Kindred Spirit Lyrics

Kindred spirit,
if you think you're hearing something
and you can't think what it is...
if you feel a quiet longing,
lift your heart into the wind
there you'll find my kindred spirit
there you'll meet me as a friend...
..it is just a kindred feeling
and a song to let you in....

Keep it true to the song

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.

While usually a "kindred spirit" is more of a platonic friendship where two people get along so well because they are similar and complimentary, this also describes a soulmate type connection where there is a deep yearning for emotional and physical closeness and bonding. Especially, "if you hear something and don't quite know what it is" seems to suggest that such rare, random and nearly miraculous subtle clues continually guide you to one another.
