This song must have some kind of additives. I've been listening to this over and over and over again, and I still can't get my mind over it. It's POISONous, in a sense that it kills my love for other songs, yet just like WINE, it calms my nerves. *See what I did there?*
In all seriousness, who named their band "The civil wars?" Kudos to Joy Williams and John Paul White. No, I didn't know them because of The Hunger Games or Taylor Swift. I knew them way back before they win Grammy Awards.
About the song: JW (Joy Williams) – Love has a way of ripping you apart just as much as it has a way of holding you together, and this piece is a gut-level-honest tug and pull of affection and affliction felt between two lovers.
Love is not just about affection. It's a choice of being present in the circle of affection, even though it burns out. Being in love is falling out of love with someone, yet deliberately choosing to stay. It's not a commitment, because commitment is based on understanding what ones are signed up for. It's love when you don't even know how to weigh the costs and benefits. It's intuitive, not predictable. While commitment is a pledge, love gives you options.
That's why Best-Friend-A didn't say anything when Best-Friend-B decided to date C even though A liked B so damn much. B and C loved each other after all.
That's why my mom didn't kick me out when I said I wanted a whole different direction in life.
That's why my dad works hard to provide.
Love rips you apart, and pull you back together. All in all, it proves its abilities to attract more opportunities and possibilities. Love never shuts you down.
