Cover of the hymn "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," as heard in BioShock Infinite -- vocals by me, piano by SalRosenskjold.
• ================ •
[[ NOTES: ]]
Hello, friends! This song has been requested a few times and I really liked this hymn to begin with, so here we are. :)
BioShock Infinite's soundtrack... I spent a lot of time reading about how voice actors Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper played a role in contributing to this game's characters and musicality, and I found the whole process to be really neat! I watched a video of them performing this live, and it inspired me to get this done.
Taking a page from Troy and Courtnee's book, I went very simple with this. I think it works well for the song, and the song works well for Booker and Elizabeth's story in Infinite. Hope you enjoy. :)

[[ LYRICS: ]]
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?
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)
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?
(Chorus)
You can picture happy gath'rings
'Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below.
(Chorus)
One by one their seats were emptied,
One by one they went away;
Now the family is parted,
Will it be complete one day?

This played at my grandfathers funeral. Yes this is a song in BioShock but this is also an old Christian song. One of my grandfathers favorites to be in fact. I miss him and I wish I could hug him right now but I know he's not suffering anymore... My grandfather died from smoking and he had a heart attack April 8th. I still know he's with me, and sometimes I can feel a calming presence behind me, watching over me. I believe that this is my grandfather. He's my guardian angel now. I love you grandpa❤

@ajunkersgamble6689 9 лет назад

I know the feeling, i dont really believe in Christianity, but my great aunt and uncle liked songs like this i think, he passed earlier this year in march. I was devastated when i was told he died, his wife died about 5 years ago of a heart attack from smokeing for years and he went in the same way, but in his sleep, he always had heart problems but...im happy he didnt suffer when he went...he had said was ok with dying, so he went with out regret, besides he's with his wife now. And Im sorry your grandpa died, but as you had put he's not suffering anymore. *had to stop typeing cause i had started crying*

@madmad8960 8 лет назад

This was played and my grandpas funeral as well! Although I was too young to remember it

@christinalittleton2242 7 лет назад

I know the feeling too. When my mom passed away due to a gran mal when I was thirteen (I'm sadly aware of the irony due to 13 being a bad luck number), I felt lost without her (both in religion and in real life). It made me feel confused about why, after her death, something that could help her was illegal back then (I'm still upset that they're still debating over it). It also upsets me that there are kids disrespecting their mothers and vice versa. The worst part was that I wasn't there when it happened, so the guilt still eats me up. There's also more guilt that's eating me up: most of my family are religious (mostly Christian) and it feels like I'm living a lie because I'm still debating on whether I should tell them I converted to agnosticism or not. I know that it doesn't sound like a big deal, but it does to me; it kind of makes me feel like the black sheep of the family. If anyone can see this, I was wondering if anyone of you have any advice? Also, if you're with your loved one(s), please let them know how much you love and respect them.

@saralamsayah9905 6 лет назад

I came here to listen to this song again after remembering my grandpa, and I thought of taking a peek at the comments to finally find the most relatable one of them all. I miss him so much & his death still traumatizes me after all these years. I just wish he has a better home now.

@Monica_bondevik 6 лет назад

I know how you feel though I didn't know this song when my dad passed away 6years ago it still makes me cry. *hugs you*

@Kaidron6 9 лет назад

It's interesting how well this hymn fits the bioshock infinite story line. "a better home awaiting in the sky" Colombia is a city in the sky. "will the circle be unbroken" the circle of Comstock and Booker with Elizabeth, I don't think I really should explain more on that for spoiler reasons. And many other lyrics fit many themes of the story.

@LazzyVamples 9 лет назад

Kaidron6 The circle that is referred to in the song isn't about that, but rather how we give our hatred and violence to our children. It's touched upon in Burial at Sea.

@shakirabdullah14 8 лет назад

Oh my God! This song pretty much foreshadows the entire game, and I didn't even notice until now! "Will the circle be unbroken", Booker tried to save his daughter countless times in so many universes, and it was the Booker we played in the game that broke the cycle!

@tjfiso6407 7 лет назад

The cycle wasn't broken per se....

