The Myth Is True
You know those myths that claim that if you play certain songs backwards, you can hear secret Satanic messages?
It's true. Go to this web site for samples: http://jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm
Also: according to this page, Stairway to Heaven played backwards is a separate Satanic song: http://jeffmilner.com/2004/06/stairway-to-heaven-backwards-full.htm#108696961702441092
Well, guess what. I tested it out. I loaded my mp3 of Stairway to Heaven into a program called Audacity (which is available for free download, if you Google it). I then went to the Effects menu and reversed the song and played it. I followed along with the lyrics on that web page.
The result: it's freakin' true.
Yes, you heard me. If you play Stairway to Heaven backwards there is a separate song. Now, I'll be the first to admit that yes, the lyrics are warped so they aren't 100% clear, but they're clear enough. The thing that really cements it in my mind is that played backwards, the lyrics match up with the rhythm of the song, and the song has its own separate melody that even goes into some solos, such as at the end (or technically, the beginning). This had to be intentional; the odds of it being coincidence are astronomical. These are the three things you've got to take into account:
1) Words can be heard quite clearly at times
2) These words make sense when strung together
3) These words match up with the music
I will never look at Led Zeppelin in the same way again. The myth is true. Stairway to Heaven played backwards does have Satanic lyrics.
Cherry and I are still trying to cope with it. It's just creepy. I won't be surprised if I don't get much sleep on account of this.
