"Tender Glue (noun): Not a person. Not a band. Music made by an urge to create."
Tender Glue is made up of Tom Gluewicki, who was originally born and raised in Poland and later moved to New York in 2002. He explains his first encounter with playing music when he was twelve years-old after he had fixed a broken guitar that his brother brought home.
On September 25th, 2015, Tender Glue released his debut EP titled, “Wait For Steady Light”. After several years of creating original music, this album is a culmination of raw recordings, composed with minimal equipment, using the resources Tom had in his home. Full length album "Steady Light", which was a continuation of the EP, was released a year later on August 26th, 2016.
The latest album titled "Closet Leftovers", was released on September 28th, 2018 on Tom's record label called Don't Label Me Records. The first four singles from the album were released between February to June of 2018. "Closet Leftovers" was recorded and produced by Tom in his studio apartment closet after he moved from Brooklyn to Manhattan more than a year ago.
Lyrics:
When summer turns to fall All breaks and dissolve Time to go home On my way back home Wasted nights and days Were made to fade Time to go home On my way back home When colors wipe away Untouched sound the same Time to go home On my way back homeLyrics:
Don't want to wake up darling From your fateful dream But your cold blooded kisses Slowly drowning me You wear what you want You do as you please Don't call me fool Don't call me fool Just me and you Bright pale face Your beauty will always be With a white coat Laying over me You wear what you want You do as you please Don't call me fool Don't call me fool Don't call me fool Don't call me fool Just me and you Just me and you You wear what you want You do as you pleaseLyrics:
What's the point of keeping When parts are missing All the sounds wrapped up around my head I don't need sweet saying When record is playing All the sounds wrapped up around my head Life just begun Life just begun Life Just begun And ain't no better than it used to be What's the point of giving When calls are missing All the sounds wrapped up around my head I don't need your loving Don't explain me nothing All the sounds wrapped up around my head Life just begun Life just begun Life Just begun And ain't no better than it use to be Life just begun And ain't no better than it use to beLyrics:
When I wasn't loved my mother sat close to me He wished you were different one He wished you were different breed It feels like I'm gone Feels like I'm on the run Did I say Did I say I become Different one Different one Different one Singing, oh I was on the run and she was running next to me She said darling stop I can barely breathe Feels like I'm gone Feels like I'm on the run She said stop I show you love Different one Different one She's Different one Singing, oh Well time changed Not going back I tossed my towel And It feels just fine She said come here Lets finish up Light your candle Lets forget our pastLyrics:
By my side there's a soul Give her time she may talk Common love come and see Common love endlessly Endlessly Endlessly Endlessly Nothing's mine, nothing's yours Follow me till we turn to dust Common love come and see Common love endlessly Endlessly Endlessly EndlesslyLyrics:
On my way to see you now Wrapped my mind to turn back And be told It's all now gone I won't scream in my loudest song But I'll break What's unbreakable To be gone Some day I will break this sore So watch me How I will throw You into walls You into walls You into walls You into walls You into walls You into walls Some day I will break this sore So watch me How I will throw You into walls You into walls You into walls You into wallsLyrics:
Come walk to me I'm so slow I can barely see With you here Feels like I'm in conscious dream So stay with me I'm ok I'll always be With you here Feels like I'm in conscious dream With you hereLyrics:
Goodbye practice lines Goodbye princess of hundred alarms Goodbye brooklyn lies Goodbye picture of us I'll always carry you home My sweet sweet tomboy Goodbye bushwick blues Goodbye faded tattoos Goodbye coffee shops Goodbye drunk drunk nights I'll always carry you home My sweet sweet tomboy Goodbye wasted songs Hello days on my own Goodbye monkey walk Goodbye dream dream of us I'll always carry you home I'll always carry you drunk Once I knew you tomboyLyrics:
