CONNECTIONS
Follow the
lineage.
Songs are the stable nodes. Releases, remasters, album appearances, and related compositions are the paths between them. This view keeps those relationships visible without collapsing different versions into one object.
ALBUM LINEAGE
Where the songs land.
A standalone recording can later become part of an album chapter without losing its original release identity.
SONG THREADS
Different songs. Shared thread.
These are explicit editorial relationships in the archive—not algorithmic guesses. They exist because the songs belong together in the story or composition history.
THE RULE
Connections never overwrite identity.
The canonical song remains the composition-level source of truth. Release pages own recording-specific artwork, credits, lyrics, stories, and listening links. Album appearances and related-song links connect those objects without merging them into one blob.
