hello friend-friends!
i'm writing in a description of a video of all places because i don't want zam to find this
zam has been keeping me "under restraint" because zam thinks i'm gonna mess up some endeavours!
in a light of loathing under fire i take it upon myself to inform your squalor that i wouldn't mess anything up!
why does zam even keep me around anymore if i'm that worthless of a detrimental thingy?
i know this is kinda turning into a soliloquy at this point but i mean seriously??
anyways if you see this be sure to say hi to me in the comment section and we can have a chat if you'd like
okay i'm gonna go now but i'll see ya guys soon!
bye!

[@morganalexandra6236]

First thing: all the songs are intertwined with each other, you hear bits of songs in other songs, you don’t realize it until you actually listen to each individual song, and I freaking love that. Second: not only are they connected because they share lyrics and instrumentals and etc, they almost tell a story. This is what i came up with: Introduction to the Snow: the scene is set and we are introduced to the story. Isle Unto Thyself: the main character is introduced. Black Rainbows: The main character’s love interest is introduced. White Ball: Our main guy and the love interest meet and hit it off. Murders: Something happens to the love interest, either our main guy or someone else kills the girl and our protagonist is blamed for the crime. Space Station 7: The girl goes to the after life The Mind Electric: Our protagonist is put on trial, to try and get out of it scot free, he claims insanity, but this just makes things worse, because he is treated with electric therapy, making him actually go insane. Labyrinth: Protagonist is stuck thinking about everything he’s done, he feels trapped in and endless labyrinth. Time Machine: Protagonist begins to think about how badly he wants to go back to fix his mistakes. Stranded Lullaby: Somewhere in between Time Machine and now, our protagonist gets on a ship, going who knows where, and is now lost at sea. Dream Sweet in Sea Major: Story comes to an end when our protagonist is killed at sea by sirens, finally able to join his lover in the afterlife.

[@brecoldyls]

Like seriously, what the heck is this? I recently found Dream Sweet in Sea Major in my recommended playlist, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The thing that's bothering me though is that this whole album doesn't seem to be extremely popular, yet it seems that a lot of effort was put into producing it and that most of it is of a markedly higher quality than its popularity would suggest. Also what's with the morse code and binary? Why the mystery? I just feel like this whole album is quite unlike most music that I've heard, and deserves to be more popular than it is.

[@someguy1855]

So uh, here's my best attempt to answer all your questions. First, the binary and codes. That stuff has nothing to with this, just the channel that posted the album, a comment here (and its replies) by Josh Porter basically explains it (That comment was the only reason why I knew somewhat). Anyways, the album is a side music project made by Joe Hawley. The japanese in the name translates to "Miracle Musical", the band's name. Joe Hawley worked previously in the band Tally Hall (it's on a very long hiatus), which has music quite similar to Miracle Musical, I recommend it (Joe even got some of the other Tally Hall members to work on Hawaii Part II with him). Most of the other members of Tally Hall have also made their own independent music projects as well, but I haven't check out any of their stuff yet so I don't know much about it. As for popularity, I have no idea. I would've never found Hawaii Part II if I hadn't been listening to Tally Hall's music, so I guess casual fans of Tally Hall would have never known Joe was making this, and then they never found out. Or the japanese makes it less seen (Space Station Level 7's name was in japanese, and of course the band name too) But it seems like the album is becoming more popular recently just judging by comments on the single songs. (By the way, "Variations On a Cloud" one more song by Miracle Musical, but it's not part of the Hawaii album).

[@jonhollister5239]

I agree with pretty much all of what you wrote the music is dreamy and yet tense, beautiful and dissonant, alternately accessible and abstruse. And certainly it is of incredibly high quality and detail all the way through. As a recording engineer myself who records and mixes albums I can tell you that the amount of time spent recording this was likely 6+ months, if not a year (though the artist's time is obviously split between music and things like working a job). But my point is if you listen to just one of the songs you're listening to the labor of love over the course of several months for sure! Alas, quality and/or time spent putting your heart into something do not correlate particularly closely in our world, a real shame. Certainly noone I've ever known has heard or heard-of of this album; someone would have passed me a recommendation seeing as it is exactly my specific sort of peculiar =) I, too, wish quality and popularity correlated more closely, and perhaps some day they will... educating people about what is good music helps us get there so it's always a good thing to try and do!

