I’ve Never Bought You Flowers
To be honest, the first time I heard about James Morrison was when he was featured in MTV. He was a skinny English guy, wearing a white wifebeater, holding a guitar, and looking like he had just gotten out of bed.
A few seconds into the interview, I heard him comment on how some people ask him why he sounded like an African-American. But as I watched, listening to the way he spoke and how he answered the questions, I couldn’t imagine how he supposedly sang to make them say that.
So I waited a while, and he started talking about his song called “You Give Me Something”, and that’s when I heard it for the first time.
And now, a month later, I’m listening to that same song, and I’m finally able to understand what he was saying about the lyrics of this song. Although it feels like a very romantic and sweet song, listening to the words I can understand what it was originally intended to be―a cruel, almost heartless song.
From even his supposedly sweetest words like “I’m willing to give it a try” and “Someday I might call you from my heart,” show just how unattached the singer is to someone who seems to love him so much. Even if he’s singing in a sweet tone, with a lot of soul, it seems like he is just sticking around because he’s got nothing better to do. At the same time, it seems that the singer really doesn’t think so highly of relationships and of love itself.
Ultimately, the song could keep its listener stuck in between hopeful and heartbroken, because you know the singer is staying, but one has to wonder where he really is.
As for James Morrison, I think I’m going to keep my eye (and ear) on this guy. Looks can be deceptive―this guy has so much soul, and such a sharp way of conveying emotions, that even in the simple lines of the song, he was able to make me feel everything the relationship was and wasn’t. Looking forward to more from this artist.

I can’t believe you like James Morrison too! I found him out around a month ago too, actually. But not from MTV. I saw a friend blog about him so I downloaded songs by him.
And so far, my favorite would still be “The pieces don’t fit anymore”
