Reading through all the comments for this band is absolutely quality reading . 52 years old only found out about this band in 2023 ❤

[@VitoC.]

50 years old and ditto!

[@ronniemac2850]

Watching Mastermind recently and got 5 points by knowing that Everest was originally called Peak 15. The only reason I know this is because I’ve listened to this song about twenty seven thousand times. Thanks, PSB.

[@LNM0000]

❤

[@petermitchell9914]

"Why should a man climb Everest? Because it is there!" For some reason this makes me smile

[@andrewhumphrey1754]

I literally just did the same thing

[@ShoegazerOwl]

Same

[@zchris13]

The man quoted there would die on Everest

[@batwingstuart84]

Why should everest be there? Because a man wanted to climb it

[@santanurakshit6690]

Said by George Mallory. Probably climbed Everest 30 yrs before Tenjing & Edmund. But no one knows for sure. His body was found after 75yrs in 1999.

[@iainpoole1165]

I listened to this while at EVEREST BASE CAMP last year, still makes me cry.. “because it’s there”

[@markharris1125]

Wow, what an experience. Last year I sat in La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona for the first time, and listened to the song by Alan Parsons that I have loved from the 80s. If I ever get to the Moon I'm listening to "Go!" by PSB!

[@MiyanoShuumei]

This is one of the greatest songs off all time

[@lyrimetacurl0]

It's on my September 2016 playlist so makes sense (I make a playlist for every month and September 2016 is definitely the best and always will be (unless they discover some new genre of music that beats them all).

[@TheMelonBond]

“And they named it.. Everest” *STARTS VIBING*

[@brianartillery]

"Two very small men cutting steps in the roof of the world." What an evocative statement. The whole work is superb, as usual.

[@Skelex20]

'Two very small men cutting steps in the roof of the world' I love this.

[@alanwalden755]

Heard PSB on the radio the other night and thought then that this was the most original music I have heard in many a year. Putting old public information films and pathe news type stuff together with music is pure genius. A touch Jean Michelle Jarre in there I think but still brillient stuff. More of the same to look forward to I hope.

[@pauline7145]

just found this song and this amazing band, wish it happened sooner they're amazing!

[@vermilliongecko]

Oh, you have such a brilliant listening journey ahead of you! Enjoy!

[@_witsd]

I'm having this exact moment this evening!

[@johnnylongchord2501]

It’s awesome going back to this song after so many years and seeing these comments

[@DailyWarbird]

Hillary was a Kiwi, born and breed in New Zealand, and we are all very proud of his efforts. He did a lot of great work in the regin for years after the climb as well.

[@oliverbeard3246]

This should be on everyone’s skiing playlist

[@amyj5144]

Glastonbury 2014 Sunday. "Are you behaving yourselves?" "Oh dear."

[@Iclimbthereforeiam]

This is anthemic. I love it, and I am totally sold by the concept of no singing but great music backed by the films I was brought up on as a youngster. just because I am approaching fifty doesn't mean I listen to crap music....( in my humble....etc )

[@platinummouse60]

SirLimpsalot I'm 48 and going to see these guys in October.

[@ShubhamBhushanCC]

God I am saluting the spirit of adventure with tears of fierce pride in my eyes.

[@Londonfogey]

Indeed, I'm getting a bit choked up myself. I've been as high as the level of Everest base camp and found it hard to catch my breath - can't imagine what it could be like at the summit.

[@jeffvader811]

@@Londonfogey I've been to the top of Mont Blanc before (a little over 2km high), I tried to jog a little and before I knew it my vision was beginning to black out. It's now wonder that they needed oxygen tanks at nearly 9km up.

[@hunterhemingway3477]

UP AND UP AND UP

[@somebloke2238]

Same here From my bed

[@spud74]

Stumbled across this during a shuffle on my Spotify playlist. It’s beautiful. Reminds me of Kraftwerk

[@XoiZhiv]

"A climber climbs with his guts, his brains, his soul and his feet" very powerful words

[@rubene.5569]

And it's true, you cannot climb without any of those four things or else you're not going to make it

[@lyrimetacurl0]

@@rubene.5569 Pretty sure some people climb without a soul lol

This should be more well known. Its such a tune.

[@paulputnam8211]

Heard 'Spitfire' on Radio Caroline this morning & now I'm hooked !

[@nahuelklapp307]

one of favorite songs of all time

[@tomthompson7400]

Thankyou radio 2 for this ,, not heard it before its mighty . Very Jean M G meets Alan Parsons.

[@billydudley3739]

Public service broadcasting makes any thing in history sound great

[@JuniorJr...]

Damn, this band is simply awesome!! Greetings from Brazil.

[@omar_anyt6081]

a true testament to two of the greatest men ever to live and one of the best bands of all time

[@robrobinson7052]

Amazing band, probably in my top 10 bands ever. I only add one every 5 years or so...

