Stay Tuned Lyrics

In-between lost in noise
Somewhere, somewhere
In-between got no choice
But to be here
Somewhere, somewhere

If you can hear me
If you're still there
Stay tuned
There is more to come
Oh don't start searching
I'll get back to you

Riding waves trying to reach
Somewhere, somewhere
Cannot share this moment with you
I'm particles in the air
You can’t see me
But I'm here

So if you can hear me
If you're still there
Stay tuned
There is more to come
Oh don't stop searching
Stay tuned
There is more to come
Oh don't stop searching
I’ll get back to you
I'll get back to you
I'll get back to you

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 intoxicating

it makes me think of someone that died that is trying to get back to his loved one through the waves of the radio

The thing about being particles in the air and staying tuned obviously make it seem to be about contacting someone over the radio. It seems to be contacting someone who doesn't know they're being contacted. Oddly enough, I got the sense of trying to reach someone who had died, but seeing the lyrics, I can't see any such reference.

Another couple of comments about the song: it was written by Norwegian singer Anja Garbarek. It is also noted on a popular internet encyclopaedia that Mr. Radiohead said that he really liked it, but couldn't listen to the rest of the album because this song is so beautiful. If he really liked it, surely he would have listened on and found that the rest of the album is great as well. It makes his comment appear more than just a little disingenuous.