Literally the same, I was listening to the Love like you reprise (from Steven Universe) and this was a recommended video. At first, because of the Japanese name, I thought it was Vaporwave.

It annoys me that no one talks about the lyrics "hate me hate me not oh wait they forgot" in murders. They changed the word forget to hate, forget-me-not is a flower that represents true love and remembering someone.

[@we-must-live]

the line between hate and love is a very thin one

[@JaxsonGalaxy]

The play on the game of plucking petals off a flower and saying the words "love me, love me not," being swapped into the negative is devastating. There is no chance for love, only hate, or not-hate, which leaves open only the full range of negative emotions that aren't hate.

I am amazed by the fact that even in reverse, The Mind Electric has a distinct melody. That might partly stem from the fact that this artist often writes melodies that run in long chains with few obvious line breaks (something I love). Anyway, just my little rant about the reverse part having its own lovely (albeit unsettling) melody, something that reversing songs doesn't often do.

[@blakebrockhaus347]

Mind electric is extraordinarily high quality. It is the only song where I believe that EVERY note and effect it used to amazing effect. Most reversed songs sound like jumbled messes, but mind electric has distinct parts and melodies that make it a joy to listen to both ways.

[@twrk139]

You're blindsiding yourself. It (mostly) sounds just like any other song you would put in reverse, with the addition of having less harmonic sounds here and there that feel unsettling in reverse, and some already reversed tunes in the normal version that appear normal when reversed. You can try however much you want to make a song sound good both normally and in reverse, but it just doesn't work. For a good tune there are the other 10 ones which just don't sound good (in reverse). For example, the first few words starting at 24:21. Observe how they sound a little "off", as the pitch itself has been reversed. If you don't look for it, you don't notice it, because the tune after those few words are melodious ("made it through the night", even there you can't hear the t in night for a reason). In reverse, however, the melodic part sounds awful, and the "off" part sounds just a little nice. Most of the mind electric is made this way, quietly reversing some pitches while leaving the words and most of the tune alone. In reality, it's just worse.

Joe Hawley really is the scariest and an amazing artist I have the honor of knowing. Imagine being able to connect an entire plot line of a sailor who met a girl, had a date in the forest where his girlfriend was murdered, being prosecuted for presumably murdering his girlfriend then trying to plead for insanity for a lesser sentence, but having it backfire on him by getting electro shock therapy, then being stuck in an asylum until he is free, then tries to look for his girlfriend, but since his memories are so jumbled that he mistakes her voice for a siren, crashing into said siren, and meeting his girlfriend in heaven by loosely adding small pieces of very specific lines into a song with many random words, and just posting it in a video where the viewers managed to piece together a theory that I wouldn’t even consider with lyrics. It’s just amazing how limitless his creative capability can be. One day he could make really funny and random stuff that’s just weird all around like Crazy Food, Your Mother Is A Basketball, and Black People White People, and then make stuff like Hawaii Part II and Bryng Her Along. He’s just a funny, normal dude, who just makes music, and that’s what really gets me. With that kind of stuff, he would be a musical genius. (Not saying that Joe Hawley isn’t, he’s awesome!) Like he would be SEEN as a musical genius. But he isn’t seen as that. He’s seen as a funny, random guy with cheekbones. That’s the reason why Joe is the scariest but talented artist.

