In My Dream song Lyrics

Since you’ve gone
Nothing seems to fit no more
Nothing (…) it was before

Everyday
Is a battle that I just can’t win
I know I won’t see you again

But I keep waiting for the night
I close my eyes and hope you’ll find me sleeping

Coz in my dreams
We can spend (…) times just talking
In my dreams
We’re side by side just walking

The places we used to go
Are still there
In my dreams

And as hard as it seems
Till then I’ll wait
To see you again
In my dreams

Don’t you wake me up
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I’ve been waiting for a zillion years

James's Dad death to liver disease with alcohol

2010-12-18T01:48:00.000-08:00

Singer James Morrison's father Paul Catchpole 60 years old died of disease liver after a 20 years battle with alchohol. His body was discovered by paramedics in his squalid flat surrounded. A post mortem report was revealed he had drank so much, his liver was filled up into the fat. The inquest at Coventry Coroner's Court was told, "Paul had been drinking ‘continually’ for six months before his death".

Nicky Catchpole 42 years old, James older sister told, "My dad went through phases of being on benders and then totally straight. The most recent bender before he died was the worst one he ever had. He was on a drinking binge for six months. It was continual drinking from morning until night and not eating."

Coventry and Warwickshire coroner Sean McGovern said: "Alcohol is a legal drug and you drink alcohol and if it causes you death that is natural causes. This is something that has occurred over a period of time. The impression I get is that Mr Catchpole was drinking to excess over a period of time. The liver doesn't work as well as it should because it is gradually turning into fat and that changes over time and can cause death as it has here."

Paul worked as a painter and decorator, down James' mum Suzy when he was four years old. Months before the tragedy the 26-year-old said he rang his dad every week to ‘check he's still alive’.

Months before Paul died, James said: ‘He's an alcoholic but he's a sweetheart, really. He copes with problems the only way he knows how."

James Morrison: Welcomes In Albion arrivals

2010-09-01T14:02:00.000-07:00

James Morrison believes Scharner’s extensive experience and Fortune’s link up play with aid the Premier League survival bid.

Morrison said, “The more players the better. Paul Scharner is an experienceable player and a powerful player. More experience can only help us so onwards and upwards. We saw on Sunday that created one or two matters and made opportunity for other people. When he was here before in half a season he scored five goals so if he could score 10 that would be great.”

Scharner became the seventh new arrival when he signed last night.

Head coach Roberto Di Matteo said: “He is really the type of player we’ve been looking to bring in because he is a proven Premier League player, having performed systematically well in the top flight for the past four and a half years.”

James Morrison: Finally Does Justice To MJ Covers

2010-07-03T07:30:00.000-07:00

Michael Jackson was one of those artists whose music could only had been sung by him, but James Morrison's cover of MJ's 'Man in the Mirror' proves that there's an exception to every rule. Morrison is an English singer/songwriter who rose to fame with his debut single 'You give me something.' The song was number one all over Europe but failed to make an impact in the US.
But after the 26 year old decided to cover one of Jackson's most beloved songs, he has found a warm welcome from US fans. His cover is climbing up the charts and promises to be one of this year's most surprising new artists.
After many others have attempted to cover MJ songs and failed miserably, it is refreshing to hear an honest delivery without the ridiculous attempt to copy Jackson's delivery.
James accomplishes to deliver the song in a completely change way while at the same time keeping the feeling and message behind the 80's number one hit, which was supposed to be a duet between Michael Jackson and either Barbra Streisand or Madonna but as we all know that never happened.

