The Civil Wars Interview BBC Breakfast 2012

[@Davross410]

The little burst of Billie Jean in the middle of ths clip is possibly the finest thing ever to have appeared on BBC Breakfast. Just wow.

[@beefyburt]

Just makes me cry seeing this again. So perfect together. Or so it seemed.

[@TheCatBilbo]

'Barton Hollow' is an instant classic - it feels like it was written in the 19th, or early 20th Century and was sung by chain gangs! Brilliant.

[@andrewmcp7563]

Just stumbled into this feeling nostaligic, and that Billy Jean segment gave me goosebumps. These two were made to sing together, even if they no longer do.

[@hsgjkhagljkh]

So heart-breaking to think in a few months they'd be over. But seriously...that touring schedule sounded exhausting. And you can see how John Paul and Joy react differently talking about it. Joy seems very enthusiastic about continuing the tour, even with a newborn baby in tow. John Paul looks less enthused...which makes sense as he's more laidback and his family is in Alabama. I wish they had found a peaceful compromise for their goals and priorities.

[@Saltee]

"here's barton hollow" OOOOOOOOoOOOo *ends*

[@luannebowling4395]

Beautiful ❤

[@MrAcousticben]

I discovered these people about five minutes ago and im already obsessed!!

[@Izobel24Stewart]

Oh God, there's no words how I love these people :)

[@libertyp2186]

how soon after this interview did they split up? bit of foreshadowing at 6:34

[@Lunaa_613]

Some of you guys are reading into it too much. Seeing what you want to see lol. John Paul always looks like that, expression that's kinda sad and pondering at the same time.

[@MicahLathrop]

They complement each other so well - hoping for a reunion soon. Great writers and singers.

[@KayamoureNoelle]

i had to pause mid-song, because my breath is taken away, and i almost died! and i wanted to say, that i am in love with these folks. they are nothing short of fantastically tantalizing and amazing. end of story.

[@svartsjokolade]

The sound effects give a whole new meaning to ''a haunting performance''.

[@Rav3n.h3art]

The way he looked away when she was talking about her husband

[@ariatara]

+Nicole Nelson And when the interviewer said "Congratulations", he spontaneously smiled and nodded, then he caught himself and killed the smile... then smiled again. That all goes down at 5:10 and it really made me wonder...

[@ziia_zoozoo5231]

I mean she's always looking at him... And he looks back as soon as she turns away....😘😘😘😘

[@NaVaRoNe1987]

"well be responsible for a split..." oh the irony @6:33

[@iamsultana]

There is just so much mystique around this pair. Many of their performances, interviews and others bits contain so much foreshadowing. I even find it curious that they chose to sing Billie Jean here, a song by a man about a woman who loves him but is carrying "not his son".

[@sidekicksclazer22]

WOAH. It got so surreal when they began singing.

[@tanjida2008]

Lost for words at their singing...like always! Love this duo!

[@joshuaaewallen]

I really like these two! What a great musical duo.

[@rosepena712]

They're definitely soulmates, I predict they will get back together in five to seven years

[@denverdubois5835]

Haha well, they did do that re-recording of Safe and Sound with Taylor Swift this year, so you were kinda correct. I don't think it'll lead to a real reunion though.

[@cassie8594]

"If people spend 5 minutes with us they'd know it differently." It's special but I believe they're loyal to their family after all.

[@NareNix]

I always though that JPW was completenly in love with TCW project, but with time, Joy wanted something more comercial. In an interview he said that passed two years in completly silence without working in music or even singing, and make you think how much affected him, I definetly think it was worst for him than for Joy.

[@ParaHo1]

I really hope to god they don't break up and they come back and tour in the uk again!!!! They cancelled their tour a couple of days before i was going to see them and i want to see them live at least once! AMAZING!!!!!

[@TheHummingOwl]

Brother and sister...? Ya. Sure.

[@tgide]

They are AMAZING in concert!!!

[@TheMgJM]

love to see them present the news, would be epic

[@ffantasia24]

Her baby is one lucky bub to be in such close proximity of such extraordinary musical talents.

[@shaynalemay8516]

There's no way those 2 weren't in love with eachother on some level.

[@1955Moshe]

fabulous duo. I saw them at the Round House last year. Great concert. The next morning they announced they were splitting. Say it ain't so!

[@PjD0150]

Didn't realise they came on breakfast or that Suzanna often pulls quite strange faces. Love their album and their performance there. They need to backing just a guitar and their voice.

[@MajorAlenko]

ugh I want to see them live! But the fall shows that are near me are sold out :'( Hopefully they tour again. They only play small venues though.

[@cozyemeralds]

I love joy's laugh

[@jaketate8329]

THEY CURSED THEM BY JOKING ABOUT A SPLIT

[@reprosser]

So great!

