2024 BABY! What a masterpiece! 🥹
I don't think i'll ever get over them breaking up. Watching them sing together just catches my breath.
+kaitlynn grovesteen mine too..such a shame.
I was pretty sure they only stopped making music to take care of their child, they'll be back
Not going to happen. He has four kids, and his wife wants him at home. Joy still wanted to tour. And apparently some other problems.
I feel like they doomed themselves by calling themselves The Civil Wars. But yes listening to this or Poison and Wine makes me miss them VERY MUCH!
DJ_CRUEL They don’t have a kid together.
the way. they look at. each other.
Angie Wiranata pure lust i see
+Angie Wiranata That may have been part of the problem.
+Angie Wiranata I know what you mean it feels like I'm intruding on an intimate moment between lovers.But that fire makes for some great music !!!
+John Pearce That's what I'm thinking.
+Linda Maddox no he is married
I wanted to let you know how much this song means to me. My husband is a 3 tour combat Retired Army veteran & has severe PTSD among physical limitations. I heard this song and I cried & cried. These words speak volumes to how he has built up walls to protect himself from his damaged traumatic past. We have been married 13 years now & I played this song for him and he broke down and cried. Your music reaches beyond just those who listen to songs, they reach the heart & have the power to heal............Thank you so much for this song!! You two are my favorite
So happy that you and your husband could connect by the power of great music!! :) hope you guys are well and have an amazing day!
Thank you for your service!!! I salute you.
+Combat Barbie, I cried when i see your comment, 7 lines of your post make me realize what real love is better than 7,000 lines of bestseller love novel! Hope you guys be strong and happy forever
ps. sorry for my bad english, i'm not native speaker ;-)
thank you both for all your sacrifices
+Justin Snyder Are you the Justin Snyder I know? Hope so!
*LYRICS:*
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter that gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely, too long
All your actin'
Your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lies
They don't fool me
You've been lonely, too long
Let me in the wall, you've built around
And we can light a match and burn it down
Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flame
In front of us
Dust to
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely, too long
Let me in the wall, you've built around
And we can light a match and burn them down
And let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You're like a mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely, too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely, too long
Amber Carter thx for lyrics
Run to you
Merci pour les paroles :)
You are a true hero for this❤😉

April 2024. Still brings tears to my eyes every time.
my boyfriend dedicated this song to me.. we used to be friends, and i never let anyone, any guy come in my walls due to the fact i suffered an incredibly amount of mental illness.. and suddenly, me and him became more then that... and soon it will be 9 months for us, and honestly i never could feel so happy to let him through the gates of my heart. to be honest, i was scared. but, now i forgot what fear is like. he changed me. no more meds. no more cutting. no more hospitalizations. it's crazy, but so satisfying how a human being, can change you and your perspective on how you look at things and life.
i love you babe. thank you so much.
Joelle Borillo i would love to hear a response too
i'm glad for you :) i hope that as of now, together or not, you're doing fine as well
we closed our hearts because we were once hurt, but we then hurt those who love us because we built a wall around our hearts
omg how r u doing now? i've known a lot of people just like you, and i wanna help them too. hope you two are doing fine
I hope things are still good...Beautiful song.
It's such a shame that they couldn't get past their differences! They were magical together
This is, hands down, the deepest, most heart wretching song I have ever heard. It's simply miraculous. Duo's like these two don't happen very often. To listen to this song is like having a cord going straight into your heart, pumping the exact emotions deep inside of it. Possibly one of the best songs my ears have ever had the honor of listening to.
The One That Got Away and Poison & Wine are two of my other favorites that I think are absolutely hauntingly beautiful and sad at the same time
@@rosiepena8917 They had such great chemistry. Poison and Wine, Dust to Dust, 20 years, and The One That Got Away are my favorites. My wife and I have both albums long with their solo stuff and they are each amazing in their own right. My wife found The Sweeplings while listening to The Civil Wars station on Pandora and they are very similar to The Civil Wars. I believe John Paul White produced some of their music. Let's hope for a reunion at some point, sooner vs later to be sure. Cheers!
