Now I know some of you are thinking "why would anyone play music in reverse to begin with?" Well I don't know, but someone did it for some reason and eventually someone heard what sounded like coherent speech.
So what of hidden messages found when playing music in reverse or backmasking? Some think that it's just that the brain is trying to make sense out of what's being heard and makes it seem like there's coherent words and that is a plausabile theory that's probably true a lot of times. But there are songs with intentional backmasking, but the lyrics sound like jibberish when play normally.

Now in a few songs, you can clearly hear a backmasked message and not just something that sounds like one. I'm convinced some of these messages are in fact satanic magic or influence in the songs. In rock and roll especially. There a quite a few rock groups and artist who had an interest in a man named Alester Crowley, a very vile satanic magician who thought that his followers should learn to walk and talk backwards.

I'll mention one band in particular, Led Zeppelin and their song Stairway to Heaven. Lead Singer Jimmy Page was obssed with Crowley, owned many of his writings, and even lived in Crowley's mansion. He and song writer Robert Plant used auto writing or ghost writing when they got the beginning lyrics of the song.
The part of the song where the backwards message is has to do with a poem by Crowley and when played backwards there's a satanic message, awfully big coincidence.

But again, like in my last topic, I like to say that it makes no difference if there's hidden messages in songs, especaily when the songs are ungodly when played normally.
Hearing what might be hidden messages in music isn't solid enough evidence that a song or the Singer are evil but when the song wrirters are dabbeling in the occult these hidden messages can show that the influence of santan is a real thing.

So my point in this topic is that we don't have much use in taking up our time with looking for hidden things when the fact that a rock band like Led Zeppelin is depraved is easy to see.

Stay strong in Christ and be blessed everyone.

I always thought that song was overrated.
I'm more of a When the Levee Breaks man.

When I was a Zepplen fan my favorite song was Rambling on, but I found a lot of their songs underrated, like Misty Mountain Hop. Rock and roll is what my paarens listened to and I enjoy it for a large part of my life. But now I don't listen to much of any of the stuff I used to, America is still a nice band in my book.
 
I saw a video of one of the originators of this idea. He greatly regrets it and no longer supports it.
 
This is a odd one for me.
During the 80s when I was a teen ,and a atheist. I found out that some folks on TV were saying that some rock music was satanic. I had to watch an find out what all the hubbub was about. I tuned in to the show and saw these Christian folks going on about how when playing some music backwards you could hear a satanic message. I thought wow . I never knew this and I had to buy those records,and play them backwards too . Funny thing is if it wasn't for that televangelist and his wife turning me on to those records I never would have started listening. Odd how that worked out.
I am great full today that I am saved and have better taste in music . I still am a bit confused on the whole backwards music stuff . Yes some were really in to the occult. Also I am sure that many of these groups that did it just hoped beyond all that some Christian tv station would play their music backwards and send there sales through the roof.

The lyrics people claim to hear when playing music backwards seem like it takes an awful lot of "maybe" to hear what they claim to hear. It's an interesting topic, but I don't hear what others claim to, and I've seen a lot of YouTube videos about it over the years.

That's true, especially in the YouTube videos. A few times I didn't hear the same as the videos captions read out.

In these documentaries, I can usually accept the interpretation of the symbols on album covers or even the interpretation of the lyrics (played forward), but the leap of logic I have to make to "hear" what somebody claims to hear when spinning a record backwards is too much a stretch for me. A lot of times, I think people "hear" what they want to hear...confirmation bias.
 
Most music nowadays is dark enough I don't want to think what the backward message is.. though I believe they love to think they are special and we are puppets to be manipulated..

We have to remember we are not of this world and those that are in unbelief come in many forms.. some are wilfully rebelling against the Most High believing Satan is their helper.. the serpent to some is not beguiling but helping them escape.. live forever as gods.. and the music promoted is encouraging the do as thou will message.... call me crazy, I don't mind. But yes.. the devices are deep and wide spread but most believe it not.
 
Don't play this song backwards you won't like it anymore lol.

Is Satan around every corner waiting just to trip you up, deceive you, thwart your godly deeds, play with your mind, and overturn your faith? Does he send his demons to speak into your subconscious, lead you into sin, or plant ungodly ideas in your mind, or is this just the way we as humans are wired?

Are we giving the forces of evil too much air time in our lives?


Are we perhaps diminishing our own personal responsibility by finding a scapegoat for our unlovely thoughts and actions?


Should we not rather fill our thoughts and our lives with the goodness of God and thoughts of what is true, lovely, praiseworthy, and noble so we have no room for negative, oppressive thinking that would pull us away from abiding in Jesus?
 
When we were kids my brother and I play Three Little Pigs record backwards in a scented like they were cussing

If the mind can percieve it, it will, you were aware of curse words for you had experienced them, heard them around you before listening to the three little pigs, similar to 3D street art like below, its not a 3D picture its on a flat surface just 2D lines in a 2D photo that appear to be 3D depending on the location your viewing it from, as well as looking at it in a photo. sight and sound is similar in reaction to it.