I have finally figured out the complete story/theory about this album. The story revolves around a young man, believed to be 17, called Simon. His name is never stated but it is mentioned in the demos to the album. He sails to Hawaii, referring to the album name. His reason for sailing there isn’t clear but, we can assume it's part of his job as a sailor or because he wanted to start a new chapter to his life. There he meets a woman. Her name is never stated. They both fall madly in love and are happy. Until, Simon’s beloved gets murdered in a forest during a date. The reason for the murder is not known but, we do know that she goes to heaven (obviously but there is a whole song based on it-). Simon is blamed for the murder and is put on trial. He tries to plead insanity in hopes of being let off easy but, this only makes things worse. He is sent to an asylum to treat his “insanity”. They treat him with electro shock therapy. This truly drives him insane and his memories are all jumbled up. He is scared and feels like he’s trapped in a labyrinth that he cannot escape. He revisits his memories and wishes he could go back in time to be with his lover. He is finally let out of the asylum, freeing him of his torture. He seems to have forgotten about the death of his lover and sails off to sea to find her. Mentally unstable and unprepared, he becomes lost at sea. He misses his lover so dearly, he hopes they can meet again. We finally get to Dream Sweet in Sea Major. He mistakes the voice of a siren for the voice of his lover and crashes his boat and drowns. He sings about how lovely his lover is going to look and how much time they’ll spend together in one of the sections of the song. In another section, Simon is finally reunited with his lover in heaven and they sing goodbye to the audience. The final section of the song (the instrumental after Bye, Hi. Sigh, Hawaii.) is a bit hard to understand but, I believe that it means that this “happy ending” isn’t as happy after all. Simon did end up with his lover but, he experienced the death of his true love, torture, insanity, loneliness, and finally, death. Every major point of this album is also pinpointed to a song. “Introduction to the Snow”, “Isle Unto Thyself”, and “Black Rainbows” set the scene for our story by introducing the characters and location. Simon falling in love is connected to “White Ball". “Murders” shows his lover being murdered and “Space Station Level 7” representing his lover going to heaven. Him being put on trial and being condemned to the infirmary is pinpointed to "The Mind Electric". “Labyrinth” showing his desire to escape and “Time Machine” showing his desire to go back in time. Finally, “Stranded Lullaby” shows how desperate Simon is to find his lover and how lonely he is and “Dream Sweet in Sea Major” shows Simon’s death and him finally reuniting with his lover. *There is sadly a word limit so go look at my reply under this comment for further analysis.*

[@ash1776]

