Stories

I've realized how much I enjoy them. My dad can just go off for hours and I'll sit and listen and wish I were writing it all down. They're not even exciting stories, really, just stories. In general. Like how my dad's best friend showed up at their wedding with a baby carrier in one hand and a bottle of tequila in the other, how my dad put a tape recorder in his baby sister's closet at night to scare her, how my mom once nailed all the kitchen cupboards shut. I don't know. They're wonderful.

I was listening to Utada Hikaru's "Sanctuary" and I realized, if you look up the lyrics, it has several lines backwards, but it's not at all what the lines sound like in the song. So why is it, when you reverse a sound clip, it doesn't sound like all the words written backwards?
