Kinda cool/creepy.

Secret message in the Pink Floyd Song Empty Spaces

From Wikipedia:

"Directly before the lyrical section, there is a hidden message. It is isolated on the left channel of the song. When heard normally, it appears to be nonsense. If played backwards, the following can be heard:

-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.[1]

It is believed that this backward message is a comical reference to former lead singer/guitarist Syd Barrett. The very beginning, which is hard to hear, is disputed: Roger Waters congratulates either a girl named Luka, or 'hunters' (i.e. people who deliberately look for backward messages hidden in songs) for finding this message, and jokes that she (or they) can send her (or their) answer to Syd (the 'Old Pink'), who lives somewhere in a funny farm (a term to describe a Psychiatric hospital) in Chalfont. Before he can tell the exact location, however, he gets interrupted by someone (James Guthrie) in the background who says Carolyn (Waters' wife) is on the phone. The Message can also be interpreted as part of the narrative of The Wall, perhaps foreshadowing Pink's insanity."

This scared the shit out of me. I was alone listening to this song backwards at 2 AM and one of my lights went out and flickered then came back on again.

@LizMetallicaHetfield To make a song play backwards, you can also use the program called: Audacity. You record yourself then go into Effects (I think) and it says "Reverse" or something like that.

@jackkemel This message has anothing to do with the old testament , it was a secret message for fans to discover and get free tickets to one of only 4 or 5 "Wall Shows" played aROUND THE WORLD . Sorry , no satanic message here , boo hoo .
