    These sisters really, really know how to sing. Their breath control, phrasing and harmonics are preternatural. Pure talent, homegrown and natural. This song is an American classic.

    I heard this song years ago. I still sing this song alone, but I remember how, for a while, I sang the low harmony with a girl who used to be my best friend.
    We don't talk anymore. But I miss singing with her all the same.

    I teared up at :26. I don't know that I've ever heard anything like these three songs. I'm grateful for them. You girls have incredible talent.

    Hello Everyone, First we just want to thank Ben for posting our video to Reddit. We know he is getting a lot of negativity because people think his post is not real. It is real and he is a friend not a promotion person. :)
    We have decided to release the EP today because of the Reddit post. See the link in the video description if you are interested.
    Thank you all so much for the comments and thank you Ben for posting on Reddit.

    Earthly Angels. You are amazing. Voices, production, simple and chilling beauty. Please never forget what you've made here...I see greatness for you...remember over time what you've made here and come back to it as you grow.

    I have never purchased music online until I heard your work. Truly worth it.
    'Back to the River' has been playing back-to-back in my head for 4 days now.

    So beautiful. Can't get enough of this music. This song would go great in the soundtrack of the movie The Host!

    For some reason the line Madeleine sings "And there you will be, my love" just makes my heart weep. It's just beautiful!!

    Singularly beautiful when you sing alone, the sound of angels when you harmonize. I predict an amazing career for both of you. I was here when there were only 5,000 views.

    I don't normally buy music, no matter how much I love it. But I'm going to make an exception for you two, the music you make is beautiful and I want to see you guys make more of it. It gave me some intense feels.

  • @SirBobose
    @SirBobose 12 років тому

    I think the reverb is perfect. Definitely adds to the overall mood. I'm usually very particular with reverberated vocals but I think it's great.

    We have been getting some requests to upload the audio from the White Arc video sessions. We will be putting these acoustic versions of In The Middle, These Great Things, and Back to the River on Bandcamp in just a few days. Have a wonderful day.

      This is a long shot, but if you guys have piano music I would really love it. I’ve searched online but I can’t find anything that shows me what the left hand is doing. Thank you, you’ve brightened my ears.

  • @nutellagoeat

    While studying this morning I had the CBS morning show on just as background noise. I stopped everything when I heard your voices singing Devil We Know. I listened, then rewound the show to get your names. Came directly to youtube. Teardrops! So beautiful. I found out yesterday that my fiancé and I are pregnant! I'm so looking forward to new this chapter in our lives and am happy that you will be the soundtrack to it all. My new favorite music!

    I was at a Brett Dennen concert last night which was opened by you two. So great I remembered this song specifically. Idk if you'll see this, but "you got a fan in me."

  • @ashleighclayton1203
    @ashleighclayton1203 12 років тому

    You two perfect, I can't get enough of your songs.
    The only criticism I can give is to have more expression when you sing, in your face. It makes the emotions of the song more believable and will impact the audience even more.x
