The Civil Wars - Forget Me Not

3:02 is quite haunting. Such a shame :-(

Still listening in 2019! Will always be forever faithful too these two beautiful souls!

My forever Louise Nightingale.......yes the only one

Cool can hear her feet walking

Pretty colors

Guitar iout of tune

For some reason, I think of Gram and Emmy Lou.

I think this is one of my top 3 favourite songs of theirs. I love them ALL, but Forget Me Not is a sweet positive gem in the sea of hauntingly beautiful yet tragic melodies.I'd want this to be the song I dance to at my wedding if I ever get married.

the song is so beautiful!

I could not walk in those shoes let alone balance and walk on that rock wall

Here's the street view of the location of this performance. It's in Birmingham, Alabama, overlooking the area known as Southside and Downtown B'ham further to the north. I used to mow a lawn on this street. Very nice homes, with excellent views. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4978983,-86.7849689,3a,75y,58.21h,72.82t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_gPDnBjgCqYm7EBwkZMm3A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

Of all their videos, this is the one where it most seems that JP is singing directly to Joy. And vice versa, of course. Beautiful. Two very different people, I think, despite the supernatural vocal affinity they had. Hopefully they'll reconsider and work out some way to make some music together. This would make a lot of people very happy. And they'd probably get paid, too. As music pros, they should be able to figure it out.

You two sound really great <3 i love this.

lets get that guy an nd filter. i guess the knobs are too hard

i love this song.

oh good lord this is great.

very nice

böyle gıcık bir tipe böyle güzel bir ses ha.adil diilsin dünya

Kudzu......I don't miss that.

of course your playing has a lot to do with its - will be buying and recommending to friend

I love this song

love this song

This song is amazing! Everything is amazing! Loves from Turqie :D MashAllah

Why couldn't they just...be together? Ugh

They are gorgeous.

Why did they delete their old youtube channel/videos?? I can't find any of the old videos like this one :(

The Civil Wars would have worked out if these two had have met when they were both single

I'm sure that such beauty and love remains inside their souls and someday will revive their dreamy duo

She is just so talented and adorably scrumptious. And he is handsome, charming and so creative. This song is Perfection.  Me <3

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!!!!

Why is everyone so quick to play the cheating/sexual card? Why couldn't it be artistic differences? In the music industry when you begin to make a name for yourself you can go one of two directions... #1 - Follow the money and become a slave to a record label that dictates every aspect of your career while you are under contract... Or.... #2 - Stay true to yourself and your art. Is it not possible that they wanted to take different paths? Case in point, John Paul is still making music and Joy is........?

What's sd

Joy just released a beautiful full length album named Venus.

Watch the video again -- dude; these two were SO INTO one another the magic was palpable! I don't think either one of them and certainly not both are such good actors. Whether they actually had an ongoing affair ( that's where my money is) or it was never actually acted upon that volcanic passion for one another was the key to their artistry. I am SO SAD they couldn't get past it all and reconcile. They were by far the best duet EVER.

Just listened to it. Its pretty good actually. It's so obvious though that - if you listen to both her and John's new albums - they are not even close to being over each other... in whatever way apply.

So quick? Still returning to these videos years later, and still thinking there is NO distinction at all between their chemistry and their "art." It's almost voyeauristic to watch the adoration from her toward him and all of the just barely not touching, and his more shy giving into it .. I do not believe it's exaggerated or acted for the sake of a more interesting video.

Favourite flower💜 new favourite song💜

Anyone know here this video was filmed at?

+Mallory C yes!  I've been here and it's an awesome place to watch the sun set :) it's on Crest Road in Birmingham, AL.  It overlooks the city!

Just love how raw and unedited this video, and how carefree and beautiful the song is. These guys really need to get back together. No one compares to them.

You sure said that right!

Just discovered this group...then in the same beat found out they haven't been together for over a year. Relationship issues, sexual tension, or spouses intervention? Wish they would get back together. Fantastic sound.

I think it was more his side than her 's.

@Cliff Dunning explained here http://www.npr.org/2013/08/02/207981618/the-civil-wars-joy-williams-on-the-duos-fragile-bond

I just listened to Joy's interview, which was fascinating! Thank you for posting it!

Havn't heard anyone hotter

My favourite song of my favourite duo.

