so i wanted to hear some new glu...and since ive been hearing alot about john lennon lately and all them conspiracy theorists talk about message in songs played backwards i opened up audacity to fix some files but then i decided to try flipping some glu songs and see what i found...
(audacity: open up a file, EDIT > select all, then EFFECT >reverse)


all wrong (the part before the chorus normally, but backwards):
(nothing audible) something mix threat,
(nothing audible) nooothing wish you would listen,
this is not asking, a mess,
during up ([or] never again) my arrieee(nothing audible)
(then the solo part sounds so friggin awesome backwards)

there is more but i'll let you guys go listen to it yourselves...

here we go now version 1 (ripped from the armadasoundsys. mp3)
chorus backwards:
(sounds very middleeastern-y backwards)
"let me find my way,
if if i refrain,
(nothing audible)
let me find my way,
if if i refrain,
(nothing audible)
if i find ice cream.. and as you would.. (nothing audible) ..believe me... (repeats)one way,
(nothing audible) you'd bring me..."

verse 2 reversed:
"if i remember my fear for you
and watch me
would i?
watch my remembered ones (inaudible)
push on the...

god was there , the sun is...
im breaking yeah.. the sun is...
push on, do something about about my obstacle--"

(chorus backwards)

[the first verse is really weird backwards]
"and off an on the" i cant make it out.. its all weird..

okay so that sucked but lets try another song...
saying goodbye (thinking hello! okay, just kidding)

(interpretations of sounds are fun!)

bk'wd's masking rule of thumb:
if you take a song you REALLY REALLY love and play it backward it always sounds equaly awesome the other way around :)

No, what is really fun is this. Flip the song and learn the notes in that order. Play and record the song backwards. Now take that and flip it. You will get a homemade version that if done correctly is the song playing forward with backwards masking effects.

Oh you need to be able to play some intruments.

Or just record it to an old school 4 track and flip the tape backwards and just listen to it......
