James Morrison chats to I Like Music


JAMES: Yeah.

ILM: Well, your music is soulful and, just incredible we think. Can you describe the James Morrison songwriting and music-making process?

JAMES: It depends really. Sometimes you can just have a feeling of what you want to write about. Like when I wrote Wonderful World, I just felt for this guy that I saw, I just felt sorry for him. It was that feeling of inadequacy I suppose or not being important that kind of struck with me and I thought I've got to write a song about that.

But then, other times, you get lyrics first and no melody, or if you find some good lyrics and know they rhyme then the melody will just come.

But I listen to old stuff when I'm writing to try to get some reference points of what sort of style I'm trying to write, so you can it as close as you can when you start writing it, rather than having to change it too much, you should know exactly what you want to do before you start, because it can get long and drawn out, like pulling teeth sometimes. But lyrics are really important.
