I think that one line, "I think I caught his spirit later that same year. I'm sure I heard his echo in my babys newborn tears" is one of the most beautiful lines of lyric ever written. Gets me every time.
Agree. My nephew was born a few months after my grandfather passed away and every so often he does or says something that reminds me of him, so it hits me every time as well.
The first 8 years of my marriage, whenever I’d visit with my parents, my dad would always ask when I was going to give him a grandchild. My wife had problems conceiving so I’d always just tell him we were trying and he’d be the first to know. I kept true to my word and he was the first person told when she got pregnant. The joy on his face was beyond measure. He couldn’t have been more excited. He passed away in January of 2002. His grandson was born in April of that same year. That line of the song destroys me every single time I hear it because he never got to hold the grandchild he wanted so much.
Many people miss the fact that the song’s first chorus is sung by young children, then the second by sung by older people, while the last is a combination of both.
I have always loved that touch in this video.❤
It's a song meant to bridge the generation gap with necessary life-affirming and love-affirming communication between the two.
I love that!
This Song hit's even harder if you lost your father already, and the relationship was complicated. One of the most emotional Songs ever in my opinion, cannot listen without crying
I hear ya man.
I see your emotion, and I am 68 years old, I know what you feel.
I WAS there that morning,when my father passed away. I was in a recliner by his hospital bed,holding his hand. Then,for just a moment,I dozed off and yes,that’s when my Dad slipped away. He had been a quiet man and I know he regretted the hurt done by his alcoholism when I was a child. And I believe,even though he was unconscious,that he heard all that I had whispered in his ear throughout that night…about love,forgiveness and my own apology for not being the kind of daughter I felt he deserved. Right after he took his final breath,as I was looking at him one last time…a single tear ran down his face. I believe that tear was just for me,a goodbye for his little girl;an “I love you” from the man who rarely said it. I have had the great fortune in my now 70 years,to have known the end was near for most of the people I loved. So, I did get to say many of those things we often don’t say because we think there’s more time. What an absolute blessing that was! And even now,when a memory I had tucked away pops up or an old hurt is resurrected by a new one, I STILL talk to them. I miss them all so much,but I know I’ll be along soon.❤️❤️
Really precious...Thank you for sharing...💗
@@maryannturton9830 ❤️
I sat with my dad through those long hours of chemotherapy and while we both would have given anything not to be sitting in that hospital, now he's gone I look back and I'm so thankful for those last hours we had together because we said it all and I will be forever grateful for that.
@@talex1625 ❤️
I sincerely hope by sharing your feelings gives you solace in some way ,keep your chin up lass
This song is an analogy of generational precipitation of life and death. Young folks think they will live forever as their parents should, while older folks realize time is shorter everyday and closure isn’t always available before the end. Truly an exceptional song, have always loved it!
Well put ()
My Mother had just passed away in the hospital, I was there. My Father couldn’t deal with arranging the funeral home, so I went. On the way there, this song played. I lost it.
This song was written by the drummer of the band after his father died and they hadn't spoken to each other for years.
I'm 73 and the verse, "I wasn't there that morning, when my Father passed away. Didn't get to tell him, all the things I had to say." still brings tears to my eyes. In 1963 (a month before my 13th Birthday) my Father was out of town and died from a heart attack. Sure wish I would have told him more often how much I loved, respected, and admired him. Damn! Tears in my eyes as I'm typing this.
My heart goes out to you! I am sure your father remembered that you loved him; death has a way of God letting the right words be said or brought to someone's memory, I believe before he or she dies. You might not have been given the chance that exact moment he died, but i think God blessed him in his passing, that he knew you loved him.
I wasn’t there that morning, when my father passed away. My father died 4 years ago from Covid and sadly was alone. I have peace knowing nothing was left unsaid between us. Our last words were to say I love you to each other ❤️
My father passed away in July 1987. My first child, a son, was born in October 1987. This song was released in the U.S. in December 1988. The first time I heard it, and every time since, I cried.
I wasn’t there the morning my father passed and I didn’t get to tell him all the things I had to say. I miss my dad ❤️
You can listen as well as you hear... Brilliant line
I love that line and no-one ever seems to mention it. I think it’s so important. Thanks for pointing it out
Hey Nick, you hit the nail on the head. Mike Rutherford, the Mike in Mike & the Mechanics is part of the group Genesis with Phil Collins!
