James Morrison chats to I Like Music

JAMES MORRISON

ILM: Your gorgeous single, You Give Me Something, is out now, and I just adore it. It gives me tingles in my spine and a lump in my throat and just this exhilarating feeling, So, anyway, can you give us your own personal description of the track, its whole vibe and where/how you came to write it?

JAMES: Basically it's kind of inspired by my girlfriend, at the time, I was a young guy and it was kind of an honest love song. I started writing a proper love song, but I think there's too many of them around that are not exactly how people feel, not the truth of what they feel, so I wanted to write a horribly honest song about how I felt. I wanted the guy in the song (me) to give as little away as possible, kind of like the leanest love song that you could write without totally doing the girls heads in. So you're not giving away anything but the tiniest little bit, just to keep her there, because you're still a bit, 'is it gonna work or is it not?' and that's what it's about that really.
