Titanic - Nearer My God To Thee (Full Version)

Please enjoy this full version. This is the song the band played before the Titanic sank.
"Sometime around 2.10 a.m. as the Titanic began settling more quickly into the icy North Altantic, the sounds of ragtime, familiar dance tunes and popular waltzes that had floated reassuringly across her decks suddenly stopped as Bandmaster Wallace Hartley tapped his bow against his violin. Hartley and his musicians, all wearing their lifebelts now, were standing back at the base of the second funnel, on the roof of the First Class Lounge, where they had been playing for the better part of an hour. There were a few moments of silence, then the solemn strains of the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" began drifting across the water. It was with a perhaps unintended irony that Hartley chose a hymn that pleaded for the mercy of the Almighty, as the ultimate material conceit of the Edwardian Age, the ship that "God Himself couldn't sink," foundered beneath his feet. As the band played, the slant of the deck grew steeper, while from within the hull came a rapidly increasing number of thuds, bangs and crashes as interior furnishings broke loose, walls and partitions collapsed--the Titanic was only moments from breaking apart."

You know, the saddest part of all of this was the background story behind all of this. the violinist was supposed to be married on the return trip, and his fiance gave him the violin he played on. The inscription was about their love. When the boat began to sink, he had the chance to get on a rescue boat, bit turned it down because of so many others who weren't going to be able to be saved. He played this song with his men right up until the Titanic sank. He then put away his violin in the case and held on to it as the boat submerged. A couple months later, the violin was found, and returned to the fiance, who passed it down to her ancestors. it was recently rediscovered in an attic and sold for $1.7 million dollars.

Titanic has always been my favorite movie, and I remember one time I was watching it and my grandfather was in another room. I was learning to play the violin at the time, and when this scene played I heard him humming it from the other room. He came to my room and asked if it was me playing it, saying it was the most beautiful rendition he'd ever heard. I told him it was just the movie, and that my violin was in my closet. He died a month later, and I dropped my lessons. Ever since then I've regretted it, and I'm going to start playing again so I can learn to play this, even if it's the only song I know, if for no other reason than I want to be able to play it for him just once.

Then they turned even whiter when they died!"- Harry S. Plinkett, the last survivor of the Titanic (alleged)

***** wait I thought the last survivor died back in 2009. And she was a couple months old then so how is this guy still alive? It's been 103 years since the sinking so that would make him 109 years old. I'm thinking he's either a liar or is too stubborn to die.

R. Kidd Actually, he was the person who sunk the Titanic, he got into the control room while the captain was sleeping with his mother, then he hallucinated a talking pizza roll who told him to drive the ship into an iceberg. But as the ship was sinking, aliens came in and shot the ship in half with lasers, (even though the ship was already sinking) which is why the ship was found in two halves. Oh, and Rick Berman.

[@thomasanderson5929]

Actually a lot of them didn't know what was coming for them until they noticed there were no lifeboats left. They didn't think the Titanic would actually sink along with the mass hysteria and confusion of the situation, some didn't even want to get on a lifeboat as the very thought of getting on one so high from the water past midnight was in itself a scary ordeal. In the end, many of them thought they still had a chance to when they saw lifeboats but once they were all gone, that's when the fear of death on a sinking ship set in. 1,500 people still on board.

This song will forever be associated with the Titanic tragedy, yet some contend that it was not played as the ship sank. A few survivors (who have all passed away) say the music played was much more upbeat, but lets look at the facts. Nearer My God To Thee was the favorite hymn of King Edward VII and of the Titanic's band leader Wallace Hartley. Hartley had said many time that he wanted this played at his own funeral. So to me it is clear that this song was indeed played as the Titanic sank.

[@galoon]

+John Greene I agree; I think it was played too--survivor Eva Hart swore by it--she even recalled which version of the song it was (the "Horbury" version).

[@tetragon2137]

Archibald Gracie stated it was a song he did not recognise. He also mentioned that it was a cheerful piece. This is not a cheerful piece. Nearer my god to thee would likely have caused panic among the passengers. Songe d'automne is a more likely candidate.

My late grandfather grew up in Chestnut Hill in Pennsylvania, which, along with the Main Line, is one of the wealthiest areas of the entire U.S.A. His father, my great-grandfather, was a very privileged man, who had status amongst the wealthy elite of the time. When this movie came out in 1997, I was so fascinated by the story of the Titanic that my grandfather told me about how his father, my great grandfather, knew one of the wealthiest families on the ship, the Ryersons, the Lehigh Valley steel tycoons. My grandfather recalled my great grandfather's stories about playing polo and swimming at the Pennlynn Club in Gwenyedd Valley, Pennsylvania, with them, and how much of a shock it was for my great grandfather when Mr. Ryerson, the patron of Ryerson University in Bryn Mawr, did not survive the sinking. My grandfather didn't know much more, because, understandably, my great grandfather never talked about it much.

[@kallumfrybrookes2618]

I wish people wouldn't keep stealing from the wreck. For everything that the submersible takes to the surface, It has to leave something in equal weight behind. They have left everything from plastic cups to iron chains. The deck is crumbling and the stairwell is collapsing. Soon there will be no Titanic. Why speed up the process? Taking shoes and clothes, not knowing they have stole it off a corpse that is no longer there. Leave it alone. If people want to see what a white star line cup looks like. *Take a picture*.