What a great text from you to explain how this song goes to your ears and your soul thank you very much I'm so happy to read it🙏❤️
This was me and my husband's wedding song. Love the civil wars and I wish they wouldn't have broken up
This song is too powerful.
My girlfriend won't listen to The Civil Wars anymore because it hurts so much.
I can't stop listening to them, for the same reason.
anyone else ever just get sad as hell that there's no live performance recordings of this and almost certainly never will be
after years i've come back to civil wars and i swear, no other music has made me feel the way their music does
(2)
Try a Canadian band, called " Clann " I'm sure you enjoy them.
@@albertawheat6832 will do! Thanks for the suggestion!
Same here. I always be a fan of this duo. Some of the best music I've ever heard.
"Gone west" Also have a few masterpieces that gets close to these guys. They sadly also disbanded.
This song is me and my husband all around. We both came from hard backgrounds. Abuse, drugs and alcohol....Abandonment. It was a hard life to get through as children. He was tossed from foster home to foster home, back and forth to the abuse of his parents, all the while being abused in the foster homes. I was just emotionally and physically abused by an alcoholic father who never wanted me, and a mother who would get beaten and leave me behind while she ran from it. It never ended for either of us until we physically left it behind. He was shipped to live with an aunt in my school system, and we met. It was truly LOVE AT 1ST SIGHT for us both! Our hearts melted, we fell in love, and 28 yrs later, and 25 married, here we are! Both of us knowing what it means to break down one another's walls, and let someone in to really, truly love each other! Did we hurt each other some, OF COURSE! We were broken individuals.....But what our raising taught us (if nothing else) is YOU DON'T GIVE UP!!!! We hung in, toughed it out, and made a wonderful life together. I feel so sorry that these 2 couldn't fight harder, and beat their demons. We should pray for them both.....Because I can still hear the pain when I listen to him sing. 😔🙏💗
wishing you both all the happiness this life had to offer.
Beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
Listening and loving the track in 2024 in South Africa.
Same here bru
It's October 2022. I still miss the every loving hell out of The Civil Wars . . .
Imagine if they got back together and made music again, that would be amazingggggggggggggg.
There's no way you can sing and play music like this together, and then go back home to another person and find it even relatively satisfactory compared. I think I know why they're taking a break. Temptation.
Very well written. I believe everyone will agree with your first statement, as I do.
Seriously. Look at the way they look into each other's eyes. It gives me chills.
And it's not even just this song! Listen to the subject matter of the entire album. Number 1, it's beautiful, but to me at least, it seems apparent there was more to this than just creative difference. I hate to speculate, but it seems like there could have been more between them.
I thought that until I met John Paul White.... Listen to the "Live at Eddie's Attic,...made here in Atlanta, Ga. EARLY, in their career" ---It gives Plenty of hints... *They didn't get along.- Argued much of the time (Sweet:...but *night, after night, of being corrected) As much as I thought, it must be the fire between... No Such Luck. He's happily married, and so is she. He wasn't happy, on the road with her. She tried...I don't think it was enough... She waited to long. I spent a little time talking with him, just a few months ago.
love this guy a lot... Have some great pics of us. He sang a duet with "Lera
Lynn" --His voice has only improved... The duet was amazing. That man has #IT --I Love Him, So. I think his family travels with him... this will post under my sons name, as I'm on his computer, scooping up "All I Can" from them. I listen to "The Civil Wars" almost daily. They should be proud; they connected with a "Zillion ppl" --His legend/friend "Don Williams" died today... I know he's taking it hard... He took his 16-yr-old son to Mastodon,& he wore a "Don Williams shirt" - He laughed a bit, saying: "I thought he was going to get mad"---But, his son...His Namesake, took it all in, ...What a Great Sport... I found him to be Irresistable, and Oh So Charming. God has only made "One" John Paul White... Mmn Mmn Good.

I'm so in love with their duets. It's as if their voices were made to be together.
unfortunately their voices make each their own way separately.
