Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee, set to pictures of the Titanic.
---
Popular Hymn written in the 1850's, most famously known as the last song played by the Titanic's band, as the steam liner sank beneath the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
---
Uploaded my own because I could not find one online with that special A# (at around 1:58) in this arrangement. That single note just does it for me.
For those looking for an .mp3 file of this video to download this version of the hymn is rare. I recommend using any of many KZfaq to MP3 website/addons to convert the sound on this video.

out of all the tragic scenes in Titanic, this is the only one that makes me tear up... every freakin' time!!! i love how it begins...all of the other music band members say goodbye to the lead and leave...thn they hear him start playing Nearer my God to thee, and so they all come back, and play it with him, understanding that it's the end! I love how music makes it a bitter sweet end...

Exactly, this scene gets me every time. Because it also showed the other people that accepted their fate. Like the elderly couple that held each other in bed, and the woman who read her kids to sleep after realizing they locked all the lower class people inside since they didn't have enough lifeboats. Ugh so sad.

this song gives me chills knowing over 1500 souls were lost when the titanic sank. there she lay in eternal rest at the bottom of the merciless North Atlantic who never gives up her dead when the ides of April fall upon us each passing year. there she lay in her resting place where she landed at 30 past 2 am on the morning of 15th April nineteen hundred and twelve. only a sinch over 900 bodies were recovered. men women and children who only wanted to start a new life, a new beginning. rest in peace to those who were lost. may they have found the light and followed it into heaven, the paradise of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. the home of our God.

He urged all women, children and the unsaved to get into a life boat. He told the musicians to play nearer my God to thee. Even while in the ocean he was urging people to turn to Jesus so they could go to heaven. Amazing stories connected to this song ❤
