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.
I think it's pretty awesome because this cd being about life brings us to this beginning of birth, a life of technicolor. Nothing needs to be said like a new born baby into the world. Life has just begun and all around you is new and different. Then at the end death, little needs to be said because all is done.
It's gorgeous, this song. So simple but so complex. They leave room for individual interpretation here. It is and will be what it is to you.
I love it. It makes me feel free.
a gorgeous song. I hadn't noticed at first because of the bonus songs always coming last when i listen to it, but this leads into the album the same way that "Death and All Of His Friends" lead out of it, like the beginning and end of the dream.
apparently this song originally had words, and critics started to hail it as the next single. Martin and the others then decided just to screw with them and remove the vocal track. i've also heard they will release a vocal version eventually.
This song is so beautiful, it makes me feel so happy, and it makes me think about my life and all the good times I've had. My only problem with it is that it could be longer.
To me, when listening to this piece it just makes me feel . .
Happy
Hopeful
Inspired
Daring
Courageous
Excited

Uplifted
Spiritual
Warm
& Most importanly,
Alive !