James Morrison MUSIC INTERVIEW

2010-06-17T11:08:00.000-07:00

FORCED to walk around in the drizzling rain on a bleak Tuesday afternoon, James Morrison makes for a rather sorry sight, even if he is having his footage taken in front of the grand pile that is Harewood House.
He's here to stake out the joint out ahead in the graond of his imminent gig of Leeds's most famous noble home, but couldn't have picked a worst day to do a photoshoot."It's not a problem, man," he laughs, brushing the rain from his hair. "They've put me through a hell of a lot worse making videos over the years, ya know, standing for eight hours in temperatures of minus 15 for eight hours without any long johns."They never appear to send me anywhere warm. It's either somewhere or Iceland or London or Canada, then they film me being thrown into a freezing tank of water or something. And wherever I go it it isn't always as beautiful as this place."Morrison drinks in the stunning view that is the Harewood estate. The bottom of the incline towards is the spot where, next month, he'll take to the stage before an audience of thousands He'll be taking a break from writing what will be his latest album it's hard to believe it's his third. Still only 25, he's now been in the spotlight for over four years and racked up a Brit award, not to reference an impressive number of instantly recognisable hits.You Give Me Something, Wonderful World, Broken Strings, all easy listening modern classics which have secured him an increasingly broad audience."It was all girls at first," he admits. "Just girls and embarrassed guys would turn up to my gigs. Maybe it's the lyrics, I don't know, I never expected it that way – I'm not exactly the best looking bloke in the world with this big honk in the middle of my face."I never actually wanted to be some kind of lothario either, so I'm happy it seems to have changed over the last two years or so. Now I look out at my shows and its everyone from students to older couples, little kids, single people, which is great."I'm lucky in that they're all actually cool people who are into their music. But I am also conscious of being viewed as a bit middle of the road and I think my last album veered that way a bit, it lost its edge compared to the first album so I'm trying to do something change again with the third one."Morrison has also suffered slightly from being lumped in with other male solo artists with a similarly uplifting, radio friendly sound. From Paolo Nutini to James Blunt, the comparisons are easy, if not always fair. But he counts himself lucky to have been one of the first to emerge."When I first came along it was just before an influx of singer/songwriters came out," he says. "It just went mental for a while and there was always thatcomparison, which I understand."And every artist wonders about their success was it me or was my timing just good? And I think it's a bit of both really. I benefited from releasing my first batch of stuff in the summertime which always helps if you have that kind of sound."But I don't ever worry too much about how long I'll be around for. Every artist is conscious of it, of course they are, but you have to do what comes naturally and hope for the best. You can't try and force things a different way."There will be one slight difference on the next album: subject matter. The Rugby born singer now has a two year old daughter, Elsie, by his relationship with long-term partner Gill and admits it's been a thought provoking process of adjusting to being a family man as well as a rock star.He says: "Yeah, sometimes I fell like I should be 35, so much has happened to me. I've had to grow up a lot because on the first album I tried to go out and carry on having a good time, but my voice and my performance suffered."It feels like I've had an awakening of some kind and the last four years have definitely been a rollercoaster ride. I feel like a family man but if I get the opportunity to live it up on tour I do," he laughs, "so don't get me wrong."But I only get to do that because I go away a lot. I was in LA for two weeks and, even though it killed me being away from my daughter, at least I got some lie-ins and went to some bars and met some cool people. I admit I enjoy myself more than most people with kids."So he doesn't feel too fatigued by fame?"Oh no, it's not actually hard for me when it all comes down to it. I have a job I really enjoy and I get paid well and can give my family a nice home, buy my mum a car, I feel really privileged."Yes, it's hard to be away. But there's guys in the army who go away fighting, not knowing if they're coming back, that's the way I try to look at it."It's been tough keeping my relationship strong when I'm away, you come back and expect it to be good still and, you know, I've had problems with all that sort of stuff."But I now have a stronger sense of who I am. Having a kid has made me think about myself and about my upbringing, so I've tried to write songs about my dad, my brother, the birth of my daughter but nothing too obvious 'cos that would be just sickening."But whatever direction subject matter takes him in, fans of tunes like Broken Strings – Morrison's biggest hit to date – needn't expect a similar vibe to his new material.He says: "That was a one-off. It was something totally change, likely because it was me dueting with Nelly Furtado and stuff like that can just actually work and stuff but there's no use trying to repeat it."When I was working on the new album I had writers coming in and they were suggesting all these really big beats and I was like 'No! That's not what I want' they were trying to do the same kinda Broken Strings thing again."But that's a bit forced and I just want to do what comes to me. It's good to try new things and you're always gonna get some good songs and some not so good songs coming out but what matters it you do what comes naturally to you."But there's one aspect to becoming a hugely popular singer/songwriter that will never feel natural to Morrison – that's hearing his songs performed on TV shows like X Factor and Britain's Got Talent."There's a bit of me that always cringes when I hear someone singing You Give Me Something or whatever it is," he laughs. "But I supposed it's a nice measure of success that your stuff gets chosen like that."And in a weird way it's always good when someone comes on and butchers one of your songs, 'cos it kinda makes you sound better when you perform it yourself, you know what I mean?"

