A week before the highly anticipated release of The Civil Wars’ self-titled sophomore album, the duo is streaming the LP in its entirety over at iTunes.
With three singles released over the last few weeks, the band is giving fans a chance to listen to every track before the album’s Aug. 6 release. Listen to the The Civil Wars at iTunes now.
And while you try to deceiver the meanings of each song, check out what Williams had to say about each track below.
Track-by-Track by Joy Williams
“The One That Got Away”
This song pays homage to regret. Nearly everybody I’ve come across has somebody in their life that they wonder what life would be like if they’d never met that person. It’s that sliding-doors moment — in the blink of an eye everything could change. Either for the positive or the negative.
John Paul and I wrote this song in the screened-in porch of my and Nate’s new home. I remember warm breezes blowing, a mild day. I had recently had my son, Miles, who happened to be asleep with Nate in the living room, right next to the porch. I remember asking John Paul to play quietly so he didn’t wake up the baby.
