Heard them on S.O.A. Soundtrack... Yeah wow definitely dark, romantic yet intriguing. I’m sorry for being late on finding these diamonds after the dirt has been dug. Great job! And yes she is sexy! Lol

Soo miss these two creating as one......

Johnny Depp sure has a hot girlfriend.

How could they not fall in love with each other?!

Again here in 2019...There is so much intensity in their chemistry.... Like the way she looks at him show the full level of love she is so intense... And the way he looks back that's so adorable ... They look great together... Wish they were still together... miss their music 😢

She oozes sexual energy... he had to get away from it.

I'm crying

I miss you so much in this 2019.

its 2019. i want the unfiltered truth of why this ended. i was in love with this duo when they were around (maybe as much as they were with each other?)

Her voice is unreal. It stirs my soul, now THAT's natural talent.

I Love this song. I cant stop listen to there music. I hope they reunite.

Completely mesmerizing and remarkable, a novel sound I didn't realize existed.

Keşke sizi önceden tanısaydım, yeni keşfetmem üzücü

My soul

Hes in love with her voice. Not her. He leans into it while she leans into him. It's evident how she feels. They're soul mates, but not the forever kind. Sometimes we make beautiful music with people but still have to let them go. We aren't meant for everyone we'll love and will love us. They're music is bittersweet because that's exactly what they are. This could be their last reunion. Or maybe another will happen in 20 years. Or perhaps another lifetime. Their music, though, will forever be an ode to an unforgettable connection.

So special, that was not chemistry, it was pure God given. I respect both of them to honor their marriages. But, being selfish, I so wish they were together. Heavenly...thank you and I am so pleased they are both excelling independent of each other.

Joy really looks at him like she's in love and it breaks my soul

It feels so erotic watching them, like they are making love to each other.

You can't have that sort of chemistry and not be in love with each other. They were deeply in love, knew it was wrong since they were both married....my God I miss them

Thanks Civil wars for all the great and special music. I wish you well for the rest of your lives

The thumbnail picture... hot

Sizden çıkan bütün şarkılar harikadan da öte.

Oh, to have a girl look at you like that! To have her voice caress you like that, while you caress her in turn; even if it's only with your own voice. You can see her fingers, gently moving to caress him in return, the music, his voice. Put down the guitar John Paul, get on your knees and beg her forgiveness. Kiss her until she weeps with joy and her soul splinters, than hold her gently and tell her that it will all be alright; you are hers, she is yours and come ruin or rapture you will never let her go again.

Fucking kidding me, YouTube: 12-minute commercial between songs?Assholes. Somebody is gonna make you obsolete soon.

first MCR then i had to go through this duo break up *cries*

They have significant others but love each other? That's fucked on my many levels. Yikes.

One Of My Favourite songs from Them Is From This Valley ...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I guess folks will keep on believing what they want to believe about these co-writers of such awesome and beautiful music. If it warms your little hearts to think that JPW and JW had some torrid affair, nothing is going to stop y'all. I happen to think Joy was being honest when she told an interviewer that their connection was not of a romantic nature, but it was just as deep. When two songwriters who work together so closely also perform together, they often feel a connection so strong it's a high like no other. They do have a connection to the music and each other while they're singing together, that's as intense as if they were engaged in a passionate affair and that is just as real. But, it seems, only another musician would understand that. If they had ever shared tender feelings, I don't think they would *still* have hard feelings on either side. Maybe for a while, if someone got really hurt, but not a years- long deep freeze. I believe it was irreconcilable professional differences. But if that is the case, there's always a chance that way down the road one of them will have a change of heart, say, in "another 10 or 12 years, maybe longer..."

wow - capo way the hell up to 7 - so Bm as if Em - easy to make that little lick like that.

She's so intense

There's a note underneath your front doorThat I wrote twenty years agoYellow paper and a faded pictureAnd a secret, in an envelopeThere's no reasonsNo excusesThere's no secondhand alibisJust some black ink, on some blue linesAnd a shadow, you won't recognizeMmmMmmAnd if it means I'll be waiting twenty yearsAnd twenty moreI'll be praying for redemptionAnd your note, underneath my doorAnd your note underneath my door

New favorite Civil Wars song

we all secretly know why they broke up

"I never had relations with that woman..."

Yep. Sad.

Riaz Ali where did he say that?

I mean just at the way they look at each other. They are perfect together.

Beautiful...

Come back to me

This is amazing. They work so well together!

This is my favourite pass time these days. Watching their videos from way back...

Damn, this is like sex. I like their chemistry!

It's so intimate, you almost feel like a voyeur. I never heard of them until recently, and had to find out their whole story. You just don't get music like this without a strong connection.