At Walton Heath, Morrison wins U.S. Open qualifier

2010-05-28T03:22:00.000-07:00

At Walton Heath James Morrison won a sectional U.S. open qualifier on Monday, earning his first trip to a major championship. Morrison finished at 11-under par, won the qualifier by two shots and will head to Pebble Beach June 17, 2010 for the PGA Tour's second major championship. Said Morrison "I`m really looking forward to it". "I've only ever seen Pebble Beach on the television and it looks unbelievable. So I can't wait. It's been a great season already - it's been a bit unexpected, but I'm learning and growing in confidence all the time. I'm starting to feel much more comfortable out here now, and that shows in my results." Morrison won this year's Madeira Islands Open on the European Tour. Argentina's Rafael Echenique came in second, followed by England's Gary Boyd, Spain's Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Rhys Davies of Wales and Northern Ireland's Gareth Maybin. A six-man playoff for the final five spots took place with Gregory Havret, Mikko Ilonen, Rikard Karlberg, Jean-Francois Lucquin and Pablo Martin earning places in the U.S. Open field. The loser of the playoff was BMW PGA Championship winner Simon Khan. "I had a few legless shots this afternoon," said Khan. "Swing-wise I'm delighted with how I played, but I couldn't focus on the greens."

New 'Stranger' Song by James Morrison

2010-03-24T08:01:00.000-07:00

The British singer - whose 2006 track came eighth in the UK singles chart - has revealed he wrote the song about a man who befriended him on a bus.

He explained: "I got on this bus and there was this p**shead on there. He was a bit of a drunk and he was trying to hug everyone. He was trying to get cuddles and he was deaf as well so he was shouting 'I love you' to everyone on the bus and freaking everyone out.

"But I wrote a song about it. 'Wonderful World' was written for him because I felt sorry for him man. He had a lot of love to give and nobody wanted it. It's a sad story man."

"He came up to me, and he said'I love you man!' And I was like, 'I love you too, dude!' and gave him a hug. I don't know, I just felt really sorry for him, he's so alienated from everyone anyway because he's deaf. He wasn't being aggressive either, he was being really loving but everyone was just being weird with him, which I can see why."

James Morrison is coming to town

James Morrison: 'No nearer to date for training return'

2009-11-08T13:00:00.000-08:00

ROBERTO Di Matteo has conceded that James Morrison is still some way from returning after revealing the extent of his injury nightmare.
The Albion midfielder has been out of action for six months due to dreadful complications to what was initially a heel blister.
Morrison, who is resting in the north east, should have been sidelined for a relatively short time but a series of setbacks, including major infection, forced him to abort his return to training and ruined his hopes of a swift comeback.
The head coach was unable to offer specific details of his medical treatment or the procedures involved.
But I understand the Scotland international was, at one point, taken to hospital for emergency treatment to his foot and forced to have areas of infection removed to allow the skin to start healing properly.
Because of this process, Morrison’s estimated time of recovery has been difficult to judge and even the simplest of tasks, such as wearing boots, has proved impossible.
Di Matteo admitted he was still no nearer knowing when Morrison would be ready to resume training.
“His frame of mind is one of frustration,” Di Matteo told the Birmingham Mail. “He’s been out for so long for that kind of injury.
“With a cruciate injury you understand it’ll be seven or eight months but with James you don’t know whether it’ll be one week, two weeks, three weeks, two months or whatever – you cannot put a timescale on it.
“I’ve never seen it before but it’s a very complicated and difficult part of the body. He went to see specialists and consultants and they told us it’s a difficult injury from that respect.”
Morrison has been relatively inactive due to the nature of the injury.
But Di Matteo is confident the player will be able to return to his appropriate fitness levels once he’s ready to resume training.
“He cannot cycle, he cannot run,” he added. “He can’t even swim. He’s a professional footballer and knows that sooner or later – hopefully sooner – he will have to get back into training and that should drive him to keep in good shape as much as he can.”

