    It is 2020, literally now the year of the rat. The world could do with a little more settling down and responding with love.

    One of the most inspiring music video I have ever seen. The world can really change for the better if we can really "hold on" in calmness and love when faced with anger and hatred. But that's not such an easy thing to do, isn't it? .Thank you Badly Drawn Boy and Monkmus.

    For context, I'll explain that this video was played directly before or after Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" on MTV very frequently around 2004. Hence, it had impact on a certain micro-generation.

    June is on the run for so long
    Pushed and pulled then shunned it was so wrong
    These 4 walls crashing in won't stop me now
    Cause I'm alive, I'm out tonight, all night.
    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Everyday we've got to hold on
    Cause if we hold on we could find some new energy
    Streets with flags unfurled like treasure
    Thank me for my words it's a pleasure
    Just don't ask me to stay cause I'll be gone
    But it's alright, I'm okay, always
    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Everyday we've got to hold on
    Cause if we hold on we could find some new energy
    One plus one is one together
    One plus one is one forever
    One plus one is one together
    One plus one is one forever