Genesis with Peter Gabriel....my favorite band of the '80's. Saw them live 4 times.
I was there with my father when he died. I told him that each one of us, by name, loved him and if he wanted to go be with Jesus, he could go. He died literally within 3 or 4 seconds after I told him that we loved him. I have never seen my father's eyes more blue as he looked up (I think to Heaven) and died. Tell your parents that you love them because you never know when God will take them. We knew my father was close due to the cancer in his brain taking him, but he understood what I said, I know he did because he seemed to be hanging on to life for that reminding of our love for him.
Sorry for your loss, but happy you were with him and had a chance to say goodbye. Unlike my Father (see earlier comment), I was with my Mother when she passed. She lived to be 98 and never remarried (or even dated) but sacrificed a lot to take care of us kids. I was holding her hand and she was in a semi-conscious state. I thanked her for all she did for us and then said, "I love you Mom, but it's time to go. Dad's waiting for you." I know she heard me because she gave my hand an ever so weak squeeze, took one breath and that was it. Please people tell your loved ones how much you care because one never knows when they will be gone. You won't regret it.
@@AFmedic I am so sorry that you weren't by your dad's side! So glad you were by your mom's side though; that had to bless your heart. I don't know what your God-given talent is, but God gave me the ability to be by family and friends' parents or grandparents when they died from long illnesses. The family or friend's parent would be taken off all the heart monitors and blood pressure machines; some were at home but most were at the hospital in the hospice area. When the hospice nurses or doctors would come by they would usually mess up the time of expected death. But having been by the bedside of so many friends' parents and my own loved ones, I usually can tell how long the person has to live. I remember one hospice nurse told my family that my dad would make it to Monday and that would be when she would be back. At the same time my uncle who had been a paramedic and helicopter pilot in Vietnam and I both told the hospice nurse that my father wouldn't see sunrise of the next day! She didn't care to he hear it. My father died at approximately 6:28am that next morning, Sunday. The sun rose at 6:35am that day! My uncle had been up for 3 days with my dad before I got there and I had been up for 40 hours straight with him when he died. So, my uncle slept and the rest of our family that was there were sleeping also, when God took him Home. I really believe when God calls us Home He lets whomever needs us there or no human to be there when we are dying. But I know the angels are with that person, because they are entering into Heaven. Your dad was at the Literal, "Pearly Gates" waiting for your momma! God bless you and know you will see both parents again.
Dad passed away from cancer on Good Friday, April 10th 2020 from Cancer. I was lucky enough to be with Mum in the hospital when he passed, as it was Covid and they were not really letting people visit. Im so glad I was able to tell him I couldnt have asked for a better Dad. He wasnt my biological father, he met my Mum when I was 14, and while we didnt get along until I was in my 20's, he always introduced me as his daughter, he always wished the best for me, and I couldnt have been happier that my Mum met someone who loved her beyond anything else
Good on you, Randall. The best music is the stuff that makes you FEEL something.
Yes, 💯
@@nickforell1please react to Letters From War by Mark Schultz.
I haven’t heard this in a long time, but still know every word. I wasn’t there the day my father passed away. I was only 27. He was 62. He wasn’t around for my wedding or the birth of his only grandchild. It’s been hard. My mom is still here today though. At 88. ❤
Brings a tear, EVERY time. Such a beautiful song.
Perfect vocal from Paul Carrack.
One of the most powerful songs ever written and sung. When it came on the radio, I had to change the station because I’d get too emotional.
Very emotional song. Paul Carrak was the lead vocalist. He's fronted other groups in the past. Emotional rollercoaster
The lyrics are profound and grab at one’s heart.
My best friend died 5/3/24. She wasn’t well for about a year, but she slipped away so quickly we feel like a bulldozer ran over us. I just pray she knew how much she was loved, and I’m so glad she didn’t suffer. TLC 1950-2024
The 80s was a turning point in musical expressions of feelings we normal kept inside. I'm 71 and lived through these awaking times. I love this song because the theme carries through the years. Enjoyed your remarks.
So well said.
I remember my dad tuning to alcoholism in his older years, but he finally gave it up for good after I told him if he couldn't say he loved me while sober, then don't say it. The night he died, I was at the hospital and told him I loved him, then left. Early that morning I got the call that he had passed. Now, 20 years later, I still miss him.