@Elbalia 7 лет назад

TJ Fiso It was after jack came in to it all

@ellas8129 6 лет назад

This song wasnt made for the game lel... I mean its a good choice to foreshadow...but they didnt make this

@crownlix5064 3 года назад

No, the circle doesn't broke. It's infinite

@HeDoesNotRow Год назад

Most songs in the game were chosen for their foreshadowing lyrics. Consider the song they're singing at the lottery: Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in the town Sometimes I have a great notion To jump In the river and drown

@trashking6524 10 лет назад

It makes so much sense; as long as the tears are all the same, Booker will always sell Anna and then end up going to Columbia which triggers the events of the game. As long as this goes on, it becomes an infinite loop. The meaning of the song is Elizabeth wondering if this circle will ever end and her and Booker can be a real family.

@JameZayer 9 лет назад

+Trash King "it becomes an infinite loop." -Roll Credits, oh wait___"

@brandonlarson5639 9 лет назад

This is such a beautiful song. I'm not normally one to cry, but listening to this song just brings out the tears. Especially while reading the comments people leave about loved ones that they've lost.

@dr_sm4rt317 8 лет назад

Man I live in a really rural place and there's a local bar where I can go and watch a 70 year old dude called joe lead an entire room singing this song. Say what you want about the south, but we undoubtedly do have our good points.

@qwertykeyboardqwerty 11 лет назад

Damn i fell in love :). Elizabeth is a real one-in-a-million type of character. The level of emotional engagement the game provokes from the player is truly exceptional. Her angelic singing of a hymn in the middle of the slums was an display of unadulterated humane compassion and it made me shed s tear. You have recreated that moment flawlessly in my mind and that, I believe is truly impressive.

@applesourz755 4 года назад

This song reminds me of when I was a kid living out in the Sticks. Our few times we got to meet up with people was when we’d head into town for church and I’d get to play with the other kids. So many happy memories in that little church.

Damn I love bioshock infinite. I love the artwork, the scenery, the atmosphere, and the story. I felt as if I was actually in the world of bioshock. Lovely game, lovely song! Damn, the ending was bittersweet, especially the ending of Burial at Sea-got me in tears

+Jerrod Jester I wouldn't object to that. the Bioshock trilogy had a great story, but the gameplay was really..bad. That's one fault that I give the game.

Sometimes, I take about 6 of Adriasaurus' songs and have them play at the same time. Put them all on loop and just scream on the inside. The clashing makes my soul feel dead, which is an achievement, as I don't have a soul. Feel free to try this for yourselves. It's my favorite pass time.

On the Morning of August 11th 2014, One of the Greatest Men in the world took his own life. A Great comedian named Robin Williams. And For whatever reason upon hearing of his death, it drug me to listen to this song. RIP Robin WIlliams.

@TheLastHylianTitan 9 лет назад

Mitchell Rice to this day, it fucks me up inside that such a good man had to die like that. to this day, it hurts. but i will say this: whatever waits for us all after death - Paradise, Oblivion, Rebirth - it's not so scary, knowing that someone as great and kind and funny and wonderful as Robin, is there waiting for us.

@calebcooney8106 8 лет назад

I never thought especially of him. To me he was that funny guy from jumangi, and the counselor from that Matt Damon movie. I heard he died and couldn't believe it. It was a tragedy, but I felt disconnected from it. Just another sad thing in the news. But about a week later, I had a dream. It was dark, and a bit smoky. But it was comforting. And he was just standing in front of me, with tears in his eyes, smiling the way he did. I was confused at first. Then he hugged me, tightly and it was so strange. I felt at total peace. I think it changed me. don't know why Im telling this on a RU-vid comment section, but it was beyond beautiful. I still don't know what to make of it.

a very close friend of mine which i havent had a talk with in a few years was separated from her mother by fate, im just glad that after all these years she and i were still as close as i remmember, no words, just a stare and we were updated and as close as ever, we hugged and cried and spend time together, its very sad that it had to be in these times of pain that friends and family that have drifted come close, but it just is how things are. i listened to this song and just started crying again, i dont have any close experience with death but having family die must be one of the most painfull things in this world. very very beautiful voice Adriana, keep up the good work you do, your future is very bright girl i can already see it.
