Who Will Sing For Me

In our time, Katie and I have been asked to sing at many funerals. Recently, we were asked to sing for a friend who's wife had passed away and he requested this song. I have heard this song many times before, but never really payed attention to the words. As we learned it, we had the idea to sing it in this local graveyard because it seemed to be the fitting place. Many of the graves here were from the 1800's and even a few from the 1700's. Although I hope the people buried here had someone to sing for them at the time of their death, I don't know if they did. If they did not, then they had us, and I hope someday someone will sing one song for us too.
Hope you enjoy the video!

They are thankful.

[@carolynessary2408]

This makes me want to cry ,miss my mommy and daddy ,ma and pa and all the rest ❤️

[@timmoore2496]

Look at those little crumbly old gravestones.

[@leighflorkevich9916]

What a touching song! I think it was very appropriate to sing it in that peaceful cemetery among the beautiful mountains.

[@Kentuckytrackers7255]

1797, rough times to be born in ,but what a land to live on. bless ya ladies, Ty❤️

[@thepressleygirls]

Yes, I imagine it was a wonderful land to live on ❤️

[@gillygil8747]

That high lonesome sound gets me every time. Play on Angel Band.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! ❤️🙏

[@terryyy1944]

Your singing takes me back to times of joy and times of sadness. These were times I was close to the earth and all it had to give. Just the sounds of newly awakened birds on a warm spring morning was enough to remind me that life at its fullest need not be complex, only simple. Now that I live in the shadows of a city I realize, too late, what I have lost. Thank you for singing me back home, if only for awhile.

[@peacefulwife5199]

Wow, your words moved my soul. ❤

[@robertmoore2049]

I pray you can be in a place out of the city where are you can feel close to the earth and hear the birds singing in the morning and be at peace and have joy overflowing in your heart soon and very soon. Have a blessed day. And God bless…

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

I also love old graveyards.

[@loripahl9728]

The souls resting in eternity heard you sweet girls singing this beautiful song 🎵 ❤

[@thepressleygirls]

🙏☺️

[@k.y.6148]

One of my oldest favorites!

[@mmurphy2528]

Nice weather💚 wind chill & hail in sunny' Ireland 😎

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s strange weather!

[@benitastevens612]

This is so sweet girls. I ask Gods blessing on you today!

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

there is nothing like an old cemetry...back in the north east we have many from the colonial period./ so beautiful and peaceful

[@thevictorianedge5465]

I love this, it makes me think of my mama and grandma (nanny) and my sister. We all would sing while mama played piano or guitar. Now I'm the only one left. I miss them. 😢

[@samyoung7096]

That was awesome. I've always wondered how bluegrass people harmonize vocally. Not only was I entertained, but I also learned something. That harmonization was clear as day.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@KenricKite]

I love this setting. Like to think that the people buried there are listening to you sing for them.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@user-ef2se7hs2b]

Just so sweet! Love the harmony! Just think you both are precious!

[@angellfonner8008]

A favorite song of ours. My little girl likes to sing it with the Ralph Stanley accent ♥️

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s so sweet! ☺️

[@drewby613]

Lovely, ladies. God bless you for bringing comfort to the bereaved. Helping the family of the departed is really helping the one who passed on, and with no possibility of them expressing their gratitude. So anything one can do in that regard is of great merit, for it is the purist form of giving that has no chance of recompense.

[@debbieroberts600]

Beautiful Song & Beautiful Voices!

[@leroycaudill96]

Good job ladies .

[@ls7196]

Morning Ladies. Miss Corie, Miss Katie.

[@thepressleygirls]

Good morning friend!

[@tb6031]

Thank you!

[@daisymay317]

1797...wow. I wonder how old the one after that was too. Never seen one that looked quite that worn. Gravestones can sure tell a story.

[@jaspersknoll9013]

The world needs more young folks like you that love their roots. Through determine and sacrifice I never left my home in the hills and now my grandchildren are here. I hope to encourage them to love this area and to teach them some of the old ways before I am gone.

[@thepressleygirls]

I’m so glad you never had to leave home, I’m a home body for sure. God bless you and keep you!

