Knocking and pulling is a video version of a track from Touchable Dreams, by Jeremy Harmer and Steve Bingham.
The first adjective that comes to mind when you watch the video is beautiful.
Self-study idea:
Watch the video clip and note down or discuss your feelings after watching the video.
Then complete the gaps in the poem with the missing words.

Again / She turns me out
