New album “Smutne Usterki o Miłości” is out now

This album was a surprise for me. I never thought I could write in Polish, but after releasing “Rozumiem Wiem,” I gave myself a challenge: to write eight more songs and release a full Polish album, which I completed in just two weeks.

Every day before noon, I would go outside, close my eyes, and face the sun in a kind of meditation. Then I’d come back in and try to write. I read somewhere that sunlight like this can boost creativity and maybe it did.

This approach was new to me. I used to only write when inspiration struck out of nowhere, but this process taught me that you can actually invite the spark in. You can create space for it to show up.

“Smutne Usterki o Miłości” is that album. A collection of quiet, broken pieces about love and all the beautiful flaws that come with it.

Czuły Klej – Symuluj Jeszcze Raz

“Symuluj Jeszcze Raz” is my favorite song from the album, not just because it’s the only one that isn’t a silly love song, but because it holds a much deeper connection for me, both in how it was created and what it’s about. Originally, it was meant to be a completely different track for the Tender Glue project. One day, I started playing bass over it, even though the bass line wasn’t in the same key. That unexpected moment pushed me to rework everything, and over time, it turned into this haunting, atmospheric sound. I ended up freestyling the vocals in a single take. The lyrics were inspired by an experience I had after accidentally taking too much of an edible. It made me question reality in a very real way, like maybe this life is actually a simulation. But that’s a story for another time.

Czuły Klej – Jedna Na Milion

“Jedna na Milion” is about looking for that rare, one in a million connection – the kind of love that feels almost impossible, like winning the lottery. The verses reflect vulnerability paired with quiet determination, set against a dreamy scenario like being her cowboy on the prairie. It’s a song about holding on to hope, even when the picture fades, because somewhere out there, that one in a million is still waiting.

Czuły Klej – To Ja i My

Written from the perspective of someone standing at the edge of emotional exhaustion, the song explores vulnerability – asking, “How do you tell someone it’s over when you’re still holding on?” The repetition of “To ja i my – stracone dni” (“It’s me and us – the lost days”) underscores the shared moments that are now nothing more than memories. It’s a song about emotional distance, regret, and ultimately, the faint hope that maybe one day things could still get better, even if it means letting go.

Czuły Klej – Bo Ja Tobie Wierzę

Bo Ja Tobie Wierzę” was the first song I wrote when I decided I was going to make a Polish album. It surprised me how easily the words flowed through me, considering it was not in English. The song represents discouragement and struggle in finding the one and only person for you but at the same time gives hope that there’s someone for each of us. Perhaps it just takes trust in one another that we are sometimes lacking in. Available on all platforms —> https://fanlink.tv/BJTW

“My Sweetest Tone”

New single “My Sweetest Tone” out now! 👉https://fanlink.tv/MST

About the song:

As an uneducated immigrant who came to this country with no money or knowledge of English in my teenage years, the US quickly showed me where my place is. The verses represent this sort of way of being mistreated and the chorus describes that no matter what life throws at me, I’ll always stand my ground and “carry on with my sweetest tone”.

“About two years ago, I moved from Brooklyn to Manhattan, after getting an opportunity to live in affordable housing. When I saw the studio apartment that I got, there was this closet that I immediately envisioned making a little recording studio, which was actually a bad idea, but I was too stubborn to change it since I already decided the album name was going to be called “Closet Leftovers”. Before I even started recording, I already made an album cover which is a picture of a little chair that I screwed into my wall and put my red hat in a doggie bag on top of the chair. I also put white duct tape with the name of the album and Tender Glue, which ended up invisible since I manipulated the picture with exposure afterwards. But if you look closely, you can still see it. It took almost the whole day to take that picture. So now about the recording and why it was a bad idea: Not only can you hear the high pitch static noise and interference in the monitors, you could also hear everything going on including the dishwasher or cell phones. I had to sit on the floor with the mic close to the ground to record vocals because it was the only place that the mic wouldn’t pick up those noises, which I later realized was caused by the electric panel and all the wires that were next to the closet. I tried different options to eliminate the noise but nothing worked.
Sometimes it could get claustrophobic and the lack of air didn’t help either, but my vision for the album kept me going.” – Tom Gluewicki

Lyrics:

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 Tennessee
