15 - Rhapsody in Green Reversed (Homestuck: The Felt OST)

[BezuTheDemon]

The original acts as a harmony to the reversed. See?

[h3llb0yn3cr0]

Holy fuck Variations.

[ProbablyNotMark]

The beginning sounds just like Corneria from Star Fox

[RavenclawEspioXV]

Listen to both the backwards and forwards versions at the same time.

It sounds awesome. :D

[NoobOfLore]

@RavenclawEspioXV

You are completely right.

It sounds fantastic.

Forward? A nice, soothing ambient song.

Backward? An awesome, calming yet catchy melody.

Gotta love Weird Music Shit. <3

[rightleftwinger]

honestly, i don't understand the reaction to this song. it was obviously meant to be played backwards originally; the reversal doesn't sound nearly as good. it's admirable that they put in some backwards samples and made a chord progression that reversed well, but this song largely is just a normal song that was reversed on the album.

[NoobOfLore]

I think this song may be better backwards than forwards.

[giantarchsagewalrus]

It sounds rather like Corneria from the original Star Fox, especially starting at 0:57

[Goatmon]

@giantarchsagewalrus I think many many people think that.

Maybe because it really really does. =D

[Bek359]

There is absolutely no way this wasn't intentional.

[WestleyTaninger]

Is there any way to get these reversed versions? I want this just as much as the regular direction.

[Gendreavus]

@WestleyTaninger

1) Buy the original song

2) Open original song in Audacity (Freeware audio editor)

3) Effect > Reverse

4) Save As... > MP3

5) ????

6) Profit!

[ItsPatrickXD]

Man this sends shivers up my spine...

[jesses130]

Gorgeous.

[TropeTan]

haha weird it sounds like I've heard it before even though I've only listened to the forwards one

[FlyingPillowMan]

@TropeTan You listened to it FORWARDS WAYS.

[SuperYogSothoth]

@TropeTan Variations, at the end of the album.

[NoobOfLore]

augh

How is this song so awesome forwards and backwards?

[SWE3tMadness]

This is a fucking work of art. It's like one of those optical illusions that have two different pictures depending on what parts you focus on. So much work goes into this soundtrack, and all you composers out there are what make Homestuck so goddamn awesome.

Seriously, pat yourselves on the back. Crack open a TaB, you all deserve it. :D

[Airigh]

Oh my god

Variations borrows the melody from this song at one point. I never, ever realized that.

[ISeeWhatYouDidThere7]

I believe that you can officially classify this under Weird Music Shit.

[Maverick8187]

Gah, of course it sounds just as good coming AND going... damn time shenanigans.

[RalleJanis]

Holy shit, this is amazing. It manages to sound great played both fowards and backwards.

Woa.

[Hyancithe]

Thank you for putting these up! I'm just wondering whereabouts the low-quality downloads are? I can't really find them on the bandcamp site, but maybe it's obvious and I'm missing it @_@

[Mewchu11]

@Hyancithe

The bandcamp site doesn't inherently allow you to download the low-quality music from the site, only listen to it there. The reason I link back to the bandcamp site is specifically because the point of the low-quality music is to serve as a preview for the the purchase. If you want to download the music I urge you to buy the album!

[MessiahForHire73]

Oh man I never realized that a huge part of this theme was just the reversed tune that you hear in Variations!

[NeoEnou]

Can you put up a download link of the altered versions for those who can't reverse songs?

[ElfySan]

@NeoEnou Look up Audacity.

[Goatmon]

@NeoEnou Even the most basic audio-relatedsoftware can do that easily, you know. 

[Goatmon]

@NeoEnou There is no shortage of free software you can use for that, you know.

[Haileyvoir]

O_O

Holy shit

[TheOnlyRen]

I was wondering why this particular song sounds so funky. Now I know. And it was beautiful. I nearly cried.

[DarkSam]

No words

None :'o

[bambadep]

This sounds so familiar, sounds almost like part of the SNES Star Fox theme.

[Gedhir]

@bambadep My thoughts exactly!

[Goatmon]

@bambadep It is the exact same chord progression.  : o
