My Favorite Place, lyric video sample

Style and material

“My Favorite Place” is a tender love song about holding someone close, with no grand plan and no postcard view, only the two of them through the night. Its favourite place turns out to be right beside you. Hand embroidery on cloth: an embroidery hoop on a knitted blanket shows two hands in wool gloves and scarves, framed by little flowers. The words are stitched on, one stitch after another, in a looping thread. Each line is sewn as it is sung, so the stitching happens in front of the viewer.

About this clip

My Favorite Place is a 31-second lyric video sample for a song in English.

Visual style: hand-embroidered lettering. Hand embroidery: the words are stitched on, one stitch after another, like “My favorite place is next to you.”

Why this look: “My favorite place is next to you”: the words are stitched on, one stitch after another.

Across the clip: Every scene is a round embroidery hoop lying on a cream knitted blanket with dried flowers and old books around it. Each line is stitched in dark red thread next to a small embroidered picture that fits it: two cups of tea on a table, a red telephone with a heart-shaped cord, two wooden chairs under a lamp, two hands wrapped in a scarf, a park bench under a tree, and two steaming mugs whose steam forms hearts.

The first and the last line of the clip:

“Come close, come close, stay right here”
“Just me, just me, just you”

Lyrics (caption text)

The same text as the captions of the video.

Come close, come close, stay right here
I want your laugh in my ear
All night, all night, just us two
My favorite place is next to you
Come close, come close, hold me tight
Let's take this feeling into the night
No grand plan, no perfect view
Just me, just me, just you
