kavlosa

[Shoe0nHead]

one of my favorite songs from them. her voice always gives me chills. ;-;

[jamlyngar]

@rockachick909 Bless you.

[casstiell1]

@cche16 right? :D he seems like Johnny Depp so frikkin' much :)

[cche16]

JOHNNY DEPP!!!!!!

[sheislove23]

Stunning. O_O

[checkeraka47]

somebody tell me some bands like this one (im new to this music and i love it)

[iheartluccileball11]

This is real love music, not the Justin Bieber, "baby baby baby" crap that is on the radio!

[TheBlankThought]

@SageSwan u know it ;)

[TheBlankThought]

adele is too mainstream for my taste...besides i knew about her like a year ago.....but civil war....i mean...theres something about them that draws u in....

[SageSwan]

@TheBlankThought hipster!

[Loving1468Life]

i have to get the CD it sounds amazing!!!

[xoxonoso]

Very nice. Leonard Cohen's version is very haunting.

[anbmjj]

Very few things have the capabilities to bring goosebumps to my skin. Its like I'm a robot incapable of getting that reaction to something as simple and intangible as music... this has finally done it.

[MrTSRHG]

In case you are still wondering who wrote the song, it was Leonard Cohen.

[berfinbaydar]

Yes it is

[liviensarie98]

7 people don't know what real music is

[olivephantom89]

"if i ever had a dream at night id dream about a prayer id dream i was soaring beneath the clouds in the moonlight air that i have butterflies in my hair and angels by my side telling me a prayer of freedom and everlasting love!!!"

[galashaipova]

Прекрасный дуэт! Замечательное видео! Благодарю Вас!

[YveYuki]

I can't stop clicking replay..

[believersneverdie]

This song reminds me of "Once Upon A December" from the movie Anastasia.

[olivephantom89]

@believersneverdie ahhhh loveee that movie!!!

[isadoraduncanstreet]

this is a nice remake...i like the organic sound of his voice.

[jelbel100]

7 people haven't danced to the end of love.

[carayantz1]

they're not married, which is crazy. i swore they had to be after i watched my father's father where they're in the woods. 

[NumbuhLaughing247]

This is a wonderful cover of this classic song C:

[diannasful]

Shes amazing O: !!

[BL4CKC4TMEG]

I don't really like how the Civil Wars and Adele keep being compared. Both are amazingly talented, but personally I think the Civil Wars put more emotion into their music, idk. Just when they perform live they get so into it, like their losing themselves in the music. Their songs are beautiful. Their voices are perfect together.

[missinglew]

@BL4CKC4TMEG Maybe because both (adele and tcw) are great singer-songwriters with amazing vocals ,and their music has an acoustic style, and both have romantic love as a main theme in their compositions. Maybe also because the couple opened some of Adele's concerts during her usa tour last year, and Adele fell in love with them, as she even recommended them in her official site blog. Just maybe.

[BL4CKC4TMEG]

@missinglew Ohh, okay, I didn't realise they opened for her. That makes more sense now:) And true, they are both great singer-songwriters, it just wouldn't have occured to me to compare them because I don't really view their styles as similar:)

[canada12375]

what a great song :D

[JigglypufX]

ayto to tragoudi einai magiko.. mono p t akouw erwteyomai....

[Elisalovesyou999]

He looks like johnny deep(:

[Elisalovesyou999]

<3

[Montoyamommy]

@rockachick909 agreed listening to music on the radio these days is like listening to nothing but meaningless noise. The civil wars are a group that inspire me and that are wonderfully talented!

[rockachick909]

@Leadman1989 I'm not being a dick about it, I'm just saying that some songs on the radio are made just to earn money instead of really pooring emotion into it. For example Kesha who's not a singer and shouldn't be on the radio. None of her songs make sense. Music is supposed to be emotion not talking about sex and getting drunk.

