Some interesting facts about music

I will share some interesting facts that I have learned from personal experience with music:
 
1.)  Reversed songs are not just simply a mess being played backwards.  They convey distinct moods and personalities just like forward songs.  Listening to reversed songs is actually like listening to a whole new song that is played forward.  A great example is the song "Ballad of the Goddess" which is the opening theme to the game Legend of Zelda:  Skyward Sword.  This is the song "Zelda's Lullaby" played backwards, but is made into a forward song that conveys a distinct mood and personality which is different than the original song.
 
You can apply the same process to any other song out there as well.  Go ahead and apply that process in your mind to the song "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar.  What you will get when you reverse her song is a mood and personality that conveys something dramatic and horrific.  You can use an audio software such as Audacity to reverse music.
 
2.)  If you listen to your favorite musical artist such as Michael Jackson's music, then when you go to bed and are in the process of falling asleep, your brain will take all that musical information it has heard and it will create whole new songs by Michael Jackson which are just as good and just as catchy as any other Michael Jackson song.  You will hear them pop up in your head when you are in the process of falling asleep since information tends to pop up in your mind during the sleeping process.
 
You can even make this process happen in your waking life by allowing your brain to focus on creating a whole new song and your brain will automatically create that song for you.  This can even apply to the best artists out there such as Beethoven.  In other words, you can create the next greatest songs by Beethoven in your own head.  The brain is an amazing organ and it is no problem for it to create the next greatest songs.  This is a very useful technique to create the greatest songs.
 
3.)  If you listen to a song on a pair of headphones and put the headphones down, then your brain will attempt to create a song out of all that vague muffled noise.  It will be a completely different song than the one that was actually there.  This is yet another technique to create new songs.
 
4.)  Lyrics don't always go with songs.  Some songs can sound sad, but have happy lyrics and vice versa.  You can feel a certain way about a song, but for that feeling to not always match up with the type of feeling that the lyrics themselves convey.  

All my songs sound backward. That's for the post!

If only I had something like that...

ANY combination of sounds does that. You do not need to do this in Audacity to find that out. Take a microphone on a cassette and walk down the busy street and pick up all the sounds and voices (do it on a supermarket) and you will find really quick what "background" and "backwards" is all about. 
 
YOU have no idea, yet! And stop Googling for your information! Consider listening to Bach instead. Probably one quarter of his stuff is backwards of something else. And you are what ... 400 to 500 years late on your evaluation?

MJ was well known to play with backwards to help create moods and feelings. Some of his yelps and screams arose out of an extended vocal feeling. There is no secret here, and you making an idea out of it, is distorting the work that went behind his pieces of music. He was very well known for fooling around in the studio until he found something, and backwards was not a secret. Different speeds backwards create the moods.
 
Perhaps you should look for a work that can be played in 33 1/2 and 45 on a LP. There is at least one, and it sounds magnificent both ways ... but you wouldn't know that?

Needs re-wording. Generally that song/sound stays with you like an echo and you can go with a bit, before the song deteriorates to your version, if you are capable of taking it that far. Most folks do not practice this "acting" detail. It is very helpful in teaching concentration.

4.)  Lyrics don't always go with songs.  
 

Your lack of psychic ability is astounding, when trying to learn something about music and the art of SONG. You could at least listen to some opera and learn other details before you say something like this. 
 
It has always been an imaginary ideal, with the exception that the media in the past 100 has tried to make us all think that what they think and sing IS true, and thus, the Stairway to Heaven is true and in fact, psychically it is not, but it is well designed to convey ... an imaginary situation. The lyrics make it much more so. Many folks do the opposite intentionally when they sing and sound cynical and weird. Bob Dylan is one example, although it's hard to not say he is dyslexic with music, or similar!
 
In general, for the past 500 years, the melody has created the vocals ... there are some notorious exceptions (Try Art Bears and Slap Happy for an education, or Henry Cow!) ... and a lot of modern "avant guard" music is created INTENTIONALLY to avoid even using anything like a "melody". But I am not sure that you have any kind of an ear for these things ... they would throw your ideas from here to Katmandu with some heavy duty dope!

Pedro is the perfect person to talk to this guy.

Nahhh ... too many ideas and so full of gunk ... and he's not going to college ... he's going to Google. He's not smart enough to go to college. A paper like that would get him flunked real quick! And probably have a professor tell him ... son, you don't belong in or around music! Maybe a machinist for the Auto Industry would be more satisfying!

Exactly. You and I both realise that Shakin' Stevens knew exactly what was going on behind The Green Door. It was a just a Dadaist metaphor for the same lost Romanticism that Haircut 100 sang about in Love Plus One - the stolen ideals of the psychic Golden Section. Folks around here don't get it though. You have to go all the way back to Edmundo Ross for a true free range experiment.

Wow, I didn't know that. I feel stupid now.
 
So.........you're saying that there wasn't really anyone playing the piano ?

There was, but they put the lid down first. Courtney Fish patented that method, she said that if the notes were already there (which they obviously were), no-one needed to play them.

 
It was staring me in the face all that time....

So what we have to remember is:
There is no piano?

Exactly.
 
 
 
Except when there is.

Or when I say there is. You know, alt-facts.

It's getting really stale Pedro. 

Yeah, stoopid Pedro and his stoopid saying/doing the same thing over and over and over....
 
 
 
 
 
 
and over and over and over.......
 
 
 
 
 
and over and over and over again..........
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Irony. That's a good word.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh wait......who's Pedro ?
