Ben Morse reveals the perils of showing one's feelings to the people we really like - and being a littlebit too confident of the response, in this Anti-Valentine of a one-shot video for Frank Turner'sMittens

The folk-rock singer-songwriter himself embodies the idea by by getting on stage in a full Elvisgetup, with a rose wedged between his teeth, only to suffer painful rejection by the object of hisaffection. Nothing quite says it like a left hook piledriver.

And you can send the video to someone in a similar boat to Frank-as-Elvis, by linking them to awebsite released along with the clip.

BEN MORSE:

"Frank came to me wanting to do an entirely slow motion video, and wanted to dress as Elvis. It was anodd idea, but in context with a song about taking risks and putting yourself out there in relationships,you show people what you think they want to see. And I suppose if you're an Elvis fan, he is theultimate "best version" of a musician.

"But, it's a sad song, so it was important that it didn't work. Props to both performers for going for it.This was take six, the slaps were full on, and Frank's shins were butter by the end of it all. I liked theidea of wrapping it in a website that encouraged fans to take a risk too. Music videos are too passive.Entertainment should be interactive."