[metalmonkey88]

this reminds me a bit of the song I will wait for you by connie francis.

[swagg1up]

Honestly, I feel that they sound sooo much better out of the studio. So much raw talent in their voices. Amazing group with more talent than any human should have!

[polo10798]

its strange to think that this song was actually written about the holocaust

[ghidaz]

some parts of this song remind me of the Anastasia movie song

[lalala8335]

@ghidaz I know right. I was thinking about the same thing!

[puppydalyas]

Like This Song

[ercanoztr]

Wonderfull

[sierrastuff123]

Cool video sammy! I knew you would make a video like this because everyday you get on the computer and sing and dance to the civil wars song :)

♥ Sierra

[mesingze]

been there, done that.

[KMdeRosa]

'let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone'...some of the best lyrics ever written by a true poet.....this cover is very good :)

[wlppig]

Agree with suhayla11 that Cohen should've been given top billing; although I think Leonard's voice is kinda perfect for what he has to say. His voice is a great gift either way. This is a very cool version of the song- check out Klezmer Conservatory for a gorgeous version also.

[daniluchison]

Melancholia (melənˈkōlēə) = Deep sadness or gloomy.

My definition = A certain recall triggered by a specific thought, sound, sight, smell or taste of an undergone physical experience which in turn results in a sad and sometimes gloomy feeling sensation state.

From an spiritual point of reference, it is the deep sensation felt by every human being, at a subconscious level, every time there is a recall of the earlier life lived in a sort of 'garden of even' where every relation was perfect.

[Tiddball1]

@daniluchison

haha "garden of even"! that's just too good.

[rfgardner]

Great version of the song-

Check out Lenard Cohen- the song writer-

did you know that, while Cohen was in monastery refining his life, the guy in charge of managing his music business- ripped him off and swindled most of his money away. Cohen came out of the monastery not wanting to be a monk and finding out that he was broke.

[rockachick909]

This is real music, this is real stuff here. not the crappy electronic stuff you here on the radio. Im fourteen and all my friends listen to that horrible rap that talks about sex and drugs all the time, and gosh i hate it!!! artist like The Civil Wars and Adele really need to be noticed like this. they are real emotion and music. love it<3

[lunalovegood126]

@rockachick909 I feel the same way too. But I listen to screamo music. Have you heard their song with Taylor Swift entitled "Safe and Sound" Its from the Hunger Games soundtrack, but beofre you see the movie you should read the book. This group is really talanted to me.

[Leadman1989]

@rockachick909

It's ok to not like things... but don't be a dick about the things you don't like. You should watch that video.

[ultrasonika9]

@rockachick909 I applaud your musical taste!

[nenaanevenaa]

@rockachick909 take adele off that list sweety, she's too famous for her own good :(

[iheartluccileball11]

@rockachick909 I know seriously, I am the same age and my friends listen to the same crappy stuff! I am glad someone my age sees that too

[TheHummingOwl]

are they together or are they just an artistic couple?

[Sam7Art7Freak]

@TheHummingOwl Joy Williams and John Paul White just have a professional relationship together. It's confusing see as they make such beautifully emotional and loving music together! But no, both have their own seperate love relationships and are married to different people. Disapointing, right? I know!! :( lol.. But love in my book, comes in many shapes and formes most people have yet to understand. So I like to think they are very close in their own way that is unique and beautiful! :)

[TheHummingOwl]

@Sam7Art7Freak that was a lovely answer. thankyou!!!

[rockel1986]

@Sam7Art7Freak that's a neat way of looking at it :)

[auralnalle]

@TheHummingOwl They're married ....he calls her his wife on stage...I"m thinking that makes them married.

[TheHummingOwl]

@auralnalle makes sense.

