When this song started playing during the battle for Orr, chills went down my spine as I was fighting. The personal story was worth it for that moment alone.Gotta learn this on piano.
camsac i learned it on piano and played it in front of a audience of 200+...hardest music I ever played. If you want to play it the way you hear it here, go very slowly when you're learning, the pacing and feeling of the song are very particular and I got it right after 6 month of playing it unregularely. Playing full force the ending doubled melody still hurts my wrist articulation sometimes. It's a super fun song to learn though, that works great with reverb :D.
god this makes me cry.. think about how far the stories come.. how much the commander has sacrificed. the fallen and lost. the victories long since past and the new fears to come. it makes one both hopeful and miserable. sometimes you can't win the battles. but as long as your still standing. you can live to fight another day. the soldiers of old salute you on your way. thank you for reading this whoever may do so.
I'm a very nostalgic person, and when I hear music like this in games, I am able to ingrain a lot of happy memories inside my head. And these memories only return to me when I hear those same songs again... and what a joy that is! And Jeremy Soule is absolutely amazing! Oblivion themes still bring back many wonderful memories! And I hope the same will be true for GW2.
Tybalts sacrifice ultimately allowed us to save the world from countless horrors, now we've defeated Zhaitan, Mordermoth and Krakatorik. New challenge awaits!
The best moment ever in-game, you just hear the music while the fight is going in a crucial moment of the story line, no swords sparring sounds, no voices shouting, just epic.
Standing amongst your fallen comrades. You, your sword, and a horde of undead orrians. And Trahearn. You make your desparate final stand to save humanity as you know it, but your weapon weighs you down, arms feel like lead as you stave off the endless tide. Your allies fall around you, hope is dim, yet the line holds firm, fueled by resolve, and hatred. You made an oath. Fear nothing, not the darkness, not the tide. Just one more night, lest the demons take you.
Standing in the Magumma Jungle alongside your comrades Caladbolg held tightly in your hand Hot tears running down your face knowing what must be done. But in order to do so, you must kill one of your closest friends.
man where this song played in the game was the best moment in the hole game in my opinion better than the other 2 moments in the DLCs the i really felt like a hero who had overcome mountains to kill that dragon
Im going to use opinion over here and i think its not the best game ever. Played it over 500 hours but guild wars 1 was a whole lot better in my opinion.
Jason Chen The persona said indeed one of the best games ever. I disagree and think its actually better then GW1 (although the amount of content should be going up on a faster pace imo). The biggest issue is that many GW1 players expected GW2 to be a modernised version of GW1, it is a totally different game and people had wrong expectations, But it is a very good game.
IkeOld I agree with you. GW2 has strong (general gameplay, story, customisation of your character,...) and weak points (the little amount of skills, some monotony in PvE,...), and is not really comparable to GW1. Although the story is the future of GW1, the way you play GW2 is too different to make any comparaison, but Arena succeeded keeping the GW mentality in both games. They're both awesome, and none is best than the other in my opinion, just different, and from a different time (GW1 was created something like 7 years ago, while GW2 is not even 2 yo ^^).
Jeremy Soule has made my Elder Scrolls wanderings magical, and awe inspiring. To take on such worlds with such deep and moving music to accompany you was amazing. When I heard this track in Orr after many friends lead me to this beautiful world and rich characters, My heart dropped. I knew it was Soule, I felt a familiar link to it all. And when the credits ran after the battle against Zaitan and I heard the singing of Asja along with his music I lost it. This kind of music is truly the core of emotional response. I still get chills when hearing these songs.
This music always calms me down... and always seems to put me in a better mood. Not because it's music set to an epic game (personal opinion), but because of the integrity of the music itself. It's calming, and also inspirational. True master piece Mr. Soule.
When this started playing during my personal story the hair the back of my neck stood up and goosebumps spread along my arms. I find very few games can deliver that and I honestly didn't really expect it from Guild Wars 2.
I can see this at the very end of GW2 after all the Elder Dragons are dead. It's a song for mourning the dead, and for the heroic sacrifices that finally brought the world to peace. RIP Heroes, you shall never be forgotten.