The words are so true for all of us. And his voice is stunning. I love this song. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
Mate, I've been listening to this song since it came out more than 30 years ago and it hits harder and harder as the years go by. It always reminds me to give my dad a call while I still can. Another moving song from Mike + The Mechanics is "Another Cup Of Coffee".
A beautiful, emotional song perfectly performed by the voice of Paul Carrack.
It's a beautiful public service announcement as well as a fantastic song. Make things right while you have the chance and save yourself a world of regret! And the brilliant Paul Carrack vocal is, as always, out of this world. A special song.
I was 14 when my Dad Died, I was trying to get him up out of his chair and into bed but he collapsed on me, he passed right there in my arms, He was a 6ft tall man and while he'd lost weight, for me at 14 he was still heavy. He was my world I miss him so much. Everyday..My own Son looks like him & as he gets older he looks even MORE like him. My son said While looking at Old family photos "Gee Mum, Me & Pop are the same" for me, It's So special. 💜
I always come back to reactions of this song to see How you all React to one of the most beautiful song ever written.
To all those who have lost someone My condolences. ❤
My heart goes out to you and your whole family. A father is a hard person to lose in life. I was the only girl, so I was spoiled rotten. My brother died when he was only 7 from the same kind of brain cancer that killed my dad many years later. I told my dad my brother was in Heaven waiting for him, and that my mother two other brothers and I loved him and if he wanted to go be with Jesus to go ahead; he died with a couple seconds and the look in his eyes was so spectacularly blue when he died. I'm sorry you had to see and be holding your dad when he passed; but I hope you remember this; you, his son, was the last face he saw before he saw Heaven. I know that might not help, but I hope it does. Because God let him die with you by his side. My father died with me when the rest of the family were in different rooms or asleep, it was God that let me talk to him before he died and it was God that let you carry your dad. I see it as a blessing; I hope and pray for your sake one day you can or have already seen it as a blessing. I am glad you have a son that can remind you of your dad.
@@rebelwithacause7334 I guess all these things make that little bit stronger. The same thing with Dad his Eye's were blue but at that time of The spirit leaving they seem more Crystal clear & his blue Eye's
brightened somehow. I always remember that he also seemed lighter to hold in that moment.
We will see our loved ones again I'm sure of it.
Yes, My son is a gift of Dad's presence. He is a good kid too never gave me any trouble.
I was a daddy’s girl from a toddler, even mum says that she knew that he was the centre of my world from then. When she made him leave after he had had one too many affairs, I was attached to his leg sobbing begging him not to leave me. He was a good father, we saw him every weekend and he was always very financially responsible for us. I was so close to him for years. When I left my first husband I didn’t go to my mum, I went to my dad. I thought he might be disappointed in me, but he told me he wanted me to be happy and that he would support me in my choice. We stayed so close until he married a narcissist when I was 28 who did not want him to have a close relationship with his daughter, and he gave in to her. It hurt me so badly, I was so angry at him. I went out and bought him this song and I don’t even know if he listened to it. He died in December 2022 aged 87 in another state from us in Australia and we didn’t even know where his body was. I was waking in the night sobbing for him, I was 63 and felt like that 5yr old who’s dad had left her again. He wanted no funeral, he was cremated and she would give us nothing of him. It was like he had never existed. This has made me cry for him. I miss you so much dad. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Your story is so sad and tragic. I hope you find peace.
This song makes me cry every time.
So sorry. Heartbreaking.
I am really sorry. I don’t even have words. That is so awful of your father’s wife. Big hugs to you
Sorry for yoou not seeing your Dad again.Some step parents are so cruel.Please take care.
I’ve heard this so many times but seeing you cry had me weeping too.. glad you enjoyed this
Its been 47 years since my father passed in his sleep, I remember everything that day. Mum would take my brother and I to Sunday school then to the 11am service. That day dad turned up and went to church with us, after church, we went for a long sunday drive and had a picnic in a park. Then when we got home we had Roast lamb for dinner. Then only being 12 went to bed, that being the last time with Dad. As I am hitting my 60th in a few mouths, and listerning to, The Living Years it could have been alot different if dad had lived a longer life. Maybe we could have had unspoken words that should have been sheared, I still Love my dad after all these years. But the greatest gift was looking after mum for 8 years and being with her when she passed back in 2011, and with all the words that needed to be spoken came to an end, with. I Love you mum - I Love you to Alex.