[taniaandreaa]

@auralnalle They're not married to each other, they're married to other people. But I wish they were married to each other because they'd make such a beautiful couple<3

[Sam7Art7Freak]

REMINDER: I DO NOT have anything to do with The Civil Wars publicity or music! I am Not a Civil Wars or music stalker! I don't wish to disown or take away credit, I didn't do my HW on this song before making the video! So unless you are about to invest million's into who ever wrote this song RIGHT NOW and almost invested it into the musicians performing it instead, then it would still be a mistake at best! Other wise, Don't look at who's name is under "Music by" and just listen! Thank you :)

[UrMinexxpp]

John will you marry me <3 <3 <3

[dervis318]

it is my life music.....i love this music so much..thanks THE CIVIL WARS

[louleg23]

Thanks for posting. It's a beautiful version of the Leonard Cohen song (could you maybe change the credit?)

[omgbbqyax]

So greatfull falan, çok iyi (yeah).

[scullion11]

Joy Williams-Marry Me!!

[TLNorman1]

@scullion11 She's married but I get it....She's adorable in more ways than one. :o)

[HisLioness95]

Suddenly I am in love... <3

[HiilAl66]

I love this song ♥ This is so beautiful ♥

C'est une chanson magnifique . ♥

[onnie9summers]

Listen to the acoustic version of France by the Libertines, similar thing, and both are beautiful.

[persianmusic09]

u can use following chords for this song :)

Am, Em, B7, F#.

u have to start with Am and use other chords like the order i wrote.

nice song

thanx :)

[amyinchains]

This is love. 

[KaitlinJasmine]

That. was. beautiful.

[GreekgirlsRawesome09]

@CaoimheWright thats because its not :) its folk with a country essence :)

[water2chick]

Do you think you could get me the chords? Someone? I adore. (I would figure them out myself, but I'm nearly tone deaf. haha)

[suhayla11]

Originally by Leonard Cohen! Boooo to uploader! Super uncool to not cite the original songwriter. That being said, this is the best version I've ever heard :) Madeleine Peyroux's is great, but this is just the best. cohen was a great songwriter, but his voice just didn't get there..

[musicburningsoul]

They remind me of Johnny Cash and June Carter not wanting to fall in love but in the end they find out they are true soul mates <3

[iKitty01]

Its official it was meant to be. I'll take this as a sign that I'm meant to be a fan of theirs. I've been hearing & planning to cover this song but Madeleine Peyroux's version for months now. I love their little take on it. Civil Wars you made a new fan today. You're music is entrancing xoxo!

[reneesie1]

A 21st Century version of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood.

[lindseyroolstheworld]

I am in love with The Civil Wars! so beautiful!! they were made to sing together! truely beautiful..

[ValerioPaul]

Awesome song, their voices compliment each other so well

[remastered2]

Love this women !

[hellojeannieful]

I honestly prefer to watch the civil wars' live performances...their connection makes me feel so much more.

[GrowUp318com]

Does anyone else think he looks a *little* bit like Johnny Depp? Anyone at all...?

[ILuvJohnnyDepp92]

@GrowUp318com me!!!!

[PolymathX]

I don't consider The Civil Wars as modern country. Some of their songs are like rock crossed with folk, some such as this one are melancholia crossed with folk, and still others are pure folk.  No matter what you call them, they are an amazing pair, and when they got together, something greater than the sums of their two abilities came out of it. The magic of true music pulses in their songs.

[crazyabouttwilight23]

@PolymathX yeah kinda but they still rock

[TheCdltnla]

@PolymathX I like that term Im unfamiliar in reference to music- melancholia. Perfect, ty :)

[Diamanthond]

I had a terrible migraine so i decided to just listen to a few of the civil wars songs and my headache was gone completely awedome relaxing soulful music!

[merazkidd]

Idk I think I prefer the live version of this song than the album version.

[fufala123]

love love love

[808shanks]

Very beautiful song!



[samwarwick]

Love this group. I don't really think of this as country though. They are folksy. Although country today is a mix of a lot. Who cares what you call it? I like this as well as Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Kenny.. well not so much Kenny .