At the end of Isle Unto Thyself, we hear a very uh interesting instrumental. This part is _almost_ completely cut out from this upload of the album (._.) so go listen to the version KZbin uploaded to hear exactly what I'm talking about (it's at the end, you can't miss it). I think that this is a musical representation of what is going to happen to Simon later in his life. The man witnessed the murder of his girl, was tortured, went insane, and *died* . Also, Isle Unto Thyself is meant to introduce Simon to the story so, this only makes sense to add. So I think it is safe to say that this nightmare bit is an insight to Simon's future. Now on to Murders. Some people believe that Simon murdered his lover. I personally don't believe this to be true as Murders is told in the perspective of the Murderer. (While it could also be said that both povs were Simon, it gets messy) Ok hear me out- The singer tells about how he was looking to see the trees and he found a girl. The girl he found was with an Erlking (search it up, thatll give a better explanation). Maybe the inclusion of the Erlking shows that Simon was the moster all along harming his lover (Proving he's the murderer? Maybe). He continues to comment on how they were in the woods to have a picnic. You must be asking, if the murderer is singing Murders then why does he say that he was only looking for trees and flowers. He doesn't seem to want to murder them? Well I don't think the murderer is all that mentally stable- Perhaps he was jealous of Simon? Or that he murders because he's scared of being murdered. This is confirmed because a line in the song that says, "Murders of murderers living in fear of it." Now here's a theory no one talks about. How she was killed. She was killed by a falling tree. Ok here's why. There are lyrics in the song that say, "In the light leaves broke above. Then fell below." and "Tree falling, no one would hear." He literally says that no one would hear the tree falling and killing her- So, we already went over how the murderer is insane. He went to the forest to find "the fountain of infinite mirror" after all. I suppose that he was unarmed. His only idea to kill her was the loose tree she was under. I can only assume that Simon was somewhere else. He probably went to get her some of those flowers Mr.Murderer was talking about. So, the murderer took this opportunity to kill her. I believe that the piano part at 14:02 is sung in the perspective of Simon. This part is when Simon finally comes back to see his lover get murdered by a man. Ok more Isle Unto Thyself lyrics. In Isle Unto Thyself there is a lyric that says, "Why did murderous animals survive." I think this shows how mad Simon is that the true murderer of his lover was never caught. That they "survived". Ok going to The Mind Electric. If you listen to the reversed part of the instrumental to the mind electric, you hear many voices. P.S. the version of The Mind Electric uploaded here is... weird. I can't hear any of the voices in the reversed part of this mind electric. I suggest going to listen to the version uploaded by KZbin to really experience The Mind Electric. I say that because this The Mind Electric is much less distorted and you can't hear what the voices are saying in the reversed part. I prefer the one uploaded by KZbin and I think it tells a different story. No offense to the uploader, you're amazing! Ok. A theory under the instrumental video states that these voices are the family of Simon's lover and Simon's family arguing. (I suggest go checking out the comment under the instrumental that shows all the voice lines that are in the instrumental). Ok, now on to the instrumental break that takes place in The Mind Electric (I-it isn't in this upload). The piano solo at 4:11 OF THE KZbin VERSION OF THE MIND ELECTRIC (Just go listen to the KZbin version this part is important). Ok that piano solo is the piano part played at 14:02 of Murders. I think this a nod to how the murderer is still out there and. I think this is also a nod to how the murderer needs to go to an asylum _not_ Simon. It does play in The Mind Electric after all. Now about Simon's time in the asylum. Labyrinth shows how he wants to get out and how he feels like he's in a- well, _labyrinth_ . Some people believe he escaped but I think Labyrinth is just him wanting to escape not him actually escaping. P.S. Labyrinth has it's own 8-bit game! It isn't available anymore but the 8-bit version of Hawaii: Part II is the soundtrack to this game. Now on to Time Machine. One theory is that he found a Time Machine but it broke down? This story isn't exactly too realistic but I don't think that's true. I think that this song just shows how badly he wants to go back to his carefree life of the past. Speaking of which, the White Ball solo demo. Holy hell this creeped out people. It is creepy in fact and a bit funny too- I think this demo shows Simon alone in his padded cell, singing to himself. He acts as his lover and sings a duet with himself. He's *lost it* at this point. He says "May I have this dance?" to himself and he also mimics his lover's voice at one part to say, "I love you!". He also does it again to say, "Do you love me?". To which he responds with "ᴼᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ". Yeah he's too far gone at this point. Finally, Simon is let out. His memories are jumbled up and he goes out to sea. Now on to Stranded Lullaby. At certain parts of the song, I hear a woman's voice sing along with Simon. Now this isn't his lover's voice from White Ball, and sounds angelic. This is the voice of a Siren. Now I know this sounds like a stretch but just hear me out- In Dream Sweet this voice is so persistent in the song. Mysterious angelic voice that's luring Simon to his death? 𝘚𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘴. To add to this theory I found a lyric in Isle Unto Thyself that goes, "Somebody called me to follow. I followed, thinking aloud without hearing the sound." This means that Simon heard the Siren's voice and just followed it without hearing "the sound." I think this part refers to how he didn't hear his lover's voice and heard his lover's voice in his thoughts. This is why it says "thinking aloud." So he mistakes this voice for his lover's voice and follows it. At the end of the first section the music sounds like falling in a way (38:56). I think this is just his plummet to death because well, he's out in the ocean where could the boat have fallen- Ok next is the "You look quite divine tonight" part. I think this is Simon singing about how lovely his lover's going to look on his way to the afterlife. I know this sounds like a stretch and I don't have much to base it off but work with me here- Next, he is finally reunited with his lover. Like a musical they sing goodbye to us, the listeners/audience. This is probably the most beautiful part of the whole album. Simon is finally with his lover! Now further analysis. I believe that this part portrays a cast of a musical singing goodbye. _The_ cast of this album's musical. At first it's Simon and his lover, then you hear the siren's voices. Then more and more voices join in. Although not all the voices are in here, I do recognize some. I slightly hear the high pitched, sEe HoW tHe SeRfS wOrK tHe gRoUnD, people singing near the end. So they all sing together, like a Miracle Musical :). Now we reach the ending which mind you, NO ONE really talks about- So I'm here to tell you my insight. This part is the Bye, Hi Sigh, Hawaii part. Although small, "We never meant to part" means that Simon's sad that he had to go so soon. He basically wanted to start a new life in Hawaii and the _end_ to his life was what he got. Thank you for reading this far, I absolutely love this album and have been listening to it for about two years. I felt obligated to finally pour out all the information I had collected. So thank you and thank you Miracle Musical

