Is it just me or is the line “these people raised me” so deep? Like if you think abt it yes your parents raised you but it’s not just them, it’s also the people you surround yourself with
Fuck that hits so hard. Life is a series of moments you can never get back. So make the most of it and remember the people who helped get you to where you are.
Wish I can make the most of it.Trapped in my room as my family acts like they didn’t inflict bs for the past 28 days.😭Man I’m 17 and I’m so antisocial it’s not funny.This year will be different.I can’t be in my 20”s contemplating about my high school era.
Ugh, this songs makes me cry every single time. Especialy the last part: "One friend left to sell clothes One works down by the coast One had two kids but lives alone One’s brother overdosed Ones already on his second wife Ones just barely getting by But these people raised me And I can’t wait to go home" Because I know I am probably never going home, and I will probably never see them again. It really hurts.
I was never in a close-knit group of friends, just seemed to be the 'other' or an outsider. I do envy close childhood friendships regardless of how adult circumstances may change over time. As a middle aged bloke I've come to the realisation that I must be not likeable. That's life!
@@kennethdesales3888 talking to me? not really, i am introvert, doesn't mean im anti-social or that i hate people or all this kind of stuff that people relate to introverts but it's not the real definition of introversion.
I'd be honored if some Ed Sheeran fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael and PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends of both yesterday & today.
@@moorejeffery1490 Hey Moore, I don't know if these words will effect you in any way, but I just want you to know that you have still got your whole life ahead of you. Despite myself being closer to your age (24) I've learned a great deal about myself as a person, while still getting a hold of this whole "adulting" thing. No matter what family members, peers, or strangers may say, you take the time you need to figure out what you want out of life. There will be times where you may feel lost and not quite sure if you're taking the right path to success, but you will get there eventually. Best of luck to your future and know that others will always be rooting for you on the sidelines.
@Moore Jeffrey I'm 17 too. I don't wanna get into my life, but it's rough (as many people's are). I suggest reading First Things First by Covey Leadership - it'll be worth it
“These people raised me” it’s such a powerful message which I can relate completely because it’s not only parents who raise us, it’s the Neighbours , next door uncle aunts friends everybody with whom we spent countless moments of our lives,
@@2AM_huddylol Neighbours in India are like extended family. You can go to their place/ask for help anytime you want. All the festivals are celebrated together with neighbours.
For me, this is the best song of Ed, it hits so freaking hard. When we're young, we meet people, then they become our friends, and then we think that it's going to last forever. But with the time, most of them go away, and it's not our or their fault, it just happens. Although, in the end, the memories never go away; it can be a simple habit, or a moment. liking it or not, they stay with us.
Everyone talks about how sad it is that we waste our childhood trying to grow up, but it's equally sad that we waste the rest of our lives wishing we were younger.
When I was six years old, I broke my leg When I was running from my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down Well, I was younger then, take me back to when I found my heart and broke it here Made friends and lost them through the years And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown But I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those country lanes Singing to "Tiny Dancer" And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real And we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill 15 years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes Running from the law through the backfields And getting drunk with my friends Had my first kiss on a Friday night I don't reckon that I did it right But I was younger then, take me back to when We found weekend jobs, when we got paid We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we've grown But I can't wait to go home I'm on my way (hoo-hoo) Driving at 90 down those country lanes (hoo-hoo) Singing to "Tiny Dancer" And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real And we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo), over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill One friend left to sell clothes, one works down by the coast One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home And I'm on my way I still remember these old country lanes When we did not know the answers And I miss the way (hoo-hoo) you make me feel, it's real When we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo) over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
