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.
OK. I think I've got it. I figured it out while driving my iMiev around today and listening to "Pickin' on Phish." Celtic guitar composition. In Ireland, especially the North (I've been there), I'm pretty sure "GLAD" is pronounced....... well, "GLIDE." There's a dipthong in the word. Try it! Say in an Irish/ East London accent.
Picture Trey having written the basic cheerful Celtic style guitar song and having "Glad" as a working title. Add a linguistically minded person or the band or whoever goofing on the title in an Irish accent while putting the full band arrangement together, and there you go.
The nonsense about being glad that you're a glide fits.
The part about arriving and being alive always had me thinking about driving to shows safely and soberly, or at least reasonably so.

funky little nice tune (even though the coventry version kind of sucks, though emotional)
I can't help but be reminded of Cream's "I'm so glad" everytime i listen to this song, as different as the two songs are.

I'm glide that you've read my interpretation. :)

this song is nothing more than phonetics...the words gLide and gLad are both "glides" (look it up and ALL will be revealed)