She's so graceful. I'd have fallen in that hole of bushes. :/

Xtermcuzdystrophy xxxxdxdzDdddddddszx Styx du x$

+Klare Moon same here I have no sense of balance

What if there are multiple takes where she fell in?

equinshadox maybe.

Lmao same XD

Beautiful! I love listening to them sing!

I wish you guys would make up, you make such beautiful music together and we all miss out. I had tickets to see you. Life is too short let go and make up!

I was planning on making an Ode to Remadora video, but I can't decide between Forget Me Not by The Civil Wars or This Life by John Paul White. :3

She makes me nervous in those heels.  LOL  

Bunlarda hep ayakta.

this never fails to get me. its one of the songs, and videos, that keeps me coming back when i need to come back down to earth.

They are absolutely amazing.

I absolutely LOVE this song. <3 I love the video, and how natural everything just.. is. It's wonderful. 

Forget Me not please

This breaks my heart...:(

their voices together always manage to give me chills. it's a shame they broke up so early in their career.

@Laura Donnell nope, she was married. I think it was jealousy of the wife of his.

@Laura Donnell That's all I can think of. Matters of the heart supposedly hurt the most, right? I mean if we can feel it, it's gotta be there, right?

OMG SHOE :o this comment predates your videos. nice to find you out in the youtube comment section

I always thought they looked kind of wistful when they looked at each other, guess that's why

Aaron tally they're both separately married already.

I really like these guys, it doesn't happen often but they inspired me to write a little song about them. John and Joy

Cute as Spring Flowers !! Awesome Acoustics !!!

They're perfect.

I want her shoes.

Me too!

THEY LOOK SO FRIGGIN HAPPY

Love it

And Bam!! A music video!

Man, her husband was the manager...Im so damn curious as to what happened.

God forbid u use a bad word here. OMG. They r perfect together, but met under the social auspices of our domesticated premise. I listen to all kinds of music, but when I see them together live, it makes me cry and I'm a guy. Pretty power stuff.

They don't know they're meant for each other...

I don't get why they broke up/are on "hiatus". They look like such great friends. But if I didn't know they weren't together, i would think they were

jfc, that was gorgeous! Why can't they play this stuff on the radio? Well, actually it's probably good that they don't because I'd end up closing my eyes and swaying and the next thing you know I'm dead

Isn't she the most perfect BARBIE DOLL

They're both married to other people with children, but it's a nice thought.

Great suggestions in the about section! LOVE Poison and Wine and Barton Hollow I think these 3 are my favorites!

I've never heard a duo more perfectly matched. Their voices just flow together!

Soul mates....Those two! <3

johnny cash and june carter reborn!

This reminds me of my late hubby and I. We were just like them! Well they're better! Lol

I'm the only freak that memorized what they said in the beginning right?

Hey everyone! My sister and I are starting a folky duo with ukulele and vocals, and we just did a cover of one of Hillsong United's tunes "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)", and we'd really appreciate if you gave it a listen! It's on my channel! :) Thanks so much!

Awesome!! So precious! And those vocals were spot on.

I think so, too...atop Red Mountain!

Wait! Where are the crazy video angles and the 14 instruments and electronics on their voices and the sex??? I thought that was a requirement for today's music. In disbelief!!!

Their new album is AWESOME!! I Just got it, and I am in love!!!

Yeah....they're still broken up.....sad sad time

Yeah...she's definitely giving him blowies on the side.

Ummmm.....people.....they aren't a couple and as a duo they are broken up for the time being. Regardless, THIS is the civil wars I miss and long for.

They didn't. Joy had an interview recently and she said that they fought and had to cancel their tour but they came together and recently released a new album.They're not broken up, just were fighting

So jealous

This is a wonderful expression of love.

He must be really tall or she must be really small

They are back together. Their new album comes out in august. And they've just released a song called "The one that got away"

I can't believe they broke up (as a band, not a couple, obviously).

Wouldn't this be a fun song to play at a wedding?

walking on a ledge in heels is talent enough. Then you go an add a voice like that.

Classy.

I am a metal head, and this is what u call pure talent !

i want to raid her body

KUDZU all over that downward hill. HAS TO BE in the Deep South they recorded this one.

I love the bugs. Just makes the whole vibe of the song come to life.

haha Shall you get a prize?

that great view!!!!

All it took was one listen to this song and my boyfriend and I knew that this was our song.. These two are amazing.. My favorite artists hands down..