[MateyaWorthy1]

I love the story between these two and the meaning of their songs. Always beautiful and makes me feel a bit emotional.

[KristinaStromanTV]

Do they have an album out? I need to get it. This is my new favorite band. I have always loved Jack white.

[enochk23]

Ok people where do you think that country music came from? It sure didnt come from rock and roll it came from folk music so for the people that say its not country it can be

[mrstzeed]

omg its soooo annoying that so many people think they are country.... THE ARE NOT COUNTRY! they are folk... lol

[Mandylicious2]

a slow tango-like dance would go very well with this song...

[sukatrid2plymi]

ooo.

This is good!

[jakcha]

wow. this is the embodiment of all those romantic paintings in the Louvre, the Met, & the Guggenheim put into a song.

[coloursoflove]

soooo beautiful! just fell in love with this song..

to me, this version is better than the original one.

[raynekos]

one of the rare videos with 0 dislikes! idiots havent visited here yet. thanks god!

[dukedoll1]

I cant believe they are not a couple. I mean their voices fit so well together and they have an obvious chemistry but alas both are married to different people.

[dukedoll1]

out of all the covers and the original I have to say this is the best one that I have ever heard. thank you civil wars for being awesome and doing covers like this. I love this song its one of my favorite (if not my favorite) song the album.

[MeTaLLiCaT8282]

I <3 the Civil Wars!

[KatamabobMcKobble]

This is a beautiful cover of an awesome Leonard Cohen song. I love the original version more than anything, but this is also beautiful.

[guadalupes3rdmix]

Yes, this is a Leonard Cohen song. It would be respectful if the person posting it gave it a correct attribution. Beautiful interpretation The Civil Wars have done.

[glimmerman108]

IS THIS NOT A LEONARD COHEN SONG???

[Fireflythecrippled]

I have no great love for country music but this song and these two have converted me!

[racloman]

good cover, well done guys :)

[SuperStar8351]

I'm gonna listen to that again

and again

and again

and again..........

[MyFirelightDreams]

I like it. It sounds folky and nice. c: I love "Barton Hollow" and "Poison and Wine" and mostly "To Whom It May Concern". This is a quickly rising new favorite, though! So much love. c:

[sepheroth117]

im shocked that within the endless folds of commercialezed country music their remains something of untattered and untainted substance. This breaths a sigh of relief to me that perhaps we all aren't doomed to the run-through fetters of festering "country music". This is real, this is authentic, and this speaks to and of the human soul more than any Faith hill, Tim Mcgraw or Kenny Cheezy ever could.

[beccalincecum]

@sepheroth117 thank you. i hate it when people call this country music.  this is talent

[jailbaithooker]

@sepheroth117 Oh you said it perfectly. Their music takes you to that place you only dream about. So pure. They sing to my heart.

[Oestaira]

@sepheroth117 The Civil Wars is folk.  Not country.

[link182ava44]

@sepheroth117 that's because it's more folk than country.

[JakeRathburn]

Fully agree they've got a great sound, Sepheroth. However, this song is a cover of a folk song by none other than the man himself, Leonard Cohen. It frustrates me they do not credit him, confusing at least 48 people who agreed with you. Also, this is by no means a country song. Just a little FYI for y'all

Peace,

Jakeeeee

[MandolinforJesus]

@sepheroth117 mandolin orange



[suhayla11]

@sepheroth117

originally a jazz/folk song. also are the civil wars a country band? think of them more as southern rock/folk..

[apophismynx]

@sepheroth117 Folkish Country ftw

[mizfabulosity]

omg what an amazingly beautiful song!!! love it!!!

[ZombieGingerback]

<3 I love them so much. So excellent.

[ShanRob2286]

Beautiful. Utterly Beautiful. Instant Love. 

[catherinemjfan]

@ShanRob2286 ,it is PERFECT !!!!!!loved it !!!!
