James Morrison, nacido en los 80 pero con alma de los 60, 70 y de soul, aprendió a tocar la guitarra con 13 años y, antes de componer en ella sus propios temas, daba vida a los de sus ídolos, Otis Reading y Marvin Gaye, tocando en la calle. Publicó su primer disco 'undiscovered' en 2006 y su música sonó con fuerza tanto en el Reino Unido como más allá de sus fronteras.
El tema que da nombre a su primer trabajo está inspirado en un amigo de James...
'Ahora no está en su mejor momento, está perdido, no sabe dónde va. Me hace pensar que hay mucha gente ahí que podrían ser absolutamente sorprendentes en algo, pero sencillamente no tienen la oportunidad o no han sabido descubrir eso en lo que pueden ser tan buenos'
De este modo 'undiscoverd' se convierte también en una oda al talento por descubrir y descubrirse.
I look at you, you bite your tongue
You don't know why or where I'm coming from
But in my head I'm close to you
We're in the rain still searching for the sun
You think that I want to run and hide
That I keep it all locked up inside but I just want you to find me
I'm not lost; not lost, just undiscovered
And when we're alone we are all the same as each other
You see the look that's on my face
You might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered
Well the time it takes to know someone
It all can change before you know it's gone
So close your eyes feel the way I'm with you now
Believe there's nothing wrong
You think that I wanna run and hide
I'll keep it all locked up inside
But I just want you to find me
I'm not lost, I'm not lost, just undiscovered
And when we're alone we're all the same as each other
You see the look that's on my face
You might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered
I'm not running
I'm not hiding
If you dig a little deeper you will find me
I'm not lost, not lost, just undiscovered
And when we're alone we're all the same as each other
You see the look that's on my face, you might think that I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered
I'm not lost, not lost, just undiscovered
And when we're alone we're all the same as each other
You see the look that's on my face, you might think that I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered
