Hidden Message in ’Cold Water’

gazdep · 11-01-2003, 07:32 PM

Can someone please tell me what is sung backwards at the end of Cold Water?

I did ask Damien himself but he just said to play it backwards to find out....only, my CD player can't do this.!!!

tis_me_Tania · 11-01-2003, 08:47 PM

cartman · 11-01-2003, 09:21 PM

that is mad,

pretty cool in my oppinion

The fact that you can find out all sorts of things about Damien's songs makes them that tad bit better when you listen to them.

Well seeing as I didn't have anything to do this afternoon I downloaded a prog to play mp3's backwards, and yep Tania is right [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]the first you does sound a bit iffy tho...

If you carry on listening to the whole song backwards you can re-create Twin Peaks (all you need is some Red Curtains and a couple of strobe lights lol)Edited by: Smithy

What program did you get that does that?

Smithy · 11-02-2003, 12:30 PM

It's called Audio Editor, you can get it here... http://www.e-soft.co.uk/FreeDownload.htmit's about a couple of megs to download.

tis_me_Tania · 11-03-2003, 12:20 PM

i did not know that. cheers tania! oh and by the way your PM box is full!

daol20 · 11-19-2003, 12:20 PM

I havent heard it backwards myself, but in an interview (cant remember with who) he tells that he added it because of the time he lived with monks in the french mountains, and every mourning as they prayed and sang, it sounded like that. He says why he felt it would work well with the song but he didnt mention anything about any message, and im sure its just a freakish coincidence that it sounds like those words.

But i could be proved wrong........Edited by: daol20

idiosynful · 11-19-2003, 06:21 PM

Downloaded the software...listened to it backwards...and...whoa. That's pretty strange. It isn't too distinct, the chanting part, but you can definitely hear the words, and they're clearly English. Whoa. Nifteh!

Loveless · 11-19-2003, 07:09 PM

I've uploaded a small mp3 sample of the end of Cold Water in reverse, might make it easier for some people to hear it.

Angela · 11-19-2003, 09:36 PM

Awww, I can't believe you took the time to do that! Awesome! Thanks!

Krystian · 11-19-2003, 11:56 PM

Thanks Bunches Loveless!!![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

daol20 · 11-21-2003, 09:14 AM

Haha!! I have to hold my hand up here! Your all right. It does say that.

I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE

mysterytramp · 11-21-2003, 09:24 AM

It's just the chanting at the start of the song played backwards isn't it?
