There’s always controversy it is suggested that musicians have included subliminal messages in their songs, however the truth is that subliminal messages songs have been around for decades. People worry that the bands are using thee hidden messages to influence our minds.

There have been claims for decades of rock bands backmasking subliminal messages in their popular tracks. Originally, it all started with Led Zeppelin when it was discovered that there were satanic messages if you played their hit song Stairway to Heaven backwards. Since then similar messages have been found in various songs from artists from every musical genre possible - from country to rock, and dance to pop.

If you were playing the song forwards on your CD player you would never notice the suggestions. It is only when you reverse the track that the hidden messages are revealed. This may sound harmless..

But your mind brain being the complex and powerful computer it is, can recognise even these reversed messages and process them deep within your subconscious mind. This is done without your knowledge as it is your subconscious only which is able to “hear” them. It is capable of picking up on information your conscious mind isn’t.

So this information still makes it’s way to into your mind without your knowing. Now this could be harmless if the messages are just put in for fun, but do you really want subliminals which promote:

  • Devil worship and satanism entering your mind as in some pink floyd tracks and Led Zeppelin.
  • Do you want hidden sexual messages being sent to your brain by Britney?
  • Even Queen have hidden messages recommending the use of Marajuan.

Michael Jackson subliminals seem harmless enough, he seems to talk about how upset he is, but still, are these negative thoughts that you want in your mind?

The subliminal messages didn’t stop there - everyone from Britney, to Michael Jackson, from Queen, to Madonna have used them, and even Disney has jumped on the bandwagon with their movies and songs! You can view the original stairway to heaven subliminal messages here.

It is a shame that musicians don’t use beneficial messages in their music - subliminals help you in life, perhaps to aid your memory or your learning potential. Maybe this is the future… but I doubt it.
