Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Castle on the Hill" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. It was released as the lead single from his third studio album ÷ (2017) alongside the poppier "Shape of You." Written in tandem with producer Benny Blanco, the track is a nostalgic ode to his hometown of Framlingham and recounts his upbringing there, from his childhood days to young adulthood. According to the author, the urgent, delay-laden wall of guitars that kicks off the song was inspired by the sound of indie rock group Snow Patrol, a band Ed Sheeran had previously toured with. Shortly after its commercial release, "Castle on the Hill" reached Number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 2 on the UK Official Singles Chart. It also topped the charts in countries like Iceland, Israel, and Scotland. The "castle on the hill" mentioned in the lyrics is a direct reference to Framlingham Castle in Suffolk, which was also featured in the song's accompanying video.
