Alex Winston - Velvet Elvis

[@ericfoster8411]

This album Is wildly unknown for the most part. It’s been one of my favorites for the last decade

[@inphanta]

I’d forgotten all about this delightful song until it popped into my head this morning. It took me a while to recall the name, but I eventually did so here I am. :) Hearing it reminds me of simpler times when the darkness of today’s world was still the stuff of movies...

[@NeilMcG1983]

Same happened to me today, had to Google "kill the bitch" lyrics and find it that way :)

[@lolKbgTgm6621what]

@inphanta in 2011, the year this song came out, the world discovered the abuses being committed in Guantanamo Bay, the Penn State football program was found to have engaged a massive coverup over decades of child sex abuse, and it was found that a major news corporation was hacking into people's cellphones to feed tabloid news.

[@AriannaVighetti]

Me too

[@steelfyi]

This song is just incredible

[@misaelmunoz7224]

what a brilliant yet criminally underrated talent

[@gracebetteridge3732]

She has such a unique voice, really like it

[@jm3275]

Iv been listening to king con for years its my go to album when i feel low. The hair on my neck tingles when i hear this .

[@liyaa2915]

She deserves way more recognition :)

[@merlin2k6]

Who else first heard this on the Google Chrome advert?

[@lloydevans1580]

Me

[@donkeldoothedapperdog]

Who didn't come here from Chrome?

[@KlimovArtem1]

Christian Crowley me. I found her on Spotify.

[@lottiecockapoo2516]

+Laurence de Carle Meee! That ad also inspired me to buy my lovely Cambridge Satchel!

[@KMaNKARL]

Alway thought it was from an apple ad

[@VlzArtist]

confused as to why this doesn't have at least a million views :(

[@TheBadboyhouse]

VdaGhost and still doesnt :(

[@afc89]

19M views as of today

[@jetteraismabash4186]

It does now

[@MrStormer2012]

How many sad people does it take to watch an advert so hear a song for the first time? All of you!!!

[@efittheodorou2975]

Aw I remember this song, it took me years to find, before they had Shazam :) still perfect today x

[@HiTMAN22PRODUCER]

Thank you Google for bringing this song into my life. Very good song, surprised I never heard it before! Love it.

[@DeathToPerdition]

This is one of the few albums that every single song is great, every single one.

[@eoinpierce]

checked out the album. Came back to say thanks.

[@projectyellowhead]

i know, today you can see it on a lot of youtube videos the same message, but i really think Alex Winston deserves it: underrated so so underrated artist

[@SophieSingingHorses]

Love this song, I think the advert that it was on was really inspirational

[@Konykonykony]

which advert was it again???

[@SophieSingingHorses]

google chrome, the one about the cambridge satchel company

[@Konykonykony]

Captain Melons yeah! thanks a lot from Africa

[@esmx123]

all of the items are things people have been in love with, like how she's in love with the velvet elvis.

[@cosmic-hymns]

As much as I agree that she deserves more recognition, sometimes it's nicer to have good music less well known. By that, I mean that the radio stations can't overplay it and ruin it XD Still an amazing song, though!

[@i4004]

i can loop good songs endlessly, so they can't ruin it for me at all. they can't even loop it 2 times!

[@SuperTurtle24]

ivo kostić thats a good point, if a song is that good then the repetition shouldn't ruin it :P

[@ferinafenty993]

true said

[@evadalmaijer]

She is gorgeous, and I'm glad I discovered her music.

[@locogirlz]

Just discovered Alex at the Grouplove concert tonight... what can i say other than i am absolutely obsessed!

[@ghju]

Seeing someone mentioning Kacey Musgraves' track, reading the title and immediately thinking "Ooooh, Alex Winston !! It's been forever since I listened to Velvet Elvis, I LOVE THAT SONG" with no regard whatsoever for the other song lol (sorry, KM). Well, here I am so it's no secret what I did right after that 😆

[@mymymytubeitis]

can't believe this has such few views, it's a great song

[@FenHenSen]

Love the chrome adverts for two reasons. 1) they are so good and 2) they give me good music.

[@misslingard]

She said in an interview is about being in love with objects, and this song is about a girl being in love with a velvet elvis painting hence 'hold you by the frame, whisper your name' and 'you don't breathe, so you can't leave'

[@rachelbishop-ross1377]

Reminds me of that character in Stephen King's Needful Things who falls in love (?I guess?) with a velvet Elvis.