[@popsiclestar7986]

Legend right here

[@autumnnal]

my analysis of this album: *Introduction to the Snow* This song sets up the entire album as it mirrors Dream Sweet in Sea Major. It can be interpreted as a message from the male character at the album. “A part of thee in the key of what we know to be every part without me Knows only two can make it light” Could represent how the mc feels about the fc (female character) he still misses her despite the probably very long time span that this takes place over. *Isle Unto Thyself* Intro to the male character. “Blinding shining star You won’t see so far” These lyrics could represent the short time the mc has left before the events of the Mind Electric. “You were an isle into thyself You had a heart you hadn’t felt Why would it hurt me” The mc most likely got out of a bad relationship and his ex-lover was cold to him. This is also supported by the lyrics “It was the night we had to part” and “Love camouflaging under strife” At the end of the song maybe the mc has an existential crisis or something, he is very clearly heartbroken by this. *Black Rainbows* This is the female character’s intro. She probably sees the mc first without talking to him and falls in love with him. *White Ball* The mc and fc meet. They finally fall in love and everything is great. “So please dismiss what they claim about this” Maybe people were saying that the two characters moved on too quickly or their relationship is forbidden in their world. “Such impossible bliss” The two characters finally have someone who understands them. They’ve found true love. *Murders* Murders is an extremely interesting song. This is told from the male character’s perspective. The female character and the male character meet up in the woods. This supports my theory of their relationship being some kind of forbidden love as they have to meet up in secret. “I was in the forest looking to see the trees But none were there” This group of lyrics suggests that this is the male character’s alibi because he does not mention seeing the female character when he was in the forest. The female character was murdered in the forest and there is no trace of her killer(s). *宇宙ステーションのレベル7 (Space Station Level 7)* This song is most likely about the female character going to heaven (repetition of tengoku and heaven). “Heaven (A place full of lies) Heaven (Heaven’s on standby)” This is an extremely vague theory but the female character had an optimistic personality. She sees heaven as a good place but her dreams have been shattered. Or, this could be that she believed that heaven existed but there really is no afterlife in this world, hence the “heaven is on standby”. *The Mind Electric* This is by far the most interesting song in the album. “Resident minor, how do you plead? We’ll need your testimony on the stand. Solemnly swear to tell the whole truth.” This takes place during the mc’s trial, and he is recounting it in an insane asylum. “My brain has claimed its glory over me I’ve got a good heart, albeit insane” The mc claims to be insane so that he does not face a life sentence of the death penalty. He seems to not put up a fight. He pleads guilty and accepts that he is the only reasonable suspect as the murderers left no evidence behind. “Condemn him to the infirmary” The male character’s plan worked. He is sent to the asylum. “Electrifying mine chambers, wholly scorching out thine sovereignty” The male character goes through electro shock therapy. This absolutely fried his mind which explains why the first half of the song is in reverse. “Someone help me Understand what’s going on insane my mind Doctor I can’t tell if I’m not me” He is going insane in the asylum because of electro shock therapy. *Labyrinth* HOLY SHIT THIS SONG SLAPS. Anyways the male character is haunted by hallucinations of the female character as we hear a voice that may represent the female character. “In the rear, I can see the beast getting close Surrounded by ghosts and a cloud of smoke” This “beast” could be what killed the fc. The mc most likely has nightmares about it which has been amplified by this electro shock therapy. “But all the stairwells lead straight to hell.” The mc feels like he had no other choice than to confess to the crime as no one would believe him if he said a beast killed the fc. “Got to find a new place to hide for the night Will I ever escape