It really is a shame they couldn't coexist artistically. They had amazing chemistry and such incredibly haunting harmony. Quite simply one of the most talented and special duos I've ever seen. I love their time together, the amazing music they gifted the world with, and really really miss them.

[@JC-rr2kc]

Yeah, perfect example of a special moment with someone and how they were able to share it with so many of us to make it more special. We all compromise in some way, shape, or form until we cant any longer. The genius is rising to the occasion to part ways with class. They basically said even a successful music career cannot mend this break they have. I think people cannot understand that and that's why people have to make it so scandalous by saying it was an affair or something deceitful.

[@carollong7956]

Joy has said in more than one interview that online rumors and speculation, such as this comment, were a key part of their break-up. The pressure on their marriages was made worse, on top of the difficult touring schedules could impose. I miss them together, too.

[@deilainep]

Why did they actually break up?

[@Vanadah]

I read on Reddit from someone claiming they knew them in person was because Joy felt overshadowed by JP and felt heldback, wanted to go solo, but JP wanted to continue being a duo as it was successful compared to his solo years. Different ambitions, lots of bitterness, and ended up splitting. Also the person claimed the whole being together was an act they enjoyed, their spouses knew of the act too.

[@cosmicgoddess5085]

@@Vanadahthis doesn’t make much sense, Joy should’ve been grateful for the success of the group since she wasn’t widely known prior to this duo either. Not sure I believe that she would want to go solo so early on in their success.

[@meghanmcneill5365]

@@mcharleymiller1291 I'm a huge fan and have watched, read, and listened to everything I can get my hands on. From what I have gathered every source swears it was "differences of ambition" blah blah blah. My theory is that one or both of them developed feelings and they had to shut the band down to keep their marriages. JP especially seemed really dedicated to his wife when he thanked her during their last Grammy speech (where Joy was noticeably absent). He also didn't thank Joy at all which seemed so odd. Like could you really hate someone so much over differences of ambition? Although I have seen in interviews where JP and Joy talk about being "opposites" of each other. I also saw another interview where there was awkward tension and Joy "joked" about negatives coming into her life when she met JP. JP also said in an interview once that "If people spent 5 min with them -they'd realize they are NOT a couple". Joy also mentioned on a podcast she signed an NDA when they broke up. But maybe that is standard procedure when a band breaks up these days? While I do feel there was some element of romance between them I can only guess on to what extent. The only pinch of information I found alluding to a romantic relationship was in Joy's NPR where she says this, " But I do think that that was something that could be confusing, both for the audience and for me at times" in regards to marketing themselves to look like a couple. While this is really really vague she clearly states the lines between pretend and reality got blurred for her at least. Lastly, I want to add the disclaimer my theory is only my theory and I could be totally wrong. Maybe it's possible they are simply great at acting and looking in love with each other to pull the audience in? If so, it clearly worked on me. Anyway. I love talking about this band so thanks for asking :) They were my fav band and I am still mourning their split, but at least we still have the music they made even if there will never be any new material from them.

While the music is phenomenal, the video makes me so very sad. You can feel the tension between them. This isn't acting for the video. You can see the true emotion in their eyes. If you look at all of their earlier recordings the dynamics between them were completely different than what is presented here. They would smile at each other, they would interact playfully, there was a twinkle in their eyes, they actually LIKED each other. Clearly in this video stress and discord is abundant and sadly you can see the broken bond. So terribly sad that such an amazing duo had to part ways. But I want to thank them for what they have given us, it was their legacy in their time. God Bless them both for whatever the future holds.

[@prateekbiswas]

Very true, I wish they had worked something out...

[@AlwaysCrazyKindaLazy]

so true. you can feel the tension in the room with them...it almost brought me to tears for them. you can tell how real and raw these words and their emotions were still for them while making this video. i don't know how they did it. i would love to meet them in person. they seem like very strong people, it takes a very strong person to sing that openly for the sake of the music and still giving it all the passion of your soul like they do. amazingly beautiful.

[@krystina5599]

I think that may have been the tip of the iceberg, but I think it was more complex than that, way more. Something that is between them, that I'm sure we will never know. I do recall Joy singing as a guest lately. Wasn't half bad. But JP, lord that man, listening to him sing live Tip of my tongue from New Orleans, my world stops and goes on a musical not journey when he sings and plays guitar.

[@theasmrfiend]

Whether they were truly in love or it was just their onstage chemistry, there's no denying that this video is emotionally manipulative. Shot in B&W, the editing of capturing them at intense, introspective and critical moments.. The video uses the two of them to tell the story of the song.. And I'm imagining they agreed to the portrayal. So who really knows.

[@meghanmcneill5365]

Totally agree. Joy admitted they leaned into the "Are they a couple or not?" for their marketing strategy. And while part of me thinks they had a torrid love affair I feel like they could also just be great performers who know how to look at each other to captivate the audience the entire time. And here I am over 10 years later still watching their music videos wondering about it. 😅

How can you listen to their music and admire them as artists and think that was hate? There's no question that these two fell in love. As a musician, I can tell you that the intimacy of singing together is incredible and I have had to stop singing with some because of the confusion that results. Whether or not they went too far, they are breaking up for their families, and it's hard enough without having to look at each other. My heart breaks for them, and for all fans. It's not hate- it's loss.

If there was ever an award for a song that truly epitomized “three chords and the truth,” this could never be bested.

Seriously how can anyone DISLIKE this video, this song, this band!?!?! It blows my mind that there are people who can't see the magic that happened here, even with how they ended...

This video is so beautiful but eerie. I’m honestly surprised they released it. The nature of the song perfectly reflects what is apparent in the video. The tension between them is crazy and there is an apparent rift between them as well. Perhaps the two of them really do wish they were the “one who got away” 😥😥

Ravenswood brought me here

❤❤❤Years later and I'm still regretting not seeing them live. 😢😢😢

[@lileyfrye8206]

You left your fans with only memories of how great you were when you were together but you disbanded and I’m still saddened by it!

This studio version is so raw and beautiful but so filled with sorrow and resentment at the same time.
