There are many accusations of subliminal messages being used in music. Whether they are true or not is open to debate but let's take a quick look at how they can be used: Often the best way to "hide" a message is to leave it "hiding" directly in plain sight. We're quite good at ignoring the blindingly obvious! So all of those songs about romance are probably already sending a message to you about how you should behave with your partner and what will happen if you don't toe the line. Next up are the songs with double meanings that so many record lyrics have. Sometimes this is a game to see just how far the radio stations can be pushed. If you're old enough to remember the controversy about songs such as "Relax" from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, you'll remember that this was full of all sorts of sexual innuendos. These double meanings can be a very easy way to plant a subliminal message in a song, again with it being almost in plain sight. Another way to embed a subliminal message in music is by playing it backwards. This is harder to spot and can be handily denied by the band concerned. In fact, this kind of denial can even help music sales - rebellious teenagers are likely to buy a track if they think their parents would disapprove. Even with todays software, it's not an easy task to decipher whether or not a music track contains a hidden backwards message. If you can't be sure where a track originated, then you may be open to subliminal messages being hidden in the music you've just downloaded from that file sharing site. If the track doesn't come from a trusted site like iTunes or a CD you've purchased, then who knows what has happened to it? Just because lots of people are offering the track for download doesn't mean it hasn't had an extra subliminal message added to it. Some groups will hide a subliminal message in their music for fun. They may hint at it on their mySpace page or they could issue a challenge in the form of a press release to encourage fans to hunt for the hidden message. Anyone qualifying by finding the message may be entered in a draw for merchandise or concert tickets. It's all in good humor and the extra publicity doesn't hurt either.