I haven't played the piano in years... but I'm going to buy, learn this song, and play it before I leave the house, when I get home, and before I go to bed for the rest of my life!
this truly shows how games arent just games these days, not if they want to thrive in the world. They are expressions of art and culture and new medium to deliver some classic forms of beauty and art, in Visual artistic style in old and new fashions, literacy and story telling that lets us live the story, and to this video, a expression of music that most of us might not normally listen to but still, when we do, it takes to a common place together but separate like music should. Masterpiece game
Getting to the end of the main-story and finally hearing this song in-game. I just stopped what I was doing and sat down to listen. Then a crappy magician summoned rainbow animals and started a party. Wat
@@Immort4llity I got halfway through. I hadnt learned to read music but instead I memorized one of those 'guitar hero-like' piano covers on youtube. Now Ive forgotten. :'( Lent my piano/keyboard to someone else that wanted to try piano.
@@Perfectionado Half a beautiful song is better than none at all. Keep doing what you're passionate about! There are virtual pianos and public pianos in libraries. :)
What's the deal with Tyblat and his apples? Besides, if he would just sell apples he would be a mere merchant/farmer, not Whispers operative which in turn... why I even...
I Remember trying this beautifully Majestic track 7 years ago, getting lost of a world of my own atop a cliff shrouded by silver clouds as the Sunrays slowly pierce through the gray.
I know realise in how many parts of the game, this track is palyed in alternate versions. For example when you watch the panoramas in the grove. Really love this!!:3
When I hear this song, it all comes back. That attack on Claw Island, The Counter Attack, The Final Push into Orr. Trahearne's Last Stand... and fucking Apples... Fucking Apples... Damn it... Tybalt... T_____T
Recently got back into gw2 saw my character i got to lvl 80 and now i stumble on to this theme and my god the feels i got. Truly a amazing game. Was a pain to get dx9 to dx12 mod to work, but it was well worth the pain so i can play it on window 10 with max fps. Truly a breath taking mmorpg.
why do people hate Trahearne? I loved him, still do.. only Sylvari I'll ever like along with Kenach... so he gets credit for leading the pact? yet he continuously says its you doing the hard work, then in the LS it gets underlined by everyone else, I really like him, and I hope he survives Mordremoth.. but if he doesn't, I hope he gets a glorious death, he deserves it. that said, absolutely hate what they did to the personal story now.
This is the second game that really make me care about the characters, and at the end of chapter 7 when Trahearne was doing the ritual to clean orr and, this song start playing without other sounds on the background, i just can't contain myself and cry a little, it was really emotional. Trahearne was the one that made me like the sylvari and all other races as whole.
Brian Huis It's the little things that make us hate Trahearne, like : When he says "WE did it hero" at the end of Claw Island battle, while he was just sitting here, having a nap and giving almost no orders for all the fight. Should have said "YOU did it guys ! Great job to YOU and my AWSOME commander !!!" When he knockback your foes EVERYTIME you put an AoE on the ground ! Or my personal favourite, when he completly vanish from the world and you have to restart the instance because you can't go any further without him. Happens a lot in the chapter juste before Fort Trinity, when you have to kill the Lich. I mean COME ON Trahearne ! There is a warning message in the middle of your screen when you cross the instance border, why to you move any further ?! :< Yep, I hate this humain-like tree and all of his kind, except for Magister Sieran of course :p (Sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, English is not my first langage
DranerFox i would rather take tybalt or the sylvari from the priory instead, trehearne just seems a bit boring, his sole reason to be there is to act as your voice really.
Can't believe it has been almost 4 years since I completed the main story at the end of 2012. I still remember the moment when I was attacked by this amazing piece whose vocal version is always my favourite; I was stunned and suddenly wanted to cry - the ending was so touching.
was playing this on the piano today. I like to think of the piece in two halfs, the first showing the beginning of the end for the races of tyria individually, and the second much more vivid stronger half showing how they band together to overcome their struggles. Epic!
Huh. I fell asleep with this on loop and had some of the best dreams ever. People who had come and gone were back, the love of my life had returned, the world was at peace. Never felt so rested in my life.
I feel like it was the atmosphere that was the most jarring change from guild wars to guild wars 2. It took me a while to figure it out but listening to this piece, it really evokes a feeling of perseverance through grim sadness with nothing but a distant hope for something better to drive you forward. This matched perfectly with my expectation as a guild wars 1 fan, since that game had a dark gritty atmosphere. not the darkest, or the grittiest, but it was far from campy. Then Guild Wars 2 comes around and everything is bright, cheesy, and cartoony. I don't mind the watercolor art style. That idea was wonderful, but the execution was too bright. the story, which on paper had the potential to be the darkest story yet in guild wars lore, ended up being executed with too many jokes, too much happiness, and a general lack of fear and struggle against an extinction level threat...
