James Morrison will be performing at:

Delamere Forest, Delamere, Cheshire, on Saturday 3rd July, and
Westonbirt Arboretum, Nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire, on Sunday 18th July.

Best described as the British Stevie Wonder, Morrison’s music incorporates a variety of elements from the soul music maters such as Ray Charles, Bob Seger, Rod Stewart, and Joe Cocker.

Morrison had performed for thousands of fans and at some of the largest stadiums and arenas around the globe, and now adding Dubai to the list!

“We are really excited about adding such a star to our artists portfolio, James will surely attract a huge fan base, which he built in this region due to his unique style and voice” declared Anthony Younes, founder and organizer of the festival.

Although James Morrison hit the charts at the tender age of 22, his expressive voice sounds like it has been around for much, much longer.

Tell me, where are all the happy people?
Where is the simple song?
Even the birds have lost their music

Tell me what is going on
Well, tell me what is going on

And we live our lives through magazines
And see our neighbours on tv
Hope someday that we can be like them
And ain’t it sad that deep inside
We lost ourselves and don’t know why
I look up to the sky when I’m alone
And I wonder is there’s anybody home

Everybody’s gonna say it’s crazy
They say that it can’t be done
When did we all stopped dreaming
About a world where everyone belongs
Where everyone belongs

The children lost their childhood
The mothers have lost their strength
The fathers have to keep on working

Till the day the money’s spent
Oh, before they drop and die

Well, we turn our back on what is real
We don’t even know how it feels
Really want to buy a bigger car
Baby ain’t it true that deep in you
This feeling lives and lingers too
You look up to the sky when you’re alone
And you wonder is there’s anybody home

Tell me, tell me, tell me what is going on
We live our lives through magazines
We see our neighbours on tv
Hope someday we’ll be like them
We lost ourselves and don’t know why
I look up to the sky when I’m alone
And I wonder is there anybody home
Is there anybody home

Will you ever return?
I want you satisfide
‘Till you’re by my side
Don’t wait any longer…

Why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, Why don’t you come back?
Please hurry…

Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time

You said goodbye
I was trying to hide
What I felt inside
Until you passed me by

You said you’d return
You said that you’d be mine
‘Till the end of time
Don’t wait any longer!

Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, Why don’t you come back?
Please hurry…
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time

Since you’ve been gone…
Opened my eyes

And I realize
What we had together

Will you ever return?
I’ll have you change your mind
If you won’t stay mine
Just love me forever!
Love me forever…

Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry!
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time

Don’t ever leave me…

And when it pulls in
You’re not standing there
Couples everywhere
I reach into my pocket
Just to see if I got the day right

And what I cherished in my mind
Perhaps it never was
I loved you just because
Your the only one to stop me wasting all my love

(Chorus)
But didn’t i give enough
For you to fall for me
But maybe just a little to much
When you were calling me
Washing me from your hair
I could wait around all year
Should I, should I

Still sitting on a platform
Just incase you change your mind
We can share my wine
I kept a little back
But it’s getting kinda hard to leave

But people at the station
Are concerned for me
For me honestly
They know I’m just another fool
Wasting all his love

(Chorus)

Maybe you took the plane
Maybe you don’t remember
Maybe you just don’t give a care
For some guy sitting on a platform

Didn’t I put you up
When it was cold for you
Didn’t I wait around
Because you told me to

Wash me out your hair
Like I was never there

Should I, should I…leave.

So close to midnight
Under the streetlights
Leaving behind what I don`t need

I`ve walked like a blind man
And my eyes are open
And you are the only place for me

Won’t you hold on just for a while
Please don`t give up on me tonight

Coz I`m on my way
I chased the day
Yeah I`ll keep running all night

I just wont rest to catch my breath
I will run every red light

To get to you
No I will, get to you
No I will, get to you

I`ll chase past the tail lights

Head for the skyline

Hoping that, that wont change your faith

I see them appearing
The cracks in the pavement
Running I pray I`m not too late

Wont you hold on just for a while
Please
Please don`t give up on me tonight

Coz I`m on my way
I`ll chase the day
Yeah I`ll keep running all night

I just wont rest to catch my breath
I will run every red light

To get to you
No I will get to you
No I will get to you
I will

I`ll get to you
Just hold on a little longer
I`ll get to you
Oh just don`t give up on me
I will get to
I will get to you

Coz I`m on my way
I chased the day
Yeah I`ll keep running all night

I just wont rest to catch my breath
I will run every red light

To get to you
No I will get to you
No I will get to you
I will

I will get to
I will get to you

We should just turn around
We’ve got hearts that want to love but they only fight
I don’t want to go to war
I don’t know what we’re fighting for?
We’ve got hearts that lift us up but we let them down
It’s tearing us apart inside
Fighting on the battle lines

We should be standing on the same side
We should be standing on the same side
On the same side

I need to get back but there’s nowhere ever feels this safe
The river the road disappear without a trace
The only thing that is clear is everything that’s in our way

Maybe we should turn around

We’ve got hearts that want to love but they only fight
I don’t want to go to war
I don’t know what we’re fighting for?
We’ve got hearts that lift us up but we let them down
It’s tearing us apart inside
Fighting on the battle lines

Don’t you know we should be standing on the same side
Don’t you know we should be standing on the same side
Don’t you know

It’s the cold that burns
It’s the reason why
It’s a lonely hurt that keeps hope inside
We got all we need
To turn around
Turn around
Just turn around

We should be standing on the same side yeah
Don’t you know we should be standing on the same side
On the same side

We’ve got hearts that want to love but they only fight
We’ve got hearts that lift us up but we let them down
We should be standing on the same side

But I, oh I, I’m gonna fix this world up for you
I’ll try, I’ll try to build it all around you
You’ll never gonna have to be alone
You’ll always know you got someone
To fix the world up for you

Well I’ll bet I’ll get it wrong
More times that I get it right
And I won’t even realize it
But I’ve been doing all I can
To stop you falling
Even now I’m holding my breath for you

But you don’t know, you don’t know
That I’m ready to hold you now, hold you now

I, oh I, I’m gonna fix this world up for you
I’ll try, I’ll try to build it all around you
You’ll never gonna have to be alone
Yeah you’ll alway now you got someone
To fix the world up for you

Gonna fix the world up, up for you
Gonna fix the world up, up for you
Gonna fix the world up, up for you
…

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 cried

I’m still here
But it hasn’t been easy
I’m sure
That you had your reasons
I’m scared
Of all 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
‘Coz 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 the park until 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

I’m still here
but it hasn’t been easy
I’m sure
that you had your reasons
I’m scared
of all this emotion
for years i’ve been holding is down

And I’d love to forgive and forget
So I’ll try to put all this behind us
Just know that my arms are wide open
The older I get the more than I know
Well it’s time to let this go

I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go

I’m still here
but it hasn’t been easy
I’m sure
that you had your reasons
I’m scared
of all this emotion
for years i’ve been holding is down

And I’d love to forgive and forget
So I’ll try to put all this behind us
Just know that my arms are wide open
The older I get the more than I know
Well it’s time to let this go
