Empty Spaces: The Backwards Secret Message

When Empty Spaces is heard normally, at exactly 1:13, there is a section of the lyrics which appears to be nonsense. However If played backwards, you can hear Pink Floyd singer, Roger Waters say the following message:

-Hello, Luka [hunters]... Congratulations. You have just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont...
-Roger! Carolyne's on the phone!
-Okay.

I honestly laughed the first time I heard this, I see it as Pink Floyd saying, "Congrats on wasting enough of your time to find this message!"

I didn't want to sleep tonight anyway

[InvdrShadowPony]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

this just proves that roger and the rest of the band were all big jokers and must have thought that people play songs backwards to try and find hidden messages so they gave it a go i showed this to my dad who is a big pink floyd fan he has all the original pink floyd records so we played them all backwards the hidden stuff is so funny

how would this be scary

There's also a backwards message during the song Young Lust in which David states "Roger is an asshole and has turned into a controlling nazi during this album." It's true.

Pink Floyd...I thought you were my friend..now you scare me.

[Annmarie Gallardo]

they did this on purpose

[NotSoFamousPaul]

This was definitely a joke. I'm willing to bet large amounts of money that someone telling Roger that Carolyne was on the phone was unintentional.

o.o

dumb...wish I had those 2 minutes back
