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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“VCR” is about simple, nostalgic, and cute love. VCRs, or videocassette recorders, were used throughout the 1980s and 1990s to watch and record video until the DVD was invented in 1995, making them nostalgic to kids born in the late ‘80s like all three members of The xx.

The track is one of the band’s quaintest, simplest pop songs, featuring a prominent xylophone medley.
