I swear I had a stroke doing those titles I should’ve worded them better.

THIS ALBUM LITERALLY IS THE PERFECT EPILOGUE ON JOE’S CAREER AFTER TALLY HALL

Im pretty sure most people know this, but ganons laugh from the death screen is the laugh in the mind electric.

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)

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

Labyrinth is actually based from a demo of the mind electric, and so they're both sorta always connected

When a album is so fucking amazing you can’t even tell when the songs are the same

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.

Hawaii prt2 was such a success it has a cult fan following and people are doing animations and samples to this day of this album almost 6 years after the fact, just a master piece, and the lyrics my god the reverences to some of America's greatest authors in 1 album

The ruler of everything sampling makes me feel ways i didnt think such a silly song could make me feel. Like goosebumps at such the old callback and tearing up from the acknowledgment of his old works

The introduction to the snows opening reminds me of a hat in time

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

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”.

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!"

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

in the distorted version of the mind electric it is infinitely easier to hear the labyrinth instrumental during the bridge

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

The first lyrics of "ruler of everything" sounds like the "see how the serfs works the ground" in the mind electric

This album is the best thing ive listened, and things like this bring peace to my soul I love Hawaii: Part II and the little lore people pieced toguether, its the literal highlight of music for me at this point in life!

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.

When I heard the Ruler of Everything in Variations on a cloud Made me quit the game I was playing to figure out what it was! I really love it

The thing i love about this is i never know whether a song is referencing a previous song or joe is referencing a future song (like the whistle from the mind electric and labyrinth and the "i saw you begin it" at the end of isle unto thyself)

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!

Joe Harley turned my mother into a basketball

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

You forgot one thing! In the middle of the french part from Space Station level 7, the melody that plays is the same as the main melody in DSISM!

"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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7KCnKqJmLKRm6s.html

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.)..."

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.

this is a pretty cool video, i think

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 !!

You missed the refrence in dream sweet in sea major of space station level 7 the "Un ensemble d'enfants, La galaxie s'étend, Jardin de l'imagination"

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! :)

is it just me or does Murders changes the whole vibe?

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

It really isn’t stealing if you made it!

variations on a cloud doesn't sample anything, it just uses to motif

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

Yo! Thanks for this video! Love all the connections! So rad how they did that! Love this/these bands!

3:33 you KNOW the album is a story about the man, "the whale", and this girl, right?

There was a ruler of everything reference in variations on a cloud, I never noticed, blink and you’ll miss it ig

Did you guys know that in fate of the stars is sampled in the mind electric? It’s reversed and very faint though so it may be hard to hear but you can find it in the album version of tme. Pretty cool right!?

Okay, so I think the goddess is the one who is staging the music murder (or the musical) before he was where he is now (his life) because his life is the musical and musical is basically about the murder of Stella

Miracle Musical confirmed that Labyrinth was inspired by the theme of the video game Wizards & Warriors on Twitter a week ago

just after the french part in space station level 7, the instrumental sounds like variations "keep it coming back and coming back"

very good video dude! I have a question, where did you find the instrumentals?

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.

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. One about pass regrets and desperately getting away from them (labyrinth and the relationship depicted with the sea of regrets) and the other about yk the whole desperate situation the dude in tme is in

thank you for this video!!

i dont mean to appear as late but you confused leitmotif use and sampling lietmotif use is using the same or similar melody from one song in another song sampling is taking a part of a recorded song and using it in another song

I love this video

Labyrinth is TME's b-side

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

These are all the basic things anyone who listened to the album a few times would easily pick up.

I never heard the black rainbows one!

What About The Mind Electric Demo 4?

Not for the part of Labyrinth in TME, Demo 4 actually has the fuckin uhhh guy idk sing in the same melody as woman in labyrinth

Another reference in Dream Sweet in Sea Major you don't hear about often is in 宇宙ステーションのレベル7 in the french part you hear "tu vivras toujours ce soir" which roughly translates to "you'll live forever tonight" which is also used in DSISM.

Threw 3
