Can’t fall asleep? No need to ever count another sheep, now that Joy Williams, formerly of the Civil Wars, has teamed up with Paramore’s Hayley Williams. If you’re missing the beauty of the Civil Wars gorgeous harmonies, this duet should keep your interest for the time being. Unfortunately, you’ll be playing it on repeat for forever, since the Civil Wars are no longer together (let’s be honest, you know they’re deeply, desperately in love, and that’s what makes their melodies so heartbreakingly beautiful).
Both artists grew up in the Christian music scene (despite sharing a last name, they’re not related), and they’ve been friends for over a decade. While Joy Williams would have chemistry with anyone she sings with (seriously, she could serenade a tree and you’d think they were hopelessly in love), it’s just not the same — although it is the ultimate lullaby. If you’re sitting in traffic — or on a plane from hell — this Thanksgiving weekend, this is just the song you need to calm you down immediately.
