Wow amazing. Jian is a great interviewer! LOVE The Civil Wars (:

[Frumpy Layers]

yes! I've been waiting for this one, thank you

I noticed that to. Maybe they were just tired of answering questions about their relationship, or it could be something more there. Who knows with these two though. Everything about their relationship is a curiosity.

[Robin Hartman]

Does anyone not completely believe their answers about their relationship with each other? His body language seemed awkward and defensive. Her expression showed nervousness. I don't think it would be right, as they're married to other people, but it all seems curious to me.

Interviewer did beautifully!

"handsome man is just around the corner" while scratching her face.

You don't drop a tour in midstream because of different musical backgrounds as you put it. LOL, 21 years old?  Are you kidding me? How old are you?

[Zachary A Wilson]

I must disagree with you in this. I don't believe they broke up because they hooked up or something, I think their different musical backgrounds eventually did wedge between them. If they were both 21 years old, I could see a relationship having formed. Either way, it doesn't make sense to blame Joy or John Paul for the split, we should just enjoy what they've done and look forward to whatever they do make in the future, whether separate or reunited.

[Caroline Russell]

"Its kind of nauseating sometimes." Oh John Paul. You're the best.

[bren57mar]

I love this interviewer, he is the best. Allow me to make a negative comment. Joy just said if they were involved they wouldn't be able to do what they do; I guess that explains the internal discord. Well, it may have begun as musical chemistry. If anyone breaks the band up it will be Joy.

[bren57mar]

Fate. It's what happens when you aren't looking. Well, maybe you need to think about this internal discord and get back in the studio. It's the differences that make you guys special. Don't throw it all away unless you plan to quit the music business now.
