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 two instrumental tracks near the end of the album, 'Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers' and 'In That Quiet Earth', are the final words of the book Wuthering Heights.
I'm sure many readers know this already but I think it should be mentioned.
An absolutely haunting and evocative piece which always puts me in mind of the yorkshire moors(especially near Top Withens/Howarth ).The guitar counterplay between steve and mike was never better!.I also have very fond memories of banging my head to the "....in that quiet earth". section of this track on friday nights-just before going out and having my pre-weekend gallon,in the 70s.
I think the song means; unquiet slumbers relates to the lack of rest sleepers have on a main line railway, what with high speed trains rumbling over them every 5 to 10 minutes.......What a band, they could even write a meaningful song about a humble lump of wood.
