Editing Tips
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 is Helen's song, not Barbra's or Jordan's or any woman who follows. Helen made it an anthem of the 70's at a time when one was needed. Over 50% of women living in poverty (often with children) were displaced homemakers. It wasn't until 1972 that a woman could get credit on her own. We may have gone to the extreme in the form of not appreciating the lives of innocent growing children and some may have sacrificed older children for extreme careers, but the movement WAS needed at the time. And today I celebrate this sense of freedom and accomplishment after having just installed my VERY FIRST new toilet seat! It sounds like nothin' (don't hate....appreciate), but when it's a first it's always special and important. (But now I do know that y'all men need to be assigned more work; you've been skatin'!!!) LOL. (...always a bad sign when one laughs at herself:) Helen's song ROCKS!
