[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 an episode of the American TV-show What About Brian, and also in an episode of Grey's Anatomy. The song "You Give Me Something" appeared in an episode of Ugly Betty, and a promo for FX. The song "This Boy" appeared in an episode of the CW show One Tree Hill. James is currently promoting the album in the States where it was released in March 2007.