My Dad had Alzheimers, and he didn't know me anymore. He was taken into hospital a week before Christmas 2022, where he would lie in bed with his eyes closed unresponsive. My Mum and I went in to see him on Christmas day, where we sat his bedside for a few hours. When we left, I said "Bye Dad" to which he startled me when he said "Bye Son" I was so happy knowing he knew it was me and that I was there. Sadly he passed not long after. I'm just glad that he's with God now, where he will be forever young.
So happy for you having that one last, very meaningful in the circumstances, interaction
@deadlyredly1 Thank you 🙏 Much love to you and yours ❤️
I wasn't there when my father passed, but I did spend a few hours interviewing him about his life. He had an amazing life filled with experiences that most people could only dream of. I video taped it, so I can play it whenever I need to hear his voice.
Funny u compare them to Phil Collins as Mike Rutherford (Guitarist/Guy in the video) is one of the founders and guitarists of Genesis! Paul Carrack (Lead vocalist) has been in many bands, but also has an amazing solo career as well!
Amongst the things that make this song great is the going from the kids to the adults choir-wise. Showing these things mean just as much no matter your age
My father will be 97 in July. We have never had an easy relationship. I have not seen him in 9 years, and it will not change . Not an ideal situation.
Sorry just needed to reach out. Be happy x
@@elizabethness3629
Thank you 🙏
My youngest son cannot to listen to this song. He was away when his father passed and he feels the regret that he did not get to say goodbye to a father he revered and loved deeply.
Oh my gosh. I started my adulthood in the 80's. I heard this song so many times. I recall sobbing the first time I heard it. Now I'm entering old age. Both my parents are gone and this is the first time hearing it in my current life chapter. It just hits so much harder than it did when I thought they would be hear forever. Sobbing again.
Great reaction Nick. The lyrics to this song are so powerful
Brilliant song and Always makes me tear up
Just Beautiful
My Dad passed away while on holiday with my Mum in Malta and I found out when someone who was arranging to bring him home phoned and told me. It was the most awful shock and I wasn't there for him. I am 79 now and whenever I here this song I cry. Can't help it. I was and always will be my Daddies little girl❤❤❤Love to everyone who has lost not just Dads but Mums as well. Parents are precious😊😊😊😊😊
What a horrible way to get such devastating news! I’m so,so sorry!❤️
@@Ctkare4k9 Thank you for your kindness!
@@user-rf8dn8zq4e ❤️
I love their song All I Need is a Miracle.
Handsome Carrack with great voice and emotional song!
Back in 1981 my sister gave birth to a little baby boy. Later the same day, our father died suddenly. He just sat down in his arm chair and passed away from a massive heart attack.
This song always reminds me of that day.
Paul the lead singer was in his 1st band called "ACE" in 1975. He sang " How Long Has This Been going On" Then his second band was " Squeeze" 1981. He sang a bunch of songs a couple of hits. Then he hooked up with " Mike and the Mechanics" and he sang the song we just listened to. Paul had one of the best vocal's around.
This was such an unexpected hit song. A heartfelt 'message' song like this would seem on the face to be un-commercial, but not this one.
This song makes me cry every time. I miss my father.
Me too. Every single time.
What is more moving is to realize that the members of children's choir are in their 50s and the adult choir members are most likely dead.
Im surprised you mentioned Phil Collins! Mike Rutherford was a member of Genesis and formed Mike & the Mechanics while on hiatus. I’ve loved this song from the moment I heard it. By the time this song was played my father had been dead for 25 yrs. I had just turned 14 yrs old. I cry every time I hear this song.
This song always makes me tear up when I hear it. My father and I were not estranged or anything and in fact I was still living at home. But I was on vacation in Hawaii when he passed away back in 1990 and I didn't get to say goodbye. The last thing I said to him was that I would see him when I came home.
the singer is the Great Paul Carrack.. he has some hits with 3 diff bands over the 70's 80's and 90's..
I’ve always loved this song. Thank you for your touching reaction. I was just listening to some tape recordings, which I recently digitized, of my father who passed away in 2021. It means the world to be able to hear his voice and his stories now that he’s gone.
