The Crime Of The Century Podcast

screen softly glows your picture cups evening gold same quiet hue as the hush i keep folded my phone, small pond reflects your face like shy moon I ask how you're holding the hours inside you truth leaks out slow you confessed, “i take you for granted” your words fall like a cracked sparrow we both watch it try to fly melody gift i hear you humming through wires guilt tiptoes in like socks on a cr...

desoto purrs soft as a shy cat stretching risotto warm steams tiny windows of night radio glow wraps the dash in honey light engine heartbeats a lullaby learned by rote road unbuttons wide as a yawn after naps secrets scatter like dandelion wishes i breathe them in they taste of maybe and soon horizon folds the distance into pockets fridge note flutters back home without my fingers ink still damp...

neon hums loud   silver lake’s pretend stars blink   camera clicks   painted smile cracks at the seam   mama whispers   from tokyo through tiny wires   “kyoto waits”   i cradle the word like tea   they call me mad   to drop a glittering name   city cages   velvet ropes tighten like vines   i pack hush up   a notebook, one cotton dream   midwest sky yawns   wide enough to swallow doubt   dusty road...

[Verse 1] We're the floss pick generation, And we're coming to your town, We're finding floss picks everywhere, We even find them on the ground. [Verse 2] By a fence post, in the weeds, Sown by careless, flossing deeds, A tiny hook, a string so bright, A public health and litter sight. (Chorus) From the sidewalk to the street, In the gutter, at our feet, We're the Friends of Floss Picks, on the hu...

hummingbird hush soft feathers fade to dusk light little voice turns accent slips through quiet sky thoughts i gathered start to melt like sugar snow they twist, they spin finding gentle new refrains raindrop whispers tap the glass and slip away who i once was loosens like a ribbon bow night folds me slow a shy new self waves hello moonlight tiptoes peeks inside my open palm pebble of breath smoot...

It’s going to fail, I’m sure it will. Each time I try to hide, my eyes stretch out and watch me. I’ll proclaim it loud and clear. [Chorus] It’s going to fail, I’m sure it will. If tomorrow and the future were to vanish, I’d still proclaim it loud and clear. It’s going to fail, I’m sure it will. A sigh escapes at the bitter sorrow. [Chorus] It’s going to fail, I’m sure it will. If tomorrow and the...

sunlight tumbles tiny puddles on the rug coffee sighs cool i trace the quiet lines again my heart hums shy a note that won’t quite land hello morning whispered just for me to hold not in a shrine but here beneath the window cars rush past dreams all my lost things float away yet a small seed of calm keeps breathing gentle hello moment i smile it soft like petals and watch it glow wren on the sill...

**1. Streetlights & Stillness** *(Verse 1)* Streetlights yawn softly, World hushed under woolen dark— Blankets on the floor. Children in untold stories, Fridge hums a lullaby tune. **2. Silver Thread (Chorus)** *(Chorus)* Moonlight scissors through The blinds’ thin fabric—sudden, Cold and bright and sharp. Let’s dance until our soles burn, Pavement tasting our dreams. **3. Café & Ghosts** *(Verse...

Slop declares independence from the stylistic constraints of deathcore The tide of change washes over the old guard A new sound born, a different path, a new discard Old roots forgotten, or just overgrown? The deathcore seed from which we've grown Chorus No longer slaves to the slam and the breakdown A new melody rings throughout the town We're breaking free from the old constraints A new directio...

The leaves outside my window don’t whisper anymore, Just static in the evening, a hum behind the door.  I used to hear them singing when the world felt too wide,  Now it’s just the radiator keeping time inside.   Funny how the silence grows teeth when you’re alone, Gnawing on the edges of the love you used to own Every face a rerun, every touch a trace— When did all the colors start to fade to gra...