[@davidavien4338]

I hear you

[@joebeard4498]

Any major changes?

[@pitmatic]

Absolutely breathtaking, both musically and visually. Like all the best music, this gave me goosebumps.

[@Manofry]

This makes me cry everytime :)

[@geckowithcamo]

Thank god... I thought I was a bit odd :)

[@ianholder8264]

Glastonbury 14 couldn't be bothered to watch Dolly Parton glad I stumbled on this good times

[@MiyanoShuumei]

My favourite song

[@helm.fingerboards]

Mallory and Irvine forever in the heart of Cholomunga. RIP.

[@lettucefire]

this track never fails to hit me in the back of the whatever.. smashing .. love it forever

[@Hirotoro4692]

Heard it on the radio and simply HAD to bookmark it. Sweet!

[@Climbertom79]

This band make me feel like a kid again, just brilliant!

[@trobuff86]

Irishman in New York here. My Saturday night walk home, though freezing, was unreal craic.

[@Volvoman90]

The real heroes of the 50's expeditions are the cameramen. 50's film cameras weighed a hell of a lot.

[@shaiharman]

Fantastic & inspiring. Takes me back to the summit of Kilimanjaro in 2012, although Everest is a different ballgame. Respect to these pioneers and those who follow in their footsteps

[@om3ssa]

"- Why should a man climb Everest? - Because it is there."

[@willybarton]

Words of George Mallory from the 1924 expedition. Amazing story if youre interested to read about it! Did they get to the top before Hillary & Tensing ?...

[@geoff1048]

William Barton According to my extensive research (I watched the film _everest_ ), they did.

[@joethelionjoethelion]

Huge fan of found voices and voice-overs in music. It is dramatic and pushes images across! Can used short wave radios!

[@spiroskaravalakis9358]

doug vogel " lemon jelly" if you recall them from the 00s used to do that as well but I admit that these guys are next level.

[@oscargustaverejlander.]

Congratulations. One of the most inspiring things I've seen all year. Only discovered you guys today and I've booked my ticket to see you in Bristol, November. Can't wait. Really refreshing and great music.

[@charliekane4000]

I think that this is the best song that you have done

[@ThisConditionMusic]

Best thing about Glastonbury this year. Mind-blowingly good!

[@lightning1975]

I just love this music and everything that PSB stand for. Top notch!!!!

[@craigstratford5086]

R.I.P Mallory and Irvine . True pioneers .

[@MarcStjames-rq1dm]

Amazing. still.....simply amazing. this is why life is still worth ......amazement!

[@droitfrancais9840]

This song is a really good discovery ! I didn't expect that ! Like I say, never judge a book by its cover.

[@KlausVonMork]

Just seen PSB at the Wickham Festival. Brilliant! The whole tent were mad fer it Go see them live. Plenty of people can do this in the studio but these two rock it live!

[@concursarcadia]

It is impossible not to appreciate history and geography after watching a video and a band as well

[@bluejeans121]

is this the greatest piece of music my ears have ever heard? i think so. yes, it just might be...

[@MAQ373]

Another utterly brilliant song from PSB, they're fast becoming my favourite band/group.

[@nmacog]

The band that will change have tapped into a new era of making modern music with a refreshing outlook - just fantastic - ready for the second album now - can't stop listening to I E E it's perfection but neeeeed more !!!

The air is getting thinner and thinner At such heights when you're lacking oxygen, you may think you're normal but you're not You're moving in a dream A dream that deludes and debilitates...

Climbing a mountain or excavating an old world building ,or entering a lost realm, ether the way ,gr8 tune.. Long live the old world, cause it was far by far more n more beautiful 😥, and I am sad and cold ,@home all alone ,all the voices have left an I am sorrowed..I miss her and I am so sorry for my failures, plz forgive me for living a lazy drug fueled life, I c the old n hear the thought dead, the darkness is closing in ,an I am becoming pure light, I don't want to fail again, let us araise through the clouds, remember when we were in free-flight, why did we fail from grace

[@EmilyWheelerEmz]

Saw you guys at beautiful days and loved it!

[@mradriankool]

Chokes me every time I hear this, the perfect match of images & words, washed over with a beautiful psb soundtrack, the tears start at "2 very small cutting step........" So by the time the horn section comes in I'm a mess :) I love this and they are even better live

[@LoopGaRoove]

Truly superb.

[@Eoin15Connolly]

brilliant tune and an awesome group. I lhope to hear lots more from PSB in the future. As a (rather average) climber and mountaineer, that last question and answer 'Why should a man climb Everest?' 'Because it is there' chokes me up a bit every time I hear it - The man who answered that question was George Mallory, he died along with Andrew Irvine making one of the first serious attempts on the summit in 1924 - two of many who didn't return from the peak. RIP to all who have died on Everest

[@Flur1]

Absolutley correct,PSB,incredible music.The most amazing music i've heard in many many years.End of message..
