Video: Slow Moving Millie - "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want (The Smiths' Cover)"

1.

Actress and songwriter Amelia Warner, who goes by the stage name Slow Moving Millie, will be releasing her debut studio album titled Renditions on December 12th. Currently, her cover of The Smiths‘ 1984 single “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” is featured in the John Lewis Christmas advertisements (Ellie Goulding’s cover of Elton John’s “Your Song” was last year’s choice).

Only seconds into the song, you immediately realize why the song was chosen – Warner’s voice is delicate, soft, and moving as it dances upon the gentle piano notes. She takes an already familiar favourite 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.
