Bjrk - Vespertine - Hidden Place
Bjrk, Guy Sigsworth & Mark Bell 2005.04.14. 17:36
"'Hidden Place' is sort of about how two people can create a paradise just by uniting. You've got an emotional location that's mutual. And it's unbreakable. And obviously it's make-believe. So, you could argue that it doesn't exist because it's invisible, but of course it does. And it's sort of a one-nil situation."
Written by Bjrk, Guy Sigsworth & Mark Bell. Produced by Bjrk. Hidden Place was not so hidden as it was the first single to be taken from the fourth studio album Vespertine (2001). The video marked also a new beginning as M/M Paris co directed the video with Inez & Vinoodh, and went on to collaboratively create the visuals and layout for the whole Vespertine album and a sequence of singles.
Through the warmthest cord of care
your love was sent to me
I'm not sure what to do with it
or where to put it
I'm so close to tear
and so close to
simply calling you up
and simply suggesting
We go to that hidden place
Now, I have been slightly shy
but I can smell a pinch of hope
to almost have allowed once fingers
to stroke
the fingers I was given to touch with
but careful careful
There lies my passion hidden
here lies my love
I'll hide it under a blanket
lull it to sleep
I'll keep it in a hidden place
He's
the beautifullest
fragilest
still strong
dark and divine
and the littleness of his movements
hides himself
He invents a charm
that makes him invisible
hides in the hair
Can I hide there too?
hide in the hair of him
seek solace
sanctuary
In that hidden place