The Fourth of July in the Time of Trump by Matt Love

Feijoada joy, Caipirinha's happy sip, Samba starts to sway. City sings, soft rain begins, A gentle tune, thin and sweet. São Paulo, my love, And dear Rio, sunlit bright. Beach waves whisper low, Quiet secrets of the sea, As the morning light appears. Travel fills my heart, Party lights, a happy dance. Downtown, I will go, New stories in windows old, Dusty, waiting to be found Warm coffee, sweet si...

Tiny fingers dance, Softly, on the smooth white keys, Notes begin to bloom. All the chords, like gentle friends, Singing sweet, as one we are. Little notes whisper, Each one finds its special place, In our happy song. Just like us, so soft and kind, Everyone belongs right here. Sparkly sounds twinkle, A quiet, pretty music, Blooming in my heart. All the people, sweet and small, Fit so nicely, just...

Rhythms of the Tropics by Matt Love

Variations on a handpan theme in Dm by Icey Planet by Matt Love

[Verse 1] Green hills rise so high, My old town now far away, Tears I cannot hide [Verse 2] Old house, wooden walls, Whispers soft, I don't know, Where my comfort calls. [Verse 3] Dad smiles at the trees, Mom hums a happy new tune, Just the rustling breeze. [Verse 4} Miso used to purr, Close beside me on the bed, Now he doesn't stir. [Verse 5] He explores outside, New scents and paths call his nam...

Forms drift in and out, Like the ocean's gentle sighs. Wanting to look nice, Then just wanting fluffy toys, Finding calm and who I am. Don't want to compete, No old hurts, no heavy feat. Time can feel so tight, But just now is shining bright, Learning much and asking friends. People help us grow, Always kind, you know it's so. When I listen close, Honest hearts just understand. Sadness disappears,...

Woke with a yawn, then a little stretch Thought about my day, not a single catch So much buzzing in my head, like a little bee Wish I could just chill, under a cozy tree Grabbed a few small things, maybe my favorite pen Took a long warm shower, watched the water descend Looked in the mirror, felt a little clearer, you know? Like a soft melody, playing down below Was humming a tune, something sweet...

Myriad forms appear, Like soft waves upon the blue. Chasing pretty things, Then just wanting to relax, Breathing deep, just being me. No need for the game, No sad past, no heavy name. Time, a little cage, But right now is all there is, Learning life, and asking help. Friends are oh so dear, Always there to lend an ear. Listening hearts meet, No hard words, just gentle truth. This sad feeling fades...

A captured moment, Wildflowers blooming all around, A vision I see. Words then whispered in my soul, Of feelings making me whole. A message then sent, I love it, beauty so clear. A tender soft plea, What feelings rise in your heart, From this wildflower work of art? This image held fast, Wild blooms paint a vibrant scene, My feelings take flight. The music drifts, a soft hue, Chasing shadows, fres...

If the plum blossoms could only stay unchanged, how gladly I’d forget the drifting world’s sorrows— For every moment without you near, but the spring wind always blows. In the meadow where young herbs sprout, I pluck them with you— if only time could stop, and this moment last forever. My heart feels light, my spirit free, Just being close, my sweet with thee Watching the moon,I suddenly feel— as...

[Verse 1] Shadows hold your form, Like soft rain, my heart blooms high, Love's sweet, gentle fall. [Verse 2] Voice, a pretty song, Lost within your sweet music, Forever I'll stay. [chorus] I see you in the shadows, you're like a waterfall With every drop of rain, you make my heart swell tall Your voice is a symphony, and I'm caught in the spell I'm lost in your melody, forever and well. [Verse 3]...

(Verse 1) Porch swing sighs softly, constellations trace our dreams— wonder in your eyes. (Verse 2) Moonlit diamonds glow, your words paint my soul awake— wishes bloom like stars. (Verse 3) Hands touch in the dark, a spark ignites without words— universe in us. (Verse 4) Beyond velvet skies, my heart always returns to your fierce, tender light. (Verse 5) Starlight hits the ground, your touch still...
