The EU is more than just a group of 27 countries joined together. Its about individual freedoms which today we take as granted. The freedom to work, the freedom to live, the freedom to travel, the freedom to study, the freedom to be who and what we each desire to be, and above all else, protect our national democracies and our right to vote for the party of our choice. These freedoms are the achievments we Europeans have obtained through the European Union.
[Why do I have an Aboriginal Australian band playing the music? Because the song is about a new day, looking forward and not backwards, and sings of hope. Yothu Yindi is an inspiration for not only their own people, but for humanity as a whole. And for Europe, it is a brand new day]