I recommend you this video czcams.com/video/DD5HkG38pbY/video.html where you can hear those two voices harmonising together without music... Perfection !
This isn't Brandon, it's his better half, regardless of whom it might be, this will BE our wedding song. His idea, not mine. He turned me onto this band when we first met a few years ago. So glad he did, music is our string that has sewn us together. I Love him madly
In reply to those folks who wonder why they broke up and can't make this music anymore, I believe Joy when she said just listen to the new album. I think that they came to the realization that they were soul mates, perhaps, and just fell in love, or got as close to it as any two could dare to venture, when that love is so fraught with complications and cannot be fulfilled.
So sad, but it seems like you're very right.
I’m basically never for straying from marriage but in this case I’d hate to think that two pure soulmates had the unlikely odds of finding each other but simply let it go because they already happened to settle down, do you know if they’re really in love with their married partners? Cuz I think it’s possible to have more than one great love, but if they don’t even love their partners as much or they’re thinking they wish they could’ve been with each other... that might be even worse for their partners’ sakes
@@ilovenycsomuch she's now divorced from Nate.
Yes and the song “the one who got away” was maybe telling us that they got too close . They were married to other people and probably fell in love with each other!
#TheCivilWars One of the best duos in music. Their voices were in perfect harmony. Such magnificent music. That guitar solo is lovely 😀👍🎸🎻🎹 #JohnPaulWhite #JoyWilliams
Beautiful...so soulmates do exist...
Not really :D
Too soon
Is there one for me?
Most of the time if not every time the reason an artist looks at another artist so intently like they are studying them or watching them lol, is really just because they need to make sure that harmonies are totally on point. So sometimes you’ll see singers looking at someone else mouth or face lol. It’s especially true when one of the singers is an ad-libber like these two. That’s basically the only reason these two ever looked at each other while singing. It wasn’t romantic at all, so calm down people. They’re both perfectionists, they wanna get the vocals right.
NOBODY and I mean NOBODY can convince me that they werent in love with each other. The way they look at each other is something incredible. The fact that they split up just tears me apart inside. Their voices are just as perfect a match as they are to each other. :/
Possible. The chemistry between them was powerful... undeniable. Then again, there are artists who enjoy performing together so much they can make it seem as though they're intensely in love...We will never know. Likely we weren't meant to.
I agree! they belong together!
at least we have the two albums.
I've heard from insiders that they were and that it was putting a strain on their marriages. Yes, it played a role in their separating. It's a case for polyamory right there. There doesn't have to only be one person who is right for you.
Same bro... :((((
This actually made me cry.
I don't know why, but this song makes me cry.
You and me both...
I feel sorry for anyone who has not heard their music yet. They are just simply divine.
I lost the one. They tell me he's the sparkle in the snow flakes, the breeze on my face,...I feel him now only in my dreams. Gone.
"Dust To Dust"
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
All your acting, your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You're like a mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely too long
No one can sing better together than these two
6 years later and I still think of you often...
Its not easy to write a song this way. It takes lot of courage and momentum, feelings and trust.. to me its a song of two friends who truly understand one another, but also in A pause' falling in love with each other, but belong to different Hearts. Its pure art.
its easy when its stolen melody..lmao.
Well said .
Poor Man's Guitar plenty of songs have similar melodies. Big deal
@@poormansguitar5471 stolen? What do mean?
I am told that my friend, the late Rev. Michael Hayashi, was listening to this song when he passed away. He transitioned to the Buddha's Pure and Joyous land at the age of 52, having lost a struggle with stomach cancer.
2021 and I’m still sad they never performed this live 😢
How does this video only have a little over 500,000 views? What a shame. Such a beautiful song.
Exactly! This a beautiful song
Exactly! This a beautiful song
Heading for 3-and-a-half mill now. Some people don't forget amazing.
6 mil now
6.5 million today/August 6,2023
2022. I miss them, too. Dust to dust made me so motivated to sing...so beautiful song!
Man. This video gives me all sorts of feels knowing they're not together anymore.
