In light of the recent health emergency that has taken everyone by storm, people have started relating their life sinking just like the ship in the movie : Titanic. Interestingly, the terrifying feeling of Titanic sinking, was recreated in real-life, when two ladies with a violin in their hands and a lifejacket on their bodies played a hymn.

Violinists in action

On one hand, while people are working from home and the surroundings continue to remain in a lockdown and isolated state, Bonnie von Duyke and Emer Kinsella brought forward a dramatic yet alluring change in people's lives. The video went viral after Bonnie von Duyke shared their performance on her YouTube channel aptly titling it: Ode to RMS Toilet Paper - 'I'll never let go". Towards the end of the video, the dramatic violinists ended their act with the line from the movie: ''Gentleman, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight.'' 

Bonnie continued to write: "Concerts and events are being cancelled right and left. We want to create awareness to support independent artists at this time and to connect with others in our global community. As self-employed artists, we want to let others know how we can offer our services remotely. + lifestreams concerts + buy our albums + listen to our music + inquire about virtual lessons + ask us to write you music + donating to our patreons."

In a Los Angeles supermarket, in an empty toilet paper aisle, Bonnie and Kinsella donning black suits and orange lifejackets started to recreate the famous song 'Nearer, my God, To Thee' from the popular movie, Titanic. Ironically, the ship that sank in the movie turned out to be quite relatable to the lives of people sinking beneath the furious waves of Coronavirus and the video has also been shared by a few on Twitter.