[@joeyfarr8852]

I love you girls so much , I know your nana is listening to this and she would be smiling with joy

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@suemyers7685]

Lovely today. Pap was smiling down on his sweet granddaughters and Tipper too today for sure.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! ❤️

[@altoncheatham7383]

Words cannot describe the emotions your song bring. Thanks

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you friend, God bless you!

[@normangabbard8816]

Very Good Ladies.. Very moving..

[@rotisseriebear5394]

I think it's so awesome that you play at the cemetery for your beloved departed. I took up the banjo, and have only learned by watching videos, and don't know much, but I bring the banjo to my sister's grave, and play what I know.

[@bonniericica6895]

Lovely girls! This one brought tears to my eyes!

[@TheRealNighthawkBaby]

I used to work in a cemetery overnight, and legend has it, you could see Angels in cemeteries, near waterfalls, sometimes churches, and at the end of rainbows

[@southernshenanigans3069]

Today is the 1st anniversary of my sister's death and her 35th birthday. Thanks for posting something she would have loved.

[@thepressleygirls]

So sorry for your loss, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers ❤️🙏

[@vulpeish]

^ ^ Even singing songs about DEATH you still put a smile on my face VVxx

[@RonRay]

If those old souls could speak, I'm sure they would be proud that you sang for them... I know I sure would be.

[@simonzekveld6228]

Such beautiful harmony, don't ever quit

[@robertgann900]

Splendid!

[@jimmymalone3494]

I love your song great job and love the words and God Bless you all.

[@cindypressley4285]

That was beautiful, Girls, but I've come to be nothing but impressed with your talent! The mountains in the background are stunning, as they always are. We certainly live in God's country!

[@thepressleygirls]

🙏❤️

[@angelenemclane955]

Beautiful girls, you both have such big Hearts 💕

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@phillipinman6653]

Lovely!

[@davidpearson5601]

Beautiful job ladies..

[@HolmansHomestead]

Just beautiful great job. Some really old Graves there. Just think of all the history. Hope y'all have a blessed day.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you, yes lots of history!

[@derekstaples7260]

Old cemetery, respect

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

So beautiful! I love that song. My grandma taught it to me 50 yrs ago.

[@paulsherman6450]

I love to hear you girls harmonize.

[@mrstacyj9496]

nicely done, thank you for sharing

[@cweaver6792]

If that song is not on your first album, it should go on your upcoming one! Great vocals.

[@honeybee4248]

I have always loved this song

[@sophiemorrison9820]

thank you, ladies.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Your compassion for others and for family and local history is palpable and very touching. This poignant video and singing is... special. Thank you.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! 🙏☺️

[@robertmoore2049]

I kept thinking of the Carter Family while y’all were playing and singing!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you friend!

[@GunnarSalyer]

Beautiful!

[@duaneholcomb8408]

I always. Favored this song. Its a great old hymn. Thanks. Y'all do it justice.

[@iainmelville9411]

Loved the song, loved the singing but I also loved the location. It seems to me that early new year is a good time to remember the past, and say a little “ Thanks and Rest In Peace “ to those who have gone before.

[@robroberts1473]

Excellent job. 👍

[@1cdailey]

How wonderful to sing for THEM. Beautiful!

[@brianazmy3156]

If you listen closely, you could hear the angels applaud. That was beautifully done ladies. Thank you ❤

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! ☺️

[@jamesmanley9521]

It’s brings home the impact of telling others about CHRIST! Nice music

[@dalegarrard9446]

What a lovely tribute to lives lived ,and lives gone to be with the Lord. Loved it!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@diannehoffman7726]

What a blessing you two songbirds have been for me ! Thank you for this sweet song !

[@jamesa.rodriguez8598]

I love it! Thank you. The day my mom passed, as the undertakers were taking her from the hospital to the funeral home, all ten of us were gathered and sang, "Will the circle be unbroken." Her spirit had left her earthly body, but I'm certain she felt the love. The love that she had given us, which is given to all by God through Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!

[@jlowe51]

Thank you, Corie and Katie, for bringing a smile to my face and peace to my heart.

