Kalank Title — Track - Lyrical =link=
Here’s a blog post draft based on the lyrical video of the Kalank title track. It focuses on the poetry, the emotions, and the visual storytelling—without just repeating the lyrics. Kalank Title Track (Lyrical): When Love’s Stain Becomes Art’s Masterpiece
Every lyric is superimposed over dreamy, haunting visuals: broken pillars, drifting smoke, Alia Bhatt’s tearful eyes, Varun Dhawan’s burning intensity. The font itself feels old—like a handwritten letter you were never meant to find. “Kalank nahi, ishq hai kajal piya…” (It’s not a stain, my love—it’s kohl, beloved…) This single line redefines the song. The world calls their love a kalank (stigma, blot). The lover calls it kajal —something sacred, applied with care, wiped only with tears. The lyrical video lingers on this line, letting the piano breathe, forcing you to sit with the contradiction. Kalank Title Track - Lyrical
Decoding the poetic tragedy hidden in every word and frame of the lyrical video. There are songs you hear. And then there are songs you feel —deep in your chest, like an old wound opening again. The Kalank title track, in its lyrical video format, is the latter. Here’s a blog post draft based on the
The lyrical video turns every line into a frozen tear. You find yourself pausing, reading, rewinding. It becomes poetry therapy. Yes, the original Kalank song has grand visuals—fire, palaces, forbidden embraces. But the lyrical version strips everything away. No story context needed. No knowledge of the film required. The font itself feels old—like a handwritten letter
That’s a brilliant tip and the example video.. Never considered doing this for some reason — makes so much sense though.
So often content is provided with pseudo HTML often created by MS Word.. nice to have a way to remove the same spammy tags it always generates.
Good tip on the multiple search and replace, but in a case like this, it’s kinda overkill… instead of replacing

ptags, even with attributes, using</?p[^>]*>.Simples :-)
Cool! Regex to the rescue.
My main use-case has about 15 find-replaces for all kinds of various stuff, so it might be a little outside the scope of a single regex.
Yeah, I could totally see a command like
remove cruftdoing a bunch of these little replaces. RegEx could absolutely do it, but it would get a bit unwieldy.</?(p|blockquote|span)[^>]*>What sublime theme are you using Chris? Its so clean and simple!

Thanks Joe!
Question, in your code, I understand the need for ‘find’, ‘replace’ and ‘case’. What does greedy do? Is that a designation to do all?
What is the theme used in the first image (package install) and last image (run new command)?
There is a small error in your JSON code example.
A closing bracket at the end of the code is missing.
There is a cool plugin for Sublime Text https://github.com/titoBouzout/Tag that can strip tags or attributes from file. Saved me a lot of time on multiple occasions. Can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you don’t want to mess with regular expressions.
