“Rudy” Official Music Video

“Rudy” and three other singles from upcoming album called “Closet Leftovers” are now available to listen and download on all major stores!! –> http://hyperurl.co/RudySingle

“Rudy” was written about 6 years ago and was inspired by a girl I met once. I had chords and a melody written beforehand and the words came quickly to me. This girl had shown me how she rolls her cigarettes, which was inspiration for the lyrics “And if I go ; Roll one for me; Cigarettes you used to smoke; Hope you will quit”. Although some of the lyrics were based on real scenarios, the whole idea of the song is more of an imagination. I took some of the details of this brief non-intimate meeting and created a story. –> Press Release

Lyrics:

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 quit

Fourth and final single “Lights Out”

Over the course of the year, singer-songwriter Tender Glue has released 3 singles leading up to the “Closet Leftovers” album release and is now set to release the fourth and final single “Lights Out” on Friday 1st June. —-> http://smarturl.it/LightsOut-Single

During the writing process of this last single “Lights Out”, Tom explains how he was strumming the same unusual chords pattern that he had already used for 2 other songs. He then started singing, “Yes I know, it may sound the same, but each of one is different face”, as he realized the song had the same sound but was written at a different time. This single, as Tom describes, ended up being about a recollection of past days and experiencing life together until our lights go out. Along with his other songs, this track was recorded in the closet of Tom’s studio apartment, concluding the last of the four singles released from the album. Press Release

Lyrics:

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
I’ll 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 you

Tender Glue List-Stings

Reposted from The Wild Honey Pie written by Lauren Mckinney

Tender Glue is a brilliant clash of twang, grit and pop, delivering as many dirty guitar lines and perfectly sparse moments as clever vocals and catchy melodies. To celebrate the recent release of Steady Light, Tender Glue’s debut album, we asked for a playlist of songs that helped to define the record’s sound. Enjoy below, and be sure to check out Steady Light above!
