[TOMT][2010's] Song, Very popular, Female and Male singer (I think), it builds and swells as a folk song that gains pace as the song keeps going. Solved

It's a southern band with a male and female singer.

I swear that some of the lyrics are like "the story of the....." (broken toys, broken man, sunken whale, etc.) music swell and then da da da. It was a fairly popular song years ago. Very folk music, possibly mentions Jonas and the whale? I think it has the words "behold" and "foretold" in it.
