Can The Circle Be Unbroken' Sheyna Gee Acoustic Performance

Country rock artist Sheyna Gee performs an acoustic cover of ‘Can The Circle Be Unbroken’ from The Carter Family.

This folk song was released in 1935 and is a reworking of the classic hymn ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken.’ The lyrics follow the story of a mother who has passed away and the aftermath for the child and family.

“I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away”

This rendition of the song is a stark contrast to the uplifting lyrics of ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken.’ The modified version from The Carter Family is known as a funeral hymn, reminding us all that our loved ones who have passed are in a better place in Heaven.

“Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky”

Today, Sheyna Gee is performing an incredible acoustic rendition of ‘Can The Circle Be Unbroken’ from the Nashville Vineyard Church in Nashville, Tennessee. These church sessions, organized by Country Rebel, feature an artist playing a stripped down version of popular gospel songs.

With a large organ as the backdrop, Sheyna belts out these iconic lyrics while strumming the guitar. Hear this acoustic performance truly makes each and every word so much more powerful. Though we may feel a hole in our hearts when a loved one passes, feel comfort knowing that they are with our Father.
