This archive of REVERSED Garbage songs may need some explanation. Through experimentation with dangerous doses of boredom, I managed to stumble upon the magnificent piece of art that is Only Happy When It Rains played backwards. After discovering Garbage's tendency to sound really cool when played backwards, I proceeded to reverse a number of other Garbage songs. I have placed here - in .mp3 format - only what I find to be the best sounding backwards songs by Garbage. Some of them really do sound incredible once you get used to it.

NUMBER ONE RULE: You must put aside the fact that the lyrics are nonsensical and think of the vocals as simply another instrument (or assume Shirley is speaking a language you've never heard before).

And now, here are the goods...

Version 1.0 Reversed:

• sniaR tI nehW yppaH ylnO - on this one, listen for comprehensible lyrics ("you're in my eyes, you're in my soul")
• xoB s'revoL yM - starts out loud, careful with the volume

Version 2.0 Reversed:

• eniF oS kooL uoY - this still sounds incredible, even backwards
• rehtegoT peelS
• daeH yM nI gniremmaH
• bmuD

All tracks originally taken from Garbage's Garbage and Version 2.0