Exactly, you almost don't dare to watch them because it is so intimate. Wish I had something like this; )

Yeah well... they broke up. Their chemistry wasn't enough! Should have taken physics as well!

Hahaha, maybe not enough physics indeed

Thank You SOOOOO Much for putting this video back up! The performance (and you) are brilliant!!! :)

I've never seen it before but I am glad it is back. I am sure it is Joy's side who put it up as it looks like her and her husband took control over the Civil Wars legacy but whoever did it..it's very appreciated. I just saw JP perform the other day. I so wish they were together still...never got to see them live.

You can still hear Joy singing harmony on JPs' new album, you just have to provide it in your head. But that's really, really easy.

3-4 yıl öncesi ilk dinlediğim ,en güzeli

John Paul is the sexiest guy I ever saw, he makes me quiver inside

They put this vid back up!!! YAAAAAAAAY!!!! :D :D :D

How beautifully you captured the twenty or so years I waited for my love who has came and is now gone... I only need this song to take me there again. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤

i luv u

I love this music they meet me into the heart❤could listen forever ,its very beautiful,to bad i see civil wars never live

In 20 Years i want to remember how they look at each other

You have added to the beauty of life and this will stand for eternity.

This is like reliving a deepened heart break for me and very much interprets what its like to lose the one you love so immensely that no matter how deeply you berry the past it will remain living in your heart. I do hope they meet again in life....

Sam Art Drallop you’re right- it remains alive in the heart.

oh my God the way she signs to him closer and closer.....

2:14 - Their vocals on 'For 20 years' gives me shivers here

That's a tough lyric...."In the meantime I'll be waitingFor twenty years, twenty more".....

I've heard and seen a lot of music in my life! 300s if not more  of show from R&B, punk, hair bands classical and opera. I just love music. I prefer to listen to people who do their own works , which is what drew me to Joy and John . This is some of the most beautiful work ever composed! Here's food for thought for all those who purpose romantic connection. In all likely hood they in the physical world! They remained true to there respected mates Joy had a baby .   john had children of his own ,But in spiritual world John and Joy's soul connected in a way so few people do and dream off. Or else this music couldn't have touch so many including their selves. and that is what's undeniable.

I just came back to watch them look at each other because oh i am in love with that !

+Fareeha Mahmood yup, me too...there´s just so much love there...absolutely beautiful! =)

+Tobias Löfbacka so much love. It's incredible. Makes me want to have the same kind of love *_*

miss you two

This is a petition to The Civil Wars:Please, please, please! Make ONE more song together! We love your music and we miss hearing you guys play! Please, just one more song, I won't ask for anything ever again!Like this comment if anyone agrees!!

They don't even speak anymore...so sad :(

Do “Hallelujah”

Hermoso!

I miss them. So bad. Their music felt like magic, and so was their chemistry..

It occurred to me tonight that this song, written quite early on, is actually their epitaph. And perhaps a prediction...these two will likely talk again, but it will be a long, long time. The cord's not entirely cut, but it's been buried very deep indeed."there's a note, underneath your front doorthat I wrote twenty years agoyellow paper and a faded pictureand a secret, in an envelope.there's no reasons, no excuses,there's no secondhand alibis,just some black ink on some blue linesand a shadow you won't recognize.in the meantime, I'll be waiting,twenty years and twenty more,I'll be praying for redemption,and your note underneath my door"

Ashley Burt How do you know that?

That is part of the story. JP wanted a break from the road to be with his wife and 4 kids, Joy wanted to seek greater success. It's true that her background is more pop whereas JP's is traditional folk and blues, but the 'irreconcilable differences' were based on there career choices and goals as far as we know. There is an npr interview where Joy delves into this a little bit.

You have no idea how much this is true

@Chris Gordon Still not sure that's the whole story, but, in my opinion, if Joy wanted to go pop, she was crazy. The last thing this world needs is another pop singer. What we desperately need is music like this.

And Joy's one album is called front porch?😔

Perfection. I am thankful that their music came to be, if only for a short time.

The guitar is so beautiful!! (the singing as well, of course)

her eyes kinda creep me out... looks like she's bout to eat him

Just wow

This makes me so sad that they couldn't work out whatever problems they had. Going to miss hearing new music from them :(

I miss this:(

The absolute favorite version of my favorite Civil Wars song. This is indeed a masterpiece of writing, harmonies, and emotion. AMAZING!!!

This Song is my soul! Wunderfull.... thanks from bavaria

Damn I cant stop listening to this

Υπέροχη χημεία ...

