#THECIVILWARS #THECIVILWARS Listening to these lyrics, reminds me of how special the professional relationship was between these two. They wrote awesome songs together. It's unfortunate they could not resolve their differences. We might never get additional music, but they left us two great albums of music. Music has lost a fabulous duo 😀👍👍👍💜💚🧡💖❤️💙💛
For some reason, it took me well over two years listening to the song to actually figure out that it’s a worship song lol they literally say Jesus’ name in the song and it just never clicked
Hearing them singing together and having it sound like before their differences got in the way gives me goosebumps. Just them singing together at all gives me goosebumps
+Powernetwork I feel your pain.But (pedantry alert) by the time of the series (not to mention the movie), Mal had very explicitly become a hardcore atheist.Not to say he wouldn't appreciate the music per se -- but not as a hymn or prayer. (End pedantry alert; as you were)
John Paul White performed in my town last year - he came into the crowd for the last song and it was unreal - also caught his guitar pick from the stage :)
Yeah this, and "Oh Henry" and "I had me a girl" I keep listening to over and over. These guys ARE (I'm not gonna say were cuz I refuse) the real deal. A gift to music and to the ear.
Oh, the desert dreams of a river That will run down to the sea Like my heart longs for an ocean To wash down over me. Oh, won't you take me from this valley To that mountain high above? I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love. Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance, Just to find pure love's embrace Like an orphan longs for his mother. May you hold me in your grace. Won't you take me from this valley To that mountain high above? I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love. Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind That will flow 'neath her wings. Like a voice longs for a melody, Oh, Jesus carry me. Won't you take me from this valley To that mountain high above? I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love. I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love.
Finally they recorded in the studio just like they sing it live!!! LOVE IT, im glad they included it in the album! one of my favorite songs ever :) BRAVO @thecivilwars !!!
They have been broke up for like 4 years and still hurts man they were a class act unbelievable talent the both of them every song the wrote and sang was a masterpiece
This song reminds me of the city. Last year during the summer I found their album at starbucks and bought it one day before work. Fell in love with this song. For the whole summer when I would walk downtown in the heat, I would listen to this song, and it made me feel like I was in a movie. Especially when I would sit out on the patio of the starbucks building and it was overlooking the waterfront of the city, with all the boats and cruise ships docked. I can't explain how it made me feel like I was in a movie but it did. I guess because it has that beautiful atmospheric tone to it that you would hear in movies, and it ends up not just bringing out the character of the movie, but the scenery also. Everytime I listen to this song now, I think of the summer, and the city and how truly wonderful it was. I Hope to get back there one day. I was so sad that I was unable to find them before they broke up. What a wonderful treasure they are, and I will always cherish their music!
Oh, won't you take me from this valley To that mountain high above? I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love. Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance, Just to find pure love's embrace Like an orphan longs for his mother. May you hold me in your grace. Won't you take me from this valley To that mountain high above? I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love. Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind That will flow 'neath her wings. Like a voice longs for a melody, Oh, Jesus carry me. Won't you take me from this valley To that mountain high above? I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love. I will pray, pray, pray Until I see your smiling face. I will pray, pray, pray To the one I love.
Civil Wars ; what a duet ! Have not heard any thing even miles close to this when it comes to singing... Even BARTON HOLLOW number is some different level of melody all together ... I pray for you both to come over the differences ...
+Nick Bishop Probably not -- but you never know; stranger things have happened.Sooner or later, the money might get attractive enough, and with enough time, they might get past... the late unpleasantness.
I have discovered this song recently through the "Running Mates". Congratulations, very beatiful song and video. I love the harmonies, the poetry of the lyrics and the happines of the music. Definitely a masterpiece. Kind Regards from Argentine!
The Civil Wars performed beautifully this song. Love it, and the pictures are unique of Alabama. They deserved to be honored for this song. Just praying that they do not brake up the duo. Their voices a beautiful together.
This song is just PERFECT! They did it so many times in live and I was scared to hear the recording one but it's the same singing as the live's!! I love it!! And the video is beautiful, I can't wait April 6th!!!!!
just amazing love them; this may sound morbid but this is a good funeral song as they walk down the aisle of the church in the end outside to the hearse or during the burial might help to lift ppl spirits up a little
I may be a Hellenic pagan who has devoted my life to Apollo and Artemis and dosnt belive in the Christian faith but this song just is so gorgeous in the vocals and the guitar it is so gorgeous. And I will say a lot of Christian music is beautiful. And I hope everyone has an amazing night or day and blessed be💕
+Ashleigh Greaves Can't speak for John Paul, but Joy is strongly identified as a Christian, and came out of the Christian music world before hooking up (as it were) with JP in The Civil Wars.
Barton Hollow is still rooted in Christian themes of a sinner that feels he can't be saved. Not like a blasphemous song or anything lol. They've collobarated with other Christian artists on the album Mercyland Hymns, as well as released a cover of You Are Munich Sunshine. I would call them a Christian Band but some of their music is clearly influenced by the Christian faith.
2019 and here i am listwning to this song and adore it , its ashame that they broke up cuz music like this most lukely wont be played again . I like country/pop music and i dont like telling people they will make fun of me but idk anymore , i live it to much
_This woman's voice is liquid passion_
The fact that this band broke up is possibly one of the greatest losses in this type of music.
Speed metal?
Hey I’m
Absolutely.
I agree. Why kills me is they are alive and well. Imagine the music they could make if they reunited?!
@@dianejohnson9904 right. It’d be amazing ❤️. I’d like them to be a band again.

“Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance just to find pure love’s embrace”
Gets me every time, man
#THECIVILWARS #THECIVILWARS Another outstanding effort from #JoyWilliams #JohnPaulWhite aka #TheCivilWars. I enjoy this enchanting music 😀👍👍👍💜💚🧡💖❤️💙💛
Dang, I want to sing this at church with someone. Such a great message in a beautiful song.
Olivia Sanborn same!!
Our church band played this & I’d never heard it before. The harmonies are incredible!!!
I do too
For some reason, it took me well over two years listening to the song to actually figure out that it’s a worship song lol they literally say Jesus’ name in the song and it just never clicked
Hearing them singing together and having it sound like before their differences got in the way gives me goosebumps. Just them singing together at all gives me goosebumps
They complete each other. I'm still heartbroken over their breakup. ='(
I'll never get over it.

How did I never hear this song until this week?! Best harmonies I’ve ever heard.
Angelic!!!
This could really be a classic, covered by many. Do love the Civil Wars, despite their own personal civil war.
John Paul White performed in my town last year - he came into the crowd for the last song and it was unreal - also caught his guitar pick from the stage :)
Actually, I just heard this for the first time in church this morning, and my spirit is balanced!
Yeah this, and "Oh Henry" and "I had me a girl" I keep listening to over and over. These guys ARE (I'm not gonna say were cuz I refuse) the real deal. A gift to music and to the ear.
Praise the Lord. Here's to Him who has the ability to take me out from valley of the shadow of death.
Oh, the desert dreams of a river
That will run down to the sea
Like my heart longs for an ocean
To wash down over me.
Oh, won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love.
Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance,
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for his mother.
May you hold me in your grace.
Won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love.
Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will flow 'neath her wings.
Like a voice longs for a melody,
Oh, Jesus carry me.
Won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love.
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love.
The harmony....it's just... so beautiful
2:20 to 2:40 is musical artistry, I could never listen to it enough times... I'm just in love with them.
I knew which bit you meant before I checked the time stamp. That bit still gives me goosebumps 🖤
Finally they recorded in the studio just like they sing it live!!! LOVE IT, im glad they included it in the album! one of my favorite songs ever :) BRAVO @thecivilwars !!!
Heard this song in boot camp at church and had to hear it again after getting out ❤️
The acapella harmonies at about 2:20 are awesome. Pay attention! It is simply magnificient. Great job!
Beautiful! A song from the heart. No matter what you believe this song can touch you.
They have been broke up for like 4 years and still hurts man they were a class act unbelievable talent the both of them every song the wrote and sang was a masterpiece

I was so sad that I was unable to find them before they broke up. What a wonderful treasure they are, and I will always cherish their music!
Melanie Beck THEY BROKE UP?!
+Melanie Beck That's a beautiful remembrance.Thank you for sharing it here -- it definitely adds another little layer of depth to the track.

great cover of this song!! they also do amazingly!
Would like this song a thousand times if I could.
Amen, Praise the Lord
Listen to Barton Hollow by them.
It's a beautiful song, but I don't think they are Christians. Listen to Bartons Hollow. I think this is just metaphors from their southern culture.
+Ashleigh Greaves Can't speak for John Paul, but Joy is strongly identified as a Christian, and came out of the Christian music world before hooking up (as it were) with JP in The Civil Wars.
Barton Hollow is still rooted in Christian themes of a sinner that feels he can't be saved. Not like a blasphemous song or anything lol. They've collobarated with other Christian artists on the album Mercyland Hymns, as well as released a cover of You Are Munich Sunshine. I would call them a Christian Band but some of their music is clearly influenced by the Christian faith.
outstanding.....like always
The bridge is SO amazing.
This song describes me and where I come from!! They have great voices!!3333# ILoveit
I can't LIKE this video/song enough!!
ugh probably one of my favorite songs ever. i miss them so much ;----;
Great song!
I predict another grammy for this album that'll be two years in a row!!!!!!!!
The hair on the back of my neck just raises when I hear their harmony.
Great music
Beautiful song
This is amazingly beautiful.
Beautiful.
I might just have to sing this song at my church!
Love this song Amazing video and art work✌💙
Congrats with a Grammy! So happy you got it!
Beautiful
My new favorite song.
Totally obsessed with this song!! :)
I love this song
Congrats to The Civil Wars for their Grammy win for Best Country Duo/Group Performance!
This song is perfect for a little church in an old backwoods part of the south. Could easily go in a hymnal.
2019 and here i am listwning to this song and adore it , its ashame that they broke up cuz music like this most lukely wont be played again .
I like country/pop music and i dont like telling people they will make fun of me but idk anymore , i live it to much
love this so much
this. is. perfect.