I feel like this is not actually a song to youth but to young adults. Those just old enough to have left home a few years ago and grow up a bit. Like after a year or two at university. A song to look back on 'the good old days' and realize that while all of them have developed in different directions your friends are still your friends and are likely to stay that forever. But that might be my interpretation only because I'm just that age :D
Trekki200 this is a good interpretation. For me, I'm in my mid 30's and this makes me think of going to my hometown. I've done a lot of growing up and changing over the years, but I will never forget where I came from. This is one of the most nostalgic songs I have ever heard.
I m leaving this comment here so that every time someone likes it I will listen to this masterpiece over again so even when I will grow I won t forget about this💗
I love the town I live in but I hate the fact that everybody knows everyone. I feel like if you fucked up once, it will be known and remembered by the whole town forever
This right here....this comment literally just broke me down. This world has turned to shit, but this comment....this is the beacon of hope I’ve been searching for.
Well, sadly. I don't have any childhood "human" friends. They're all just imaginary friends. Imagination was my only friend that never left my side 'til now, unlike my "human" friends at school.
That's soo cool bro! Can you help me with my journey of learning japanese? In exchange i can answer any question about English that you might have (although i doubt you'll need my help) my name is Ali, will you be my friend?
That's awesome... I'm american and would love to learn to speak Japanese cause my grandma is from Japan. Listen to Outkast and the dungeon family albums when your ready to enhance your mind and vocabulary. God bless and good luck.
dude i have only 14 years and the only thing i do is be with my phone. omfg this video really show me that i have to live the life with my dear friends not in an electronic device. Really thank you so much Ed
SUBSCRIBE ME I'LL SUBSCRIBE YOU BACK I may be “to young” but I still know the pain of having to leave the only home you’ve ever had. I had to go live on the other side of the world, leaving all my friends, never seeing them again, and not having contact with them ever again. I think about they every day, because all the people here suck. But, I’ve managed to get over it. And be happy where I am. But I get it, I’m still a child. And I’m fine with that.
This song hits totally hard for those people who miss childhood and when meeting with old classmates/friends would talk about the memories had together and like laughing about it and wishing we didn't grow this fast
This song says home to me. The beauty of the English countryside and the weight of history. Wherever you are in the world, I hope that you all get to return to the place that you call home.
This song is for my son. It tells of his growing up with his friends at the same time as Ed, 30 miles away from where Ed did. We lost him through drugs and severe mental illness. But he lived that beautiful experience, growing up in rural East anglia, doing the same crazy stuff. Ed tells a story of many young people but the endings are different.
I'm sorry for your son, unfortunately we are losing our young people to drugs! It would be good for all parents to have one faith, one path to follow and not forsake their children even for a second, just like the animals that take care of their young until adulthood! do not lose hope, one day you will see your son, trust in GOD. look for it can comfort your heart
This song is so touching, because it actually tells about us when we were young. Careless, sloppy, rebellious, and do not know who we are. We don't know we're making a memory, we're just having fun at the time. Sometimes we regret it, but sometimes we want to repeat it. And when we look back at the hill that witnessed our mischief, everything has changed. And we can't go back there, we can only enjoy the remnants of memories.
when we"re kids we wanted to grow up , now we cant stop thinking about the past , life . miss all that gave me great memories and stuck with me with all the bad once , where ever you are good luck in life
I'm 26 and most of my closest friends are dead. This song hits me hard and I come back to remember the time I had with them. They'd want me to keep moving and that's what I plan on doing.
Your only 26 I'm 73 and I love this song it reminds me of my happy youth and lots of sad memories also but it's good to remember all of what's happened in your life stay strong and stay safe
I am about to graduate from college . Me and my friends always play this everytime we drink. I cannot imagine how nostalgic this song is gonna be and the memories it is gonna bring back few years later when all of us will be on our own ways. Just thinking about it makes me wana tear up. Cause seriously "this people raised me"

