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.
incredible song. one of the best of 2009. really allows you to realize what a beautiful place this world is. if you've discovered this artist and this song then consider yourself lucky, because i know too many people who wouldn't even give it a chance.
@chopperj I feel a little ridicule for posting this, about an instrumental piece, on a forum dedicated to commenting songs lyrics. But the website is named "Song MEANINGS" and, well, we all know that meanings trascend words and are quite subjective.
The thing is that I agree with you, Choppperj: this song really celebrates the grandiosity of this universe. I imagine an epic scene to it, like a last minute salvatage of the Earth or a bunch of villagers rushing to safety from a giant menace. It sends shivers down my spine.
Simply great!
