Incidentally the key of a piece of music does not change simply because you are playing it backwards. If however, you change the speed it is played at, then it does. Does a movie make any sense if you watch it backwards? - no. Neither does music. Stop wasting time with this reverse rubbish. Rather invest the time listening to music naturally. It's a lot more fun and a lot more rewarding.
Funny how people who listen to music backwards always imagine demons, satanic verses and general mayhem and horror. Something wrong with the wiring there....??!!??
I know the piece does not change key simply because you play it backwards. I said I was perhaps envisioning the song being played backwards in a different key to convey the scenes/emotion I described. I also said earlier that songs played backwards do make sense and do convey emotions and scenes. An example I gave was the Ballad of the Goddess which is actually Zelda's Lullaby reversed. As you can see, a reversed song can become a whole new song that does tell a story that makes sense.
