Slow Moving Millie has revealed the music video for her cover version of The Smiths 1984 classic B-Side "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want," as a Digital download from her upcoming debut studio album "Renditions," is due for December 12th. The song that illustrates a melody and dynamics that make Slow Moving Millie shine. As part of an amazing album, "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" lyrics will satisfy your music cravings, was also elected to be the theme song to this year's John Lewis Christmas Commercial.At age 29, the London-born singer - real name Amelia Warner, is known as Slow Moving Millie, a name friends gave her because she took so long to get her music career started. She predictably, loves the Christmas advertisements. "It's really simple, quiet and restrained. At this time of year everything is so shiny and loud and bright, and everything on television is just wacked up to this kind of screechy, crazy hysteria. It's nice to have a little serenity."
Only seconds into the song, you immediately realize why the song was chosen - Warner's delicate voice is delicate, soft, and moving as it dances upon the gentle piano notes. She takes an already familiar favorite and transforms it into something timeless and beautiful. Another thing to add to her list of feats? She now resides in Confusion's heart, between Lindsay Lohan and Lykke Li. That screenshot above is the moment Con knew he loved her.
"I haven't been spat at by Smiths fans in the street," smiles the beautiful and demure Warner. Covering such a classic song isn't easy, especially one that has been covered so extensively over the years. Warner's take modernizes the song with soft piano that compliments her quiet tone. The video is shot outside during the strikingly appropriate season of fall, which makes the song resonate even more. While it doesn't take huge leaps from the original in terms of instrumentals, the female vocals almost make one forget that the song ever belonged to Morrissey.
