Maybe everybody knows, but FYI: if you play Nevaeh Ni Ecalp A in reverse mode, you could listen another version of A Place In Heaven, different from the other two.

Also, if you play every song ever recorded by anyone, backwards, you get an alternate version of that song!!!! Free bonus tracks galore!

Ah ah, true. But the A Place In Heaven "reversed" is really nice.

If you reverse the reversed version, you get another version. Winner winner chicken dinner.

I love this Nevaeh Ni Ecalp A

I reversed it on Audobe Audition and love the way it sounds. It inspired me to reverse "Darlin' Nikki", "Baby I'm a star" and "Girl" as well. Did I miss any?

Yup, did it too... the reversed Nevaeh Ni Ecalp A reversed is A Place in Heaven sung by Wendy & Lisa (without drums/percussion like in the Prince-version).

Btw... the book says the voices are by Wendy & Lisa. But are we sure? The high voice seems more Jill Jones

It is nice.

All it's missing is the Man from Another Place saying "Let's Rock" and Laura Palmer whispering into Agent Cooper's ear...

Brilliant reference. Also, the "Swedish bookstore scene" in Top Secret.

Cow Palace | San Francisco, CA - 27 February 1985 Darling Nikki Incl. The Dance Electric

there is a whole lot of backwards speech going on

here is one of many ways to hear it yourself

is this some kind of cult thing?

if so, then i would rather not be involved.

Does Modernaire count? Jill's backwards Shakespeare reading...

I remember seeing someone posted the reversed on wetransfer, but I was out of town and missed it.

I didn't realize Audacity is free. I'm considering downloading and trying to reverse the song myself. I'm not very technically competent, but I should be able to figure it out.

For those of that have downloaded Audacity, does it come with bundled with other "partner software"? I hate that crap.

It was a pain in the ass, but figured it out on Audacity. Beautiful rendition of the song. I titled it 'Nevaeh Ni Ecalp A placE iN heaveN'

In another thread @lustmealways provided the following instructions for using Audacity:

- import the file
- go to the effects tab
- select reverse
- then export it

Is that how you did it?

I downloaded the Audacity software, but when I imported the song file I got an error message saying Audacity doesn't support its format. I'd downloaded the digital edition from Apple so my file .m4a. Audacity telling me I need to covert it to a different format first, such as .wav. I gave up for the time being. My physical discs should arrive from Amazon tomorrow. I'll import the .wav from there and try it again.

I thought tonight that I want to reverse the little backwards guitar flourish near the end of "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker."

Shortberry Strawcake

Someone should really reverse it, then upload to YouTube.

On an unrealated note, it's a shame we can't share unofficial links here.

Import, save project. Then open project, effects, reverse, save. Then export.

I just did it. I didn't bother with "save project" step. I just reserved and then exported it.

With my first attempt the output file saved at a low bit rate (183 kbps). It took me a minute to figure out how to change those settings, but I was able to adjust the output to higher quality (320 kbps).

I'm glad I took the time to do this. I'm technically inept, but this was super simple.