I walked the hot streets of Vegas early in the morning, singing this to myself over & over again. Love to anyone who’s been lonely too long
My loved one sent me this song in 2016, we broke up this year but I still love her and wish her well. We don't talk, we don't see each other but I am so grateful I've experienced love in my life, even if it was temporary I still appreciate it deeply. I will always love you, Dominika.
So sorry that they are not still together. This is classical, it will go down in art history.
12 midnight + listening to dust to dust + rainy night = perfection
you know what would make this EVEN better? if it was real and live. *bursts into brokenhearted tears*
"Carrie", the movie remake based on the Stephen King novel brought me here. I'm in love with this song. And the scene where Carrie and Tommy dance together is just adorable ❤️ #goals
Me too
SAME! it was so emotional
Yeah that's the first time I heard it and I was in love
And then of course Carrie murders her whole school...
#goals?
If these aren't the deepest lyrics ever put to pen I don't know what is
Didn’t find you until watching Vampire diaries in 2020 and now find myself a62 year old woman lost so deep in your music and lyrics that I just cry knowing you split before I had ever heard the haunting sounds of Jean Paul white and Joy Williams ( The Civil Wars ) I love your voices singularly and will continue to listen to you both but would love to see and hear you as the duo before I die. Please just one concert that I can attend !!!!
There was a guy who introduced me to this song...he's gone, but this song remains with me forever. I miss him sometimes, especially when I listen to this song but that's okay I guess, life moves on....
these guys cannot bullshit me and say they aren't in love with each other.
the williams siblings are just amazing
Adore the sound of the guitar 🎸. Lovely. #JohnPaulWhite and #JoyWilliams are magnificent together. I so wish the #TheCivilWars were still a duo. 😊❤😊💖👍🎶🎹🎸🎹
Ahh how I miss civil wars 😭😭😭😭
Me too! 😭😭😭
im crying i miss you 😕
"We've been lonely, we've been lonely... too long" such a beautiful song!!!
what a shame that we won't be hearing new music from this superb musical group!
C'mon guys bite the bullet, settle your differences or agree to disagree. Just when it was getting good you give up. big grrr!
CIVIL WARS.... PLEASE COME BACK TOGETHER I MISS YOU 😢
Why are there no more songs? I used to listen to these two when I was at the university, I still do. But I would think these two would go on to do so much more. This is kind of sad, especially when I am down now.
I discovered this song last night after watching Carrie on Netflix. The prom scene touched my feeling. Wonderful and Sad.
April 2021 anyone? These two deserves a comeback🤩😭
9 years later 😭💖
This song exist 8 years ago & i just discover it today. Am I to late😞
You're not ;)
I hate them for breaking up! They most beautiful songs ever.
First listen. 0:00-hopeful, 0:20-tears in my eyes at the beauty. Thank you.
i miss you civil wars❤️🥺
I believe God is sometimes revealed to man through art. What these two have when they sing together comes from another place. I have really enjoyed what they have created as a duo.
I literally love how both of them seems like dancing while singing to their mics. And the way they look at each other.
Almost every night for several years, when our boys were ages 0-5 or so, we would play this song for them to sleep to... often in the car. I'll always cherish those memories and connect this song to those incredible years.
This song reminds me of the best lover I've ever had ! She was amazing in so many ways and never knew her true value...
smart phones and the crappy apps have destroyed CZcams..People don't bother to login and comment...This song deserves millions of views...Great tune...
The most beautiful song ever written ❤
im still here, i wish it would have ended so differently.
A beautiful wedding song. I havent changed my mind about it.
Jim Gieber yeah me too. i'll play this song on my wedding day :)
I don't think i've ever loved two voices together more then these guys
This song is so precious to me, it carries my hearts love to heaven , where my darling son Michael will one day be reunited with all his loved ones. I love you for ever Michael. ❤️ Mum
We've been lonely...
Oh my God...
Yes
Yes Yes Yes I get it...pause the damn video as she walks by...don't let her go. Do you think I miss anything these days!!! A lovely wedding song. Thank you from the body of our hearts.
