Have you ever wondered what might be the meaning behind the songs of rock legends? There are many artists who have wanted to reserve themselves and let the audience deduce the hidden message that is in their spectacular songs. We reveal some of them, which you surely hadn’t seen before. (Through: Ultimate-guitar)
Pink fluid
On occasion “Big Concert in the Sky” by Pink Floyd, at 3:35, if you listen very closely you may hear someone say “if you hear whispers, you’re dying”. You will have to listen very carefully because the words are whispered.
in the album ‘The wall’the opening theme, “In the Flesh”begins with a voice saying “…we entered…”. It doesn’t make much sense until you couple it with another fact. The last words of the album are the same voice saying: “Isn’t this where…?“. So, if you put the album in a constant loop, the phrase “Isn’t that where we come in?” will be the exact point where the album begins its repeat.
Horn
On Korn’s 1999 album, ‘issues’, there is a song called “I’m going crazy?”, where strange background noises are heard. those annoying noises they are the same song, played backwards.
The cockroaches
At the end of the vinyl version of the Beatles masterpiece, ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’there’s a high frequency note which was added to the album’s second side release groove. The frequency is 18 kilocycles per second, which makes it too loud for humans to hear. But the note falls right in the hearing range of most dog breeds. So if your dog perks up at the end of ‘Sgt. Pepper’, that’s why.
Robbie Williams
Many artists have hidden songs at the end of their album, adding them after the last song and noticeable silence. Robbie Williams was famous for doing this with some regularity. On his 2000 album “Sing When You Win”the last song, “The Road to Mandalay”, presents some 25 minutes of absolute silence before Robbie’s voice says: “No, I’m not going to do anything on this album” before the argument ends.
Beastie Boys
the jet wing from the iconic cover of “License to Get Sick” from The Beastie Boys carries a flight indicator of “3MTA3” which reads backwards as “Eat me.” smart guys.
Another common place artists hide messages is in engraving messages on the runes from vinyl records. Posted by Sub Pop, in according to 7 from Nirvana’s 1988 single “Hum of Love” you may read “Why don’t you trade those guitars for shovels?” (Why don’t you trade those guitars for paddles?). Also, in the according to 7 from “Immigrant’s Song” of Led Zeppelin read “Do What You Will Will Be the Whole Law”a quote from the famous occultist Aleister Crowley. the four faces of “London Calling” from The fight encouraged fans to “break”, “break down”, “i”, “walls”. vinyl record “Give me comfort or give me death” from Dead Kennedy proclaimed “Skull is the Smiling Face of the 80s” on the one hand and “Dolphins are better anarchists than people”. After covering his low key funk ballad “If You Want Me to Stay” in his album ‘bad style’produced by George Clinton, the Hot red chillies paid tribute to one of their heroes, Crafty stone, to scratch “To Sly with Love” in the eccentricity of side A.
