MIBL Tanin
Help us improve — tell us if something looked or worked wrong.
Also reads as 46 or 185 BPM — tempo doubling is normal and both are correct.
They tell me to laugh — the world only lasts two days. But my calendar is black
My whole share of gladness is one smile that came out wrong
We are the generation of unripe grief, out of the cold season of the Iranian sixties
where our laughter was our crime, and the doors were shut on everything we wanted
I love joy, but nobody ever taught me the way to it
In the schools of silence they fed me sorrow by the spoonful
I grew up with my sorrows — my oldest playmate
Joy was a distant neighbour, in the alleys of my having no one
In the book of life, the homework of happiness had been crossed out
as if the seed of wanting had died before it ever sprouted
We wrote our homework in weeping, with pens that had no ink
in a society where joy was the great sin of mankind
I love joy, but nobody ever taught me the way to it
In the schools of silence they fed me sorrow by the spoonful
I grew up with my sorrows — my oldest playmate
Joy was a distant neighbour, in the alleys of my having no one
Now they ask me how I am. I am the way my stories are
a volcano gone quiet, waiting for one sound to come out of me
Don't ask me for a manufactured laugh, don't ask me to put on a mask
I am the truest sorrow there is — let me say what I have to say
I love joy, but nobody ever taught me the way to it
In the schools of silence they fed me sorrow by the spoonful
I grew up with my sorrows — my oldest playmate
Joy was a distant neighbour, in the alleys of my having no one
Sorrow is with me...
like breath...
And where is joy?...
out there, beyond the bars...
One subscription, whichever crown — and on each of them the station alone costs exactly what the whole subscription costs. Everything else comes with it: {cap} of AI tools every month, no platform fee on reader support and publishing without a ceiling.
NOVA is more than a play button: a 24-hour live station, a full library, lyrics that move with the music, cinema mode, and a few tools that shape the sound the way you like it. Everything it can do is on this page.
All of NOVA is four areas. Hover an entry to light up where it lives.
Everywhere you can go starts here: the live radio, the library, mood stations, your favourites and playlists. Further down are the ways back to the rest of the site — and every one of them opens in a new tab, so whatever you are listening to keeps playing.
Whatever you pick in the sidebar opens here: the big cover, the main controls, and below them your For You picks, what is trending, and the top tracks.
What is coming next, and what just played. On the live waves, Up Next comes from the studio itself; on a library queue it is your own list, and you can drag the rows into a different order.
Always at the bottom, and it never leaves: play and pause, previous and next, shuffle, repeat, volume, sleep timer, equaliser, cinema and lyrics.
On a live wave it replaces the time bar: the ON AIR mark, how far the song on air has got, and how much of it is left. A broadcast cannot be scrubbed, and this bar does not pretend otherwise.
Every card is a real thing the player does — the ones with a button do it right here.
One vocal wave and one instrumental wave. Switch between them with a tap and the sound keeps running. Beside them are the member stations: any member can run a station of their own.
Full-screen cover, the album's own moving backdrop, and the lyrics over the picture. Press F, or double-tap the little cover in the player bar.
Open them with the 💬 button on the player bar: the words move line by line with the voice — over the artwork, or on a page of their own. The translate button shows the same lines in your language, and a song that has no lyrics yet says so plainly.
Focus, sleep, energy, nostalgia… pick one and NOVA builds a mix from the library on the spot.
Three bands — bass, mid, treble — with a few ready-made settings. The sleep timer runs from a quarter of an hour to an hour and a half, then quietly stops the music.
Any song you love can be yours to keep. The price is written on the button itself and comes out of your wallet — no subscription, nothing monthly.
Record a short message — a hello, a memory, or a song you would like to hear — and once the studio approves it, Kian or Rojan take it on air. The Message the Studio page lives outside NOVA and opens in a new tab so your music keeps playing; if all you want is the song, the 🎙 button beside the live cover does the same errand.
The same broadcast with another face: a 3D radio with a tuning dial that opens right over this page.
Analogue radioThese work any time the cursor is not inside a text box.
Because it is a stream, not a file — it is going out from the studio right now, and its past is not on your computer. If you caught a song halfway, find it in Recently Played and hear it whole from the library, where the time bar does work.
It means the sliders cannot reach that sound. The equaliser works on library tracks; some live streams arrive by a route the browser will not let us touch. Nothing is broken — the button is simply being honest about what it can do.
Lyrics are added one song at a time and timed by hand, so each line lands exactly on its own moment. A song without them has not had its turn yet — it has not been forgotten.
Because every link that leads out of NOVA opens in a new tab. There is one rule here: no button in NOVA may cut your music off mid-song.
Yes — the live radio is open to everyone. Saving songs, building playlists and skipping as often as you like belong to members, and joining is free.
If you would like to see the short welcome tour again, it opens from here.
