James Morrison chats to I Like Music

I just try to write simple lyrics that people will understand from all walks of life. You can't be too clever sometimes because people won't get it. And I always try to write lyrics where you understand every single line. It's not like, 'what does he mean by that'. I want it to have a little bit of that, but I always try to write straightforward so most people can get what I'm on about. And that's really the most important thing to the music, because if people can relate to it; it adds a lot more power and emphasis to how they feel.

ILM: Totally because they connect with it and it takes music to that next more raw and personal level.

JAMES: Exactly, yeah.

ILM: You're also playing Summer Sundae Festival in Leicester and V festival too. What do you like most about festivals?

JAMES: Just that there's such a big wide variety of people there. And at festivals it's just about people being people and enjoying music. There's no worry about 'you're working tomorrow' or 'what job you do', it doesn't matter what job you f***ing do, you're at the festival, enjoy the music and everyone's the same, I suppose that's what it is.
