An anti-torture song? - classicdrogn - 01-25-2006

I don't have a lyrics link handy - just thgouht of it as I was heading for the sack - but madonna's Live to Tell sruck me as a possible power song for hiding information - specifiy a certain set of knowledge as it's played and a time to stop hiding it, and after the end of the song all the subject (probably limited to Doug himself without metasong use) has a vague idea of what kind of information is being hidden and roughly when it will be revealed, but it can't even be accesed by telepathy, not even details of what sort of sevret is hidden - frex, "plans" but not whether they're plans for a microchip, a steam engine, or a surprise party.
Whether he lives to convey the information to whoever it was meant for, like the song says, well... that's up to him and his backup.

Madonna - Live To Tell Lyrics
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
Chorus:
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
(chorus)
2nd Chorus:
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
(chorus)
(2nd chorus)
Looking at it again, it could well be a targeted effect as well as Useable On Self.
