Hawaii: Part II - A Musical Mystery

What's going on peeps! After diving into the depths of Tally Hall, we're now embarking on a journey into the captivating world of Miracle Musical, a side project born from the creative minds of former Tally Hall members. If you enjoyed my breakdown of Tally Hall's allure, buckle up because we're about to unravel the mysteries of Miracle Musical, also known as ミラクルミュージカル in Japanese. Formed by Joe Hawley in 2012, with Ross Federman and Bora Karaca joining the musical expedition, Miracle Musical emerged as a highly anticipated endeavor following the release of "Good & Evil."
With only one album under their belt titled "Hawaii: Part II," Miracle Musical sparked intrigue with its eclectic mix of genres and thought-provoking themes. As the echoes of Tally Hall's final show faded into hiatus, Joe, Ross, and Bora embarked on a sonic journey infused with Joe's fascination for musicals and inspired by a serendipitous encounter with a book about Hawaii. From the depths of the studio, "Hawaii: Part II" emerged, a genre-defying masterpiece that transcends boundaries and explores themes ranging from outer space to love and mortality.
So join me as we uncover the secrets of Miracle Musical, unraveling its mysteries one melody at a time. Hit that subscribe button, like if you're ready for more deep dives, and let's embark on this musical odyssey together. Until next time, peace out, and remember to spread love like confetti!

[@DaddyCloyster]

Funnily enough, this is actually the LEAST famous interpretation. Most fans agree that Variations On A Cloud is the only song that has to do with 9/11 and that the album tells a completely separate story set in the 60s about a man with schizoprenia and/or ptsd who goes insane and kills his wife

[@SnailTheNail]

I love the sudden break to listen to the Alvin and the Chipmunks. This was such a crazy and cool analysis, even if I feel like it's a lot of grasping at straws and over analyzing. But it's so cool that Hawaii: Part II is so filled with story and mystery that something like this video can be made. I think this is by far the best attempt to explain both the confirmed 9/11 themes in the album while also not forgetting the very obvious love story in the album.

[@swop6750]

I love the many different ways that this album can be interpreted, i don't really like your theory all that much but it's really cool that you could find a way to see the story like this even if i don't agree

[@beetlebat]

@@swop6750 of course we agree to disagree

[@gavinloewe3647]

If you were going to do another Tally Hall video or just want to listen to more of their music. I would suggest either Sketches 3D by Edu (the name Andrew released music under) or Cojum Dip by Cojum Dip (Bora’s band). While there is anything made by a member of Tally Hall that lives up to the greatness of MMMM, G&E, or Hawaii pt. II imo, those are my favorite post TH projects. Sketches 3D is a great relaxing album despite its slightly disturbing production. Andrew described it best as intimate and I wholeheartedly agree. The song Hummingbird is one of my favorite songs of all time and has really helped me deal with things like anxiety. Cojum Dip is a surprisingly great fusion of Metal and Jazz. The biggest fault of the album is that the music is definitely meant to be seen performed live so listening to a recorded version of it is really only half of the experience. Best song from it is called Moon Waltz. As for the other two post TH projects, Joe Hawley Joe Hawley by Joe Hawley definitely has some highlights but the rapping isn’t the best and it has one or two songs that I would straight up call mid or just bad. The use of sampling is very unique though and it’s for sure worth a listen. Rob Cantor’s Not a Trampoline has its fans and I will say that I do always enjoy it more while I’m listening but it’s just good. Production wise, you can tell that it was an album made in the 2010s and not always in the best ways. Definitely worth a try though.

"then fell below" i think this line means the half of the tower falling down and killing them as you said and in the song mind electric when the song was reversed you can hear a really muffled talking and that refers to the coma you said the talking is at the 16th second

[@VurtialRoblox]

I think this theory is awesome! I have my little own theory, so if you wanna see it. Click read more Simon and his girlfriend were doing normal until murders, Simon and his girlfriend were in the forest, and the figure murders his girlfriend. In space station level seven, this is his girlfriend going to heaven. Next is my personal favorite, Mind Electric. This takes place when the police show up to the crime scene and think Simon caused the murder, they send him in to shock therapy, leading to the last quarter of the song. Also, I think that the first half of his song is his mind filled with grief, so he can’t think straight. Labyrinth is a special case, he is in a dream, and trying to escape the prison he is in. And when he sees his lover, he wakes up. Leading to Time Machine, I think this is him breaking out of this prison and when he escapes, it leads to the outro, just like mind electric his mind is fogged up and he can’t think straight. On Stranded Lullaby, I think this would be him in a boat, escaping to a far away place, and he looks up to his lover being alone in heaven, and the voice is him being sleep deprived and tired from the shock therapy, the next track his him just at sea with him thinking it is all his thought. Bringing us to the last track, the boat sinks in and he goes to heaven, reuniting with his lover.