Boy I try, boy I try. Everybody’s watching me I’m dying to get out In the glass labyrinth I am the mouse” The mc is planning a way to escape from the asylum. According to these lyrics, it suggests that he has tried several times to escape, but to no avail. *Time Machine* The male character finally escapes. “Look Oh look what you’ve done now to me Dead, tired and ornery I’m leaving today Today” The mc finally has his master plan. He’s going to escape the asylum. “Past is past and rather than regret the old I can live it back the other way” The mc extremely regrets what he did in Murders and The Mind Electric. He wishes he could go back there and change what he did with you guessed it, a Time Machine! “You’ll have time enough to spend some time alone.” The mc wants to go change his events to where he never met the female character. Or this could be that he wishes he could never have met up with her in Murders, but I like the first theory a little better. *Stranded Lullaby* The mc has escaped from the asylum and has become a sailor. “I’d like to know why you Are all alone why I’m Lost at sea Maybe we’ll be there when you want” These lyrics bring up another theory. What if the mc became a sailor to just escape from the world. Of what if he was led on by this insane delusion caused by his positively fried brain that he would find his dead girlfriend by looking for her out at sea. *Dream Sweet in Sea Major* The last song and the parallel to the first one. “Alone at the edge of the universe humming a tune” The male character is incredibly lost with no hope of ever finding land again. “A siren sounds like the goddess who promised you endless apologies of paradise” A siren is singing to the mc, pretending to be the female character. “It feels like flying But maybe We’re dying” The male character grows suspicious of this music. “She knows you heard her Staging music murder” The female character knows that the siren is trying to kill the mc. I can’t exactly come up with a strong meaning for the next few parts of this song. But for this next part I do have a concrete theory. “You look quite divine tonight Here amongst these vibrant lights” The mc, however, is still deeply trapped in the siren’s song. He doesn’t suspect anything is amiss. “Joy mirage’s kingdom come No one left at stake Now that existence is on the wake Let’s see what we can make” The siren is beginning to trap the mc and is dragging him underwater. This is supported by the sound effects of the waves in the next few seconds of the song. “The part is wholly ending At last eternal through the past Above a blinding star” The mc is dying. This “blinding star” could represent the saying “the light at the end of the tunnel.”. “One light Higher than the sun Invisible to some Until it’s time” These lyrics further support my theory that this represents the light at the end of the tunnel. The “invisible to some until it’s time” definitely ties into my “light at the end of the tunnel” thing. The wave sound effects and the other sounds at the end are the mc’s last moments alive. He is being swept away by the waves. He is being pulled underwater and finally dies by drowning.

Haven't seen anyone mention this but in Murders the line "she found the Erlking" is a reference to a German poem (famously put to song by Franz Schubert) in which a father and his son are riding home through the forest in a carriage at night. A sinister, supernatural being called the Erlkönig (elf king) begins to sing sweetly to the son, trying to lure the son into joining him with various promises, before eventually killing the son at the end of the song. It's worth a listen, the music does a great job at conveying the tone and interactions between the characters, and has a very similar sound to Murders

The best part is that every song has two meanings. I’ll cover the two ones I know both best. The Mind ELECTRIC: Story version: Simon is put through trial, pleads insanity, but is given electroshock therapy and his mental state hits it’s absolute lowest. Solo version: As said in a video I watched recently (I forgot what it was called), it seems to represent the story of Willie Francis, the first man to survive the electric chair. Labyrinth: Story version: Simon escapes the mental facility, but cannot escape his insanity. Solo version: Someone is stuck in an abusive relationship, feeling as if they cannot escape.

