To me, this song describes the end of my marriage. Everything Joy is singing about is how I feel. Everything John is singing about describes how my soon to be X feels.
This song doesn't make sense to me as a marriage. To me, it was that point in a relationship, where you realize they will never be the one, but you still love them, and you know you always will. Sometimes love just isn't enough for you to stay with someone.
@cskallerup Uh...not at all. I've been in a relationship for four years and this song has completely described our relationship. Just because you have a piece of paper and a ring doesn't mean anything.
@unicorn9xt They are married, just not to each other as you said. In fact that is why I think they can look each other in the eye and admit their true feelings.
I'm proud to say I knew of this band WAYYYYYYYY before Taylor Swift did that song with them. These people have pure talent. I've seen them live and they're voices are not auto tuned in the least bit, unlike Taylor's. They should have been more popular before that song came out. But, I'm glad for Safe and Sound they went with the Civil War's style instead of Taylor's, otherwise it would have sucked.
WOW! So Powerful, Moving, and I'm sure many will agree, you just don't see that kind of talent, chemistry, raw emotion, anymore John and Joy are truly a breath of fresh air, soak it up people!
I LOVE THIS SONG! Now this right here is what you call REAL music..... so raw and simply beautiful! It makes me want to run through a field barefoooted on one of the most BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT DAYS EVER!
nugentchic, I used to pass JPW on the street a few years back when I worked in downtown Florence, AL. I would catch myself thinking I was looking at Johnny Depp as well. Beautiful group. I haven't found a song of theirs that I dont like.
I just found this duo and I am completely obsessed. I would like to thank God for gracing us with these two fabulous people and putting them together in a setting where they can put their music out to the world. <3
This song took my breath away the first time I heard it, and brought tears to me eyes. It still touches my heart and hits my soul every time I listen to it. "I don't have a choice, But I still choose you." "no I don't love you, but I always will." Alec Daniel Ballantyne you are the love of my life..that will never change.
I absolutely love this song with a passion. Every time i hear it i gotta sing it aloud <3 I totally agree I dont see how anyone could possibly dislike this.
I knew I knew them from somewhere! I heard they were on Safe and Sound and totally freaked out! Taylor Swift+The Civil Wars+The Hunger Games = 521635897269649870874073087504378 . . . faints . . . . pure bliss :)
the girl i stalk liked this band on facebook, so here i am, i must say its kinda gay for me but i like it, it makes me think about her :'( , cool story isn't it?
beautiful!!! love what he says under the lyrics! very true it has ups and down but if you really love them it can work.you say you dont love them when you get mad.but truth is you do or you wouldn't fight for it :) love the new song they did with my fave singer Taylor swift!
gave the song a shot but i still don't like it. the lyrics don't really speak to me either. i get the lyrics, and can even relate to them, but I'm not feeling the song. i definitely think its beautiful though
When you view love is a choice rather than an emotional feeling your emotions don't always feel love. Emotions constantly change. As humans that change all the time...there's always this tension. We just don't talk about it...or find it difficult to talk about. Easier to sing.
Omg the harmony that starts at 1:99 is so gorgeous and beautiful and just amazing i get chills everytime no matter how many times i watch this video lol
have you ever heard music so beautiful that just the sound o it alone brings you to tears and you quietly thank god for the gift o being able to hear for me that is the civil wars
Honestly, the people who dislike this song/band is completely and utterly pathetic. They both have beautiful voices and harmonize so well. There is no excuse to not like them.
@jesusfreak7181993 it's not a bad song, but a lot of people need more than just mindlessly pretty mainstream ballads. they want something real, not television real, and this is television real.
@Ree301 it is about a typical couple who fights and tries to find reasons to break up, but they cant actually do it because they have so many feelings for each other. they are realizing that they have to accept each others flaws because they will always love each other even tho sometimes it feels like they dont love each other at all. the song represents how complex it is to love someone but not be able to truly admit how you actually feel. they have no choice, their love is meant to be.
I love this song. End of story. I also found that when it continues at 3:07. and you make the same video in another window. only have it a second a head. it has a better beat. But I still love this song, always will.
I swear there is a tear coming out of Joy's eye as she pulls away in the last second...
