It’s annoying that I fell in love with this duo on the same year that they broke up.  Fate sure knows how to make me feel old and outdated.

The Civil Wars were (huhu) a duo from 2008 to 2014.  They won four Grammy awards.  More importantly (because this is my blog), they won my heart with Poison & Wine.

The duo that is Joy Williams and John Paul White evoked the most natural and conflicting emotions that come with (insert life event here).  But seriously, I absolutely fell in love with this song because of its lyrics:

Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don’t love you but I always will
Oh I don’t love you but I always will
Oh I don’t love you but I always will

Oh, don’t we all?

Enjoy.  <3
