Song information
Wrote this after watching the movie they made about the Mt Everest expedition in 1996 where they were hit by a huge storm that killed a good deal of them. The first verse was about Vesper Peak in Washington, which I've been to the top of. Somebody did go up there, and on the way wasn't paying attention, watching apps on her phone, or I think watching one of the Bachelor type shows on it. She was never found again. I've hiked and scrambled mountains a great deal over the last 30 years and am still here. The picture here is my summit pic from Mt Adams, which is the second highest mountain in the state of Washington.

Lyrics
Never underestimate a mountain
Cause it sometimes makes its own weather

Vesper Peak was the name
You can see it far in the plain
I know I've been there myself
Privileged to sit on the high shelf 

Group went up there one day
One of them went astray

Engrossed in her phone and her apps
Never to be seen again she disappeared 
No one found a trace
Seems she vanished forever

REPEAT FIRST VERSE:

There was the top of the world to see
Halfway across the globe it was to be
In '96 they thought they were dong it right
But one still lays up there in the dead of night

Another said he'd get to the top no matter how
But a slide carried him away with his vow

Were they taking a chance
Or was it something that was meant to be
And no one will find it out
It just ain't plain to see

Here's to all of us
Who never let anything get in our way
Manage to make it through
And come around to face another day

REPEAT FIRST VERSE:

Engaging theme. Good storytelling.
I really like your choice of "voices" on the keys.
Cool as a mountaintop!

I could feel the 'cold wind' in your instrumentation. A very smart recording with a truer than true story behind it.
