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 only thing that I can add is that Mike Mills is an American video producer, and created the "All I Need" music video with Air. How (or if) the song actually relates to him is anyone's guess..
The song has three sections. The 4/4 first section has a very plain synth sound play the wandering "theme" of 16th notes. This is pleasant enough, but it's rudely interrupted by a piano, also playing 16th notes but over a 9/8 time in an insistent, repeating pattern. The listener struggles to resolve what has happened, partly because some percussive sounds haven't changed since the opening, echoing the 4/4 section. The song "recovers" in the third section, as the piano is suddenly gone, and now the original synthy+guitar background is back. Soon enough strings enter and hint at the start of the song. The strings take a little time to graduate to 16th notes, but when they do, they are playing the original wandering theme. The plain vanilla analog synth that started the theme has been replaced by organic, human orchestration, and it's remarkable and beautiful.
This song is a beautiful morning, interrupted by a rude thunderstorm, returning slowly to beams of sun until the full glory of the day is with us.
