Wow. I'm a huge Beatles fan....I've heard the song 'Because' and love it, and know Lennon based the song on this song played backward....I have never heard the original song backward before though....it's beautiful. Goddamn, Lennon was a fucking genius! Not to mention Beethoven was a fucking genius too!
i like this but i think u should here the moonlight backwards version i have in my favorites in my channel its good but they made it 4 a video game call shadow man but the song is called jack II its more of a mix but sound more evil
The tone I get from this version is "madness" as opposed to the "beauty" from the foward version. It seems madness makes everything a bit more interesting. lol
what if you fall asleep listening to this. and when you dream, it would be your whole life replayed backwards all the way until you were born. then you wake up
Now I'd love to hear it played backwards AND forwards together at the same time as a duet!! I wouldn't be surprised if it really fit together. Somebody let me know if it's been done!
I think it would sound much better if someone actually wrote the sheet music backwards and actually played it on piano. As it is here it sounds like a funeral organ...which is pretty cool actually. Someone should put it in a Vampire movie this way!..Or has that been done too already?
@LANACHAPEL Umm John Lennon had Yoko Ono play Moonlight Sonata Backwards and that inspired him to write Because by the Beatles. But its on the guitar. Does that count??
John Lennon was a truly amazing person.I would have never thought to play Moonlight Sonata backwards.The wind doesn't blow my mind,John Lennon does.<3
Dear megadroogie , take some vitamins; you can be a positive influence on people with nice comments, but who listens to a sourpuss? When someone makes a nice comment, you have no excuse to attack, that shows a disorder of some sort. If you want a life and an afterlife, love, love, love.
I f'ing ADORE this piece of music. It's followed me all through my life, popping up on the radio, on punk metal CD's, on TV, Resident Evil, and It's legendary. It's so sad, even in reverse...
I know they remade the song "Because", but Moonlight Sonata backwards was played at some point in the video. If not, then I'm thinking of the wrong movie.
The composers of the old times. You see? These legendary composers mare their songs so perfect, so now matter how u change them, the original always sounds the best. And I'm not using sarcasm.
I dunno if anyone noticed this, but around 2:15 you can hear what sounds like someone singing in the background. it really adds to the eerie nature of the whole song.
the strange thing of this song is that john lennon inspired him self to do the song because by the influence of moonlight sonata one day he was hearing yoko ono playing this song and after a few minutes he ask yoko to play that chords backwards and then he compose because
I'm amazed by the fact that, even though it's being played completely backwards, the song still has a tune and melody to it.... I am genuinely fascinated by this man's musical genious. It blows my mind...
This song is played in Wolf's Rain.

The strangest and creepiest thing about Moonlight Sonata backwards is what Leonard Cohen said about it:
I will play the Moonlight Sonata
backwards. This will reverse the effects of
the world's mad plunge into suffering, for
the last 200 million years. What a lovely
night that would be. What a sigh of relief, as
the senile robins become bright red again,
and the retired nightingales, pick up their
dusty tails, and assert the majesty of creation!