We just can’t get agreement in this present tense we all talk a different language talking in defense… My favorite part of this masterpiece…..
My father, was my best friend, we worked in the factories together, from me leaving school, him getting me a job, never went anywhere, to the pub, unless i called him, used to go to the club for a few beers every sunday lunch before, we went home for dinner, he passed at 58 years old, im 59 now, lasted year loger, he was the baby boomer era, none of the men in my family made it passed 60, grandparents, uncles, the women all gone into the 90's
as we say we blame the generation before, his genration, no health and safety in factories, like to today, face covering, from dust and stuff, they made the money and played hard
This song has encouraged a lot of people to make peace with loved ones. It is a very emotional song but has a message. I was holding my fathers hand when he passed but we had had a difficult relationship for many years. I'm so happy we made amends before he passed.
My mom taught 6 children to love music passionately. My siblings and our kids and grandkids have been given the same gift passed down. We share our songs with ea other but no one has (at all) same traste. BUT... This song, thru 4 generations, since it came out and I played it for my mom, it made her cry, me cry, my kids cry, to this day, every time I hear it. My mom is gone now but it's a masterpiece. THANK YOU NICK AND RANDALL❤ Have a beautiful Sunday!
❤ (Randall)
At the end they are on the White Cliffs of Dover.
I have written to both my parents, who I am blessed to still have. They live minutes away but I wrote anyway, both individually and joint letters. They were overwhelmed but also overjoyed and both have a package of letters/photos being put in with them when they are gone. I absolutely adore mine and told my dad he could spend all my inheritance on mum. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes? Fine with me. For various reasons they are my heroes.
My father knew I loved him when he died because I told him so before he left for the summer at the beach. We hugged and told each other that we loved each other. 3 months later he was gone.
I wasn’t there but I knew the end was near the last time I was with him. My sister and I were in his hospital room telling him how proud we were of him and how much we loved him. He had dementia and couldn’t really comprehend but he did manage to smile as we were talking to him. That smile was on his face when I left the room.
Thank you, Nick for posting this video. 😏 Hadn't heard this song in a long while... Much appreciated, Sir. 🙂 With very best wishes to you, from Scotland.
Thanks this song has a lot of meaning to me it always brings tears to my eyes.
I wanted to be with my Dear DAD when he passed but I never got the opportunity so this song has a lot of meaning to me I really wanted to tell him what a great DAD he was and how much I loved him and still do.
Tears and goosebumps. A very touching song.
This song taught me to speak to my parents before it was too late. I was 30 when i wrote them and told them they had done a great job raising 4 children. That they should be proud of what they had wrought with us. I am so glad now I did. I don't think I would ever of thought to without this.
Soon after me and my wife got married her grandmother fell ill and just right before she died I insisted she go in that room alone and talk to her and get everything off her chest and make peace and say sorry . She thanks me to this day for making her do that and it's this song and losing both my parents young why I made her. This song is the best advice you can give anyone .
My dad and I had an incredible relationship the last eight years of his life, starting a couple of years after the death of my next older brother. After that Dad faced down alcoholism, never drinking again until he died at 92. I was his counselor starting at the of 15, so he shared alot of his past, his fears, and the pain and loneliness he felt after my mom died when she was 44. I’m the youngest of seven kids, but my brothers and sisters either moved away or had turned their backs on him years before, so after all his friends died I became his only friend. I wish I could have been more open to him about my life, but I felt it would have ruined our relationship so I never came out to him, even though I’m fairly certain he suspected. We just never talked about it. I was the only person with him as he was dying, even spending the night in a chair next to his bed in the nursing home that he was sent to by his doctors, because they wouldn’t prescribe hospice for him to die at home in his own bed. Having been with him for nearly twenty years-four hours straight I went home for an hour to shower, change clothes, and grab something to eat. And even though I raced back to the nursing home at 80 miles an hour in a 35 mph to be there at the end he died with only a nurse to hold his hand. It’s been fourteen years since he fell asleep and everyone who knew him still thinks I was there with him at the end. I know they’d understand why I left and wouldn’t judge me, especially since none of them were there even though they knew he wouldn’t make it through the day, but I don’t want them condemning themselves if they ever found out that he died alone. I’m glad I had intentionally moved back home twenty-three years before his death to be with him and re-build our friendship, but to this day it still haunts me that he didn’t know all of me and that I kept a big part of my life locked up inside me.
