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.
@MrTambourineMan Exactly! The Black Mountains are located in Northeastern Mordor, between Dagorlad and Udún. This song is about the side of one of them. Unfortunately for us, the lyrics are beyond the hearing threshold of mere humans and, in any case, are sung in the language known as The Black Speech.

barely anyone knows this really, but i got a cd on the roots of led zeppelin with a copy of MOJO. on this album was a lot of led zeppelin songs sung by the people that wrote the songs. among this was a song called "blackwater side" by bert jansch, it has the same melody, only it has words. in my time of dying was on that cd too.
I have to agree with lilfin, it is based around a Bert Jansch song. It comes from the sitar-like D-modal tuning (DADGAD) which Jimmy uses of a few yardbirds & zep songs, White Summer (Yardbirds 'Little Games', 1967), Midnight Moonlight (Zep left-over later called Swan Song) and most famously Kashmir. He was taught the tuning in 1966 by Al Stewart who taught him to play the Jansch song Black Waterside which it bears definite similarities to. I love this song.
I guess some people's whole knowledge of Zeppelin is based on the DVD. That's kinda sad but it's not a crime to be young. The song is Black Mountain Side. Page attached White Summer to it in live performances. I like the White Summer part a lot.
Just because the chorus of Your Time Is Gonna Come cross-edits with it doesn't mean this song has lyrics... (eyes rolling).
It's an awesome instrumental btw.
haha...I am trying to learn more about Led Zep... thats why I like this sight...:P...this song is really cool cause I really like how you if you only listen to led Zep you can still have such a VARIETY of music!! anywy..Led Zeps instrumentals are so cool because you get a chance to hear the amazing Jimmy and also you get a chance to think...something ppl should try more
