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.
I remember when my middle school showed us this it was a awsome day in that class we all got up and hugged eachother. to this day I can go to my hometown and my friends and I all hug
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.
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.
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.
Yeah but are you listening being that your chinese sign is a Rat as well!? :D Mine happens to be :) Good work on listening to this and others in 2020 as this came out back in 2004!
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.
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
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 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.
everybody needs to know 2020 is the year of the rat! i was also born on the year of the rat 84,,this is the first time ive heard this in about 10 years..
I FEELL SO SAD THE LAST YEAR OF THE YEAR OF THE RAT WAS MY PIECE OF DREAM COME TRUE I REALY HOPE WE RULES AGAINS THIS DEASES BEACUSE WE ARE ALL HUMAN THE BEST OF THE CREATTION OF THE EARTH BLESS FROM ANYTHING GOD YOU BELIEVE FROM THE DEEP OF MY HEART NO ESTAMOS SOLOS MUCHOS PERECERAN PERO AHORA A CUIDARNOS ANTES TODO SANGRE LATINA HASTA EL FINAL
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.
I watch this at least once a year. It reminds me of who I am committed to be in the world. It is more relevant now than ever.
Красава! (Good!)
It relevant all the time, someday you see it.
❤❤❤❤

If was right back then
My God is it right for now.
100% ^_^
This is the kind of energy we need now a days honestly
Especially this year
In a world that constantly tries to divide us this is what we need.
Can confirm
A hug can be the difference between a war and love.
My dad showed me this as a kid was nice to come back to it
Oof
@@aicr-340artificialintellig9 fuck you with your stupid oof meme, has everything to be a fucking joke?
@@kanedamikami7771 somehow you TOTALLY whiffed on the message of this song tho?

Good God I hope Baldy Drawn Boy saw this comment. They deserve to see this.
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.
This video still brings me to tears so you aren't alone
I shared this today. It's the year of the rat and I think people can connect with this video even today.

Wow. Not only is this song lovely and beautiful, the video is very powerful and emotive.
Crazy how much more this video resonates today than it did in 2004.
BDB is the man
This is one of my favorite music videos
I'm so glad I remembered the name of this song!! Best music video of all time!!!
Oh, hi me of the past!
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
the message of the video is so pure and full of love
I heard this song once as a preteen on MTV on some alt show and never forgot it
I remember seeing this on an On-Demand cable service back in the day... Awesome video
Still watching and loving it...we need this now more than ever!

I am a rat born 1996
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!!
he's so underrated as an artist. So many songs that just never got the recognition they deserve.
I remember that a teacher showed us this video when I was in elementary like 12 years ago! Glad I could find it
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.
It’s January 25th 2020.
Everybody needs to know it’s the year of the Rat.
2020 "The Year of The Rat" Very on point!
Everyday we've got to hold on cause if we hold on we can find some new energy.
ONE OF MY FAV VIDEOCLIPS :)
En estos tiempos tan llenos de caos, es un respiro ver este video.
Bought this album on CD as soon as it was released
It's that time again ladies and gents
Heard this back in 2004 or 5. And it still pops in my head from time to time. Classic. 2023 baby still listening
I watch this video every handful of month just to feel good and maybe ugly cry
Really like this song.
Such a beautiful song and the video is touching ❤️
This song randomly popped in my head out of nowhere
Likewise, and here I am
had to hear this today. thanks bdb.
This is special. I was born in the year of the rat. 1984.
happy year of the rat, 2020
Rats off to ya!
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!
Prophetic baby 🥰
i love this song since i was a kid
This is more relevant than ever
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.
44187 VIEWS??? and millions for bad bunny or lady gaga... The world is wrong...
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.
Happy year of the rat everyone
if we hold on
we can find some new energy
I really liked your video. Don't stop making awesome content!
And here we are!
Happy Chinese New Year! 🐀
everybody needs to know 2020 is the year of the rat! i was also born on the year of the rat 84,,this is the first time ive heard this in about 10 years..
Happy 2020
All too relevant. I love this video
Man I love this song my child hood is ringing
2020 is the Year of the Rat
if it were only that simple
The Grim One It really is. You’ve just got to hold on, and not allow ego to win by having panic attacks all day.
Fossimo tutte/i così. Ma proprio tutte/i.
Vent'anni fa è uscito questa canzone e, video annesso, ancora mi arriva in faccia come un pugno.
It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since this album came out.
What's up with the thumps down! Great video thank you.
2020, the year of the rat 🤔🤔🤔 makes sense 😊😊😅😅😅
I finally found this song again🎉
here because of the protests. 2020 i used to listen to this in middle school
You must hug your damn dog. This is priority one.
I listened this on chinese new year 2020, with no clue of what was going to happen in the next years...
WHO ARE THE 15 PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED THIS?! I WILL HUNT THEM DOWN!
King Marshmallow
And hopefully love them, right?
Of Course.
(Unless they don't deserve it.)
Yeah but in keeping with the theme of the video, let's say we all deserve it, yeah?
WOO FRIENDSHIP
Now that's something you don't see everyday
15/11/19 lo escuche una persona especial me lo envió justo cuando lo necesitaba fue un gesto hermoso. ♥️ 🌻
Excelente canción, excelente video... 👊🏽
2020 is the year of the rat... Again.
Literally it’s the year of the rat and look how much are we suffering
After what's been going on recently, the release of this vid feels near coincidental.
This music video came out like a decade ago. My all time favorite though. What if the world could really be this way. Why not?
Its been almost TWO decades ago, since it came out, of you can believe that!
i discovered this song when i was 17 on 30 hits of mushrooms
2020 it is...🙏💞☀️🍀
watching in 2020.
The year of the rat
0:50 Arnold, from Hey Arnold, hugging it out with Helga Pataki.

世界に必要なのは思いやる心と許してあげる心
戦争なんて必要ない
みんな大事な命
Esta canción me gusta mucho, después de esto no seguí mucho a Damon pero lo recordaré por este tema y por the hour of the bewilder