'Get to You' , James Morrison New Song

2009-11-04T13:00:00.000-08:00

In a music video James Morrison goes out to the park supporting his new single called "Get to You". The singer is seen wearing a black high necked coat on top of a shirt and sitting on a bench while watching people doing their activities. "Get to You" is a new song set to appear in the deluxe edition of James Morrison's 2008 studio album "Songs for You, Truths for Me" which peaked at No. 3 on U.K. Albums chart. The track was written by him during his tour break last Summer and is expected to be released for digital purchase in mid November. In the meantime, James still has several scheduled concerts on his calendar. From a November 6 show in Paris, he will head up to Basel, Cardif and other big cities across Europe before making one last stop at Brighton Center on December 8. Complete details about his forthcoming show can be seen on his MySpace.

James Morrison: James DeGale shows his potential after breezing to early finish

2009-11-01T07:19:00.000-08:00

Produced of James DeGale another sensational finish for his personal highlights reel as he dispatched Ally Morrison for his fourth win as a professional last night. The night the Olympic champion was booed on his professional debut seems a long time ago now.
In the 6mins 45sec Morrison lasted with the Olympic middleweight gold medal winner, the Cumbrian proved he was brave, but DeGale showed he has the style to make it to the top of the paid code.
"I told people I had the style to make it as a pro and I showed a bit of it there,” said DeGale, who trained with Floyd Mayweather Jr, the five-weight world champion, in Las Vegas this summer. “I have been sparring with the best in the country already and I know I can go all the way.”
DeGale - who dedicated the win to Darren Sutherland, his Olympic semi-final opponent, who died last month - looked aggressive and mixed his punches well, but his third-round finish at the Echo Arena, Liverpool, was out of the top drawer. He landed four successive left hooks before standing Morrison up on his toes with a right hook and landed another left, which prompted the intervention of Howard Foster, the referee.
There was no one who denied Frankie Gavin’s ability as an amateur. The only British boxer to win a gold medal in the history of the World Amateur Championships had no peers in the unpaid code, but plenty of doubters when he turned professional after failing to make the weight for last year’s Olympic Games.
Well, he is doing just fine, judging by the style of his fourth win in the paid code over Steve Saville last night.
Saville, 33, a stocky, rugged battler is good enough to have won a Midlands Area title, but he could not live with the speed and accuracy of Gavin and was stopped after 2min 32sec of the second round as he rose from a knockdown.
Gavin, 23, still has breathtaking speed and a fine array of punches, but under the training of Anthony Farnell he is starting to add power. Against Saville he seemed faultless, keeping his distance and picking his shot with such accuracy, Saville looked dispirited after barely a minute.
“I felt I boxed well, but I will wait to see what Arnie (Farnell) says,” Gavin, a light-welterweight, said. “He always finds something to be improved on.
“I think I’m adapting to the pro game quite well. In the amateurs there is a lot of pitter patter stuff, but I’ve been working on putting more weight into my shots."

James Generous star gives a song to help Lewis's fund

2009-10-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

James Morrison AWARD winning singer songwriter is backing a £300,000 fund raising drive to send a four year old cancer sufferer to America for cutting edge treatment.
The pop star, who was discovered in Derby, has agreed for his music to be used free of charge on a video being made about Lewis Mighty.
The youngster has neuroblastoma a rare form of childhood cancer and been given just a opportunity of 20% surviving the next two years.
Jaime and Perry his mum and dad, of Mackworth, are now trying to raise £300,000 to send him to New York for immunotherapy treatment.
The team behind the appeal have decided to use a song from James' latest album, called Once When I Was Little, on a video being made to raise awareness of Lewis's story.

James said he was only too happy to help out.
He said: "I'm actually glad to support and help publicise the Lewis Mighty Fund in this way.
"Lewis's story is one of immense bravery and determination and actually struck a chord with me, not only because of my links to the Derby area but because I now have a child of my own."
Fund spokesman Stuart Holness said the backing of the Brit Award winning singer was a huge boost to the appeal.
He said: "It is fantastic to get the support of someone as well known as James Morrison.
"He has been very generous in allowing us to use his music without charge and the song we have chosen for the video is very poignant."
Multi million record selling singer James first became known in Derby when he played at open mic nights in the city. He was discovered at Ryan's Bar in St Peter's Street, Derby, in 2004 and has since become a global star, performing duets with singers such as Nelly Furtado.
James now joins other celebrities, including champion boxer Amir Khan and Rams skipper Robbie Savage, in backing the Lewis Mighty appeal.
Mum Jaime said: "James Morrison is a fantastic singer and we love his music, so we were so pleased to hear he has allowed us to use this song.
"He is such a big star and to have the backing of someone like him is a huge boost."

