Haiku Reviews

Not every song needs an essay.

Some arrive, linger, and leave an impression you can’t quite explain. These haikus are snapshots of that feeling, capturing the essence of a track in seventeen syllables. Submit a track.

Soraia – “La Belgique

Sneering through the verse
guitar screams with angel wings
a mother shines through


St. Catherine's Child – “Fly Me to the Moon

Moonlit vocals drift
old romance dressed in new clothes
timeless beauty stays


Kook Joey – “Puppy Love

Vintage colors glow
memory bends into dreams
love blurs at the edge


Night Talks – “People Pleaser

Funky bass hits hard
earworm chorus won’t let go
we keep replaying


Sasha & the Bear – “Serial Pleaser

Hypnotic pulse loops
addicted to feeling good
never satisfied


Russell Jamie Johnson – “Belle of Brighton

Bare guitar, slow air
we speak like it’s already over
learning to let go


Croissant - “Next October

Bright synths bloom in loops
October waits in the wings
smiling through the ache


Moxy The Band – “The Feeling of Letting Go

Synth waves pull me back
forgotten childhood echoes
shine through neon haze


meelu - “candlelight

Grief learns how to dance
candlelight against the dark
nothing stands still here


Baby Fuzz - “Coyote

Truck miles fade to song
slide guitar hums like a ghost
coyote howls on


Kid Tigrrr - “Astroautomata

Soft echoes drift wide
breath and light mend quiet wounds
stars hum healing slow


Justin Sconza - “Native Birds of Guam

Neon nights ignite
lost birds echo through the noise
hooks refuse to fade


Alela Diane - “Dusty Roses

Soft strings trace the past
dusty roses drift through rain
lost light still lingers


Devlin & The Harm - “No Havana

Grit hums through the wire
raw voices crash then rise again
dust and embers burn
