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 song and its chord progression is Trent's theme song for his grandmother (read my comment on The Day the World Went Away). It represents her beauty and vulnerability. The melody is repeated by the lead guitar at the end of track 6, The Fragile. You'll have to listen to the two a couple of times, but after you get it once, it's very obvious. This song leads nicely into The Wretched...
Great piano here. I love a little over half way through when there is a brief break and then he plays some very low keys. It sounds dark and I love it. Perfect lead in to The Wretched.
I absolutely love the Benneli version of this song (violin). It has that 'tingle down the spine' quality, though I don't much care for the electronic cacophony of sounds towards the end. It spoils such a purely melancholy piece.
one of trents greatest instrumentals ever, if only it was longer...no, its perfect the way it is. elements of this song are featured in the fragile, any version. the best version of the fragile to hear the frail in it, is on the 'still' version. around mid-song, its easy to hear.

This album seems to get pushed to the side by the mainstream, which is really a shame.
This should be ranked beside Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

I never saw this song as anything more than the intro to The Wretched...
Is it actually a different song all together that just leads/blends into The Wretched?
You Know, whwn I close my eyes, while listening to this song, images of something being created comes to my head.
Something artificial,lonely and sad.
If not, I would say that this is absolutely a beautiful song!

I absolutely adore this song, even though it is just instrumental. Everytime I hear it I just melt, it is so beautiful.
