My dad bought my mum the gorgeous debut album that this beautiful track is from, Barton Hollow, for Christmas. They're a very well received duo who go by the name The Civil Wars and who who, in this song at least, are singing more about death than life. More about heartbreak than love. More about Hell than Heaven, "or somewhere in between"...
"It's life, it's death." What a factually accurate song. And stunningly lovely too.
