How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

On “24,” the magisterial slowcore opening track to Red House Painters' debut album Down Colorfull Hill, Mark Kozelek takes the perspective of someone aged 24, worrying about growing old. The track starts off almost completely silent, with extremely soft minimal guitars, before the drums come in.
