'She is a quitter, but i guess we're both quitting now' ... Wow this song is full of meaning -- so heart-breaking ...
Anyone else wondering if this is about Joy?...We love you and your beautifully haunting voice, Paul. Keep singing.
:(
Who else would it be - his wife? Haha. ha. ha. She is a total control freak. If this isn't about Joy - I'm a potato.
No. Leave it alone and enjoy the music. Their lives are not your personal soap opera.
I saw her
Drink it down 'till it's gone
(Success? Choosing the limelight over him?)
Oh well,
There's always a second time around
(Pick up the pieces and try again..)
Aubz seems pretty clear to me. One of her songs after band split was the good woman song... the story is pretty obvious. What an incredible duo they were.
I will forever love the Civil Wars and the two albums they blessed us with but I have also come to realize John Paul really made the Civil Wars. I adore Joy's beautiful voice and miss hearing them together but I will forever love John's music far more. His voice and lyrics alone make a genre of its own. As long as he has a guitar, his voice can take you anywhere.
I feel the same. They sounded incredible together but his solo songs are beautiful. He just makes absolute magic with that voice and that guitar. Every song, every cover, is pure gold.
@@sktzmplg Could not agree more
Me Three, He made the civil wars and I don't miss them as a duo, I like him much much more.
He sounds even better live. If that’s even possible. The first time i heard his voice live, i cried.
great to hear some new music from him.
But I really miss the civil wars
This song talks to me. It's about an old flame that never really dies, even when you really want it go away. "Those old butterflies are eating me alive". If my interpretation is correct and it's really about the feeling of being in love with someone who is maybe out of your reach or isn't good for you so you stay away, then JP found a brilliant way to put it.
I don't know how youtube's algorithm led me here but I'm glad it did
John Paul shares his deep perspective, he needs not layer music or vocals, he is up front and writing from a hidden space. Im always so impressed and taken away. Im thrilled to of gotten a ticket for Denver on May 10, 2017...What a privlidge to spend an evening with this master of music
He played this at the debut concert and it was magical. Everyone in attendance knew they had just witnessed something special.
Simply great!
This literally made me cry. His voice, the lyrics, his performing...the feels... Everything.
Ice, water
Drink it down 'till it's gone
I saw her
Drink it down 'till it's gone
Oh well,
There's always a second time around
So bitter
In my heart and in my mouth
She's a quitter
But I guess we're both quitters now
Oh well,
There's always a second time around
It was hard to breathe
She was holding me
Now she's gone and I can't get no air
Those old butterflies they haven't died
'Cause they're eating me alive in there
Please, black leaf
Show me where you took my love
Please, hurry
This whole world ain't enough
Oh well,
There's always a second time around
Oh well,
There's always a second time around.
i don't have words to describe how beautiful this is
I fall in love more every time
i know, Anna. He gives me chills. That voice.
As an old straight male, I gotta confess to a bit of a crush on the guy myself. That voice.
beautiful. . just wonderful JPW.. you should be so proud of what you have accomplished. Your words to these songs are truly breath taking. Don't ever give up, you have an amazing talent. God bless you and your family.
Idk but those lyrics are freaking amazing and haunting. I do feel like it's about her. I hope we get to know one day what really was happening..
Beautiful 💙
He was on eTown Radio last night and I fell in love with his music all over again. The one little obscure note in this song is just why he is so great.
Not just finding that one half-off note, but having the good taste to feature the damn thing, using it to put people on notice: "Not just a derpy folk tune, folks.". Dude's an excellent guitar player, fine lyricist, has a fantastic voice, but I think, above all, he has a gift for melody. Put it all together (and it don't hurt to look a lot like Johnny Depp), and you've got one remarkable artist.
And yes, even with this fine album...I still want, someday, more from JP and Joy...sad.
Magic
I guess I'm just gonna play this on repeat until his album is finally out. Ugh. Come on all ready...
Genius 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Lovin you 💚
He haunts me to the bone. I sustained an injury from a chainsaw today.
It hurts Substantialy less.
I did not know a song could leave bruises
So glad to see John Paul back, album sounds great man!
Always a pleasure hearing your hauntingly beautiful creations.
such a haunting and eery voice. i love it!
Beautiful...
What if it'll be no poets, no singers, no artists? Just concrete jungles of money making robots, shaken by vampirical politicians for votes... May God protect you, JPW, you tender bird, landed into our world from havens.
Love
You got some of the 'it factor'. She was the other half...if you want true Joy back in your life...you know what to do... We all do.
прекрасно
thankful *
I'm happy he didn't trade that guitar in for an Ibanez JEM! LOL!
Can anyone tell me where I can find tabs on this song? Or can someone please tell me the tabs!?
this is pretty accurate tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/j/john_paul_white/black_leaf_tab.htm
JPW sounds better w/out Joy. No offense to Joy. She is a great singer. I just like JPW's songwriting better out of the Civil Wars. I think this album is better than anything the CW's did!
no he doesn't. And their writing together was way more complex then "i hope I die" or some of his other songs off of this album. He always said lyrics were not his strong side. This song is an exception. Only reason in my opinion is because it must be written about her.
I really love JPW but I have to agree. Their...synergy applied to both songwriting and vocals, and was unique. I'm one who NEVER cares about the personal lives of performers, just their art...except for this one time and I just can't get over it. Damn it!
@@sreb5048 I could not be more in agreement with you. I love JPW and Joy so much and wish them amazing musical careers. They sound wonderful on their own. However... It's impossible not to compare with something that already exists. Like you said, CW songs had much more intricate, mystical and haunting lyrics. I'm missing this part in JPW's work, even though I do think that his voice sounds perfect, and he puts so much feeling into his performances. Then there's Joy. She just released an incredible album, which really says a lot about her song writing skills. But if you watch her perform these songs live, she looks quite lost. She looks like someone who lost an arm or a leg, and is still learning to live without it.
Jane Fonda gave me the clap...
wtf, this man looks so much like erlich in silicon valley
Well fuck.