Thank you so much for uploading this! I had no idea what song this was, and when I found out, I definitely wanted to listen to the instrumental version.
This is one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard. This game isnt only awsome PvP and a pretty Story. Its art! Its beauty! Its alive! The music, the landscapes, the conceptart and the characterdesign make this game worth the 7 jears of developement.
you nailed it man, at first i was having doubts about having a sylvari warrior, but sure enough when you reach that moment , sword and shield raised protecting Trehearne ,forgal in mind and vigil reinforcements coming as wave after wave of risen fall at my feet as the singing starts... kickass dude.
This is just one of those tunes that you can sit back, close your eyes and just FEEL the music. Im kinda glad not all the music in the world is like that, because then this wouldnt be considered as a masterpiece.
i love the the lyricle version a lot, but this version just has so much to it. I feel as it can be used for many things, relaxing music for example, and at the same time it sounds a little mournful, as though you would hear this playing in the background during the death of a character in an anime or something, just wonderful. Thanks for the upload
This track was originally made by an intern at ArenaNet and won a competition so it was put in the Gamescom trailer. After people liked it so much Anet got Soule to make Fear Not This Night out of it.
nah man, i was justing out if i could write comment again, because it wasn't possible a few seconds before! I loved the vid, thanks for the upload :) you did an awesome job!
I do not look at Guild Wars 2 as a Game, I look at it as a new world full of art, life, and passion. There is no limit to the things that can happen. There is no limit to what you can do. There is no limit to the magnificent work that the Arena-net team has put in to this game, and still are.
I remember listening to this music before Guild Wars 2 came out. I was so excited about it, it looked like such a beautiful game (and it is!). I had pretty much no life, and was looking for a video game to suck me in and get me addicted like WoW did before Cataclysm came out. Everyone kept saying that GW2 is gonna be ever better than WoW. When I finally bought GW2 I was really excited making my first character and exploring the world. I played for a few days, but the game never sucked me in the way WoW did. The art was beautiful but something was just missing. This music makes me sad because it reminds me of something that I'm not sure if I'll ever experience again. I am at least thankful I did get to experience it, and I'm happy for people who did get into GW2 and had more fun with it that I did.
Dear "Guild wars family" I started playing Guild wars about 4 years ago; I remember as a kid even hearing about a Guild wars game coming out. for me Guild wars has brought life to games in its art, gave everyone a reason to be competitive in gaming, its music inspiring, its community bonding, I've met friends from all over the world, we played, laughed, sung, and yes even cried, OUR WAIT IS OVER here WE ARE,about to play the greatest game of OUR lives ..Guildwars is my life, a new story begins
I know this is long overdue, but I put a link to download a 320kbps mp3 of this extended track in the description. Since it is not available anywhere officially, even on the physical soundtrack, it's almost criminal not to spread the love. Enjoy!
this piano goes deep like the game. sounds and graphics are sooooo amazing. guild wars 2 is by far the best game i have ever played. everyone who likes fantasy games, mmorpgs and loves details should defenitely play it.
Where is the composer of this masterpiece now? Why Jaremy Soule, composer of this track, composer of Skyrim and other great tracks is no longer needed? Bring Jeremy Soule back!!!
Guild Wars 2 is not just a game. It's art.. The redefining moment of when MMO's become less cookie cutter and let YOU play how you want to play. No more arguing on teamspeak for me who is tanking or healing this time around. I can kick the hell out of what i want because the game allows me too. No more do i have to sit there and grind repeatedly on the same boring quests. Guild Wars 2 is simply going to leave a wake through the industry, and give us the quality we deserve!
Nice words man, i think the same. In my honest opinion i think this will be the best game of 2012 and definitively the best mmorpg made to this day . I had the privilege to play the second and last beta sadly i couldnt play the first one and i had the most fun i had in any game in all my gaming years. WvW, personal storyline, all the details, the music etc this game is really something else ArenaNet guys put their heart and soul in this game and the result is pure Epicness.
