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.
even though there are no words to this song. its completely amazing. just like a heavy haerted work of a staggering genius. or soemthignlike that. i love their instrumental stuff just as much as their stff with stephen christian singing. oh jeez.
Well, Godspeed is like, maybe the best song on the cd and to have this lead into it is amazing. I love the "London sounding" sirens and the little bit of acoustic towards the end, and then how it shifts into Godspeed.....Excellent!
It's somewhat better than Heavy Hearted Work of A Staggering Genius. You cannot get the full effect of Godspeed without listening to this immediately before.
I like this intro to the album "Cities." It's like a preview of the music to come! It definitely gets you pumped and ready for Godspeed and the tracks after.