I cried when I heard this after my Dad died. I was in the middle seperating from my husband and had met him that night and it was horrible after doing 12 hr shift in ICU. I was to upset to see how sick my Dad looked as he helped me through dealing with the drama from meeting the idiot and he was dead in the morning. When I heard this I felt my Dad was letting me know it was OK.
This is such a beautiful song such a underrated group always brings me to tears thank you for your beautiful reaction x x
Thank you again Nick for reacting to my request. Great emotional reaction. (Randall)
I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away. But I'd been there just a few hours before, and my mother and brother were with him. I was able to talk to him a lot as he lay sleeping.
God what a beautiful song.I cry every time I hear it!
I’ve always loved this song, I appreciate your remarks ~ very insightful 🏴
The moral is to never take time for granted with your loved ones, even when you disagree with them. Don't be afraid to let them know your disagreement, but still not just hear their word but listen to their heart, and always let them know you still love them, because tomorrow is planned but never promised.
There's no mystery to this song. It's laid right out there for us to hear. His voice is strong and clear in presenting this most human relationship of children and father. If you don't cry you are not listening.
Brings tears to my eyes every time... I wasn't there.....
You are an empath my dear friend, you have a tender heart ❤️ ❤❤
Thank you so much!!!
I got to be there, but there was so much more to be said. This song always brings me to that day. Love You Dad!!!
I cry every time I listen to this song ❤️🔥
One of my all time favorites ❤
.. For your eyes 🧻.. It's not just the lyric, it's also the way Poul Carrack's voice tells the story..
always makes me cry
Love this song...brings me memories of my late dad.....terribly missed.
I was not there when my Dad died of a heart attack in 1986. I had joined the U.S. Air Force the year before. Our daughter was born in 1988 so this song hits hard. Especially the one line about, " hearing his echo in my baby's newborn tears".
I remember my father asking me , did I love him? as at this point he had gone totally blind, and I held his arms and pulled him close to me and said, you never ever, have to ask me that question, and I am so glad I said it because he died so soon afterwards.
You are so right. This is so very emotional. I just love it but cannot listen to it without tearing up. Can see that you are really emotional as well.
Loved your reaction.
Great reaction, what you said is so very true. You never know when that day will come and your parents will no longer be with you.
I'm so thankful to God that i got to tell my dad (stepdad, but best man I've ever known) & mom each how much i loved them & all they meant to me in my life 😢 Don't wait.. fix things, make up or just tell them while you can 🙏🏼😞❤️
I love your reactions. The emotion of a song always comes to life in your eyes. Beautiful.
shared my fathers last hours.held his hand and played his favourite songs.i miss him.
This song was popular when my Dad was fighting cancer in 1988. I had leave a place if it came on! Luckily, we had a great relationship, but I heeded the words of this song and made sure I said it all before I finally lost him 22 years later. No regrets, and I can now listen to this song. ❤
Nick love your tears they make mine validated
It was shot at Porlock on the coast in the county of a Somerset
Beautiful reaction to this brilliant song, thank you
Paul Carrack on Lead Vocals and the late great Paul Young on backing vocals (playing keyboards in this video). They shared/alternated Lead Vocals on most of the songs, until Paul's untimely death in July 2000. A brilliant, classic and moving song. I hadn't realised that it actually topped the Billboard Hot 100 until I checked the other day; all the way back in March 1989.
Such a beautiful song! Brings back memories!❤❤ My father passed away 6 years ago, this makes me think about him, he passed while napping in a chair while watching TV, thankfully not suffering.❤❤ My father’s voice is still the one on my parent’s answering machine. I know it won’t be there forever, but I hope it is there for a long time! I miss him, so much!!😢
Thanks Nick, brings back memories!!❤❤❤
This is an incredible song. I was not there when my dad died, so this song holds a lot of meaning to me, the song came out after my dad passed away. Love your reaction!
This song has always touched me deeply...I didn't get to reconnecf with my father before he passed. I'm glad to see it had an affect on you and that you allowed yourself to show your emotions and vulnerability. Perfect reaction to a deep song.
Always chokes me up no matter how many times I hear it.