Flashbacks of the beta weekends, grand battles in WvW, and playing my characters through their story...while hearing this, erupts goosebumps beyond measure.
A few years ago when Arena net first talked about Guild Wars 2, i said to my friends and to all the gamer I know that this game was just gonna be awesome and that everyone would play to it. I said that it was gonna be a hugue concurrent for WoW, nobody agreed with me, saying that this game had no single chance to become famous... Today they're all waiting for his release... Sorry for the bad English Love GW2, can't wait any longer
His music is awesome. You can hear the influence of the elder scrolls in the GW2 music too. It's new and exciting, but with just the right amount of homely nostalgia.
I cannot WAIT to get my soundtrack in the mail. There is seriously not one piece I dislike on this entire track. Jeremy Soule is my new mancrush. Wait... Oh well. 08.25.12! YESSSS~
Hmm, I came here quite randomly, clicked this thinking I'd listen to about 20 seconds and move on. Ended up listening to the whole thing twice. I didn't play Guild Wars, but I've heard a lot of excitement from my friends and the internet about Guild Wars 2, and after listening to this, I'm in.
This song, it just makes you feel as if Tyria's very Soul itself is fighting alongside you in your battles, seeking freedom from both Gods and Dragons. Celebrating with us in our victories, weeping with us in our defeats, all the time waiting for the final enemy to fall forever. May Tyria one day be free. May that day be soon.
As I sit here, listening to this serene music, I look back and see my Beta Weekend Warrior, leaping into the hordes of centaur with his dual swords and unleashing bloody hell. Yes... this withdrawal isn't going away any time soon.
And classical music lives on subtly through video games and movies.
When this song started playing during the battle for Orr, chills went down my spine as I was fighting. The personal story was worth it for that moment alone.Gotta learn this on piano.
camsac I had exact the same feeling. Still in fight and no doubt you can lose this fight, amazing.
camsac i learned it on piano and played it in front of a audience of 200+...hardest music I ever played. If you want to play it the way you hear it here, go very slowly when you're learning, the pacing and feeling of the song are very particular and I got it right after 6 month of playing it unregularely. Playing full force the ending doubled melody still hurts my wrist articulation sometimes. It's a super fun song to learn though, that works great with reverb :D.
Good luck bro, i'm gonna start to learn it too :D
This song is...
No words
god yess all the other sounds like monsters just become silenced and all u hear are occasional magic chants and the music hnnn
Pro tip : Listen to this song and watch all your GW2 screenshots in fullscreen mode. It's worth it.
oh the nostalgia... Damn, this game was and still is awesome.
Listen to this at night. In a completely silent room. Darkness. Close your eyes. Enjoy. It's so much more immersive at night.
No i don't want to cry :(
Too emotional my dude. I hate and love you at the same time now.
Omfg i did that too
Rest well, Marshall
god this makes me cry.. think about how far the stories come.. how much the commander has sacrificed. the fallen and lost. the victories long since past and the new fears to come. it makes one both hopeful and miserable. sometimes you can't win the battles. but as long as your still standing. you can live to fight another day. the soldiers of old salute you on your way. thank you for reading this whoever may do so.
❤🥰😍😘❤️ Yes I'll keep searching to save your life. 😭😭😭
I'm a very nostalgic person, and when I hear music like this in games, I am able to ingrain a lot of happy memories inside my head. And these memories only return to me when I hear those same songs again... and what a joy that is!

The world's a funny place, Lightbringer. As long as we keep laughing, I guess we're not dead.
Damn, I dig that quote a lot.
Can we just not forgot the real hero here?
Without Tybalt, our character wouldn't have been there ;-;
For me it was Warmaster Forgal....
Tybalts sacrifice ultimately allowed us to save the world from countless horrors, now we've defeated Zhaitan, Mordermoth and Krakatorik. New challenge awaits!

@@brianz5011❤🥰😍😘❤️ 😭😭😭
A decade has passed but, this track still burns so bright.
Fear not this night,
You will not go astray
🔥
The best moment ever in-game, you just hear the music while the fight is going in a crucial moment of the story line, no swords sparring sounds, no voices shouting, just epic.
Standing amongst your fallen comrades.
You, your sword, and a horde of undead orrians.
And Trahearn.
