fun fact: in "labyrinth" the female voice that sings, is singing to the rhythm of "the mind electric" (I say this because in the part of "see how the brain plays around, and you fall inside a hole you couldn't see" hear a whistle that sings the same melody)

This isn't true, I believe someone figured out that it was Joe Hawley singing TME part except pitched higher

Theres also the fact that you can hear the ending melody of the mind electric (some one help me) in labyrinth when the instruments shifts into the vocal portion (its just a game you..)

One thing that I don’t see people talking about: In the mind electric, you can hear a slowed moment of the piano bridge of murders. You have to listen to TME with the glitches to find it though. It’s best found in the second half of the song during the long sequence of glitches.

Dream Sweet In Sea Major is the quintessence of the entire album

[@conic2721]

Dream Sweet in Sea Major is genius, it takes aspects from all the songs in the album, EXCEPT THE MIND ELECTRIC, LABYRINTH AND TIME MACHINE, due to them being in the period that Simon was insane, and probably his memory of it would be cloudy (due to his time in the infirmary nor the way he got out being specified) at least that's how i see it

[@lucasflanagan656]

Another one to mention! In DSISM, after the line “in line before the show began to be where I am,” the plucked strings sound similar to the Mind Electric’s “deliver me and carry me away” line (and all the lines in that song similar to that. The more you notice about this album, the more you can appreciate it. What a masterpiece.

[@danielbrink9475]

The variations on a cloud thing with ruler of everything made me listen to miracle musical

[@perrotortugaestacogido]

Also the keyboard part in Dream Sweet In Sea Major (5:40) and the "keep it coming back" part in Variations On A Cloud have the same melody

[@suzusuzujuicy]

You can hear it if you listen close enough

[@crispwater7294]

That same melody is hidden right after the french portion of Space Station Level 7

[@nukegundie]

Also, the "Keep it coming back, and coming back, and coming back" motif of Variations on a Cloud is a slower version of a motif from "Dream Sweet in Sea Major" (the part just before "to know we are beyond a bow, and lo, the hues arrange to show it's perfectly clear" Less noticeable but it makes the "Keep it coming back" part that much more "nostalgic!"

[@VeryCoolChevalier]

Finally someone notices that

[@r.a.c.e.1348]

Time Machine appears at 1:56 of DSISM, as a robotic voice saying the chorus of “With a Time Machine”, and the last two repeats says “I wait for you”.

[@MellohiYT]

there is nothing there but ok

[@chatsmeow2997]

Also I think the instrumental part after "we'll go together in flight" is a sped-up version of the instrumental before "bye, HI, sigh, Hawaii!" I know that's within the song so not really a "motif," but I never noticed it until I noticed that in Variations on a Cloud, the repeated "keep it coming back" follows the slowed melody

Really small one but the mellotron strings in Isle Unto Thyself at 2:22 play the same upward major triad as the vocal climax of Dream Suite at 5:35 (albeit in different keys). You can also kinda hear a similar string pattern buried behind the vocals at that 5:35 mark.

[@embrestedfalacy6552]

bruh

[@thatbendyfan]

Here's the translation for the French parts no one asked for: Space Station Level 7: Un ensemble d'enfants (An assembly of children) La galaxie s'etend (The galaxy extends itself) Jardin de l'imagination (Garden of imagination) (you forgot to put this next part in, that's ok though!) Je dois dire bon soir (I have to say good night) Lance-toi et tu vivera toujours se soir (Go ahead and you'll live forever tonight) Dream Sweet in Sea Major: Un ensemble d'enfants (An assembly of children) La galaxie s'etend (The galaxy extends itself) Jardin de l'imagination (Garden of imagination) Combler la lacune (Closing the gap) Roller passe la lune (Rolling passed the moon) Comme nous evoluons (Like we evolve) I don't really understand it, but I don't think Hawaii: Part II is anything understandable. Tell me if I got anything wrong!

[@barrels1346]

I love how everything's beautifully chaotic and nothing makes sense yet it all weaves something angelic and terrifying

[@frol1]

I don't think it's "roller passe la lune" but "voler face à la lune" as it would makes much more sense

[@Starfishluver]

I thought it was Comblen la lacune-(bridging the gap) Voler face a la lune-(flying in front of the moon) vois comme nous evoluons-(see how we evolve)

[@mordoreanhalfling]

French™ here, your translation is pretty darn good but I'd rather translate (and spell it) as that: Un ensemble d'enfants (a group of children) La galaxie s'étend (the galaxy is expending) Jardin de l'imagination (garden of imagination) Je dois dire bonsoir (I have to say goodbye/good evening) Lance-toi et tu vivra toujours ce soir (Go ahead and you'll still be alive until/by tonight) DSISM: (same first 3 lines) Combler la lacune (Fixing the deficiency/improving) Rouler face à la lune (drive in front of/facing the moon) Vois comme nous évoluons? (Do you see how much we're evolving?) I'm not sure if they're saying "voler face à la lune (flying facing/in front of the moon)" Ou "rouler face à la lune" But either way the meaning isn't that far off with the way it's worded.

@@mordoreanhalfling Oh that’s cool

Space station level 7 french part sounds fire when sped up ngl

[@gamez642]

This might be a weird coincidence, but I’m pretty sure the end of murders is referencing “All or Nothing at All” by Frank Sinatra. The first line of the song sounds pretty similar.

[@jollysnail4394]

i think the whistle in TME is a reference to a demo(TME Demo 4) in which there was the line "See how i laugh at you, you'll never understand(etc.)..."

[@BryceNov]

"See how they fall" in Mind Electric sounds exactly the same as "See how the run" in The Beatles' 'Lady Madonna,' which is a song Joe Hawley did a cover of. Listen to "See how they fall" and this back to back kzbin.info/www/bejne/q321mnqOaLFgodk

user ThatBendyFan has translated the french in miracle musical and the realization hit me that one of the translations has appeared in another song of hawaii part ii ! in space station level 7: “LANCE-TOI ET TU VIVRAS TOUJOURS CE SOIR” ( Go ahead and you will live forever tonight ) ‘You'll live forever tonight’ is also a lyric in introduction to the snow, the last line in fact ! thought that was cool and wanted to share !!

[@aeroplanCton]

In Variations on a Cloud, the "keep it coming back and coming back" segment is a pitched up version of the main melody played by the pizzicatos in DSISM's verses and at the very end of the song as well

[@chatsmeow2997]

Awesome! I knew there were more, and I was thinking about doing this lol. Not saying the original was bad! But there are more things and subtle things that you wouldn't pick up unless you listened to it over and over and back and forth (or unless you aren't me and you heard it from the start lol). I didn't know about the whistles at 4:47! Great vid! :)

[@GWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGW]

[@JoseVazquez-tn6ts]

I don't know why, but the whistling part in 'Mind Electric' kinda reminds me of the beginning of the lost wave song 'Chart Rundown'. Although very brief, it's very similar.

I just realized that introduction to the snow and DSISM goes backwards in order

[@kittenxmari]

I don't think it's really a reference at this point or not, but in White Ball, there's a reverse section in the beginning saying "It's actually fun doing it at this point." A few songs later, a fully reversed song plays. Kinda a cool concept.

[@kittenxmari]

Him calling out to someone by saying "Check it out" before showing him saying something in reverse got me to think it's a Mind Electric reference. Lol.

With the part around 4:30 the demo 4 has the same tune and they also might’ve been humming the tune of the demo 4 but maybe it was labyrinth this is just my idea

Ik this is old and this take also maybe a reach but I feel like labyrinth and the connect well because they both seem to be about regret and desperation I guess.
