Did you know 'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zep is a satanic ballard backwards dubbed 'Stairway to Hell'?

Question

Open the album version on your pc (not live version), convert it to Wave file, open with MS Sound Recorder (or other music editing software), reverse it, save & convert back to mp3/wma, then open in Media Player (or other audio player with speed modifications), and slow it 5-10%. You'll be suprised when you hear this:

Plaaaay backwards,
Hear why its sung here, oppositioner..
All on track, all arriving
They all sing, and they are one.
Shall I loathe you now, parishoner?
Oh hear Him, Christian within me.
It stirs my sin; the river,
Oh, she swells with our lousiness.
All my life will end for him?
We're all out of signs,
I know I'm sorta shocked
To hear The Lord,
My God now will save me!
*Guitar Solo
Oh I will n'er be saved,
Because I live with Satan..
One wish today;
That you'll all pray for
Three who will make it here late.
Pray now and you'll see..
The 'Lord' turned me on,
But, oh, I was the shaggy fool..
Clothed in agony,
Lost at a height

There's no escaping it,
Nor his woes..
So here's to my Sweet Satan.
The other's little path
Would make me sad,
Whose power is faith.
He'll give those with him 666.
And all the evil fools,
said they know he made
us suffer sad Satan.
Ohohohoh...
"Family won't get loose,
They're offered me."
Always soothes the worker.
Always will be as we know now
"I see ruins," said he,
"the world they offered me?
Who wished the Lord's fall?"
If we lose feather,
Say you'll save me!

And no wimps can bend the rules..
And no wimps can do..

Hunt next to the shore,
'Cause they see all from there,
See here's the news,
Who walks with mute grief!
Perhaps no-one found thee...
"Heavy, lift me out,"
Spake the Reve,
"Someday, failed, we'll lose one line-up,
They've gotta leave for Satan."

And no wimps can do..
And no wimps can do...

He, who say the lords
Thoth have our laws,
Maat must be superb. Mass is ended..
Over there,

He who should learn thee.
Any moot that serves by my sworn music,
I wish it with snow be shushed,
All for my mass's sake.
Hear why its sung,
here, oppositioner, Ohh..
He who should show
May make his show worthy,
To look, for us, odd.. sickly,
There's one chance - take his show.
Hold thy head,
Hear why its sung here. oppositioner.
Who owns this earth built below?
Oh sweet Israel...


It sounds best with headphones on, and a modified equaliser so it clarifys the speech. Check it out!!

Paul, coz I'm so stunned at how this was done I'm thinking they ~must~ have made a deal with something evil like Satan, and it's made me a lil more religious as a result. It may just be a prank but I dunno.. That song was VERY popular.

BTW- Don't comment or answer unless you ACTUALLY DO IT!

Answer 1

1. Wow, it makes even less sense when played backwards - who'd have thought that?!

2. Here's another set of ramblings that makes little sense either ....

Answer 2

The most amazing part is how they managed to get more syllables when playing forward than backwards! And how the end section (which is now the beginning) contains more words than the much longer section that comes before (now after) the solo.

That must be one VERY modified equalizer... or as others call it, a tape device with a completely different recording. Bravo!

Answer 3

When I was kid, there were always people who said if you play this or that album backwards it says this or that Satanic thing.

What it all boils down to is imagination. People imagine whatever they want to hear.

I'd be more concerned what songs say when you play them forwards.
