When watching Purple Rain recently my son and I took a section of music played by Prince on his tape deck in the basement, he says someone is crying but when you play it backwards it sounds like laughter...
If you play that part in the film in its surround sound format and remove the dialogue and sounds from the film you are left with just the song which you then play backwards...
Go away, I don't want to go to hell...
Lucifer we can hear you now...
Would you save your own life..
Go to hell...
I don't want to go to hell, I want to go to Heaven...
For me in the audio it sounds like Prince is a little boy who has asked for help perhaps in stopping his Father beating his Mother and now that his Father has shot himself and the suffering for his Mother will end he is scared of what Lucifer might expect of him. The voice in the audio telling him to 'Go to Hell' is that of a woman... Darling Nikki perhaps? Old Nik...? She offered him everything money could buy if he just signed his named on the dotted line... Sold his soul to the devil?
Lucifer, Old Nik, Satan are all the same thing... He was but a child asking for help in a traumatic situation and this was the little boy in him speaking.
My son had extracted the audio and found the extra layers hidden beneath. He has compiled the scene and the reversed version (at different speeds with some effects to make the vocal clearer)... Prince is still connected and surprising us, even after death. Enjoy x
