“Ostatni Śnieg” was the latest song written for the new album but the first – and quickest – to be produced. I made the decision to share the song while working on the other tracks and with the end of the winter season upon us, it seemed like the perfect time to share it. It’s a silly tune in the perspective of a person asking his/her vacation fling to stay longer and eventually, the whole year. Since winter is ending soon the song becomes this sort of loop that turns a fling into love.
“Rozumiem Wiem” is the first and only Polish song I ever wrote about 15 years ago. This song will be part of a new project I’ve created called Recycled Tracks. Recycled Tracks is music released in form of single where artist/band donate one of the songs for a cause of they choice. %100 of royalties and download profit will be donated every year. https://fanlink.tv/RozumiemWiem
It has been a while but it’s finally here. New album is out! “Not so Very Nice” is mostly an accumulation of meaner songs that I wrote in different perriots of my life. I wanted this album to represent the blue collar and hard working people, punch in – punch out kind of struggle.
“Sad Sometimes” starts off with a negative tone of dark thoughts and the pointlessness of everything, but quickly resolves with a slower, more positive ending. The second part of the song gradually emerges into a more comforting feeling that even though there are times when nothing makes sense, there are still many important little things that lift my spirit and happiness that I want to concentrate on more often.
Sometimes I wanna kill myself But someday I’m gonna die anyway So why wouldn’t I just stay for a while
What the point of this When nothing gonna be mine What they screaming for For me it’s only big lie And then you showed me love For us to just simply die
I’m just waiting on Line
So I think to get comfort Of the little things passing by They can often bite your own soul But at the end you’ll be fine
So I think to get comfort Of the little things passing by They can often bite your own soul But at the end you’ll be fine
This one is kind of funny take on immaturity of some man – not in a derogatory way. At the end of the day, all we ever need is love, even “Simple Boys”.
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”.
I’ve said it before about previous album, and I’ll say it again: “Closet Leftovers” may not be perfect and polished but it came from the place where no one can put down.

“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

“I had this idea of me standing in the hallway of my apartment and doing slow motion video combined with one of those instagram face filters. I sped up the song and sang along with the sped up version, so I can slow it down later on. As for the Instagram star filter, I recorded the sped up version of it on a monitor screen. After that, I combined the two videos and connected the instagram clips since you are only allowed to film 15 second. At the end, the blood symbolizes the shots that were shooting at me every time the crash cymbal was hit.”

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
