Let me break my own heart

But since then, things have positively changed a lot
Bradford is my city, Bradford is my land
My new land
Because I fled from the Conga, I fled the war
So for me, uh, there was no choice
Uh, Bradford is my land now
Uh, no-nostalgie
No, before that, maybe memories
Is it something about memory, memory about Bradford?
Nostalgia-wise, am I thinking about back in the past?
Things that are personal to me?
Uh, my mother is from Bradford
I went five years ago
When I arrived in this city
And it was up that hill
And it was quite dark
And I saw lots of that yellow brick everywhere
Which is also what Bradford is built from
And I was at the bus station
For two and a half years at one point
And then moved to Leeds
For approximately four and a half years
I've since moved back to Bradford
And been here for about a year and a half
And I can safely say
I have never been as in love with the city as I am right now
On a daily basis, I discover things
And good reasons to love this city
Uh, for example, venues I could start with
The 1 in 12 Club
Uh, a beautiful organization, uh, supportive of its members
And, uh, supported by its members
Uh, a vital resource for political, uh, literature and events and so on
Uh, which is, which is good for people who are interested in that sort of thing
Uh, they do film showings and, and other things
That's one of my favorite places and gigs and so on
Uh, there's the Playhouse, uh, a wonderful place
Where you can display your art, you can play your music
Uh, you can meet people
And you can perform your theatrical pieces
