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 my favorite of Sufjan's instrumentals.
The piano is pretty and calming. The background noises give a sort of nostalgic or remnicent feeling to it...
it is similar to some i've heard too.
Very similar to the song at the end of "The Truman Show" when Truman is sailing away on the boat. Mozart also did a sonata tat sounded similar.

This song is wild, the fact there are no lyrics makes it all the better. The piano is intense and entirely emotional. Top of my all time list
painfully beautiful

Does anyone else recognize the song he's playing? I know I've heard it before. I know it. But I can't name it. . . .

But this is of Sufjan's own mind.
something about this song makes me cry. it's so beautiful.
this song sinks hooks into my heart like nothing else.
i listened to it for hours on repeat last night just trying to see why.
