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

Saw this video in high school and it never, ever, ever left me. Love how well it's aged, and how much so much of us have aged... If was right back then My God is it right for now.

Good God I hope Baldy Drawn Boy saw this comment. They deserve to see this.

Can confirm A hug can be the difference between a war and love.

man I have always loved this video. I think it may be my favorite. I remember it inspiring the hell out of me when I was a kid. I especially love him hugging his dog at the end.

I shared this today. It's the year of the rat and I think people can connect with this video even today.

It’s January 25th 2020. Everybody needs to know it’s the year of the Rat.

After 12 years, this song is finally relevant again! (In case you don’t understand, today marks the beginning of the Year of the Rat in Lunar anew Year!)

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

Thank you for posting the lyrics!!

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.

The world really need this.

happy year of the rat, 2020

I heard this song once as a preteen on MTV on some alt show and never forgot it

Wow. Not only is this song lovely and beautiful, the video is very powerful and emotive.

It make me sad that more people dont know this song but i makes me happy because its me, and my best friend"s song.

I remember that a teacher showed us this video when I was in elementary like 12 years ago! Glad I could find it

This song randomly pops into my head out of nowhere and I always have come here and watch the video to get it out of my system

FINALLY I FOUND THIS JEWEL! I'm just being sad all the time nowadays and suddenly remembered some song with a guy huggin and healing everything when i was younger. I cant believe ive found it, 15 years later. Also i read here in another post that 2020 is the year of the Rat ¡¡ : O !! ..Im deeply grateful, really appreciate this magic misterious ways of Life.

I used to think this video was stupid. After so many years, seeing first hand what people is capable of. Now I cry when I see this. I really wish things were like that.

It's that time again ladies and gents

Still watching and loving it...we need this now more than ever!

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.

This is one of my favorite music videos

Everyday we've got to hold on cause if we hold on we can find some new energy.

2020 "The Year of The Rat" Very on point!

Wow, that's beautiful! I was born in the Year of the Rat, 1960, so I just thought, what if someone wrote a song parady to Al Stewart's 'Year of the Cat'? Little did I know that it would be so good, as well as having a deeper meaning!

I watch this video every handful of month just to feel good and maybe ugly cry

Happy year of the rat everyone

Bought this album on CD as soon as it was released

ONE OF MY FAV VIDEOCLIPS :)

This is the kind of power fantasy I have

he's so underrated as an artist. So many songs that just never got the recognition they deserve.

I remember seeing this in 2004. Just like 10 minutes ago remembered a music video where a cartoon guy just goes around hugging people. Luckily I remembered the name Badly Drawn Boy. Not going to lie I got chocked up watching the video.

if we hold on we can find some new energy

i love this song since i was a kid

Such a beautiful song and the video is touching ❤️

Really like this song.

I'm okay with being told that all that stuff is wishful thinking, because I think as far as wishes go, those ones are good to have.

Heard this back in 2004 or 5. And it still pops in my head from time to time. Classic. 2023 baby still listening
