two expansions called Poison and Wine and Lively at Eddie's Attic

[DuBProdigyBuD]

@drizzlefoshizzle69 only one album... but its awesome!

[tatsukisan]

@drizzlefoshizzle69 This is their first official one, they have a few cd of various live recordings of some of these songs. Joy William has had quite a number of albums herself.

[AWalkThroughLorien]

This piece is spectacular. It's so evoking.

[CASSiE8O8]

this song has no words but still says so much...breath takingly beautiful <3

[AmaraMarMar]

Love this. <3 

[HopeElizabethMusic]

Thank you so much for posting these videos!

[NewSurrender930]

Can somebody pleeeeeeeease tab the guitar part out ? I am having difficulties and this song is too pretty to not learn how to play.

[elmerlandon]

@shoreandsea Thanks! I saw their video for "Barton Hollow" on CMT a couple weeks ago and that's the first time I'd heard of The Civil Wars. I've been looking up music from them and I'm liking my search results.

[elmerlandon]

This song makes me think of being out in an open field or woods in the middle of the night. Almost puts me into a dreamy feeling. Great job.

[stphnport]

I know they don't sing on this track, but it's still one of my favorites from the album- such a hauntingly-beautiful tune!
