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.
The instrumental part between 'Another Brick In The Wall, part three' and 'Goodbey Cruel World' has on some bootleg live-recordings been named: 'Almost Gone'.
The Bootleg albums is called: 'Kabe' and 'A Little Black Book With My Poems In'. Both albums contains an illegal recording of 'The Wall' concert in Los Angeles February 8, 1980.
Almost gone features on the live version of the Wall: Is There Anybody Out There - but is retitled to 'The Last Few Bricks'.
I would absolutly love to hear this. Im a huge fan of The Wall and I definatly think its one of Floyds Best albums.
@inpraiseoffolly In my opinion, not quite. Almost. But I absolutely love Ummagumma, and it is definitely one of their best imo.
I think The Wall is their second best, with The Final Cut as top spot.
