I don't like getting sappy, but this is beautiful. For those who don't know, this is the final song in an album about the plight of a man framed for murder, and tortured because of it. The previous song is him dying in the wilderness, and this is what comes after. That's putting it briefly, listen to the full album, I promise it's worth it. But, the reason it's got me so emotional is it's context. It sounds like the ideal afterlife, exactly as I hoped it would, a relief and an apology and a little bit of paradise, maybe not perfect, but good. It's calming, I worry a lot about my mortality, and to have just the slightest dream of something like this is wonderful. Maybe that's not what it means, but when I hear it, I simply can't help but have a little hope. Now hopefully nobody I know sees this lol

Facts

[@pinwarainamza3955]

But sometimes our brain could just play bad things too, And now new research suggests the brain is incredibly active as a person dies. Researchers have seen highly organized gamma waves in the brain in the last moments of life. These waves are linked to higher brain functions such as memory, cognition, and attention Studies suggest that brain activity may continue several minutes after a person has been declared dead. Still, brain activity isn't the same as consciousness or awareness, But in the several minute, the brain could show the worst memory or the best

[@pastaparty1520]

@@NAFProjects oh.

[@nyannibalism]

@@NAFProjects well, inevitably he does find his girlfriend, as the common theory and interpretation is that the first part of *Dream Sweet in Sea Major* is Simon dying at sea after falling for the "siren's song" (allusion to desire, as siren's sing a song of what the listener desires,) and drowning. Snow is seen as a sign of purity, so the line "wishing we were snow" could be a hint that the "siren's song" that Simon fell for was the desire to be pure, especially after the torment that he has been through in the earlier tracks (especially The Mind Electric, which is about Simon's descent into insanity after electric shock therapy to try to "cure" Simon of an insanity that he didn't have in the first place). The second part (the shortest part) is with Simon being brought to the afterlife, where joy itself mirages a kingdom of where nothing is at stake, and being able to be happy again after being tortured after being accused of murdering his girlfriend. The third part is at last, Simon being united with his girlfriend, in a realm higher than the stars, where everything is clear, beautiful, and pure. It's the end of Simon's journey, for he reached his destination, and has finally all the joy he could ask for, and the purity of which he wished for. The end of this part is of Simon reminiscing about Hawaii, and how even though it was torture to him, it was beautiful in the end. It is likely that the paradise Simon and his girlfriend are in was based off the beauty that is the tropics of Hawaii, and they will be "atoning" (taken from the song) in between the continuum of space-time, for the time that they could have had in Hawaii.

My personal interpretation of this song is that Simon (actually he doesn't have a name but Simon is the only name we ever get in the album soooo) is alive the entire time. You could say "But he meets his girlfriend at the end!". But I think he's hallucinating the entire time. You see, he's in Hawaii, where it gets pretty dang hot. Combine that with dehydration (which he is, he never brought any water, he just ran out of the infirmary), that means hallucinations. And since he's actually insane, it means he gets hallucinations from 2 different sources. So he's hallucinating about his girlfriend the entire time. Why does this matter? Why do I think this? Because at the end of the song, we hear a rhythm getting louder and louder, which I think is Simon's heartbeat. We hear waves crashing over him, and then the song suddenly ends. Because he dies at the end. edit: holy shit this is a long comment edit 2: nice

[@junedere9810]

This interpretation is really lovely and interesting!

[@Liscinov]

I'd say that at some point during the song, he gets killed by either the sirens mentioned in the beginning, or just plain starvation and dehydration. And the parts where it seems like he's speaking to someone is when he finally dies and goes to heaven, to reunite with his dead girlfriend.

2:11-2:32 In all honesty, my favourite part is when he starts speaking French, it just gives off this vibe I can’t explain. My second favourite is definitely 4:18-5:02, especially the piano key smash in it.