I'm listening to this as a 16 year old about to turn 17 in 29 minutes. I decided I would listen to a few songs before turning 17 as I will never be 16 again.This is officially the last song I'll listen to at 16 and plan to come back at 17 before I turn 18. :') 💗 -Rose (Jan 28th, 2022) Edit 2023: Hello there, guys. 17 year old me turning 18 in 15 minutes here. I didn't expect this comment to get as many likes and replies as it did. Thank you all for the kind birthday messages and advice you gave to 17 year old me. I followed a ton of your advice and 17 wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. It was stressful, but it wasn't as much as a huge jump as I thought it was going to be. Time flies, but I'm enjoying my youth while I'm still young. I'm nervous to graduate this year (2023) in a few months, but I think it will all work out. I know I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I Love all of you guys and I'll try to keep the same advice I got for 17 while I'm 18. I guess that's it for now. I'll come back here and listen to this song when I am 18 a few minutes from turning 19. Thank you again. - Rose 💗 Edit: 2024 Wow. 19? Already? It feels like I was just here. 5 minutes and I'll officially be 19. First let me state the obvious: AS SOON AS I GET MY DRIVERS LICENSE YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I'M GONNA BLAST TINY DANCER AT 19 WHILE I DRIVE BY THE OLD COUNTRY LAKE BY MY HOUSE. YES, I WILL SCREAM THE LYRICS. ALSO, YES, I WILL PROBABLY CRY. Anyways, I graduated high school last summer and I'm proud of myself. :) It was difficult for me, but I got my diploma. It feels strange knowing this is my last year being a teenager, but I know I still have so many memories to make. Thank you all again so much for the advice and replies. :) Knowing that there are people willing to have so much compassion for the random internet kid that posted about her 17th birthday a couple years ago brings tears to my eyes. Thank you again. I wish all of you a Happy Birthday, no matter what day you celebrate. Remember to smell the flowers, hug your family, and smile at a stranger. God bless and You are Loved. :') -Rose 💗
Happy birthday, i remember last year when i was about to turn 20 I thought what should I do to celebrate, then I decided I should just watch a movie while moving to the next decade of my life. So I watched Nobody(2021) while turning 20. Alright movie.
Happy Birthday Love! I would tell my 16 year old self, ‘you are absolutely beautiful and perfect!’ Stay close to your true friends and never lose touch, and follow your dreams now, no matter how fantastical.’
this song actually made me cry at the line “ but these people raised me”. And that is so true. I can just think back to times when my friends were the only people there for me.
To those who want to sing along here's the lyrics. When I was six years old, I broke my leg I was running from my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down I was younger then, take me back to when I Found my heart and broke it here Made friends and lost them through the years And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long I know I've grown, but I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those country lanes Singing to Tiny Dancer And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes Running from the law through the backfields and Getting drunk with my friends Had my first kiss on a Friday night I don't reckon that I did it right, but I was younger then, take me back to when We found weekend jobs, when we got paid We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long Oh, how we've grown, but I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those country lanes Singing to Tiny Dancer And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill One friend left to sell clothes One works down by the coast One had two kids, but lives alone One's brother overdosed One's already on his second wife One's just barely getting by, but These people raised me And I can't wait to go home And I'm on my way I still remember these old country lanes When we did not know the answers And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill
Woah, that's a good point as to why someone who's young would cry to this song even though they currently can't relate to it (or can, whichever one) which i personally didn't think about.
@@gameman3981 that's true I'm pretty young but this song reminds me of all the happy memories I've had with all of my friends and how important they are...everyone has someone or something they long to go home to.❤️❤️
This song fills me with nostalgia, It makes me think of all those years ago that i first met her, life was great, but nowadays, struggle and arguments, but we still love each other
Ed's music is excellent , but everyone should really appreciate the music video team! It perfectly complements the song and that's hard to find these days! Excellent work
Thank you, Ed! For being a huge part of my life through your music. If I had ever become an artist, the greatest reward for me would have been how many hearts I had managed to touch. You have touched millions, remained forever in their memories, colored their moments with the light of your music, inspired hundreds of thousands, and made just as many believe in themselves. Thank you for being who you are!
Be honest, if you’re old enough to understand all of this then you know this hit hard , nostalgia is a damn strong thing and this was a great portrayal of it
1st time I heard it I was driving down I95. suddenly realized I was bawling my eyes out. I love the song, but it hurts to hear it all at the same time.....Even worse in the world we live in today!!!! I'm 55
Valentine Kringle where is i95? I feel you though man crazy how time works beautiful days though wouldn’t trade them for the world most of the worst days turned out to be the best hope your doing well !
I understand, but I’m thirteen. I’ve been enough hard stuff to make most people fall down. But here I am. Standing. And I know that the people that mean most to me are too.

