Hard Drive Lyrics

This is the town I'm living in
This the street I'm walking down
These are the friends I'm visiting
These are the clothes I'm wearing now
This is the house I'm building here
This is the girl I'm marrying
This is the chord I'm strumming now
This is the faith I'm leaning on
This is the child I'm bearing now
This is the love that I've always had
This is the face I make when I'm sad
This is the town I'm living in

This is the hard drive
This is the ocean
Have you ever felt yourself in motion?
Have you ever felt yourself in motion?

These are the feet I'm standing on
These are the hands that built a world
This is the bed I'm sleeping in
This is the shirt I'm buttoning
This is the pace I'm moving at
This is the tune I'm humming now
This is the road I'm walking down
These are the lips that form my words
This is the stone that I wanna turn
These are the people that I love
These are the eyes that look up above
This is the town I'm living in

This is the hard drive
This is the ocean
Have you ever felt yourself in motion?
Have you ever felt yourself in motion?

Ballad Of El Goodo

This is the hard drive
This is the ocean
Have you ever felt yourself in motion?
Have you ever felt yourself in motion?

Keep it true to the song

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 is about beauty of simple life, it can seems boring, but it is not, simple, little things make this life.

I love this song. I think simple little songs like this are very brave. They have the courage to do without all the distracting stuff.

This song is a collection of somewhat random things that almost everyone has experienced. We all experience feelings about common life experiences that others would consider simple. The chorus is one that you can't help but sing along with.
