[edit] Album Information

When James Morrison was in New Zealand, and appeared on the New Zealand Idol show, the two finalists asked Morrison about the meaning behind the song You Give Me Something, and Morrison said that it was intended to be a 'harsh love song', and the lyrics mean that the protagonist of the song does not love the person as much as she loves him, but is willing to give the relationship a try.

The song "Better Man" was played in a episoide of the American tv-show What About Brian. James is currently promoting the album in the States where it was released in March 2007.