You make your desparate final stand to save humanity as you know it, but your weapon weighs you down, arms feel like lead as you stave off the endless tide.
Your allies fall around you, hope is dim, yet the line holds firm, fueled by resolve, and hatred. You made an oath.
Fear nothing, not the darkness, not the tide.
Just one more night, lest the demons take you.
Clockwork *applause*
Standing in the Magumma Jungle alongside your comrades
Caladbolg held tightly in your hand
Hot tears running down your face knowing what must be done.
But in order to do so, you must kill one of your closest friends.

Pretty sure something VERY similar to this plays when you view a vista in The Grove.

Theres always that one song that inspires people to pick up or try piano. This was mine.

Oh my god, Jeremy Soule is so amazing when it comes to composing. He is the only classical music composer that I can listen to for hours.
Beautiful music, beautiful story and world - all this in one beautiful game, GW2.
why do people hate Trahearne? I loved him, still do.. only Sylvari I'll ever like along with Kenach...

Jeremy Soule is an absolute genius. Some of the best orchestral music of our time. It's so relaxing to listen to~
Your comment along with the opening bars of this theme made me well up...
Guild Wars for life.
Jeremy soule has defined my nostalgia for quality games
was playing this on the piano today. I like to think of the piece in two halfs, the first showing the beginning of the end for the races of tyria individually, and the second much more vivid stronger half showing how they band together to overcome their struggles. Epic!
Brilliant, exactly what I was looking for. One of the most different video game music ever. Just brilliant.
Huh. I fell asleep with this on loop and had some of the best dreams ever. People who had come and gone were back, the love of my life had returned, the world was at peace.
Never felt so rested in my life.
Ive played many other games with jeremy soule's music in it, but all the music in guild wars 2 is probably the most beautiful ive ever heard

Playing GW2 with this music in the background is an awesome experience.
Beautiful, this music is so epic even if I no longer play the game, I love listening.
nah man, i was justing out if i could write comment again, because it wasn't possible a few seconds before! I loved the vid, thanks for the upload :) you did an awesome job!
Jeremy Soule is amazing... I can't imagine Guild Wars being Guild Wars without his beautiful, inspiring music.
I do not look at Guild Wars 2 as a Game, I look at it as a new world full of art, life, and passion.
There is no limit to the things that can happen.
There is no limit to what you can do.
There is no limit to the magnificent work that the Arena-net team has put in to this game, and still are.
My friend, one journey has end, but another epic one has just begun...
I remember listening to this music before Guild Wars 2 came out. I was so excited about it, it looked like such a beautiful game (and it is!). I had pretty much no life, and was looking for a video game to suck me in and get me addicted like WoW did before Cataclysm came out. Everyone kept saying that GW2 is gonna be ever better than WoW.
When I finally bought GW2 I was really excited making my first character and exploring the world. I played for a few days, but the game never sucked me in the way WoW did. The art was beautiful but something was just missing. This music makes me sad because it reminds me of something that I'm not sure if I'll ever experience again.
I am at least thankful I did get to experience it, and I'm happy for people who did get into GW2 and had more fun with it that I did.
this video gives me the chills everytime. i wish you guys a happy 2013 may your wishes come true!
Dear "Guild wars family" I started playing Guild wars about 4 years ago; I remember as a kid even hearing about a Guild wars game coming out. for me Guild wars has brought life to games in its art, gave everyone a reason to be competitive in gaming, its music inspiring, its community bonding, I've met friends from all over the world, we played, laughed, sung, and yes even cried, OUR WAIT IS OVER here WE ARE,about to play the greatest game of OUR lives ..Guildwars is my life, a new story begins
Tonn, Never give up. Go out like a champ. You will be missed little guy.
Getting hyped for the stress test 15 minutes before it starts.
Oh the irony of epic-soothing music in preparation for stress.
Every time. Every goddamn time. I listen to this piece of music, and I tear up. So powerful.
I know this is long overdue, but I put a link to download a 320kbps mp3 of this extended track in the description. Since it is not available anywhere officially, even on the physical soundtrack, it's almost criminal not to spread the love. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for uploading this!
this piano goes deep like the game. sounds and graphics are sooooo amazing. guild wars 2 is by far the best game i have ever played. everyone who likes fantasy games, mmorpgs and loves details should defenitely play it.
you are a genius putting emotions into words
What a gorgeous rendition of this song :')
Simply beautiful. It's great to have running in the background. :)
Absolutely amazing, so relaxing and beautiful :D
Am I the only one who still misses Warmaster Forgal? :(
You are not the only one...
