1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: This guy has quite a talent, and you'll find him

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: on the internet. His name's Joel James and he sings

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: songs backwards.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: How are you, buddy?

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: Great, How are you good? To talk to you?

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: When did you realize you had this incredible talent?

8
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 3: It was just a thought at the time, you know,

9
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: for social media purposes, you're going to do something a

10
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 3: little bit different to get noticed sometimes, of course, and

11
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: I just thought, what if I was to sing a

12
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: song backwards and then have the audio flip and let's

13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: see if it was accurate. It turns out it's winner.

14
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: The first song I did was song two by Blur yep,

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 3: so it's probably the easiest song to sing backwards, to

16
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: be honest.

17
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: You could know the back.

18
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Masking in the seventies and eighties where they were playing

19
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: Yeah and Zeppelin songs backwards, and it all usually had

20
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: satanic messages.

21
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: I got a lot of comments of people saying, this

22
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 3: guy summoning a demon in my room and things like that.

23
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: And you've had attention from all over the world, I believe, Yeah,

24
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: it's gone well.

25
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: Like honestly, I've spent pretty much my entire adult life,

26
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: you know, with social media and working on my music

27
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: and I gig every weekend. Like in Melbourne, I'm working

28
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: all the time, but on social media, nothing's ever stuck.

29
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: And then I did this. I've never seen anything like it.

30
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: I had to mute the notifications of my social apps

31
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: because at one point it was bang, bang bang bang.

32
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: This is everything I've dreamed of, right, if only if

33
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: it was my original music.

34
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: Sure, by the way, it's original music.

35
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: Have you played any songs backwards live at a gig

36
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: and had a couple of people come up to you

37
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: my whalla then understood every word of that.

38
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: But it's not the same because you'll do it and

39
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: then everyone just has to take your wed for it

40
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: because it's not like you can flip the audio back.

41
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: There'll be one guy coming up to you. Hang on

42
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: a second, it's not turned me on, dead man. Have

43
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,560

Speaker 1: of tune?