I miss them singing together!! The Civil Wars got me through some really tough times. They were all I listened to when I was going through my divorce. I'd get so lost into their music that I'd forget the world for a little while. Just like this song. =)) I love everything about Dust to Dust. It's so easy to understand because the emotion is so real. This is pure art.
I'm still mourning.
Carrie :(
Listen and cry from this beauty 16.06.2022 ❤️
Here in 2023.. got introduced to this beautiful song a few months back.. it's a gem 💎...
I dnt know but I am just attached to these two voices, the lyrics.. it is beyond imagination..❤
Perfect!!
"Dust To Dust"
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely, too long
Oh, you're acting your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely, too long
Let me in the wall
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn it down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely, too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You're like a mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely, too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely, too long
Every time I watch this video, it breaks me a little inside. I hope their friendship mends soon.
Best song to describe loneliness
4am still fantasising bout that one girl. damn this song doesn't get old 🍷
How under rated are they though? I mean, they make such amazing music!
*they were
Luke Sorensen ???
CoolBean FanGirl They broke up... the band did. :(
Oh really?!?! That sucks!
Yeah, they "Made" amazing music : (
They clearly fell deep with each other. They also both had established families, so good on them for breaking apart the band.
There are so many descriptive words that The Civil Wars embodies; empathy, musicality, passion ...
Am I the only one that got the 20 years reference from this video??
"Ugh" I'm obsessed ❤️😩😍
A short tenure for this great music duo, but forever lasting influence and joy to us all. Will forever miss The Civil Wars.
Daisy Jones And The Six vibes y'all!!!
The intimacy between them Oh my God!
#JoyWilliams #JohnPaulWhite the sound of your voices together is incredible. And, I love the beautiful sound of the guitar and piano. This is simply a gorgeous song. 😊❤😊❤
This is one of my favorites and I've listened to it a million times and seen the video... And yet, I only just now saw the possible storyline that this song is about them, about their discord. How they've been lonely in this duo ever since the discord, how they want to be let into each other's walls to get back what they had, and yet understanding that there are scars, that they did their time...
I am beginning to see that this could be one of the songs through which they communicated what they couldn't just come out and say.
amsaric That's a good theory. I also thought they could be talking about their marriages and going through a rough patch. Joy has not been shy about admitting that at the time when their hiatus was announced, her marriage had been suffering greatly. As to why she has not disclosed, but it's her right to not do so. However, I do believe they had a genuine chemistry that was pretty much out of this world. I'm sure that can't be easy on any marriage, to see your supposed other half connecting so spectacularly on that type of level with someone that isn't you. I believe they could of had an affair, but also believe they could of not had one and that's why they stopped working together. To not cheat on their spouses and preserve the families they had. If that were/is the case, that's pretty honorable and they sacrificed a huge chunk of themselves for their families.
I don't know about "affair", exactly. Connection? HELL yes! Attraction? Hard to deny. Physical intimacy? Well, they toured small venues WITHOUT her husband for a while...so the possibility of a slip-up exists. AND, she'd been married for like 8 or 9 years without having a kid, then toured with JP...BOOM! Pregnant. And now no kids since the break up.
And in, "I Wish You'd Been the One That Got Away", she flat out states she wanted to go back to when the attraction was only mental, only potential...indicating that at some point, at least once, it became physical reality.
So, they did the honorable thing, sad as that is for those of us who loved them together.
i can't watch this video!! I feel like I'm intruding on something incredibly private, specially when they're singing and looking at each other.
That's how I feel just listening to this song- I almost get embarrassed bc it's so intimate. But I love it.
Wow. This comment is brilliant!
this comment wins the Internet. I agree completely. what a wonderful way to put it!
Haha thanks! Coming back to this months later- first time I've got so many likes on CZcams!
Nothing has replaced this duo for me yet... dont think it will be replaced
One of the most beautiful songs in this earth....
So long The Civil Wars. Thank you for 'All your perfectly delivered lines'