PAOLO NUTINI, SET LIST

2009-10-01T02:08:00.000-07:00

And, by the end of this energetic set, the Paisley 22 year old showed just why he’s already got more gold and platinum discs than candles on his cake.
His new bunch of songs were well received, but sound problems mid set eclipse Candy, making it less sweet than it could have been.
Accompanied by a excellent, ramshackle band of brothers, Nutini showed he’s as comfortable taking on James Morrison’s blue eyed soul of Smokey Joe’s Cafe as he is with country tinged honky tonk numbers like New Shoes.

2009-09-27T12:28:00.000-07:00

Te Papaiouru marae will resonate with tributes to Sir Howard Morrison today as local entertainers pay their respects before his funeral tomorrow.
Morrison whanau spokesman Monty Morrison said entertainers including Frankie Stevens, Jackie Clarke, Tina Cross and Russell Harrison would sing at 2pm today.
He said a karakia would be held at 7pm followed by a late evening performance on a floodlit stage on the marae by Te Arawa kapa haka pairs.
Crowds began gathering at the marae at the weekend to mourn the passing of Sir Howard last Thursday. Wave upon wave of people, numbering well over 1000 yesterday, continued to arrive at Te Arawa's premier marae on Lake Rotorua's waterfront.
Among them was Wi Wharekura, the only surviving member of the original Howard Morrison Quartet.
Mr Wharekura, who had travelled from his home on the Australian Gold Coast, had a friendly dig at his longtime mate.
He said story had it that Sir Howard kept one eye on the road and the other on himself in his rear sight mirror as he was driving. Or he'd take over from the car radio.
"You'd be listening to the radio and Louis Armstrong would come on and he'd turn it off and do it himself," said Mr Wharekura.
"If it was Sammy Davis Jnr he would switch him off too ... he was the best of the best and the thing is that he told himself that he was.
"People would ask me what kind of a fella was he when he was young and I'd say he was a bloody pain in the arse! He was brimming with self confidence. He once said he had a fan club and it only had one member, 'me"'.
Mr Wharekura said he was approached by Sir Howard to join his troupe in 1957.
The would-be schoolteacher was in two minds until he heard he would be paid £350 ($700) a week and have all his expenses paid for the year. "I just said, 'Okay, mate where do I sign?"'
Deputy Prime Minister Bill English said the entertainer had characteristics most politicians would love to have.
"He was popular," said Mr English to great laughter.
About 5000 people are expected at tomorrow's service for Sir Howard.
Mr Morrison said large television screens would be placed near the marae for those without access.
After a public ecumenical service in front of Tamatekapua, his casket will be taken to St Faith's Church in front of the marae for a brief period of prayer by whanau and invited guests.
Sir Howard will buried on the slopes of Mt Ngongotaha.

SUNNY SINGER JAMES MORRISON

2009-08-26T03:16:00.000-07:00

'Nothing Ever Hurt Like You' hitmaker James Morrison loves performing during the summer because the warm weather means his fans enjoy themselves more.
James Morrison sings better when the sun is shining.
The 'Nothing Ever Hurt Like You' hitmaker says the atmosphere at his performances is better on a warm summer's day because his fans are more relaxed.
He said: "I think because it affects everyone if the sun shines out everyone gets relaxed and then so everyone's more interesting in having a good time. Rather than if it's a actual bad atmosphere because it's raining and the people have directed all their present at the music in an analytical way, rather than just enjoying it for what it is, you know. So yeah, it helps me a lot."
The 25 year old singer and guitarist also revealed he is working on new material with the aim of releasing a new track later this year but inclued he would rather not bring out anything if it isn't up to his standards.
He explained to Absolute Radio DJ Ben Jones: "At the moment, I'm writing to get new songs. So if anything comes that I like then there'll be another single at the end of the year. If not, then it'll just be the wait for the next album.
"I'd like to be able to do it rapidly because that's sometimes the best way clobber comes but I don't wanna rush. I'd rather cease than come back out with a c**p album."