[@kirbyatka62]

I also have a theory for The Mind Electric. I think, that non-distorted and distorted parts tell different stories. Non-distorted: Simon (Male Character) is pleading insanity, they condemn him to the infirmary, he goes through the electro shock therapy and actually becomes insane. Distorted: After "Murders" He is becoming insane because his girlfriend was murdered. Then in court they condemn him to the infirmary, he is going through the electro shock therapy, but his corrupted mind is trying to convince him, that it will kill him, like an Electric Chair, that is why he pleads to have sympathy for him, and then they are Another 2 versions of what happens next: 1. He, still being insane, is escaping the infirmary, Or 2. He goes through the therapy and now is actually sane (that's why we don't hear distortion in his voice at the end for the song) But I think that him being insane by the end is more likely to be truth. It's just explains a lot of things, like why did he try to escape sailing all by himself and seeing sirens in the sea

This is long overdue, but I have to say this album is truly something special to me it brings me overwhelming joy and has helped me through my hardships and overall given me the inspiration to do art music and just live my life. Before this album, to say the least, I was in a very bad place. I could listen to it for hours and never get tired of the pure euphoria that it provides. Every time I am in a bad state of mind, I just come back and listen to a couple of songs and everything melts away. I don't understand my obsession with this album, but I won't ruin the one thing that I enjoy with questions. Does anyone else feel the same way?

[@bambimorrison1031]

Yes oh my god ive been experiencing the same! I've listened over and over and it pulls so much to the surface of my mind. I listen and make art during listening because the album lures creativity and feelings from my mind in a trance euphoric kind of way

[@babybird8727]

Rachel Gee Whoag, the same exact thing happens to me, I just get a burst of inspiration to draw, and to do shit that I want to do but that I usually don’t do cause of time or other things

unpopular opinion: distorted version of The Mind Electric is the superior version, the 'clear' version feels way too clean for this album

yes.

I just like the fact that I can hear some parts less distorted but yes the distorted version is better

I like to think that this album is separated into three acts ACT 1 (LOVE ERA) - Introduction to the Snow-White Ball ACT 2 (INSANITY ERA) - Murders-Labyrinth ACT 3 (SEA ERA) - Time Machine-Dream Sweet in Sea Major

[@brdishwasher]

Era isn't as accurate as I want it to be. It could be split into scenes way easier. Scene One (Exposition) Introduction to the Snow and Isle Unto Thyself Scene Two (Hawaii) Black Rainbows Scene Three (Falls in Love and She dies) White Ball and Murders Scene Four (She ascends) Space Station Level Seven Scene Five (Trial and Insanity) The Mind Electric and Labyrinth Scene Six (Still Insane and Searching for her) Time Machine Scene Seven (Acceptance) Stranded Lullaby Scene Eight (Death and Ascension) Dream Sweet in Sea Major Bows (Everyone takes a bow) Variations on a Cloud They fit too well with each other, that's there a significant overlap between Acts

I love this album so dam much, The story of a man retelling his first and only love at the edge of life, finding out he killed her and yet only wants to be with her.. spanding multiple types of music, languages, and full of references, every person has there own interpretation and feelings for this album. But I think the best way to describe this as a sense of melancholy, a story that you have here’d a million times wether it be from a family member or a friend all similar until it’s your time and you get to tell your tale at the edge:)

iirc the album is about a dude who likes a girl and they go on a date in the forest, then the girl gets murdered then he goes on a trial then he goes insane and then he just walks out into the ocean