[@64wing]

man, the room suddenly got bigger when he started playing or something...lol

[@sadieshatterly]

Ha they`re fab! My ring tone is Barton Hollow :) Going to see them next Tuesday!

[@Alambamabomnshell]

Jacki Donovan Hi! I know this is an old comment but did you get to see them and if so how was it?

[@DanielS10291]

in 2007 in sweeney todd and most likely has performed vocals in his band p...which has been going since the 90s

[@dumbmonsterJ]

they're so good together (singing)..

[@HavMetal]

I like you guys too much (brazil here) muito bons!

[@larainadelsur214]

hahahaha i love it when he star singing "ave maria" and they stop him XD

[@jaquezuel24]

Danggg they're. Good

[@tanjida2008]

Is it just me or does anybody else want the Civil Wars to do a cover of Ave Maria since John Paul sang the title?!

[@JodieRoxSox99]

I have fallen in love with their music.

[@ANGELSVEN]

Their voices sound like two pieces of double sided sticky tape stuck together. Fab!

[@tamirahamam]

Right, but, the look on John Paul's face when she says she's expecting.

[@cristinajoy4675]

I love joy's laugh!!!!

[@dramanurse]

congrats on the baby!!!

[@ShatteredDiscoBall]

Anyone else notice John Paul's glum expession when she was talking about her child?

[@FreaKyRandoM]

I wonder why people think they're a couple..XD No really they start singing together and my heart drops. Truly their voices do something for my soul, beautiful voices I hope they never break up. Their talent together is just too good mess with.

[@Lolo_Ro]

here's Barton Hollow. Ooooh. haha most beautiful 3 seconds

[@Gbos1404]

I didn't even notice that she was pregnant until they mentioned it.

[@allissa8611]

So glad I'm not the only one who caught that.

[@TheFriendlyYoYo]

Can't help but think his face turns a bit "darker" when she talks about her husband and their future child at 5:07

[@Justforfrolics]

'We'll have the tour in the summer'.... he knows it's not happening, look at the face. Miss them.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

THEY'RE COMING BACK BABY!

[@lilmizzy2008]

thats not johnny depp but johnny depp is in a band! and originally he pursued music before his acting career! :)

[@awesomlessness]

Shaun Morgan from Seether is like John Paul"s evil twin.

[@emptyLulz]

I'm not sure how often the guy working the sound gets to play around on the BBC Breakfast show.

[@Joe22c]

It's like we finish each others' sandwiches.

[@Oharris995]

That's one short clip of their work... 0:46

[@lacouerfairy]

Love their Billie Jean.

[@annesampson7538]

I adore them together. They are like soulmates. It is a shame they broke up.

[@In_time]

Anne Sampson she’s divorced now..who knows 🤞🏻

[@Lauryn1998]

I knew she was pregnant, but I totally forgot, and didn't notice at all until they brought it up.. Gosh.

[@SJB-cm7jg]

John Paul White and Jack White could be brothers! lol

[@sorch_]

oh john loves his guitar! XD

[@doblajesj]

same here

[@iareme88]

he could do a killer Jack Sparrow cosplay

[@espsir]

needs more reverb!

[@FerchoHeredia]

They should sing TRAIN SONG

[@louishodge88]

Even Charlie got a lick of reverb then...

[@MoosHueting]

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson...

[@shawngill7019]

this explains hawk nelson band but you should of names the band after a nelson you must of called it hawk because you were singing to find me

[@tones_tony]

"heres barton hollow" OO anyway..

[@TheJack0297]

I want his beard so badly

[@melrec27]

What about a US tour?

[@thomashazlewood4658]

Why does no one ever mention that he looks like Johnny Depp?

[@schnikeys]

wish american media could be more like this

[@myears100]

3:07 for a quick but great cover

[@Liucilla]

OMG I KNOW! whew.

[@TheJanapple]

[@SingingBird75]

...I miss their southern accents when i hear this. Haha

[@A2Z11tree]

Whoa, the first shot of them I thought it was Johnny Depp lol

[@DWHarper62]

I think they need more reverb...

[@jamesmccormick211]

I don't think the male host even realized it was Billie Jean.

[@BitchTheNamesAshley]

Johnny Depp has a twin and it's John Paul.

[@shawngill7019]

mother are you related to betty white

[@DTL0201]

I LOVE THE CIVIL WARS!!!! don't you think the guy kind of look like Johnny Depp?

[@pablohanc]

He does actually. thats not him but he's supposed to be decent.

[@dinaheena9426]

When did Johnny Depp become a singer?

[@Oharris995]

The sound guy at the BBC is a total goon. ¬¬

[@jordanaug81]

I dont think thes hosts heard the MJ.

[@rachelleighsmith]
