the civil wars

i was recently turned onto this band, The Civil Wars, an amazing duet composed of Joy Williams and John Paul White.

you will love this song, i promise.

Poison & Wine is a musical snapshop about the dicotomy of love - that while it can be the thing that destory syou, it can also be the very same thing that beckons and builds you. JP and I are both married, have been for several years now - and we got to talking one day about what a tug and pull our individual relationships can be. The longer you know someone - and the longer you allow someone to know you - the more the light and shadows inside each person become more vivid. This song was our attempt at beinga s brutally honest about the dangerous and beautiful process of knowing and being known. -Joy Williams, The Civil Wars