[@SolciteGuy]

My favorite part about those parts, are that they are references to previous songs in the the album (Hawaii: Part ii). The French comes form "Space Station Level 7" and the mashing (I think) comes from "Murders". A song full of leitmotifs makes (imo) one of the best songs. Period.

[@aila.111]

This sounds different when you're insane and you're crying uncontrollably. When you're anxious and know that something's wrong, but you don't know what. It's like a literally dream, but at a Disney movie. It's just so lonely here... This song sounds like this: loneliness. You're alone watching the calm and major sea while you're reflecting about something very specific, special and important in your own life, like the past, people you love, moments, fake scenarios and more and more moments. Over and over again. It's a melancholy song. Neither happy nor sad, or the two at once. It's like a Christmas song (because the tone and the snowing and belling effect like "jingle bell rock") that plays at the end of a family and friends movie, but it's indie and either sounds so classical. I love this aesthetic, because it also feels like we're outside, breathing the cold air while the sea it's humming in front of us and this music is playing in the background. It's like you're happy, but terrified at the same time, because you're dreaming, but you're dying. Or maybe you're not dying, but you feel like you are. Your body is not heavy anymore, you feel flying in the dark sky, above the sea, while the lune is shining already knowing what's happening to you. You feel like you can't feel anything else but a insupportable comfort feeling. You're slowly losing control of your own body and your consciousness, therefore you're a suicidal that is satisfied and slight for the first time of you life. It's so cosmic because you feel like you're at the edge of the whole universe, like you're a lost astronaut, marveling the absurdity and wonderful things outside of our planet. You're at the edge of the universe, at the edge of the death and you'll never be remembered ever again. You can easily rink in sync with this song playing back at the credit of the end of the world and I can easily associated it with the music "electric mind" of its album, like it's the final breath of the electrocuted protagonist. He's going to heaven, to the paradise, because he had a good heart. Sorry about my English, though...

Hawaii Part II is an amazing album, I never listen to albums in its entirety, and when I do, I had something in the background, but this is the first album I’ve actually just sat there and listen, seeing the lyrics, and following the story people have said it’s about. It’s more poetic that once this song ended, my Spotify crashed, and it didn’t let me reopen it. Man, Tally Hall and it’s members haven’t failed to make great music (Update: i initially wrote this after my first hearing, and my experience with this album has only gotten better. It’s THE album I go to if I want to draw, which is pretty great as before I never really drawn for a long while. Also, the songs are just really good, I can’t help to replay them multiple times.

[@yogurtofthemultiverse2200]

Just before you sit down underneath the dying tree, you brush off the grass. _Sorry, habit,_ you apologize to no one-- after all, everything has already died. From bacteria to bushes to boars, everything that once lived no longer does. You sit up, staring into space, holding your blanket tight to your shoulders, and you lay against the weak, decaying oak. Everything's so cold. You're not even sure how you're alive. Everything had just dropped dead and you were the last one standing. You give a weak, dry chuckle. Your blood would probably turn to ice if you weren't careful-- so you sat back and closed your eyes. You remembered a song you heard once that reminded you of this feeling-- you couldn't remember what the band was called. Musical Miracles or something like that. Either way, you remembered the lyrics. They stuck with you for some reason-- maybe it was subconscious, or cosmic fate, or whatever the hell. Who knows. "Alone at the edge of a universe, humming a tune..." It really did feel like you were at the edge of the universe. Everything else is gone, and you stare up into the stars as if nothing is wrong... "For merely dreaming we were snow..." Oh, it would be beautiful to see any motion other than your own. Snow had stopped falling days ago... "A siren sounds like the goddess who promises endless apologies of paradise..." A siren sounds far from you-- a weather siren, probably activated automatically as a monthly test. Maybe this really was fate... "And only she can make it right..." A voice sounds from the siren. 'Hello! Quickly, if anyone can hear this, run to this siren and i'll meet you there!' "So things are different tonight.~" Maybe things would be okay. Even at the edge of a universe.