There's really no denying that their chemistry is insane! :)

I really liked the performance. The male's voice, however, needed to have been given more amplification; he was so low that it was difficult for me to hear clearly his words.

I would suggest that his voice has to be that soft, like an internal monologue, questioning himself. So make an effort and learn the lyrics really well so you can feel that monologue. I've done that with a lot of songs I really like (especially where it's hard to understand the lyrics), and it really enhances the experience.

Sometimes the reunion of magic such as this is inevitable, in spite of whatever discord exists on the personal front. I look forward to such inevitability. (:

Jon Paul is beautiful

Why did they broke up?

I've only just discovered them and I'm hearing about a break up? That's so awful :( This is such a beautiful song <3

@Megan Durrence they were never together romantically but it was assumed they had really strong feelings for each other, despite their significant others AND children... they split as a music duo due to this because they didn't want to break up the other's family... i dunno. it's a real shame though, their music was and still is amazing. :(

There was something there. What I would give to have a woman look at me like Joy looks at John Paul.

Why did they brake up?? I like them alot

Dear Civil Wars,I miss you. I love you.

Kate Chamomile 😢😢😢😢

love her and him they r so good together sad they broke off

I really liked your video! :) Check out my music channel I think you'll love it too!

I love this!

Musical soul mates... Didn't know it was possible before I heard these two.

Jewel Segulah Leah Green 💔

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are the same way. Musical soulmates for sure.

This song gives me chills.♥ their chemistry is so strong and the way she looks at him is just ahh indescribable!

yall heard the news rite? we need to do something to get them back together :( can't bear this! 

They must have a good reason, you don't break up a band like that for trifles. It's "right" be the way ;)

oh the way she looks at him! :)

idk how she continued after that. I'd be fucking dead.

ikr.. ;\ They belong together. They should at least do more songs together.

They're both married.

Damn it, she melts your heart with those eyes and voice :|

Who knew Placebo could sound like this. Go listen to the original, its like two totally different songs. Would be interesting to hear them cover Sucker Love and Special Needs by Placebo.

This is an original, not a cover... 20 Years by Placebo _is_ a totally different song...

joy, your voice is so sexy and gives a man chills...

Lol super pretty

My favorite song by them, it's incredible- new YouTube musician, only have 1 video, but I'd appreciate if you checked it out :)

anybody else notice the same acoustic hook as in Ed Sheeran's "I see Fire"? noticed it right away.  check it out.  

The Underground Railroad of the Abolitionist John Brown has churches corrupted to outright Menshevik communist revolution, because businessmen were financing illegal activity, that was later hung for murder and high treason.  Lincoln's use of his cabinet to invade to retake the Confederacy was Bolshevik, as the USA today is to the left of Communist China.  Bolshevik-Menshevik instability with 666,666,666 commies to Senator McCarthy of Red Scare under the minister of ideology; is Communism use for Roman Catholic Curses of the Ascension; Nazarene, Damascus by snow blindness hit Saint Paul, Ephesus, and Galatians.

this is so amazing, it sounds better live than recorded! :)

I know right!? They were truly beautiful together

If you're talking about this video, it's not live. It's produced, engineered, and altered to make it sound this way. Like any music video. The only difference is that they are singing as it's being recorded. But there were probably multiple takes.Not trying to be hateful. It's a beautiful song, they were a tremendous duo, and their real live shows were incredible. But this isn't truly live.

L-O-V-E.   Miss them.  :'(

Please listen to My cover of "20 years" by "The Civil Wars" Any likes and shares are majorly appreciated :Dhttps://soundcloud.com/curtisgarrett/20-years-cover-of-the-civil

This version in church is easily the best one I have heard. It has genuine heartfelt emotion. Favourite song at minute.

After John Paul's Grammy 2014 speech, I'm pretty sure they're done. So much tension and hate has been built up. This is a tragedy. This will be one of my favorite songs and one of my favourite videos of the pair. 

I feel that "rift" has been badly misinterpreted; he could have made that speech with Joy by his side and we wouldn't have thought twice about it. We of course can't know from the outside, so this is just my opinion. I do hope they reconnect... in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, whatever it takes. They are not fools. They know what they have.

@Howard Parks if they DONT reconnect in some way in the next 5 to ten years ill be really shocked. But if fleetwood mac did it I dont see why someday they wouldnt.

Damn! I love this duo! I made a cover of this song on my channel. But I screwed up the last 2 lines. Haha

please get married.

they are married to different people. 

She loves him so much. It's extreamly beautiful how you can feel the love she feels for him through looking in her eyes. How she watches him. Its absolutely breath taking. I love you JOY and JOHN. 

It's a shame they have different significant others.
