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 is an all instrumental jazz track, so trying to find the meaning will be obscure at best.
The name of the song, Blue in Green, suggests that it's about sadness interpreted through another
modality-sound, which seems like a likely scenario, because if you've listened to the song it's
about the closest thing to concentrated sadness that exists.
Yes, but it's a bittersweet sadness. This is not a literal interpretation but a illustrative metaphor. Say you feel the pain of having lost a loved one. Yet if you could somehow alter history so that person would never have come into your life, you would not choose to do so.

Perhaps there's a bit of Rorschach Blot effect in this.

Blue in Green also speaks to me of a heart which even though hurt, still harbors an unbreakable devotion.

It is in any case to me, the epitome of the mesmerizing magic of the great Bill Evans.

There are...
There are many songs that express conflicting emotions--despair & hope, frustration & determination, longing & self-discipline, and so on.
For an example of another instrumental number evoking (in my opinion) a range of emotions, check out "A Remark You Made" by Weather Report. Yes, there is melancholy, but to my ear comes also an acceptance leading toward a kind of tentative equanimity if not serenity.
i do not know a lot about jazz, but i'm attempting to experience and to better understand many kinds of music.

thank you for your comments. they are very intelligent, and intriguing. i agree with much of what you say as well -- regarding this song, but in general also. i like music that is evocative, without so blantantly spelling out what it's saying. and, often, people seem to have these ideas about what they are listening to -- that it's a "love song" or a "break-up song" or a "sad song" (you get the picture), but i tend to...
