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 can be interpreted as just the song by this name, or the entire album. I will focus on the album rather than submit lyrics for the rest of the songs on this album.
This is my favorite Kitaro album, by far. The music and flow are both excellent. I won't claim to know what it is about, but it definitely adds meaning listened to as one extended song rather than eight (or however many there are) shorter songs.
Highlights:
Mandala
Scope
Chant From the Heart
Wind of Youth
Kokoro (perhaps my favorite Kitaro song).
I also liked Dance of the Sarasvati, but not nearly as much as the above five. Crystal Tears and Planet seem like filler, which is why this album needs to be listened to straight through. This gives them purpose, which they don't have on their own.
I think that the only improvement to this album would be to add Water of Mystery (another long Kitaro piece), which is slightly in the same vein as this song.
I guess that I interpret this album as being about the follies of religion, and acting based solely on religion, but that is probably because I wrote a poem using the image of crystal tears to this purpose.
