Rec & Play Lyrics

Feeling like a tape recorder
Stuck between rewind and forward
Always going two directions
One's ahead and the second is backwards

Please press my rec and play
Because I want to save this moment
This will be my favorite song
This will be my favorite album

I will throw my tapes away because
This will be the one worth saving
Push the faders, break the meters
Rolling, rolling, time to get going

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 definitely about how you get to a great moment in life and you just want to relive that moment over and over. So how else would you do that other than being a tape recorder and recording that moment so you can replay it over and over. Genius! I love this song!