[@thedr309]

all I can say is wow.... awesome, I have listened to this song 4 times so far, more to come I promise, and like someone else posted, it brings back such memories to me, both happy and sad, but cherished all the more. you two have a gift and I am thankful that you have chosen to share it with the world, hope to get to see a show with you two one day.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! ☺️

[@sheryladams1964]

A perfect song for a perfect place. It sounded like an old song of yesteryear. ❤️❤️

[@kimberlyholt2241]

That was beautiful! I often wonder, now more than ever, about that too.💜

[@thepressleygirls]

🙏❤️

[@aceofspades1658]

How thoughtful of you. Please come back as often as you can. We loved your music.

[@sharondoan1447]

Walking the cemetery is a joyful time, the older one becomes.Seeing all those names on the grave stones reminds us that others have successfully made the journey all the way Home. Our time will come, but maybe not just yet. Maybe we will be called Home today, but maybe the call will come years from now. We don’t know. What we do know is that we are travelers, just passing through and as we journey we are privileged to share the time with Jesus every step of the way.

[@ah4furnishings348]

That was a nice tribute to those who have gone on to the Lord

[@bettystephenson7094]

wow awesome job girls love it thanks

[@kdiggergoober4839]

That was amazing! Just luved it.Thanks for letting me tag along, I'm always looking forward to it!

[@tndaddyo5118]

Great job ladies long with a wonderful video.

[@DanielLDavis-df3uy]

The first time I ever heard this song was by your grandpa and your uncle. It was so cool. And to hear y'all doin' it is just fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gift.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you friend!

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Call me weird but I always liked hanging out in old cemeteries. Sometimes they have the best views, just like this one. Beautiful song girls 🙂

[@petemaroney3691]

You girls are making me cry remembering the early years of my life

[@thepressleygirls]

God bless you friend! ❤️

[@roaddogg8633]

❤️

[@richardhutchings921]

I love walking thru old cemeteries looking at the old stones. Spending my young adult life in the Military makes me look at the old Military Graves. As I leave the gate, I turn and render a salute, paying respect to all of those who made the Ultimate Sacrifice for this Great Nation. You young lassies keep doing what you are doing. I love your music.

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s a beautiful thing to do, thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@christinaoconnor1523]

love you sisters! God Bless!

[@inthejcurve7968]

[@rhondadean5455]

What a beautiful tribute girls. Very moving. Even the crows were listening.

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

Today would have been my 48th Wedding Anniversary. But my Husband passed away so…… This Song brought Tears to my Eyes.

[@thepressleygirls]

I’m so sorry to hear that. God bless you and keep you ❤️💕

[@travmccullough6300]

Beautiful sentiment and lovely song. Thank you, ladies.

[@stephensmith60]

My dog's howling. 👍😁. Love it!

[@thepressleygirls]

Give the puppus a pet for us! 🐶

[@butchwillard55]

Nicely done. I'm certain those souls were listening. Beautiful song.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

That was beautiful ❤️ You show much respect 🙏🌹💜 It brought tears to my eyes, thinking of family and friends who've passed on. An epitaph I had engraved on my wife's stone reads: Death Is Just A Shadow Across The Path To Heaven Ramona 🌹 my highschool sweetheart, My wife...(b.1954-d.2013) 🪶🪶🪶

[@Trey-Jones]

Beautiful singing, that song makes me think of all the funerals I've done. As a preacher I'm always worried that I won't come up with the words to give that person the respect they deserve and comfort their family.

[@thepressleygirls]

I always feel that way when we are asked to sing at one ❤️

[@kevinknight470]

Touching spiritual video, thanx for honoring those who have finished their journey, God bless.

[@michaelbriggsbfn1130]

God bless you girls. That's was beautiful.

[@sbishop16]

I was watching your Mom’s Channel about the role of Gospel music in Appalachia and came back to watch this video again. This song really pulled at my heartstrings and have watched it many times. This is probably my favorite video of yours so far because it says so much about the quality young women you are. This was such a thoughtful video and I just wanted you to know how special You are🥰

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you friend ☺️

[@Jean-ko4xv]

Thank you Girls, so many memories, some good some sad. Mom took me to 4 or 5 family graveyards over the years, mom was so good about that. God Bless. Jean
