Miracle Musical fandom needs to talk more about Marvin (he appears in tme but in demo 3 Simon called his name). YEAH HE'S A TALLY HALL REF I KNOW BUT HE CAN BE A GOOD CHARACTER IF YOU WILL INTERPRET HIM RIGHT

I was gonna make a joke about how I could write an essay on the narrative importance of the reversed half but !! i change my mind. no more jokes i’m actually gonna do it

so right off the bat the reversed part of TME & the non-reversed part of TME are not the same song. I don’t just mean that “duh one’s reversed so of course it’s not the same song”, but that if you were to play the reversed half of TME forwards it wouldn’t be exactly the same as the normal forward version. For example- the reversed half has a number of sample voices from Alan Ladd in Box 13 (the argument about sailing to Timbuktu you can faintly make out in the background) & a reading of Plato’s Apology at the end of the reversed segment. It’s also much more polished, lacking the distortion effect on “I have a good heart albeit insane”, the clunky metal sound that plays during the bridge, & the Murders, Sunkist Hawaii, & Beethoven (?) samples that play right before the axon dendrite part of the song. This leaves us with four distinct versions of the Mind Electric- The non-distorted reversed, the distorted non-reversed, the distorted reversed, & the non-distorted non-reversed. The non-distorted reversed & the distorted non-reversed were the clearly the creators’ intention seeing as they were the ones that played our on the album, while the other two are tracks you can get just messing around with reversing audio. 

hopefully that didn’t get too confusing 😭 now I’d like to look at exactly why the creators chose the two intended versions to play out as they did. this does get a little personal interpretation-y here & I know everyone has vastly different interpretations on wtf is going on in this album but I’ll try to stick to the most generally accepted theories here. So The Mind Electric is generally considered to be about Simon’s descent into insanity. He becomes more & more incomprehensible & becomes a shell of his former self as the song progresses. What’s one thing the reversed portion has going for it? It’s incomprehensible. It’s gibberish, it sounds like the ramblings of a mad man. This leads me to believe that the reversed portion is us experiencing the trial & Simon’s condemning from an outside perspective. We are witnessing this event from the general public’s point of view- the general public that doesn’t see Simon’s half of the story. they see him as this incomprehensible madman & nothing more. The reason why I think this idea is so plausible is because of those sample voices I mentioned earlier that are in the reversed half but not in the forwards half. These sound like random bystanders discussing the situation from an outside point of view. For example- there’s the whole Box 13 sample which talks about a man sailing off to Timbuktu, which mirrors the idea that Simon escaped the infirmary & sailed off during Time Machine / Stranded Lullaby (let’s go foreshadowing). There’s that one voice from a sample I’m unsure of that exclaims “you ought to be ashamed of yourself”, perhaps portraying someone scolding Simon for the crime (regardless if he’s guilty or not). & then there’s Plato’s Apology-the trial of Socrates, which could show how the general public interpreted Simon’s trial. 

We don’t see what actually happened during the song until the non-reversed half, which I believe to be Simon’s point of view. Here, those background voices discussing the events of the album are completely gone- showing that lack of an outsider’s perspective. Instead in its place are the samples before the axon-dendrite section I mentioned earlier. The most notable is the sample from Murders- an event that only Simon witnessed firsthand. No one in the general public would know what actually happened that night, hence why the sample is lacking in the reversed part- but Simon would, only further suggesting that the forwards distorted half is meant to represent his point of view. There’s also the distorted Sunkist Hawaii, which could represent some other memory of Hawaii Simon has that’s now being distorted in his descent into madness, & what I believe to be a Beethoven sample iirc?? which could be the same thing except instead of a happy Hawaii memory being twisted it’s some inherently bad memory that’s making its way to the forefront of his brain during this tough time. This version of the song, while actually being comprehensible, is also more distorted & messy than the revered part. The way the distortions progressively worse during the song could also go to show that Simon actually experienced a descent into madness, unlike the the reversed half which remains pretty consistently undistorted throughout- falsely suggesting that he was always of this mental state & not driven to insanity through the hospital staff’s mistreatment.  

I think these two versions of the song compliment each other wonderfully to show that Simon was never truly understood by the general public & how they forever maimed his image by falsely painting him as this insane murderer, & not someone who was unfairly abused by the justice system over his mental illness. The non reversed half gets this point across well, sure, but I think showing us the reversed half only strengthens the themes of the song & shows us how bad things really were for Simon. I think the subtle changes they made between these two version are often overlooked because people don’t wanna listen to the reversed half, but I genuinely think the reversed half has a strong narrative reason to be in the album & i appreciate it so much.

that’s just my personal theory ofc 😭 i think it’s neat

in love w the person who commented this on the mind electric instrumental

Yesterday morning I woke up at 5AM and my earphones were still playing music on shuffle, so when I woke up it was exactly the end of the reverse part of TME by Miracle Musical.

So I jammed to the good part and stayed in bed for another 2 hours while scrolling on Tumblr and listening to Dinosaurchestra

[someratsinatrenchcoat]

This is now 46 days total time. The mind electric is now my white noise. I was very close to becoming the top listener but they realize how close I was and started listening to it on loop. I'm coming for you Kyle. I will have that #1 spot.

I now have over 2 days total time on The Mind Electric dear God help me

So, I understand you like Miracle Musical, but do you think there is any overrated/underrated songs in the playlist? (I'm sorry I have way too many questions)

Everything besides DSISM, Labyrinth and the actual proper version of TME

Don’t get me wrong, these are still phenomenal songs, but they’ve been over popularized by the internet and the rest of the album goes pretty unnoticed despite how much more variety it adds to the album and how unique each song is

TME I have especially specific opinions on because a lot of people tend to only like one part or use the non-distorted parts when really those parts of the song aren’t as good as the distorted parts

listening to the whole TME experience is worth it because the reverse part of the song when properly listened to in reverse also has overlain whispering voices playing which are a really cool detail and not to mention the distorted proper part of the song is WAY BETTER THAN THE NON DISTORTED ONE

There’s things like more instruments and rhythmic distortion and glitching as well as some off putting portions that add to the vibe and enhance the song in my opinion

Listening to the whole album and noticing the connections between each song always brings me chills and overwhelming excitement and respect to the songwriters talents and it’s a really great experience to listen to the album with these details in mind

variations on a cloud is also underrated and needs attention in my opinion because it’s almost like the overture of the album and other tally hall media and I absolutely love overtures and detail inclusion and connections

so I’d recommend listening to the album with an open mind to draw connections and to appreciate the songs deeper than just a popular song someone used to make an animatic with edited audio to make it sound more appealing

listen to the songs for what they are for the best experience
