Tender Glue – Sonder Life


Sonder Life is an introspective track inspired by discovering the meaning of the word “sonder” – the realization that everyone carries their own inner world and quiet struggles. Over the past decade, this awareness has become a recurring feeling for me, bringing a sense of nostalgia that’s hard to place. The song reflects on feeling nostalgic not just for the past, but for lives already lived and lives yet to come. With a reflective tone and emotional simplicity, the track captures the weight of perspective, empathy, and quiet acceptance.

Tender Glue “Time Machine (Live from the Flat)”

10 years ago today, on September 25th, 2015, I released my first EP. To mark the moment, I’ve put together something called Time Machine (Live from the Flat). It’s a live version of songs from every album I’ve made over the past decade, revisited and re-recorded in a new way. Available everywhere – https://fanlink.tv/TimeMachineAlbum

Tender Glue – Both (Time Machine)

A new version of an old one from the upcoming live album, set to be released on September 25th.

”Both” is a comforting reminder that even when we feel alone, we’re not. It’s about shared struggles, the storms we fight, and the tears we cry together. Through the refrain “Just lean on me,” I wanted to offer quiet strength, empathy, and the reassurance that we’re never truly alone in what we’re going through.

Lyrics:

When stars are falling

It’s nothing new

Just keep on going

I’ve got them too

Wicked miles 

Sinking boats

We will fight them

Fight them both

Just lean on me

Just lean on me

Just lean on me

Just lean on

When doors are open

Not for you

You keep hoping 

To get that tune

With the same story

Single notes 

We will cry them

Cry them both

Just lean on me

Just lean on me

Just lean on me

Just lean on

Czuły Klej – Hej Julia

“Hej Julia” was my attempt at writing a Polish version of my English song “Rudy.” I started with the same chord progression, and the lyrics and melodies just came to me quickly. At first, I was singing “Hej Julia” with the Polish pronunciation, but then I started debating with myself whether I should pronounce Julia the English way instead.

That made me think of the song Jenny by Edyta Bartosiewicz, where she sings the name with the English pronunciation. That became a kind of image to this song.

“Hej Julia” is a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship, offering a heartfelt goodbye and a wish for someone to find the carefree, colorful life they were searching for.
