The song, on its own, is amazing.
The music video - even more so.
The idea of living your boring, mundane life, dealing with the same people and the same situations day after day, is something we all have come to accept. Sometimes because we feel we have no other choice. You go through the motions of your daily life.
And when the opportunity presents itself to rewrite it, you're stuck in this attitude of "Ugh, life sucks."
You draw rain clouds instead of sunshine.
Then, a complete stranger draws an umbrella, shielding you from the storm.
Your cynicism is still very present, though.
The umbrella isn't enough to protect you from the cab splashing through a puddle while you're standing next to the street.
That same stranger comes to your side and opens their jacket so you don't get wet.
And for the first time, in a long time, you smile. I mean, really smile. Not in an "Oh, the irony..." kind of way, but a genuine smile.
It's amazing how a random person, even one you have never met, can make your day. They take your negative thoughts and change them to positive ones. And if you're really lucky, you might actually get to meet them one day.
