  • I swear there is a tear coming out of Joy's eye as she pulls away in the last second...

  • 114 people obviously don't know the meaning of true love or can recognize beauty.. this is beyond beauty :)

  • Forever love them. <3 <3I didn't know they performed with Taylor Swift.

  • This song is how I feel about my exboyfriends I love this song so much but I'm glad I have a boyfriend that I luv so much :)

  • 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.

  • johnny depp

  • 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.

  • something borrowed brought me here!

  • Breaks my heart and heals it every time I listen

  • i just started listening to them today and i already love them

  • :')

  • it looks like she has tears in her eyes at the end. i love when music has real emotions in it.

  • Check out my cover to this song on my channel and let me know what you think!

  • absolutely beautiful <3

  • As a 19 year old dude, I can honestly say I felt like a teenage girl watching the end of this video. KISS HER GEEZUS

  • 114 people have no taste.

  • CHECK OUT COUNTRYMUSCGRL14!!!

  • made me cry. beautiful.

  • who else had their eyes glued to the screen the last few seconds waiting to see if they kiss?

  • hey arian can you see this?

  • Comment removed

  • kiss already!

    

  • <3 

  • @WeGotDis what? I meant in a good way, this is an amazing song?

  • @lucyheartTW Then don't come back.

  • Brilliant

  • I truly think you can only understand this song if you are married.

  • @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.

  • @vikki10 I think he means more the equivalent... LTR type thing.

  • @cskallerup although it is performed by two people who aren't married to each other...

  • Comment removed

  • this song is relatable. and it makes me tear up. hah

  • These guys are great I ran into their music looking for Amos Lee, what a nice suprise.

  • i love u guys!!! beautiful song.

  • Sounds so beautiful!

  • beautiful song ,hope to see you in dublin soon x

  • this song is painfully beautiful .

  • thumbs up if you're here because of Taylor Swift, and just found your new favorite band.

  • 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.

  • @Ashleykayp1818 I wish they would of had Joy sing the lead instead of Taylor. Great song either way though.

  • why does every band I like have to do something with Taylor Swift!?!?!?!

  • Dang as soon as I saw him I was thinking johnny depp? Then I noticed all the other comments lol

  • I am their concert at House of Blues in Dallas!

  • AMAZING!

  • Mia this song is terrible.

  • something borrowed ♥

  • 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 got goosebumps.

  • I used to listen to Lady Antebellum. Now I listen to The Civil Wars. ;)

  • 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!

  • My favorite song. Perfection.

  • and why isn't this Poison and Rum...arrrr!

  • Comment removed

  • i dont give a flying fuck that im a bandwagoner. this is how great artists are discovered and brought to the limelight.

  • I thought that he is johnny depp!!! damnn

  • This song brings a tear to my eye wether I'm happy or sad I love the civil wars

  • <3

    

  • Lyrics confuse the fuck out of me, awesome song nonetheless.

  • Amazing song. Such beautiful voices together

  • Why can't they just be married to eachother?!

  • At first he reminded me Of Johnny Depp :D

  • Is This Song Fucking Perfect Or What???!!!

  • I love this song so much. It's playing on repeat!

  • And why is Taylor the one doing all the singing in Safe and Sound?

  • he looks like johny depp.just sayin ;)

  • I think John Paul looks like John Paul and Joy Williams looks like Joy Williams.

  • I want to live in that house.

  • 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

  • @OliviaCodeine Thank cheese, if your a nihilist/aethist : ).

  • i thought he was johnny depp at first haha

  • Now I wanna play my guitar with a coin!

  • Goosebumps at the harmony at 2:16...wow. Just started listening to their music. Beautiful!!

  • Two years old? Where have I been?

  • wow what a RING! dang!!!

  • Tbh, i brought myself here...

  • listening this because of the wanted <3

  • amazing! safe and sound by taylor swift made me curious about these guys and this song is so beautiful! <3

  • simply beautiful. :)

  • Pretty little liars brought me here

  • Comment removed

  • This is like watching Christina Perri and Johnny Depp singing!!

  • @oliver1990 agreed! :D

  • Why am I just finding out about them now?! What have I been wasting my life listening to these past 16 years?!

