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.
it has no lyrics... who cares? one of the most beautiful songs ever
puts me to sleep: the perfect lullaby
makes me feel like i'm flying over the world, floating on the wind over beautiful forests & streams...
i wish stupid orchestra teachers would let us play this in school... we started to once in 6th grade, so i know the melody's pretty simple, but then we couldn't keep working on it cuz we already had too much stuff to play. but then she never brought it back, and none of my teachers since have considered it even when they ask for recommendations and i say Canon! and it's not like it's too easy because we were capable of playing it in 6th grade, the younger the intended player is, the easier and more dumbed-down the famous piece is. it would be a great opportunity to work on vibrato and emotion in playing, which we really need to work on, but my teacher seems rather incompetent... >sigh<
i love Canon. songs like this make me live up to my username ;)
