TUNNELS OF LONDON
When Bradford was eleven years old he stumbled across a tenor sax player performing in the London underground. There was no audience, no agenda. He just played to himself, washed in the natural reverb of the tunnel walls. The effect was profound and lasting. "Tunnels of London" is a dedication to that memory. It's about the hunger that kind of moment creates: the desire to exist fully inside music, no ego, no obligations, no time. The lyrics move through frustration and longing, cycling through everything he's "over" before arriving, again and again, back in that tunnel. A surrender to something truer than the grind. The most personal thing on the record: a song about chasing the quiet serenity of a lone sax player steeped in sound, playing to no one. Maybe one kid is listening. Now this burden of a dream is yours.
