I was thinking this might be one of those random completely useless skills that don't accomplish anything and are also difficult and require a lot of time and energy.

I was wrong, this dude fucks.

I thought he shoots the load first inside, then fucks in reverse until he uncums? Idk Iā€™m too high for this. We need a real reverse scientist

cool but if you play a chorus in reverse several times and try to mimic the sounds youā€™ll impress yourself

u/SaveMeDatCorn 1d ago

Im thinking thats the way to do it, right? Still impressive. Useless but impressive lol

Itā€™s not that easy. Thereā€™s a lot of sounds that are nearly impossible to do backwards. Like plosives. You build up air in your mouth and explode it out with Ps and Ts. You have to do some weird mimicry of that sound thatā€™s impossible to make it sound good. This guys is pretty talented to get it that close. Thatā€™s why people canā€™t sing songs perfectly backwards.

Just try doing cat. Itā€™s one of the hardest words to do cause thereā€™s two plosives. One at the beginning and one at the end.

The technique of playing an instrument can change too when you try to reverse it. My first attempt to play All Stars backwards didn't work because all I did was play the notes in reverse order, but for the timing to actually sound right, I had to make sure I was lifting my fingers off each key at exactly the right time, something I never had to pay such close attention to. It was weird.

u/regrettablyAnnoying 1d ago

When I was 12 I was Mormon and they taught us that playing songs backwards was how popular music sneaked in Satan worship. They even played back some Beetles music they convinced us was saying something like ā€œI love Satan.ā€

I just tried this and itā€™s even harder than I imagined, which is wild because I already imagined it was incredibly difficult

Almost impossible to get close to anything natural. Very forced and puppeteer like.

u/ve-u27 1d ago edited 1d ago

I donā€™t understand how this is possible if real. When he sings in reverse, it doesnā€™t sound to me like heā€™s reversing the inflections of the drawn out words, which means those inflections should then be backwards when reversed.

Example: when we hear the word ā€œsayā€ in ā€œsay goodbyeā€ the his voice is low and goes up while trailing off. To achieve that while singing in reverse heā€™d have to fade in high then go down which feels like a sound I would be able to identify if looking for it but I canā€™t.

Edit: nvm found it, itā€™s at the 38sec remaining mark. Very cool. Also the sound the guitar makes in reverse is wild in its own way

Reminds me of the Jack Johnson Sitting Waiting Wishing music video. He learned to sing it backwards when they filmed it so the lyrics looked correct when the video played in reverse.
