Emilie Autumn - Opheliac Backwards (Nmutua Eilime - Cailehpo)

This is something I did when I frankly had nothing better to do. I just figured 'What the heck, I'll put this up on YouTube'.

I've included lyrics in this description, but not the kind you'd usually find in a 'backwards' video. What I've done is basically turning the actual lyrics for Opheliac backwards. What this means is that these are not misheard lyrics (Although someone should do it) and it is possible to follow the song and sing along.

Well, theoretically anyway.

If you haven't already guessed, I own nothing in the video, the song or the lyrics. It's all the copyright of Emilie Autumn and her little-known cousin Nmutua Eilime, backing her up on vocals.

Hehe.

Well, um, good luck singing that. XD

Oh, btw, it may not SOUND like she sings that at first, but that is because you kind of tend to sing with a weird-ass accent when singing backwards. So yeah. Let's call this language Backwardish.

@PersianButtons What a curious interpretation, I can imagine it. ^ ^

[plaguerat666]

Some parts sound German others sound spanish. but the part at 1:00 sounds very pretty.

Some sounds like it's from The Sims lol.

[CBoyZee]

@plaguerat666 I think some parts of it also sounds like Polish, Russian or other such languages, but you could sum it up with Sims-gibberish, yes. XD

My own favorite part of the song must be 4:02, there's something about the overall sounds of the instruments that I don't even know how Emilie pulled off making it sound so brilliant backwards too. I might mention it to her if I ever have the chance to talk to her for more than 10 seconds.

[MrJabberzz]

Holy crap this sounds like a different language!

[CBoyZee]

@MrJabberzz There's something about the way it sounds that sounds like some forgotten foreign language or something, which I find fascinating. :)

I think there's a lot other EA songs being reversed on YouTube, you could check them out as well if you haven't already done so.

[TeaTimeTwins]

... it's so... so... so ... unfamiliar !! xP

... anyway - I think I love it !! Well, but theres nothing better than the original !! ;D

[CBoyZee]

@TeaTimeTwins Oh, I do agree, I've lost count on how many times I've listened to it and I still can't seem to get enough. ^^

[PlagueRatTorey]

Anyone else get an evil polka feeling?

[punklollypop6]

LOL this sounds like some russian folk song XDDD

[yellowHime]

Could've sworn I heard "arimasen" during the rapping part. Or maybe that's just me. xD

[Wolle8890]

at 3:27 it sounds like "why you leave these" and then a few seconds later like "why you leave me" D: love backwards stuff.

btw.eilime is a great name!

[catgirl51]

1:24 Cupcakes never looked so good @q@

[zirtapot57]

still awesome :D

[zeldagirl1234]

I sometimes hear something along the lines of "Rumplestiltskin's a f***ing mouser-rat that hits everyone with chicken" and also something very similar to that except it's "hits MEEEH" instead of the first one. Am I the only one who hears those? O.o

[left4deadlover123]

I love the part at 2:54

[doglover427]

@PlagueRatTorey

OH MY GOD, Yes!

[witchsaint]

it starts out sounding spanish, then german, then russian. the violin and the talking parts sound really weird, but awesome, and the 2:48 and 4:01 parts (my favorites) kinda sound like she's singing opera<3

[ancona246]

1:1 really pretty
