Title: Question about "Sway"
Post by: Dancernl on April 10, 2003, 07:22:44 pm: I am listening to BNN as usual tonight while doing homework, and at the beginning of Sway about 3 measures in I could swear I hear Vanessa whispering something....am I imagining it or is she really aying something? It's really faint, I can't make out one word of it but I honestly can say that it sounds like she whispers. Can anyone back me up?

huh?

I was there when VC was asked what she was whispering and she said it was nothing. It was just random whispers and they are cut up and what not. She told us it wasn't words, just snippets.

It was Paul that's dead, notice how he's dead with the barefeet.
John was "God", Ringo was the undertaker, & George was a... observer.

I love this! I used to read stuff on this "hoax" (or not bwahahahaha) all the time . . .

The people are looking at what appears to be a freshly dug grave.
The yellow flowers (directly below the flowers that spell Beatles) are in the shape of a bass guitar. Paul was the bass player for The Beatles.
There are three sticks on the yellow flowers that represent the strings of the bass. There are only THREE sticks to represent the THREE remaining Beatles.
Also, notice that the yellow flowers spell out 'PAUL?'; questioning Paul's existance.
The doll on the right of the cover (in the white, black, and red stripes) has a small white car, with a blood red interior, on her lap. This is a model of the car that Paul died in.
Direcly below the doll's left foot is a white vase with yellow flowers in it. If you look closely it resembles a car plummeting over a cliff with flames coming out of the back end.
Below the 'T' in Beatles is a statue of the Hindu God Shiva 'The Destroyer.' Its hand points directly to Paul.
Notice The Beatles standing behind the drum in the center of the photo. They are standing sideways except for Paul who is facing directly forward. John, Ringo, and George look *three dimensional* while Paul looks like one of the cardboard cutouts.
Paul is the only one holding a black instrument. Black is associated with death. This may seem insignificant now, but it turns up a few more times.
This is the first occasion where we see an open palm above Paul McCartney's head. There are many different theories as to what this signifies. It is generally taken to mean either that the person under the open palm will soon die or has recently passed away. As you will see, this turns up quite a few times.
Take a small mirror, or the bottom of a CD will work, and place it perpendicular to the center of the drum, so that you split 'LONELY HEARTS' in half. Now read the combined writing on the drum and the mirror. It says 1 ONE 1 X HE | DIE. '1 ONE 1' equals three, another reference to three Beatles. The 'X' crosses out Paul because he is no longer alive. And the arrow between 'He' and 'Die' points directly to Paul.
