Voice of James Morrison

Sedikit maklumat yang diambil dari wikepedia untuk dikongsi mengenai salah seorang penyanyi kegemaran den.


Early life

Morrison was born in the town of RugbyWarwickshire, where he was surrounded by the influence of his parents' record collection; his mother was a fan ofsoul while his father enjoyed listening to folk and country.[4] He began playing guitar when his uncle Joe showed him how to play a blues riff.[5] As a teenager he started busking when he lived in the village of Porth, near Newquay, Cornwall, in a local pub called the Phoenix which is in Watergate Bay. He used to practice playing his guitar on the prom looking over Porth beach. He took GCSE music at Treviglas Community College. After some years of covering other musician's songs, he eventually started to write his own. He attributes his distinctive voice to a severe bout with whooping cough that nearly killed him when he was a baby.[6]
Morrison has alluded to an unhappy childhood affected by poverty and illness; he said of his hometown "the best thing is I've got memories of being a kid there and the worst thing is I've got memories of being a kid there."[4] When Morrison was only a few weeks old, he contracted whooping cough and was given a 30% chance of survival from doctors, who believed that if he survived, he would be severely brain damaged.[7] He states that he "went blue and stopped breathing and [doctors] had to resuscitate me four times."[7] After the experience, his parents divorced when he was four years old and he suffered from low self esteem at school, where he was ostracized for being involved in music rather than sports. He finally gained confidence when he moved to Cornwall as a teenager, where people were more accepting of his musical inclinations.[7]

According to Morrison, he was influenced by music from a very young age, listening to artists such as Stevie WonderOtis ReddingVan Morrison and Al Green. Morrison said that the first time he heard Stevie Wonder's voice he was close to tears, and has since been fascinated by the way he utilizes his voice.[8]
Working in Derby, Morrison found an Irish bar called "Ryan's" which runs an open mic night on Wednesdays and Sundays. Morrison met Kev Andrews, who later produced Morrison's demo tape.[9][10]

Lyrics die:

When it's black,
Take a little time to hold yourself,
Take a little time to feel around,
Before it's gone.
You won't let go, but you still keep on falling down.
Remember how you saved me now,
From all of my wrongs.
And if there's love just feel it,
And if there's life we'll see it.
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go.

Say those words, say those words like there's nothing left.
Close your eyes and you might begin that there is some way out.
Open up, open up your heart to me now.
Let it all come pouring out,
There's nothing I can't take.

And if there's love just feel it,
And if there's life we'll see it.
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go.

(Won't let you go, won't let you go)
And if your sky falling,
Just take my hand and hold it.
You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go.

(Won't let you go, won't let you go)

And if you feel the failing of the light.
And you're too weak to carry on the fight.
And all your friends that you care for have disappeared.
I'll be here now darling, forever, holding on.
Woah

And if there's love just feel it,
And if there's life we'll see it.
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go.

(Won't let you go, won't let you go)
Woah no

And if your sky falling,
Just take my hand and hold it.
You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go.

(Won't let you go, won't let you go)
Woah no, yeah

I won't let you go, no I wont let,
I won't let you go, no I wont let,
I won't let you go, no I wont let you go.
