Poison & Wine written by John Paul White, Joy Williams & Chris Lindsey
You only know what i want I you to I know everything you don't want me to your mouth is poison your mouth is wine you think your dreams are the same as mine
I don't love you but I always will I don't love you but I always will I don't love you but I always will I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back well the less I give the more I get back your hands can heal, your hands can bruise I don't have a choice, but I'd still choose you
I don't love you but I always will I don't love you but I always will I don't love you but I always will I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will I don't love you but I always will I don't love you but I always will
I always will I always will I always will I always will
Poison & Wine is a musical snapshot about the dichotomy of love - that while it can be the thing that destroys you, it can also be the very same thing that beckons and builds you. This song was our attempt at being as brutally honest about the dangerous and beautiful process of knowing and being known. (-Joy Williams, The Civil Wars)

----- Long Time Gone Written by Joy Williams, John Paul White & T Bone Burnett
Look out Ma, look out Pa, look at that horizon Something's out there kickin' up dust, oh it's comin' fast Look out Sister, look out Brother, river's gonna be risin' Somethin' we been waitin' for, oh, it's here at last
It's been a long, long time comin' It's been a long, long time gone
Let's all sing, let's all dance, stomp our feet in that red clay Come on out of those old brown fields Watch 'em turn to gold, watch 'em turn to gold
It's been a long, long time comin' It's been a long, long time gone It's been a long, long time comin' It's been a long, long time gone
The wait is over, winds have changed And not a moment too soon We've hoped and prayed for a single drop of rain And now a storm's comin' through
It's been a long, long time comin' It's been a long, long time gone It's been a long, long time comin' It's been a long, long time gone20 Years | The Civil Wars | OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEOTheCivilWars2012-12-11 | The Civil Wars held a contest for filmmakers to create the official video for the song, "20 Years" from their debut album, Barton Hollow. This video, from South African production company, Innerview Productions, was the winner. Here's what the creators of the video had to say:
"Under the apartheid regime in South Africa many Native South Africans were dispossessed of their land and were forced to leave their families to earn a living and pay taxes by working as cheap labour in the mines across the country. They were banned by law from bringing wives and children with them to the mines as they were considered "superfluous appendages" Many of these families were torn apart for extended periods of time, many died of mining related diseases, while some returned to their families after years or even decades apart.
The video depicts a Xhosa newlywed couple whose lives are separated for economic and political reasons as the husband leaves to work in the mines to sustain his family financially."
Thanks to Innerview Productions and all the other participants, and thanks to Genero.tv for partnering on the contest!

This video, from filmmaker Jack Strain at Infinite Landscape, was the runner up. Here's what the creator of the video had to say:
"I was inspired by the minimalism and mystery of the track and created a video that focuses on and tells a story of two people through objects rather than actions.
The title '20 Years' and lyrics about waiting led me to play with time distortion, things growing or rotting as these two characters change and move toward their eventual meeting."

On November 13, two-time Grammy award-winning duo The Civil Wars will release the audio and video from their acclaimed "VH1 Unplugged" performance exclusively on iTunes (Sensibility Music). The 7-track EP features duo partners John Paul White and Joy Williams (who is the first known musician to perform pregnant on "Unplugged") and includes material from the band's RIAA certified Gold album, Barton Hollow, as well as their song "Kingdom Come" from The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12. The release also includes never-before-released renditions of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and Portishead's "Sour Times" (see below for complete track-listing).
This latest release adds to an already widely successful few years for the duo, who won "Best Folk Album" and "Best Country Duo/Group Performance" at 54th annual GRAMMY Awards and "Duo/Group of the Year" at the 2012 Americana Music Association's Honors & Awards. The band also performed 60 seconds of the album's title track on the live GRAMMY Award's broadcast. The band is also nominated for two CMA Awards— for "Vocal Duo of the Year" and "Musical Event of the Year" (for their collaboration with Taylor Swift on "Safe & Sound" from The Hunger Games soundtrack).
In addition to performing on "VH1 Unplugged," the band has also appeared on "Good Morning America," "Late Show with David Letterman," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," "Austin City Limits," BBC's "Later...with Jools Holland," "A Prairie Home Companion," "Morning Becomes Eclectic" and three times on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Moreover, the music video for "Barton Hollow" is currently featured on VH1's "Pop Up Video" program. After taking a short summer hiatus following the birth of Williams' son, the duo will resume touring this fall, including appearances at San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and the Austin City Limits Music Festival. See reverse for complete details.
