i hate when people don't give credit to peter gabriel in the description... singing is spot on but i wish you would've done more w/ the guitar part :/
This is so beautiful and the two Rose's just give it life! I look and see "26 dislikes" and I'm wondering how could you every dislike such beauty. I can listen to this non-stop! You should come play in Corner Brook, Newfoundland...seriously!
You know how when you hear or see something so awesome that it gives your goosebumps? Yup. All over my body. Amazing. Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Girls, this is totally amazing.. I've been listening to it for maybe 57th time and I'm crying now, again.. :)) This song in your mouths is much more beautiful than words can show..
Just wanted to point out, the Book of Love is not BY the Magnetic Fields, It's BY Peter Gabriel. Magnetic Fields do a cover of Peter Gabriel's song. I'm a bit of a stickler for this kind of stuff.
I have watched this twenty times now. I LOVE IT. I love the Magnetic Fields version, and the Peter Gabriel version, but I think this might actually be my favorite. I love the joy you guys infuse the song with and the sweetness, too. Just beautiful.
@cookiesgreen I remember first hearing Peter Gabriel's original version and searching for it on youtube. I came across the duet. You're so right! Joy and sweetness! Beautiful!

I may have already said it, but you guys are awesome! I love how you both compliment each other. It's so soothing to hear you sing...NYC baby! Let us know when :-)

I cant get enough of this video.. You are both rocking and inspiring.. Love your other videos and the blooper reels too.. hope you'll perform live in NYC sooon!!
....no words to describe how much I loved this cover. The Book Of Love is one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you ladies for the most beautiful 3 minutes I had in a while.
Every once in a while i come back to this and listen to it.. and will i suspect for as long as i'm alive.. good job you two.. this is the only version of the song i enjoy and will continue to enjoy as long as it's available. thanks
I'm constantly in awe of this version. And since 2 years now ... I think I should note it down here that Rose (the left Rose in this case) is just putting out her new CD these days!!!
There is a studio recording but it doesn't even come close to the sincerity and chemistry that shows in this video. You sing beautifully together and I love your harmonies . you made a good song GREAT ! Thank You !
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no offense but the one on the right is trying way too hard to outdo the other one which is a shame because the guitarist has a nice mellow voice for this song
wonderful! I made a youtube account just to comment on this. Im walking down the aisle at my wedding to the instrumental of this song....but Id way rather walk to this version! Your voices are fantastic.
Pure amazing.. Man it makes me think of my ex. I wish I were with her so bad. I heard the song at the end of the finale of the best show ever, Scrubs. You girls did an amazing job.
This is an awesome song, and an unbelievable cover. I don't know if it's just my computer, but when I listen to this I hear chirping (reminds me of crickets) in my speakers--another reason I love this video because it looks like they are just hangin' out in a tent.
where to begin? firstly: they're not (as far as we know) cousins, cousins is a surname. secondly, 'because lesbians are gay'? this song is by the magnetic fields, stephen merrit (singer): gay, Claudia Gonson (percussion, piano, vocals, management): gay. by the way, im as straight as a ruler, but you need to sort your life out...how'd you find this song, you either like how the girls sing (in which case sexuality is irrelevent) or searched for 'lesbians' (which makes you a hypocrite, and an ass)
Oh really? I never knew that... There is absolutely nothing wrong with people being gay. I'm not gay, but I know people who are and they're good people. Unlike certain homophobes it appears
I've always loved this song but your version completely blew me away. Thank you so much for taking care of it and making something even more lovely. :)
Jesus, I want that u live in me, I wanna give u all I am and u to become my Lord. I want to give u the first place on my heart everyday and take decisions based on what uare to me. Sorry for all my sins and take everything in me; I dont wanna stay with nothing, my past, my present, my future. I know that u died on the cross and Now I know that u are alive. Everything is urs starting today. I live for u, help me and use me. U are the Lord and I love u. In Jesus name. Amen.
If you want to begin to live that connection with the Creator and find the reason of your existence, you repeat this from inside of your heart and recive to Jesus like personal friend, He doesn't fail, He completes dreams....
Hey... this song is beautifull.... and ur vocies too. God put on my heart write this and see u im here..
God see ur life, he knows how u are, he Knows how u feel and He wants to change ur life.
Living the life is much more that feed feelings and emotions. Living for oneself is boring to the future. Living for others (persons, things, projects) can carry to frustration. But to live for God, this is the best way of investing the life. If you want to take the initiative to have a different life..
This song is already so beautiful that it seemed impossible to improve it... but these ladies and their incredible harmony took it to a whole new level!!! Well done!
Can someone please tell me where I can find this song, I could not find this version on Itunes, just discovered both Roses and I am in love with their music. Thank you
