Actually, there is some debate about whether or not the last song played was this or Nearer my God to Thee.

[Ericah81]

@AlbusPercyDumbledore TRUE, but Miss Dick was too far away to hear that song ,but Bride was right there on a up-side-down lifeboat sooo yup.

[Shangas]

I love this song. But it's so damn mournful.

And yes, this IS how slow it's meant to be played. Beautiful but amazingly depressing.

Where do you get all these recordings?

[Ericah81]

@Shangas amazon,titanic.com,and some other place

This is the last song played by violin band in titanic.

Oddly enough, research by George Behe suggests that a fairly inclusive range of largely British hymns as well as patriotic (British) non-hymn songs (this included) were played in the last 30 to 40 minutes or so before the final plunge, therefore, contrary to the common assumption, NMGTT may not have to have been the LAST song played that night. And in my opinion, it also might - just might - suggest that the band could well have played BOTH "Horbury" and "Propior Deo."

But maybe that's just me.

@therealjoebloggs Actually, "Propior Deo" was the version he was most familiar with as it was his favored version of the song according to his family, and his father played it at his church when he was a child all the time. "Bethany" and "Horbury", although nicer in my opinion, are not as likely.

[starpopcorn2]

@UpwardsFallings Which version have you been listening too...

[starpopcorn2]

@Kiyoko504 Because they realized all the boats had left and all the remaining passengers were heading to the back of the ship. They knew they were facing certain death, so they played as if they were preying. Nearer My God To Thee was Wallace Hartleys favorite hyme as his father, who owned a Church, played it all the time. He was most likely thinking of his family while playing before he was to die.

@GabrielDhalaman what are you going on about I get the whole past life thing but do you have proof of seeing this during a meditation

[Kiyoko504]

@AlbusPercyDumbledore I am not sure if with all the panic the band could not tell when the finale plunge was going to happen so onestly this song sounds more fit to of been played last not to mention they were told to keep it cheery so why would they play a somber song like nearer my god to thee

[Messylin]

STUNNING and eerie.

WOO! :)

[KingdomHeartsFan2100]

Nearer My God to Thee is very similar. Extremely similar.
