My Favorite Things
Björk Lyrics


Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with string

These are a few of my favourite things
Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favourite things

Girls in white Dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver White winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favourite things

When the bee stings

When the dog bites

When I'm feeling bad





I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don't feel so sad

I love that this scene has fixed camera angles, exactly like in her musical fantasy (the only scenes in the movie with steady cams), suggesting that she's halfway to her fantasy world thanks to the music.

Jacqueline Hopkins

No wonder she won the Palme d'Or (French Oscar) for best actress. Bravo!

Timothée Schaller

Palme d'Or isn't french oscar but international oscar!! (French is César) but yes there's no wonder of why she get it!!!

GORT ROBOT

The sound design in this scene is impeccable…

Jane Chies

Um dos filmes mais tristes que já assisti. Mas excelente. Todos os cinéfilos tinham de assistir.

This is so beautiful but sad Bjork is one of the most amazing and unique artists out there to this day

Radioteque One

My favorite rendition of this song. Bjork sings so beautifully.

Jo Jo

This movie totally broke my heart years ago and I still wouldn't be able to watch it again even thought music was great.

ryanC

Like a fever dream yet so beautiful. A truly mesmerizing scene...

russell snelton

A musical with a different slant, I was greatly moved by this film, Dancer in the dark, I have seen nothing like it before or after, amazing production, from its shaky hand cam start to its crystal clear Hollywood finish
The closest film to this I have seen is a film called leviathan
In this film you are also left with nothing after being ripped to peices
Brilliant and dark