PREACH
im still young and im scared i wont live my best life lol
When I was six years old, I broke my leg
When I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
Well, I was younger then, take me back to when
I found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
And we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
15 years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields
And getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
I don't reckon that I did it right
But I was younger then, take me back to when
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we've grown
But I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way (hoo-hoo)
Driving at 90 down those country lanes (hoo-hoo)
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
And we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo), over the castle on the hill
Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes, one works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home
And I'm on my way
I still remember these old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way (hoo-hoo) you make me feel, it's real
When we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo) over the castle on the hill
Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill

Totally true!
I feel like this is not actually a song to youth but to young adults. Those just old enough to have left home a few years ago and grow up a bit. Like after a year or two at university.
A song to look back on 'the good old days' and realize that while all of them have developed in different directions your friends are still your friends and are likely to stay that forever.
But that might be my interpretation only because I'm just that age :D
Trekki200 this is a good interpretation. For me, I'm in my mid 30's and this makes me think of going to my hometown. I've done a lot of growing up and changing over the years, but I will never forget where I came from. This is one of the most nostalgic songs I have ever heard.
In my opinion one of the best songs ever made. It’s emotional, it tells a story and it’s catchy

I wish I lived somewhere like that. Sprawling fields, actual culture, a place where everyone knows everyone.

I love the town I live in but I hate the fact that everybody knows everyone. I feel like if you fucked up once, it will be known and remembered by the whole town forever
FYI the town in the video is called Framlingham in the county of Suffolk in England. The 'Castle on the Hill' refers to the Castle in the town.

"These people raised me and I can't wait to go home."
Hits deep when you think about your childhood friends
those lyrics are pretty much how i felt when i moved back to my home town after living in a different state for 3 years
Well, sadly. I don't have any childhood "human" friends. They're all just imaginary friends. Imagination was my only friend that never left my side 'til now, unlike my "human" friends at school.
It does hit deep

That, “I can’t wait to go home” gives me goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME!
for me is the " when we didn't know the answer" the way ed hits the high note is out of this world
@@unknownajaya1692 Yep and when he says "When we didn't know the answer" that shows our old days when we were careless

Dude, I feel nostalgic about memories I don't have because of this dude. I still live in my hometown as a HS student. How does he do this.
The older I get the sadder this makes me cause now I understand the lyrics
Castle On The Hill
yup
I understand, and I’m only thirteen
SUBSCRIBE ME I'LL SUBSCRIBE YOU BACK I may be “to young” but I still know the pain of having to leave the only home you’ve ever had. I had to go live on the other side of the world, leaving all my friends, never seeing them again, and not having contact with them ever again. I think about they every day, because all the people here suck. But, I’ve managed to get over it. And be happy where I am. But I get it, I’m still a child. And I’m fine with that.
true
This song hits totally hard for those people who miss childhood and when meeting with old classmates/friends would talk about the memories had together and like laughing about it and wishing we didn't grow this fast
It's more like he's completely parted ways with his friends, and he's just thinking about the times he had with them. But similar
indeed is hard to hear this one, those days were simple gold
Hits really hard for people that live in a pandemic and can’t see their one of their only froends
i miss my childhood especially when my great aunts were still alive and when my grandma’s childhood home was still standing 😭😭😭
I’m not even completely out of childhood and I already miss it. I guess I kind of had to grow up fast.
Good song to get lost in thoughts

This song says home to me. The beauty of the English countryside and the weight of history. Wherever you are in the world, I hope that you all get to return to the place that you call home.
This song made me realize many things I've missed out in my teenage years
This song is for my son. It tells of his growing up with his friends at the same time as Ed, 30 miles away from where Ed did. We lost him through drugs and severe mental illness. But he lived that beautiful experience, growing up in rural East anglia, doing the same crazy stuff. Ed tells a story of many young people but the endings are different.
Hope you're feeling well bro. ;)
😭😭
Your son is at peace my friend and he lived a good early life. I hope you can find peace in that ❤️
I'm sorry for your son, unfortunately we are losing our young people to drugs!
It would be good for all parents to have one faith, one path to follow and not forsake their children even for a second, just like the animals that take care of their young until adulthood!
do not lose hope, one day you will see your son, trust in GOD. look for it can comfort your heart
impresionante historia...lo siento mucho por la pérdida de tu hijo😢Dios te dé fortaleza....saludos desde colombia💛💙❤️
This song is so touching, because it actually tells about us when we were young. Careless, sloppy, rebellious, and do not know who we are. We don't know we're making a memory, we're just having fun at the time. Sometimes we regret it, but sometimes we want to repeat it. And when we look back at the hill that witnessed our mischief, everything has changed. And we can't go back there, we can only enjoy the remnants of memories.
😔🥰
Yes your so right , wish we could go back Sometimes just to enjoy the memories once more . The time goes so quick x

dont worry they will be by your side helping you when you feel grief from their death they are on your side
do whatever youre planning they will be always there to help you and to support you on what ever youre doing
Your only 26 I'm 73 and I love this song it reminds me of my happy youth and lots of sad memories also but it's good to remember all of what's happened in your life stay strong and stay safe
May them rest in peace

