Nearer, My God, to Thee

I did not change or tweak the melody, and am playing somebody else's arrangement.

Oh, side note: This song was played on the Titanic before it sank to its miserable fate. I don't know how the orchestra stood up straight when the boat was like sinking.

Hello, jkim89:

Loved your piano playing immensely. Thank you for sharing

You ask: I don't know how the orchestra stood up straight when the boat was like sinking?

Remember Rashamon? 5 different versions by 5 different people witnessing the same exact event. All stories are embellished to touch the heart. Even the 4 disciples, Mark, Mathew, Luke & John had contradictions in their stories. Truth is that which the mind decides it to be. Loved your playing immensely. Thank you.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with what Rashamon is :/.

As for the gospels, even though it looks like they have some contradictions within their text, I think if you look at it deeply through a different context and realize the different social norms and customs, then the contradictions will actually not really be existent.

Anyways, thank you for the compliment!

very impressing piano skills. How many years are you playing the piano and how many hours you train per day ?

[jkim89]

Thanks very much! I've been playing for about 10 years, but these days I haven't been practicing at all since coming to college. I wish I had more time to play :/.

Haha very true.

I love this song, it feels like it has been composed by God, it makes me feel horrible for the sins I have done, but at the same time, it feels like God forgives me.

jkim89 you are amazing more please i love piano music very much thanks a lot... and GOD BLESS YOU.

THANK YOU for playing that. I'm not a church-man, but am compelled by the emotional power of that hymn, and its poignance in history. We are so ineffably bound by our mortality, and yet an immortal race could not write and play a song like this. We pay the price for loss in beauty.., and does this not tell us that the world and its family of life is worth saving! The Gods out there would surely want to be nearer to us, who suffer infinite loss, and find love.

Hino 433.do Hinario de Louvores e suplica a Deus.

Ó Deus bendito,sou pequenino.Mas já caminho pelo Teu ensino.Sou neste mundo um peregrino.Já me fizeste cidadão dos céus.

2.Vivo alegre,em paz te sigo.Nada receio pois estou Contigo.Neste deserto,em Ti me abrigo.Já me fizeste cidadão dos céus.

3.És minha Força e Segurança.És meio Apoio.minha confiança.Já me fizeste cidadão dos céus.Hinario CCB Brasil . abelcd@ig.com.br
