...

im talking about the ship sinking...there was no love story....thats
made up.like the band playing as it went down.

Actually, the band playing is undetermined according to urban legend sites.
They believe that because none of the band members survived the sinking that
they
actually did play "Nearer My God to Thee" as the last song while the ship
was sinking to
calm and comfort the passengers.

Titanic survivor spent her final years in Hunt Valley
Exhibit at Maryland Masonic Grand Lodge recalls story of Ada (Balls)
Perine

To this day the hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," is banned from the
chapel at the Bonnie Blink retirement community at the Maryland
Masonic Grand Lodge in Hunt Valley.

For Ada (Balls) Perine, who lived there from 1953 to her death in
1967, the song was simply too painful.

"Every time that particular hymn was played, she cried," said Edward
Heimiller, curator of the library and museum on the Maryland Masonic
Grand Lodge campus.

After many occasions witnessing Ada break down, the chaplain asked her
why the song bothered her so.

She told him — and he ordered it never to be played again.

One hundred years ago this weekend, "Nearer My God to Thee" was the
last song Ada heard from the band that was playing on the deck of the
RMS Titanic after she boarded a lifeboat and was lowered to the waters
below.
