Sobre el álbum
Tras el éxito estratosférico de su primer álbum, Songs for You, Truths for Me llegó en 2008 con la difícil tarea de consolidar a James Morrison como un artista de primer nivel. En este segundo trabajo, el cantautor británico presenta un sonido más pulido y con una producción más expansiva, explorando temas de amor y desamor con una mayor madurez.
El álbum se aleja de la crudeza acústica de su debut para abrazar un sonido de pop-soul más sofisticado. La producción es más rica, con arreglos de cuerda y una instrumentación más compleja que visten las canciones con una nueva elegancia. El disco tiene un aire más radiofónico y comercial.
El mayor éxito del álbum y uno de los más grandes de su carrera fue el dueto "Broken Strings", junto a la cantante canadiense Nelly Furtado. Esta poderosa balada sobre una relación rota se convirtió en un éxito masivo en toda Europa y demostró la increíble química entre las dos voces. Esta canción definió la era de este disco.
"Songs for You, Truths for Me" es una secuela muy sólida y exitosa. Es un álbum que, si bien pierde parte de la frescura de su predecesor, gana en sofisticación y demuestra la evolución de James Morrison como compositor. Es un trabajo que lo afianzó como una de las grandes voces del soul británico.

(Feat. Nelly Furtado) 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 on 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 on 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 - Nothing Ever Hurt Like You

Letra
I see lovers in the streets walking, Without a care. They're wearing out loud Like there's something in the air Oooooh, and I don't care They're treading lightly No they, don't sink in There's no tracks to follow They don't care where they're going Hmm And if they're lucky and they'll, They'll get to see and if they're Really really lucky they'll Get to feel... And it kicks so hard, It breaks your bones. Cuts so deep It hits your soul. Tears your skin and Makes your blood flow. It's beter that you know, That love is hard. Love takes hostages, Gives them pain. Gives someone the power to Hurt you again and again Oooh, but they don't care And if they're lucky and they'll, They'll get to see and if they're Really really lucky they'll They'll get to feel. And if they're, they're truely blessed And they're get to believe And if you're dammed, you'll never Let youreself be diseased. And it kicks so hard, It breaks your bones. Cuts so deep It hits your soul. Tears your skin and Makes your blood flow. It's beter that you know, That love is hard. Hmmmmmmm... Kicks so hard, It breaks your bones. Cuts so deep It hits your soul. Tears your skin and Makes your blood flow. It's beter that we know... And it kicks so hard, It breaks your bones. Cuts so deep It hits your soul. Tears your skin and And makes your blood flow. It's beter that we know, That love is hard... Love is hard, love is hard. If it was easy, It wouldn't mean nothing tough.
