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.
One hell of a beautifully ghostly track, think this song is kinda obvious its about the death of a relative in the family in this case Polly's grandmother and missing them and having them there to talk to in time of wise words and advice. great song. Simple but powerful. As our many of the other songs on this new album.

Polly spent a lot of time with her grandmother just before her death. IIRC, it was an iTunes Exclusive interview that had this tidbit of information.
This whole album just blows me away. It's one of the most ghostly, spooky albums I've heard in a long time.
So beautiful, such concrete imagery like lying on the grave and yet so childish and innocent. This song makes me choke up every time I hear it.