The lore of the Guild Wars universe is really well done. Very flew plot holes, I love it. :D
Where is the composer of this masterpiece now? Why Jaremy Soule, composer of this track, composer of Skyrim and other great tracks is no longer needed? Bring Jeremy Soule back!!!
Man, this music gives me shivers
I swear, when I get the soundtrack in the mail, I'm just going to put this one on loop for hours.
So beautiful T-T
Guild Wars 2 is not just a game. It's art..
The redefining moment of when MMO's become less cookie cutter and let YOU play how you want to play. No more arguing on teamspeak for me who is tanking or healing this time around. I can kick the hell out of what i want because the game allows me too.
No more do i have to sit there and grind repeatedly on the same boring quests.
Guild Wars 2 is simply going to leave a wake through the industry, and give us the quality we deserve!
Nice words man, i think the same. In my honest opinion i think this will be the best game of 2012 and definitively the best mmorpg made to this day . I had the privilege to play the second and last beta sadly i couldnt play the first one and i had the most fun i had in any game in all my gaming years. WvW, personal storyline, all the details, the music etc this game is really something else ArenaNet guys put their heart and soul in this game and the result is pure Epicness.
Jeremy Soule is one hell of a genius.
The Skyrim Soundtrack was pure epic, and now this?
This guy is killing me (in a good way ^^)
So beautiful, I played this part of the trailer over and over :p
Flashbacks of the beta weekends, grand battles in WvW, and playing my characters through their story...while hearing this, erupts goosebumps beyond measure.
A few years ago when Arena net first talked about Guild Wars 2, i said to my friends and to all the gamer I know that this game was just gonna be awesome and that everyone would play to it. I said that it was gonna be a hugue concurrent for WoW, nobody agreed with me, saying that this game had no single chance to become famous... Today they're all waiting for his release...
Sorry for the bad English
Love GW2, can't wait any longer
His music is awesome. You can hear the influence of the elder scrolls in the GW2 music too. It's new and exciting, but with just the right amount of homely nostalgia.
You can`t be enough hyped for a masterpiece like this! Its like HEAVEN but better!
I cannot WAIT to get my soundtrack in the mail.
There is seriously not one piece I dislike on this entire track.
Jeremy Soule is my new mancrush.
Wait...
Oh well. 08.25.12! YESSSS~
I nearly cried listening to this.
It's pretty beautiful.
Hmm, I came here quite randomly, clicked this thinking I'd listen to about 20 seconds and move on. Ended up listening to the whole thing twice. I didn't play Guild Wars, but I've heard a lot of excitement from my friends and the internet about Guild Wars 2, and after listening to this, I'm in.
Beautiful theme. People who say Jeremy always makes the same tracks over and over with a few twists haven't heard this theme before:D
I've listened to this 65 times today. that's no exaggeration.
Woua, thanks for the extended version, the music is so Beautiful !
~Of one fan French annoy to be able to play it.;)
This gives me chills..., and tears. The awesomeness is overwhelming.
Thanks for linking that Epic Screenshot...*click* Now added to my screensaver slideshow of GW2 wallpapers. I'm such a collector! =)
The way the song was used in the Zhaitan fight was so awesome :-)
Bless you for making this
This song, it just makes you feel as if Tyria's very Soul itself is fighting alongside you in your battles, seeking freedom from both Gods and Dragons. Celebrating with us in our victories, weeping with us in our defeats, all the time waiting for the final enemy to fall forever.
May Tyria one day be free.
May that day be soon.
God, I love this piece so much. It's so beautiful.
Gratz to the composer! Jeremy Soule!
Totally AMAZING!!!!:)....espically in 7.5 surround sound :) Thx for such an awesome piece!
Still love this song... reminds me of the beginning of GW2 which was the best time ever playing a game for me
This song could just go on forever...
As I sit here, listening to this serene music, I look back and see my Beta Weekend Warrior, leaping into the hordes of centaur with his dual swords and unleashing bloody hell. Yes... this withdrawal isn't going away any time soon.
i love you
Best piano song that I ever heard, and also addictive!
