Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.
Respect the structure
Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.
Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)
Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.
Don’t mix versions
If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.
Let the lyrics be lyrics
This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.
Edit lightly
If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’
When in doubt, ask the crowd
Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
this is one of my favorites too. definately one of the best on the whole album. it's very dark and ominous, then all of a sudden it gets loud and the singer just starts yelling. i love it. this song was beautifully writen.
the semi official title is "the death song" so im guessing its about death. this song is incredibley powerful. Its not quite my favourite off ( ) though. Amazing stuff.
I've pictured the last half of the album as someone walking through a forest looking for a girl, finding his village ruined, he then walks through the village hoping to see the girl among the dead people, and he does.
Now he wakes up, with the sunrise and looks over the ruined village. He talks to her, but doesn't get an answer, he gets terrified after a bit over 4 minutes, but then she answers him, although it is not happy words, she is dying, and suddenly stops speaking. The boy screams her name, and gets into a state of denial, until he realizes that she really is dead. He thinks over everything they've done. After ten minutes, the sadness overflows him, and he repeatedly screams her name. The track ends with him crying silently besides her.
one of the first songs i've listened to from Sigur, 6:40 has made such a great impression on me. its indescribable. loved Sigur ever since. I hope my taste in music will never change and I will always be able to have these music experiences...
btw,
I've never listened to any of my music while under the effects off weed. what does it do with the music? even greater?
