  • Piano cover of "Will the circle be unbroken" by myself. Based on the version sung by Courtnee Draper for the Bioshock Infinite OST.
    Synthesia version is up:
    • Will the circle be unb...
    I transcribed the song trying to match how Courtnee sings it, and afterwards I decided I had to do a piano cover of this song because it's just so beautiful, so here it is.
    Karaoke version here:
    • Will the circle be unb...

    There are loved ones in the glory,
    Whose dear forms you often miss;
    When you close your earthly story,
    Will you join them in their bliss?
    ----(start of the choral version)----
    Chorus:
    Will the circle be unbroken?
    By and by, by and by?
    Is a better home awaiting
    In the sky, in the sky?
    In the joyous days of childhood,
    Oft they told of wondrous love,
    Pointed to the dying Saviour;
    Now they dwell with Him above.
    Chorus:
    Will the circle be unbroken?
    By and by, by and by?
    Is a better home awaiting
    In the sky, in the sky?
    You remember songs of heaven
    Which you sang with childish voice,
    Do you love the hymns they taught you,
    Or are songs of earth your choice?
    "" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;">
    Chorus:
    Will the circle be unbroken?
    By and by, by and by?
    Is a better home awaiting
    In the sky, in the sky?
    ----(end of the choral version)----
    You can picture happy gath'rings
    'Round the fireside long ago,
    And you think of tearful partings,
    When they left you here below.
    Chorus:
    Will the circle be unbroken?
    By and by, by and by?
    Is a better home awaiting
    In the sky, in the sky?
    One by one their seats were emptied,
    One by one they went away;
    Now the family is parted,
    Will it be complete one day?
    Chorus:
    Will the circle be unbroken?
    By and by, by and by?
    Is a better home awaiting
    In the sky, in the sky?

I see sunny summer afternoons and sitting around a hearth on dark winter evenings and gatherings... Family. This piano rendition of the song is just... Marvelous.

    @99blackhorse99 (can't specifically reply to your comment on iPod) Common time means 4/4, which is the time signature that this is in. And it's plenty slow, in my opinion. I think it sounds great. Nice work, Sal!

  • @Geekn4sty
    @Geekn4sty 11 років тому

    It depends on how you interpret the ending. Either you believe that Elizabeth drowning Booker created a paradox which broke the cycle. Or you believe that when a paradox is created the universe resets to a time right before the paradox timeline began and the game will repeat infinitely.

  • @SalRosenskjold
    @SalRosenskjold  11 років тому

    If you check out my channel, there's a synthesia version with a link to a midi file in the description.

  • @SalRosenskjold
    @SalRosenskjold  11 років тому

    Mostly just the chords in the sheet. The few variations are the opening where I only play an open fifth C-G and then go to F major without the fifth F-A. And the ending at the repitition I replace the Am with an F major.

    @SalRosenskjold  11 років тому

    I can see there are several asking for the sheet music, which there is a link to in the description. I didn't write anything down other than the melody and the chords though, from there I just improvised over it.
