z1inspector Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Did anyone else notice that Plant sings his "spooky" solo song "Slow Dancer" (with the same speed & timing changes) the same way to what you hear when you hear Stairway BACKWARDS? (NO im not an advocate of any backward "messages") it almost sounds like hes singing in a unknown language because he's Surley NOT singing the lyrics that are posted. & ITS NOT A LANGUAGE known to "man". hmmm......wonder what slow dancer sounds like backwards?

reswati Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 The lyrics don't sound reversed to me at all, but just plain simple English. They are buried a bit deep in the mix. Try googling for the lyrics, some versions are good enough to understand what is being sung. Quote

Try googling for the lyrics, some versions are good enough to understand what is being sung. i agree they DONT sound reversed ,however the studio version is as much a strech as making words out of what you hear when playing stairway backwards AND oddly enuf with the SAME TYPE OF TIME PAUSES & RESTARTING IN MID VERSE not unlike STH sounds backwards.

reswati Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Personally I don't think that Robert has listened to STH backwards and that this inspired him to write this song then. Slow Dancer sounds more like a little brother of Kashmir to me, including the arab-like vocalisms. Quote
Dallas Knebs Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 first song our band covered off of Pictures at Eleven maybe if we had listened to it backwards we could have done a better job of it live. Our singer sang to clearly, didn't have three layers of slap-back delay and he was up in the mix... best I recall we probably didn't do it more than a dozen times. As fun as it was to play musically, it was not going to be a fixture in the rotation. Still a little disappointed. We wore out the LP trying to figure out the words. Gad that was frustrating. Quote

I bet it was hard, i would love to hear a recording of ANYONE covering it, impressed that u even tried,sounds complicated ,but SUCH an amazing song! Quote

Slow Dancer sounds more like a little brother of Kashmir to me, including the arab-like vocalisms. i dont think he did either,but things have a way of chaneling through! its sung in a VERY other dimensional sort of way weather he was aware of the effect or not idk ,BUT I LOVE IT!

DavidZoso Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Burning Down One Side - now those lyrics are hard to distinguish IMO- I mean I have seen the lyrics written out but how Robert sings what is typed lol Quote
Dallas Knebs Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Burning Down One Side We almost came to blows arguing about the lyrics. When the songbook was released we realized each of us missed it a lot and sang it incorrectly for months. Not one person caught it. She's playing hookey with my heart.... we got about 90% of the lyrics right. First line great... Spotty after that. It was like a muddy Fool in the Rain sound. Quote

z1inspector Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 are you sure? i mean thats the obvious answer however i thoght he was being a little mysterious about it all ?,(or just being silly i guess) Robbie Blunt. But I don't think it was much of a mystery really. Quote

I remember people arguing about who it was. Quote