  • I don't have a choice, but I'd still choose you <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.

  • 8:45pm: last time i'll press the repeat button....

  • 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.

  • How can anyone dislike this video?

  • 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 :)

  • @Skywalkerfereva I think that man looks like Johnny Depp too!!

  • @cubancat27 I think he gets that a lot...

  • jonny depp

  • Taylor Swift / The Hunger Games brought me here.

    I think I found my new favorite band. =)

  • @tearacydee Me too! :]

  • this is such a beautiful song! so lyrical so..so..ahh i can't describe it!

  • 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?

  • @guilleg4 How is it gay?

  • @fizzylizzy710 me 2! Pretty song

  • He's a clone of Johnny Depp..<3

  • @lunaticwithcandy TOTALLY. But the tease of it and the tension is almost better.

  • 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!

  • what a beautiful song.

  • @fizzylizzy710

    Well, aren't you a special flower.

  • The Hunger Games bought me here.

  • i've never wanted to see a kiss so bad in my life. i feel like pre teen girl.

  • Listened to this song 30 times already just this morning.

  • and I like how Joy doesn't close the door at 0:18

  • they're so talented! They should've sung Safe and Sound instead of Taylor Swift.

  • Your hands can heal, your hands can bruise

  • Holy crap... this is beautiful.

  • Is it just me or has meg white gotten hotter?

  • lol its johnny depp

  • 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

  • Disliking this song should be a crime..yeah, its that good. XD

  • For those who disliked this song, obviously don't understand the lyrics.

  • @Irishkisskiss4u or they just disliked the song

  • Comment removed

  • Wow! Awesome song. Love it!

  • Saw them at the alabama theatre! AMAZING

  • so someone mentioned this song (i think it was this one newho) was in an ep of greys and idea what ep that was would appreciate knowing

  • He's my 1st grade teacher's husband!!! <3 that family!

  • Joy Williams and John Paul White.......

    

  • Who knew Johnny Depp could sing like that?? xD I love the civil wars. they have the most amazing sound I've ever heard <3

  • 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

  • @mysoullivesformusic1 You do realize there is no 1:99 right?Dont worry.I get what part your're talking about!:)

  • @MsChococat99 hahaha omg i meant 1:19 lol

  • chuck and blair...

  • @alksninga . Means past emotions never die.

  • reading some peoples comments can sometimes ALMOST ruin a great song!!

  • they are much better live... 

  • The song: Safe and Sound brought me here!!!!!!!! :D

  • @egelbman they are good, but so is daniela andrade, whose voice has a really magic tone to it.

  • 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

  • but they dont!

  • whats with these two... each video i watch i keep expecting them to kiss

  • she didn't close the front door...

  • @iJake1996 when i do that at home i get yelled at...

  • 108 people drank too much wine and not enough poison.

  • Sent here by The Hob. Beautiful song.

  • 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.

  • @cootaloot read the story of Hosea from the Bible and you may find a new appreciation for this song.

  • I dont love him, but I always will... I try to say and act like I dont love him. But who am I kidding?!

  • Looks aside, this song is beautiful! I love love love it. (: Such a talented couple!!

  • Hunger games...

  • His name is John Paul White not Johnny Depp

  • Holy shit I thought he was Johnny Depp O_O

  • "I don't love you but I always will." What does it meaaan?!?!?! O.o

  • @AwksNinja1 -JUST LIKE IT SAYS - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL !

  • Can someone explain what this song is supposed to mean...

  • @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.

  • @JoeSchmo1510 You unconfuddled me. thank you :D

  • 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.

  • Veronica Roth sent me here.

  • @piseog loll me too hahaha

  • I'm going to be in a music video today, maybe I should wash my hair.

  • Along with Adele, Gilliam Welch and Matraca Berg...this group's album was one of the highlight of 2011! Awesome!

  • Love: Civil Wars.

    Hope: Mumford & Sons.

    Light: Pablo Blaqk's song Find your way.

    Peace.

  • love the civil wars before the hunger games

  • I know I discovered The Civil Wars just few days ago, but I will make up for that by listening them for the rest of my life...

  • Hunger games brought me here :)

  • i love them!!!!
