So cool! They purposely made the beginning a reverse of the ending part. notice how in the backwards one and non backwards ones, the ending and beginning are the same.
I don't mean to piss anyone off, I'm just siting the original band that used reversal techniques in a song (the Beatles).
I was obsessed with radiohead first, but later I became obsessed with the Beatles and after really listening to it, I can definitely see some techniques Radiohead utilized and evolved that the Beatles incubated. Music evolution is so interesting.
wow... this is the third band/musician that i have known to perfect the art of making a song still sound beautiful backwards, the other two are The Beatles and some other classical musician witch the name escapes me
i love how 0:30 is basically the intro. i figured the actual intro was reversed somewhere in the song and could never put my finger on where. this is beautiful, thank you.
Yeah, the last 30 seconds are really cool. i also thought the beginning of your video sounded much like the end of the original song.....very, very, cool!
WOW. I can't really articulate in words what I mean, but this song always made me feel like it was communicating something musically apart from what the lyrics are saying. Something about the paradoxical nature of hope versus determinism or SOMETHING. I don't know.
Now, come to find out that the end is the beginning reversed and the beginning is the end reversed LOL. Amazing. It really subliminally makes the song more powerful imo. I think I sensed this was the case without realizing it.
yeah i just figured this out today xD i always wondered why the beginning of Nude sounded so cool. I always thought they just took different chopped up bits and put em 'randomly', not the ending in reverse xD
Was trying to just sync up the ending and the beginning backwards right now, failed, and found this here on Youtube. Oh, good enough for me xD
Wonder why not too many people have seen this video.
well... the second part of this video (the ending) is the opener on the album track i.e. the ending played backwards. the vocals at least, not sure about the music. its at about 38 seconds in, you can hear the part being played forward at the end of this backwards version at the end of this video.
Ow... I thought this was going to be another bullshit video about playing songs backwards and listening to the devils` voice... but it turned out to be something really interesting!
You know what...Radiohead might very well be the smartest band out there today. I can't think of another band as experimental but pleasantly listenable as the 'head.
because youtubers and most humans in general are idiots and disregard the really good stuff so that they can fill themselves with pointless music like the pussycat dolls :p
if you use pro tools for the mac it really enables you to do stuff like this(if you have the vision), you can highlight a small part of the song and reverse it, and do all kinds of crazy shit