2009-08-15T11:08:00.000-07:00

JAMES Morrison is augmenting increasingly baffle as his injury problems continue.
Roberto Di Matteo announce that Albion’s midfielder was still no nearer to recovering from a foot injury.
The Scotland international needed surgery after a blister became infected, causing complications.
Di Matteo expressed his disappointment.
“James Morrison is hushed out and I can’t give a date on him,” he said. “I don’t think somebody thought it would take this long.
“It’s difficult to explain the problem and I’m not a doctor. It started off as a blister and it got infected and from there it’s a long story. It’s not good news for the player or for us because he is an important player for us.”
There is greater news on Neil Clement, with Di Matteo reporting no further injury problems a head of tomorrow’s game at Nottingham Forest.
“Fortunately everybody is fine there are no fresh injuries,” he added.
“Neil Clement is doing some brief stuff now and we hope that he might be training with us next week and joining in with the squad if everything goes to plan.”

James Morrison snubbed by Madonna

2009-07-22T15:07:00.000-07:00

James Morrison revealed that he was snubbed by Madonna once.Talking to Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield on This Morning earlier today, the 24-year-old star said he wasn’t that bothered as he wasn’t much of a Madge fan anyway.He explained he was never a massive fan of Madonna .

Here it is how it happened:

“I was really nervous - whether you like her or not, she's still Madonna! I just said 'hello, pleased to meet you' and she just looked at my hand and said 'what do you do?' and I just felt really awkward and thought, 'Ahh, I've been snubbed by Madonna!'... I did think it was a bit rude but you get over it. I would've been kind of disappointed if she was really nice though, you know?”

He also revealed that before he became a popstar, he also did a host of hard-grafting jobs - including being a postman.

James Morrison feels the love in concert

2009-05-08T02:20:00.001-07:00

Whether it's unfortunate timing, bad luck or simply a sound that can't be easily pigeonholed, your heart breaks a little when you watch performers such as James Morrison, who delighted an adoring crowd at the Granada Theater on Thursday night.

The question just wouldn't disappear: Why isn't he more popular?

Could it be that his electric, eclectic style slip-slides across several genres? R&B, soul, pop, folk, blues and even a bit of funk dapple Morrison's plaintive, potent tunes.

Powered by his smoky, honeyed rasp, this Brit easily plays the dual roles of sensitive balladeer and raucous showman. Garrulous and cheerfully profane, his easy rapport with the audience could turn on a dime into haunting introspection.

While many of the best moments were slow, almost still, excavations of the soul, Morrison, clad in a boho vest and black trousers and backed by a sharp four-piece band and a pair of backup singers, mostly mined his latest album, Songs for You, Truths for Me, which skews a bit more pop.

If Morrison could simply bottle the adulation displayed at the Granada on Thursday, he'd be a global superstar instead of an immensely talented, frustratingly little-known artist toiling away in relative obscurity. But perhaps he had a gut feeling how his career might unfold before his first album ever hit the shelves.

The title of his 2006 debut? Undiscovered.

James Morrison - Biography

2009-04-06T22:12:00.000-07:00

James Morrison (born James Morrison Catchpole in 1984) is a singer/songwriter from Rugby, Warwickshire, England. He says that his musical influences include Al Green, Otis Redding, Cat Stevens and the Kinks.

At 13 Morrison began to learn guitar when his uncle showed him how to play a blues riff. He started busking when he lived at Porth near Newquay, in Cornwall. After years of playing other musicians’ songs, he eventually started to write his own.

Polydor Productions took charge and signed him. He became the supporting artist for Corinne Bailey Rae on her tour supporting her debut album.

In 2006 he debuted with his single You Give Me Something which became a hit single around Europe and Japan. It reached the #2 spot in Holland and the #5 spot in the UK. And James proves that he isn’t a one-hit-wonder - his debut album Undiscovered went straight to #1 in the UK and has sold more than 500,000 copies world wide.

The second single released from the album is “Wonderful World,” which has already been a top 10 hit in the UK reaching the #8 spot.

He is set to be the opening act, along with Nylon and Jesse McCartney, on chart topping girl band Joie’s forthcoming arena tour. He also performed at the 2006 V Festival. He was due to only play one of the smaller tents but, due to the amount of people wanting to get into the tent, he had a ten-minute set on the main stage before Hard-Fi came on (Hylands Park).