It was raining, it was rain It was raining, I was painting your face It was daily, it was day It was daily, daily made It amazed me, I'm amazed It amazed me how quick you forget How quick you forget Garbage in Garbage out Take a spin Take a ride There is no hope at the hope street There is no hope at the hope street There is no hope at the hope street There is no hope at the hope street It was raining, it was rain It was raining, I was chasing my dreams I won't let them, I won't let I wont let them race me, you race your race You race your race Garbage in Garbage out Take a spin Take a ride There is no hope at the hope street There is no hope at the hope street There is no hope at the hope street There is no hope at the hope street Garbage in Garbage out Take a spin Take a ride There is no hope at the hope street There is no hope streetLyrics:
Someone pounding on my door Someone calling me, my name I'm not here all alone I'm here with my friends I shouldn't let you go I can feel it in my bones I'm smashing through the floor They tried to hunt them down keep away But the cage is not the place All I want just one wish girl Once again all be free I shouldn't let you go I can feel it in my bones I'm smashing through the floor I shouldn't let you go I can feel it in my bones I'm smashing through the floorLyrics:
When she's coming back home In her little funny coat Throwing me in to bed Keep me warm Keep me safe Now sit next to me Introduce me to your dreams Bad stories on your back Hold on let it fly I wish those days Never stop Never end And time well spent Promise to me Will never change Will never change High heels wavy hair Not that I would care Than she took me down the street She would never make a fool of me I wish those days Never stop Never end And time well spent Promise to me Will never change Will never changeLyrics:
City girl With the village heart Funny way Of giving up City girl With broken heart Wait for me On the other side Just keep my notes I'll be back Here's my love That I left for you For You For You City Girl With the village heart Dirty hands but steady mind Just keep my notes I'll be back Here's my love That I left for you For You For You Just keep my notes I'll be backLyrics:
Would you come Sing to me All your thoughts Let them breathe And you did You treat me well Tennessee Would you come Dream with me Climb this wall Just to see Well you did You treat me well TennesseeLyrics:
Would you stay through tonight On the side watching fire It's an awful way to start this tune Next to the house Closer to the ground Just for now just for two It's all I have all I've got I've run out of lines Just for now just for twoLyrics:
When stars are falling It's nothing new Just keep on going I've got them too Wicked miles Sinking boats We keep fighting We fight them both Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on me When doors are open Not for you You keep hoping To get that tune With same stories Single notes We will cry them Cry them both Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on meLyrics:
Remember how We used to jump the shades Such a joy In the gravity play Yes I know It may sound the same But each of one Is different face On the mountain top Cause you know the place Ill meet you up But we can rearrange Yes I know It may sound the same But each of one Is different face Lights out may help Cause lights out are the best With youLyrics:
Oh Rudy in your eyes Oh Rudy in your heart Oh Rudy in you mind Stay always on my side And if I go Roll one for me Cigarettes you used to smoke Hope you will quit And if I die Bury me so deep under all our lies Hope you will quit Oh Rudy talk to me With your fluent Japanese Oh Rudy in your mind Stay always on my side And if I go Roll one for me Cigarettes you used to smoke Hope you will quit And if I die Bury me so deep under all our lies Hope you will quitLyrics:
On the street turn to someone who would take you away Stop shake stop break little bit yourself Let's dance Let's dance Clever Lady show me how you move your legs Let me feel like it's summer all over again Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance Shake like you want break, fake like you need Let me be your temporary machine Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance Dance... Let's danceLyrics:
Nobody wants cause nobody cares Which way should we go And who goes first Can you hear Can you hear questions Grow in me Can you feel Can you feel the breeze Blows on me Nobody knows cause nobody cares Too many hours go to waste Can you hear questions Grow in me Can you feel Can you feel the breeze Blows on meLyrics:
Broke my bones Hurt myself Damn I'm bleeding now In different ways I've tried to walk Walk away But my soul Runs my brain I guess I'll move to the west I guess I'll move to the west In the city There's a place Where I keep Our old good days I guess I'll move to the west I guess I'll move to the west