[@ronaldglenn2010]

I don't understand how anyone could dislike this song or video, its just too happy to not like!

[@erikaelsearless7422]

One of my favorite songs ever!

[@xMysticEclipse]

I don't even know why but when I listen to this song, I always grin from ear to ear. Really great song!

[@HeelvsBabyface]

Just a stunning track, Fantastic.

[@nsewell94]

Didn’t expect to see you comment here.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

@@nsewell94 You took the words right out of my mouth. What's crazier is that with all of 12 thumbs up, his comment is at the top of the list of over a 1000 comments. Now that's power the Drinker would be envious of.

[@ItsOnlyNiall]

Fixated on this when I was in college (12 years ago) Was obsessed with other genres. This came on a Google chrome ad on the television advert. The memorable thing for me is the beautiful voice / chorus. ❤

[@mrkazzam]

An artist that should be more famous

[@Willisterman2008]

Yep, I agree. And the bit where she opens the violin case? That's pure symbolism right there!

[@googledontbeevil]

Not normally my genre, but this song is amazing!

[@MultiChris63]

this is the second time a browser ad has shown me a fantastic song!

[@rainbowbaconstuffonmeth6514]

this was a childhood favourite of mine, it still is but daaaaammnnn. really creepy story behind it.

[@alelireds8613]

Whats the story behind it

[@gloss6969]

@@alelireds8613 she’s in love with her velvet elvis picture, like obsessed with it

[@jahpards]

Love your music since 2014. You deserve so much more Alex Winston. Such a genius...lyrics and all!

[@JakeAndPie]

She's the only person on this earth that can write a full song about a picture lol

[@kylerupik4064]

+Jake Kordei a picture is a thousand words though.

[@13Rune]

+Jake Kordei No, Weird Al did it first. Google that shit!

[@conorwaldron8423]

13Rune z

[@TheHouseOfWaffles]

I was gonna say Weird Al did it first, but it looks like the Stray Cats beat him by 4 years, and Adrenalin O.D. by a decade.

[@MasterOfKnowledge.]

Not really lol

[@AmeliaAliceIzzy]

First heard of this on the google chrome ad for the Cambridge satchel company and became obsessed but that was 4 years ago now! Still listening !

[@connorcheeseboy]

Never actually listened to the lyrics in this. I sing it out loud, and then I realised what I was saying. I think that would explain the filthy looks I was getting

[@touchclarity]

This song just makes me smile....on the inside. Such a feel good tune..... Love it.

[@account-jn8jw]

How this song popped in my head from that Google advert 😂

[@Mistress-illyanna69]

Awwww just rediscovered this. My daughter who was just a couple of months old would smile and kick whenever she heard it so I bought it for her. She's 10 now and still loves it x

[@handsumm]

I just wanna know why it was taken off Spotify

[@meggyharma]

I want to know why too

[@GoForACashew]

No one brought me here, I stumbled upon this amazing work of art because it was probably destiny.

[@jonmiles7589]

Basically, the woman in the song falls in love with a picture of Elvis on some kind of velvet canvas (hold you by your frame) and begins to pleasure herself over it. When her father walks in, (caught us in our special time) and she is sent to a mental asylum (finger paint and circle time)

[@peaco1000]

Why isnt this song eerywhere, its fucking amazing. Seriously.......what a chorus!

[@desturidesignco.6489]

Dulce Delight bought me here tbh

[@TheRebekah10]

Found this song on The Cambridge Satchel advert!! THANK YOU!!! I love this song, my favourite at the moment. x

[@thebryman]

very Kate Bush. and that's a good thing.

[@afc89]

It's nothing like Kate Bush, and I love Kate Bush, and I love the hustle, but they're nothing alike

[@DT-ub6ud]

AFC I disagree

[@mel644]

I did and it took me ages to find it, my daughter found it in the end!!!! A brilliant song!!!!

[@rebecapassion]

2019?

[@rosiebirrell7812]

I totally forgot about this song then the chorus popped up in my head and had to find it , I only remembered it because of a heather Morris video

[@LunaZero99]

2020, oh

[@rebecapassion]

2020

[@cloudyjean4785]

2021 😁

[@TheGaryt8]

Loved this so much I bought the album.....Good bye HMV.....WE all loved you so much. Now I have it on CD and have put it on my iPod. Try stealing that from my family apple!

