Tony Anderson - Tenderness (feat. Chris Coleman)

Details

Description

A few families of hummingbirds live in the vines right outside of our home in Los Angeles. They've become little friends of mine over the last year. I make nectar for them, talk with them and look after them when we get heavy rain or strong winds. Each day they chase one another outside of my studio as I work. They have made my life infinitely beautiful.

As I was writing Tenderness, the momma hummingbirds built nests right next to my door and spent time looking in at me as I played. They were drawn to the music. I didn't know why Tenderness came to me when I first received it and I still don't know what the song is about. It may be quite some time before I know. This is not intended to come off as religious, but I haven't talked to God much since my mom died, and I don't hear him anymore. I miss the connection we had before my mom died. And in the midst of this, these little hummingbirds have come to spend time with me. When they're around, I experience peace - and I'm learning to take a breath and slow down. They don't take things too seriously, so maybe I don't have to. Most days I've just been sitting and watching these fragile little friends play and shout. Their tenderness has become a universe of healing to me.
