| The Civil Wars – Poison & Wine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think this song is all about committment. Both of these artists are married, and I think their writing of this song springs from they. Marriage isn't always that "feeling" of love - much of the time it is choosing to love. I think this song is about that. At this very moment, I don't love you, but I always will. I don't have a choice, but I choose you. I think people in relationships can sometimes get to the place where they tink, "Oh, (s)he doesn't even know me anymore," but the partner DOES know them. When two people know and love each other this much, there is nothing secret. Sometimes what they want goes unspoken, because they want the other to know what they are thinking, and sometimes the person knows that want that, but they don't want to take that first step. I think this is one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard because it is about that committment. It is about sticking it out even when you don't feel love. Its about remembering that you choose this person. Its about realizing that you will move past this rough point and you will always choose to love. | |