[@Teatimesan]

I'd happily not breathe in order to not leave her..(in short intervals...if ya catch ma'drift)

[@AprilsPunk]

Adverts are a great source of advertisement for music as I would never had heard her music any where else, but after the chrome advert I want to hear more of her

[@DJSaM2K10]

Google Chrome advert (-:

[@jopark9620]

yakuza4

[@OzzTonWentToSpace]

the frame bit and when i feel your velvet makes more sense now.

[@TheKwaze]

And talking of women that are bonkers....

[@christianelmes3752]

I get chills from the advert so had to listen to the song in full :))))))))

[@ftrhytutyrdrtetret]

without chrome i would not have know this awesome song, the internet is what you make of it

[@Andrius226]

No, i mean that when i watch a video i don't block the ads, i watch that 5 seconds ad, so my favourite channel then gets paid for it.

[@livpants]

she is bloody stunning! and this is a good tune

[@NekidGnome]

- Google Chrome tv advert brought me here, great song, great rhythm, fantastic voice ... - KZbin allowed me to watch/listen to a few more other tracks ... - Just saw the "Velvet Elvis" Berlin Session video ... - Went straight to play.com and bought King Con ... - Wonders what rock ive been under ... - Come on postman ! - PS Alex, whoever is your partner, they are a very lucky individual, you are so beautiful !

[@danda199305]

Alew Winston and her beautiful music brought me here :)

[@guesswhosbackzach8011]

I cant get enough of this song love Alex her songs are the best!

[@kevinjason6697]

[@ReadingWithMyth]

When I saw her in concert she was amazing. She's really talented.

[@neilthompson8668]

The song is brilliant and the video even better. Love the bit where she opens opens violin (?) case

[@vikneshj101]

[@TheRebekah10]

[@rainking1470]

Im so sad that i found this singer so late, would love to see her live

[@georgebridges3309]

Love this and choice notes. Didn't know elvis was so loved.

[@eb8761]

FREAKING LOVING HER! Heard her song from a BIRP playlist a year ago but never heard the rest of her music. Should have searched her sooner!

[@meliseeff]

Yes. Definitely does. So much great music around if people actually looked.

[@30noir]

A crush on Elvis (Presley). Look up the lyrics. The 'you don't breathe so you can't leave' is heart-breaking.

[@RealProblemShuckers]

Howcome I didn't see in the charts in 2011? The people who work there don't know what they've missed... Thumbs up if you agree!

[@newlanark1]

this is a amazing work of art its a lovely song and from now on it will be my favorite

[@oliverwhyborn5875]

who cares what people think because i thought it was a awsome song and now im going to buy ITunes now. great song :)

[@99ninjanun]

I love her vocal style.

[@jhughes399]

This song is just brilliant really.

[@UnknownSpecimen]

So glad I discovered her, she is amazing!

[@bethh766]

Nearly at 1 mil!!! It’s a crime that it isn’t already there!

[@liticia52]

Heard this on the google chrome advert and I just fell in love with it. It's an A M A Z I N G SONG

[@edgetheguy]

Beautiful! Loved the song and the visuals are nice.

[@cccandle1]

I LOVE her voice!

[@NialahM]

[@Azrii]

I can rarely hear the lyrics to songs so I looked them up and WOAH! Actually kind of makes me like the song more now...

[@heribertogimenesjunior2827]

Omg 9 years ago!!! Still one of my favorite ♥️♥️

[@mymokshashocksya]

ALEX WINSTON IS THE GREAT WHITE HOPE OF AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC

[@Michaelmarr92]

This is a very catchy song, I did come here from the Google Chrom advert, It's a shame it wasn't from hearing of her before, she is very talented :)

[@DarkLordDiablos]

No its not just you, I love the song and the video as I'm old enough to remember Satchels, I came here after watching the video just now on TV.

[@MrAnimalMind]

I can't stop listening to this song since I heard it on Songza.

[@mizzkizzy09]

this song deserves more views

[@aaronhartshorn3029]

The beat is chipper, but the lyrics are straight up David Lynch. Love it. And now that I think about it, there's something very "lady in the radiator" about this video.

[@brendanbrady1000]

If I could, I'd watch this for hours on end.

[@tooneyb52]

Google advert bought me to this beautiful song ;( greetings from Republic of Kosovo

[@zizi9209]

I love her hair so much

[@stoskyguy1127]

So addicted to this song

[@ellierees559]

I searched for ages to find this song! :)

[@swalstar]

Google Chrome could make a similar advert using the lovely Alex Winston now..I'm sure this video is going to skyrocket in views..

[@elinyoyo]

[@maddieveall7529]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!
