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.
Pete Standing Alone is the name of a Native American. he belongs to the Blood Tribe. i'm not sure if he's still alive.
anyway, he was the subject of a National Board of Canada film called Circle of the Sun, I think.
according to this site (http://bocpages.org/wiki/Pete_Standing_Alone) which i think is pretty credible, the voice is saying "bonds" over and over, which refers to another NBOC film called Bonds apparently.
i can't deduce the meaning until I watch the film, but I must say, I like the way the title works by itself even without the reference. and the mood the track creates.. it's mellow but kind of upbeat.
This is easily my favourite song off of Music Has the Right to Children. Such emotion is conveyed throughout the song, especially at the beginning when the tones are just slowly being played. The growling voice at the end just adds to the surreal feeling that the song builds up. I think he is saying "water", but I'm not sure.
