N.B - Details of chosen track/artist

James Morrison is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist from Rugby, Warwickshire. The genre of his music is a mix of pop rock, soft rock and blue-eyed soul. His debut album ‘Undiscovered’, the album we will be taking our track from, was released July 2006 and debuted at the top of the UK album chart. ‘Songs For You, Truths For Me’, his second and latest album, was released September 2008 and entered the top 5 in the UK album chart. He has released a total of 9 singles, 5 from his debut album and 4 from his latest album. The track that we have chosen is titled ‘This Boy’ and is taken from his debut album ‘Undiscovered’.

For reference, here are the lyrics to the song:
This boy wants to play,
There's no time left today,
It's a shame 'cause he has to go home.

This boy's got to work
Got to sweat just to pay what he gets to get left all alone.

Well let's step outside,
Let's go for a ride,
Just for a while.
No we won't get caught,
Well that's what I thought, until we cry.

Chorus
I'm still here,
But it hasn't been easy,
I'm sure that you had your reasons,
I'm scared for this emotion,
For years I've been holding it down,
For years I've been holding it down.

This girl tries her best every day,
But it's all gone to waste 'cause there's no one around,
This girl she can draw she can paint,
Likes to dance she can skate,
Now she don't make a sound.

We'll play in our park,
'Till it's too dark for us to see
Well we'll make our way home,
With mud on our clothes,
She won't be pleased.

Chorus
I'm still here,
But it hasn't been easy,
I'm sure that you had your reasons,
I'm scared for this emotion,
For years I've been holding it down.

And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.

Well it's time to let this go.
I got to let it go (x4)

Chorus
I'm still here,
But it hasn't been easy,
I'm sure that you had your reasons,
I'm scared for this emotion,
For years I've been holding it down.

And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.

And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.
Well it's time to let it go.
