Owen Hardy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 in the first 25 seconds or so of the song I swear I can hear Geddy saying something - not just chanting. But I can't make out what it is. In fact, at the point where it seems most audible (and not just chanting) it almost seems to be something being said backwards - ?? So in this case I may have to actually play it backwards to figure it out - gonna have to get the vinyl. ;^) Does anyone else hear this or is it just me?

spock Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It is backwards - if you spin the record the other way, he's saying "I think I'm, I'm going bald..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GernTheFish Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Just curious, do you ever hear chanting when you don't play CA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Hardy Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 so far I'm liking Lost In Xanadu's interpretation the best, based on what I know of the story behind CA. But some of the other responses are pretty funny. To answer your question, GernTheFish, yes. I've heard chanting from sources other than CA. If your question is, do I ever hear chanting in the absence of sound the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some of the other responses are pretty funny. My response was from Def Leppard's Hysteria.... the backwards sounding mumbling at the beginning of "Rocket" is "We're fighting with the Gods of war" if you play it backwards (a line from Gods of War... also on Hysteria) I would be very interested in your finding though. I don't know if it's backwards, it sound like choral chanting to me... Aren't there audio programs you can play stuff backwards in without needing the vinyl?

Jomboni Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Apparently he's saying "I've got blisters on me fingers!" which is a weird thing to say before the song even starts, but it's the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) On a serious note, I started analyzing the waveform, listening to the first part backwards and comparing it to the ending played normally... The beginning is just the chanting and ambient sound + some of the following lyrics backwards + the end of the beginning is the beginning backwards... here are the bits of lyrics you can make out, taken straight from the song and sang the same way: Globes of light float in mid-air Higher still, against the night Clockwork angels bathed in light I was having some fun digging and then had to take a hard stop, discovered a hidden message from the Watchmaker right at the very end of the song. He warns us, foreboding.. Wouldn't do that...... If you don't believe me, crank the music fairly loudly at the end, right around the 7:27 mark and listen... I don't know about you guys but I'm not f**king around with this ANY more! Edited June 18, 2012 by Godeater2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
