NELLY FURTADO BROKEN STRINGS

因此他从小必须自己上下学、煮晚餐、烫衣服，除了养成早熟独立的个性，也让他对生活有更深刻的感触。困苦的成长时期唯一不缺的大概就是音乐了，他的母亲曾经在乐团担任主唱，因此家中收集了Pink Floyd、Van Morrison、Stevie Wonder…等歌手的专辑，启发了他对音乐的兴趣﹔13岁时舅舅教给他蓝调吉他第一套和弦，直到如今他每天都会拿起吉他弹唱。做过旅馆清洁工、又被洗车厂解雇后，James义无反顾走上音乐之路，寻找pub演出机会，此时一位曾同台的吉他手邀他一起灌录试唱带，引起艺人经纪Spencer Wells好奇。

音时James才开口唱了两小节，就让Spencer Wells惊艳不已，迅速将他引荐给英国大厂Polydor。James Morrison坚持不唱无法感动自己的歌，将生命经验写作一首首动人旋律。他甚至推辞了在好莱坞电影中担任主角演出的机会；一张真诚写实、交织人生悲喜的音乐结晶"Undiscovered"顺利诞生。

绝对白人的年轻外表下却拥有媲美Otis Redding的成熟沧桑灵魂嗓音，James Morrison的首次出击就叫全英乐评惊叹连连，Q杂志、The Gardian、Heat杂志纷纷给予四颗星好评﹔而乐迷同样臣服于他情感丰沛的歌声中，首支单曲"You Give Me Something"拿下英国金榜No.5，在iTunes数位下载榜与电台播发榜双双登上冠军，"Undiscovered"发行后亦荣获英国金榜冠军；取材自爵士乐巨擘Louis Armstrong传世名曲的"Wonderful World"再登英国金榜Top 8。也许你偶尔会感慨流行音乐市场上动听的歌曲很多，但是真正动人的好歌声却不容易寻觅；2007年初春，你的耳朵即将感受到James Morrison不可思议的声音魅力。

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything
When I love you
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking
It's the voice of someone else
Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay
You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real
Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us
Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late
Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay
You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real
Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late
You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real
Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh and I love you a little less than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last change to feel again
