    New Model Army are from Bradford, and a few of their songs include references to the surrounding hills, e.g. from "High":

    "Down beneath the swoosh of the turbines, the long grass blows in ripples
    There's a beautiful spiral of roads that leads the lost up here
    I was watching the birds taking off to swoop down over the city
    They find and take just what they need and turn, turn, turn


    The movers move, the shakers shake, the winners write their history
    But from high on the high hills it all looks like nothing"
    Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun — to run

    What about Rodgers & Hammerstein, that well-known Elite Mountain Marathon team. Surely they wrote the definitive fell-runners anthem?


    Climb every mountain, search high and low
    Follow every byway, every path you know
    Climb every mountain, ford every stream
    Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream

    / C D G - Gm7 C Fmaj7 - / Fm6 - C - Dm7 G7 C - / :

    A dream that will need
    All the love you can give
    Every day of your life
    For as long as you live

    / F - / Dm G C Cmaj7 Am D7 /
    / G - / Em7 A D - D7 - /

    Climb every mountain, ford every stream
    Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream

    / G A7 D - Dm7 G Cmaj7 - /
    / Am Am7 Dm Dm7 C Am/maj7 F6 G7 C Dm7 C - /

    {Repeat last two verses}