I am about to graduate from college . Me and my friends always play this everytime we drink. I cannot imagine how nostalgic this song is gonna be and the memories it is gonna bring back few years later when all of us will be on our own ways. Just thinking about it makes me wana tear up. Cause seriously "this people raised me"

I'm listening to this as a 16 year old about to turn 17 in 29 minutes. I decided I would listen to a few songs before turning 17 as I will never be 16 again.This is officially the last song I'll listen to at 16 and plan to come back at 17 before I turn 18. :') 💗 -Rose (Jan 28th, 2022)
Edit 2023: Hello there, guys.
17 year old me turning 18 in 15 minutes here.
I didn't expect this comment to get as many likes and replies as it did. Thank you all for the kind birthday messages and advice you gave to 17 year old me. I followed a ton of your advice and 17 wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. It was stressful, but it wasn't as much as a huge jump as I thought it was going to be. Time flies, but I'm enjoying my youth while I'm still young.
I'm nervous to graduate this year (2023) in a few months, but I think it will all work out.
I know I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I Love all of you guys and I'll try to keep the same advice I got for 17 while I'm 18.
I guess that's it for now. I'll come back here and listen to this song when I am 18 a few minutes from turning 19. Thank you again. - Rose 💗
Edit: 2024
Wow. 19? Already? It feels like I was just here. 5 minutes and I'll officially be 19.
First let me state the obvious:
AS SOON AS I GET MY DRIVERS LICENSE YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I'M GONNA BLAST TINY DANCER AT 19 WHILE I DRIVE BY THE OLD COUNTRY LAKE BY MY HOUSE. YES, I WILL SCREAM THE LYRICS. ALSO, YES, I WILL PROBABLY CRY.
Anyways,
I graduated high school last summer and I'm proud of myself. :)
It was difficult for me, but I got my diploma.
It feels strange knowing this is my last year being a teenager, but I know I still have so many memories to make.
Thank you all again so much for the advice and replies. :) Knowing that there are people willing to have so much compassion for the random internet kid that posted about her 17th birthday a couple years ago brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you again. I wish all of you a Happy Birthday, no matter what day you celebrate. Remember to smell the flowers, hug your family, and smile at a stranger. God bless and You are Loved. :') -Rose 💗
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳
Happy birthday lovely 🌹
Happy birthday 🎂
Happy birthday, i remember last year when i was about to turn 20 I thought what should I do to celebrate, then I decided I should just watch a movie while moving to the next decade of my life. So I watched Nobody(2021) while turning 20. Alright movie.
Happy Birthday Love! I would tell my 16 year old self, ‘you are absolutely beautiful and perfect!’ Stay close to your true friends and never lose touch, and follow your dreams now, no matter how fantastical.’
Nostalgia hits me most

*People change over time, their memories don't*
Yup
Sad truth🤧
The truth hurts in every way.
yes it doesn't for the better or worse
That’s a deep quote
To those who want to sing along here's the lyrics.
When I was six years old, I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long
I know I've grown, but I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and
Getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
I don't reckon that I did it right, but
I was younger then, take me back to when
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
Oh, how we've grown, but I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids, but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by, but
These people raised me
And I can't wait to go home
And I'm on my way
I still remember these old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Legendary!!
Thanks
This song will never die
thanks... Really
Thank you for the lyrics!❤

Ed's music is excellent , but everyone should really appreciate the music video team! It perfectly complements the song and that's hard to find these days! Excellent work
My thoughts exactly!

The best i've seen which perfectly matches with Ed's song :)
Adarsh Roy yeah
Adarsh Roy This whole thing is absolutely awesome :)
Thank you, Ed! For being a huge part of my life through your music. If I had ever become an artist, the greatest reward for me would have been how many hearts I had managed to touch. You have touched millions, remained forever in their memories, colored their moments with the light of your music, inspired hundreds of thousands, and made just as many believe in themselves. Thank you for being who you are!
Be honest, if you’re old enough to understand all of this then you know this hit hard , nostalgia is a damn strong thing and this was a great portrayal of it
