They Called Themselves “The Civil Wars” — And Then It Came True | 5K Day 310

5K EVERY DAY – Day #310

(Musical intro to “Barton Hollow”)

On this day in 2012, the acclaimed folk duo The Civil Wars lived up to their name. After a show in London, they abruptly canceled the rest of their tour — citing “irreconcilable differences of ambition.” They never performed together again.

(Opening lyrics to “Barton Hollow”)

It’s a tragic reminder that sometimes, the hardest battles aren’t with the world around us…
They’re with the person running right beside us — or staring back in the mirror.

Be kind to yourself. Win the quiet battles first.
Day #310 of 5K Every Day — done.

The band’s name — The Civil Wars — was actually inspired by this quote.

QUOTE OF THE DAY (A leeson from The Civil Wars):
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” – (Attributed to Ian Maclaren)
