The band weave together the voices of the Titanic's survivors in a special musical commission for BBC Music's Biggest Weekend in Belfast.
Performed at the Titanic Slipways, May 2018.

As a Belfast man living abroad since 30 years, this is for me absolutely beautiful and not just the music.❤❤

[@rudyyechout6465]

During the third song, that's Morse Code for "CQD" being projected on the screen, which was the distress call from the Titanic. What a chilling song!

[@blueorange6026]

The instruments are also spelling out the Morse Code in their rhythms, becoming more frantic as the track goes on. Absolute masterpiece!

[@selenlun159]

They are the greatest...! Nothing like them,just nothing... A M A Z I N G! And such a privilege to be a listener of them.

[@blakefish80]

Stunning... PSB are the most important band of our time.

[@nmacog]

i hear you brother

[@panoseddie9975]

Agree with you

[@SubiPeteWRX]

So good! Its been a long time since I have heard a band that can transmit emotion like this through their music. Love you guys and enjoyed seeing you live here in New York. Please come back again soon.

[@mrcodhead67]

Emotional 2nd part nearly had me in tears . .

[@TheTarkus10]

Terrific work of art and music. You have become part of the Titanic's legend with this remarkable tribute. And BTW you just keep getting better and better!

[@mickrobo6073]

Absolutely amazing 💪piece of work And WITH visual display..👍😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@paulrollo9882]

A most fitting tribute to the people who build the great ship and the poor souls that were lost in the tragedy that followed.

[@incidentshappen]

Having seen PSB live in NYC a couple years ago (they were playing "The Race for Space") ... they're a total blast in concert and their motion graphics tie into the music so perfectly.

[@simonecancian6970]

Great project that as always express a wide range of emotions! Well done guys!

[@westcumbriantransportfilms4364]

By far the best so far this is gonna be set on repeat forever for.me

[@armandotupadre]

Amazing the drums piece!

[@panoseddie9975]

This band is magnificent , come to Greece again please !

[@jacobygreenwood]

Soooo freaking excited about their new project. The songs sound very good.

[@theeyebirds2403]

wicked awesome, thanks mates

[@redfog42]

Outstanding! ❤

[@gobalmighty1413]

Would love it if PSB and BSP collaborated on some more nautical themed tunes.

[@hesterdunstan-lee1355]

Same here.

[@llinbob]

Thank you for doing your first headlining North Wales gig in #Pontio Bangor last night. You were all amazing. x

[@rde4017]

Speaking as a card carrying, rivet counting Titanorac of forty years standing, this is great stuff.

[@seanfinlay7393]

Love psb, great work!

[@florenciaparedesvila2217]

PSB ❤️

[@zarrow50]

This would make a good wedding song

[@SimDeck]

Great stuff. They have that 'The National' vibe going on. Probably better.

[@bradpoynting4691]

Track 2 is really good! I wonder if this will result in an EP since it is commissioned work, or if they'll release a full album about the Titanic?

[@mikebellwood8531]

Royal Albert Hall gig on Nov 1st - think we'll see an EP around then. Check out the Tom Robinson interview and history of the band on 6Music, fabulous.

[@raymomull2258]

Or maybe an ep about the Welsh coal onboard the Titanic!!!

[@sevans1966]

White Star Liner EP to be released on Oct 26th.

[@JonathanLeon]

Neat!!!

[@annajuliaify]

The second song White Star Liner is too short

[@DaleRossall]

😌

[@carlpurkins]

I got the feeling that they took the commission as it was a logical thing for a band like PSB to do, but they didn't really want to do it.

[@jmccann482]

Carl Purkins if they didn't want do it, why wouldn't they just refuse?

[@DanielSaner]

Got to pay the bills like everybody else…

[@SadieMc81]

Why do you think that? I think they were more realising how they were playing these songs where Titanic was built.

[@ideologikal]

Wow, how many laptops? 4:25

[@Rivan98]

Que estan diciendo?

[@jacobygreenwood]

¿En cuál de todas las partes?

[@BFAREY]

What´s the name of the second song please?

[@blueorange6026]

White Star Liner.

[@cormacmccarthy3233]

Name of the second song??

[@blakefish80]

1. The unsinkable ship 2. White star liner 3. C.Q.D 4. The Deep

[@mikebellwood8531]

C.Q.D. - very clever, these guys set the bar incredibly high.

[@blakefish80]

Mike Bellwood... Yes, it's quite brilliantly thought out and performed. Even down to the drum beat ending abruptly on the "C.Q..." missing the final D as that was the final message received from the ship before she was lost completely... incredibly poignant stuff.

[@Diddles75]

Performance of the weekend, WTF are the crowd about. BBC Zombies

[@blueorange6026]

It's sombre because the crowd are standing in the exact place where the Titanic was built, and the emotions conveyed by the songs don't exactly evoke loud raucous cheering considering what happened to the ill-fated liner.

[@Beatgeneration2010]

Last song was not the best of choices!

[@JoshLStuff]

It was part of a specifically created suite of songs for the Titanic (understandably somber about the aftermath of the crash), it was not their set's last song.

[@blakeyonthebuses]

They started so well but this is a pile of rubbish

[@blakeyonthebuses]

A little boring.
