If this was a restaurant, I'd rate it 5 stars
I’m rating it 5 stars anyway!
If this were a restaurant ... we'd probably all have food poisoning :(
Thankfully for us all, I stick to thinks with less risk of Clostridia. Thank you for listening!!

@@topaztakus982 YUP!
Gives off a very 1920’s to 1940’s vibe and I absolutely love it
I’m so thrilled to hear that! I was trying to lean into the trad pop elements that are woven into TME (and H:PII in general), so I’m very happy that it came through
Thank you for listening! :D
Prescott calmy dropped the most fire TME cover and thought we wouldn't notice
I’m very sneaky like that.
@@jrobinprescottcan you release this?
@@angypotato Like to Spotify etc? I intend to, but I’ve been busy (read: lazy) and haven’t quite got around to it yet
I’ll try to do that right after I finish my next thing, which should be done pretty soon
This was extremely unexpected. I have been obsessively collecting all (mostly Non instrumental) covers of TME I can find. Usually they're pretty old, but to see one from just a day ago, and one thats so fantastic and so unique is utterly magical. The Murders and Dream Sweet in Sea Major break away was totally unexpected but beautiful and not something you see often. I love how it sounds kind of distant and grainy, it adds so much to the tone and it makes my skin crawl in the best way possible.
I enjoyed how the big hitter part (you know the one) wasn't as huge and dramatic as it usually is. I love when it comes in every time, but having it be so calm and in line with the preceding verse is very subversive, and again, very unique.
You do fantastic work, sir.
Thank you, those are some really flattering compliments! Happy to have been able to add a fresh one to the collection :)
I totally agree. And to help your search for TME covers, have you seen Anry L.'s cover yet?
Please make a public playlist in your channel
I adore the calmness at the start of the bridge, it is now my favourite way to sing the bridge. Legitimately never crossed my mind but god is this good.
The usage of the demo version of the song and 'Murders' Is perfect in this!
It adds more thought to the fact its electric shock therapy, and randomness makes it that Simon is getting shocked, and remembering the last bits of what he knows and what he has done already, and what's happening now up to this point. Some start up calm, to build up to the electricity of Resident Simons Mind. He prays for mercy on him and claims he was a boy slowly. But still got the electric shock anyways, the demo part near the end is him getting shocked, as you can also hear voices. Either those of the hospital, or the voices in his head. But I'm besides the point, this is amazing!
I really love how the song slowly descends into madness as if the mc reminisces about the past before tme happened
I need this on spotify like. ASAP. I love this more than the OG.
If I knew how, I would :(
I'll investigate! If I manage to work it out, I'll report back. Præy for me in the meanwhile.
@@jrobinprescottah, I see what you did there!
i like the more sinister feel to this version
I really love this cover because it’s not afraid to be unique and still captures the feeling of Hawaii Part: II.
Thank you! :)
THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOD AHHHHHHH
You have a beautiful voice, and an incredible range of tones. You were literally born to sing this song. Outstanding work.
“Incredible range of tones” is a weird way of phrasing it but I _think_ it gets the point across. I dunno, I’m tired, all my vocal jargon has left my brain for the night.
That's extraordinarily kind, thank you :)
I love how calm this cover is, it almost felt like some kind of creepy lullaby. I was genuinely getting a bit sleepy too
Also I love the references to Dream Sweet in C Major and Murders you put in there
THIS IS SO GOOD!! It reminds me of the soundtrack from an experimental short film or maybe a theatre movie!! “Outstanding” is an understatement. I don’t know how to put these feelings I get from this into words. I am so happy I listened to it on headphones. All the best 🙌
So happy you changed the lyrics; you can’t sate a thirst, you quench it.
I actually didn’t realise I sang it that way until I was making the lyrics video! Its just the version of that line saved in my brain, I suppose
Gosh, congrats on getting this shared by the miracle musical twitter. Super well deserved!
Oh my goodness, I hadn’t seen that! I’m a little gobsmacked, thank you for letting me know :D
@@jrobinprescott No problem at all, I also am just generally curious what tools did you use to achieve some of the voice effects in this cover?
(Also its super wholesome seeing you respond to like literally every comment, its amazing!)
@@stol8868 Oooo, let's see what I can remember:
- The choir right at the start is mostly just me singing with the iZotope Vinyl plugin on top of everything, though hidden in the background there's also a spooky quiet voice vocoded to a very warbly saw synth
- The judge and "Here in my Kingdom" voices are just variations on pitch-shifting (e.g. the judge is pitched down an octave with the formant shifted up a lot)
- The "PA system" effect is aggressive low/high pass filtering on the EQ and perhaps a stock distortion effect at some points
- The bitcrushed voice that kicks in midway through the bridge section uses the "Krush" plugin
I think that about covers it? There was also a lot of boring compression, reverb, and EQing throughout of course
@@jrobinprescott Thank you so much for that!
Thank you for making this beautiful cover of one of my most favorites songs of all time.
Thank you for listening! Absolutely one of my favourite songs too, it was totally a labour of love
This completely reimagines and reworks this song from the ground up! It is SPECTACULAR!!!
Thank you! :D
@@jrobinprescott You're very welcome!! ⚡
This instrumental is SO COOLLL
Yooooo Hawk Peterson! I'm very flattered, thank you :D
Mr Simoner III declares himself insane and the doctor make a lobotomy on him
Also u can Made a cover of dream sweet in sea major i love u style
Thank you! Maybe some day…
Such an amazing cover
I can't explain how much I love this
Same
This scratches my brain in the best way possible holy heck this is so good.
I’m a little surprised on the fact that this video is alarmingly underrated,,, this may just be my opinion but the fact that you sang this in a more calm style than the original’s clashing together somehow made this all the more effective.
It’s different, and it’s amazing.
I’m impressed to no end, I wasn’t expecting this type of pace to the cover, literally knocked my socks off!
This is genuinely one of the best covers I have ever came across, and I wish I could hear it for the first time again.
I don’t know if that’s how I’d properly explain the feel of the cover without using a corny analogy cause that just wouldn’t do this cover Justice or live up to the actual cover’s beat in general, but it’s still pretty good.
Thank you so much! :D
Quite an unusual TME cover
Great job!!
This IS A MASTERPIECE IN ITS OWN
I love this. Can't change my mind. Thanks for existing and creating this. Have a good day
This is really good! Well done!
Aaaa I love this so much it’s so sweet and eerie
bro ive been listening to this on repeat for days 💀 fr gonna make me get condemned to an infirmary
but in all seriousness this is a hella good cover, great job man
I’ve had Caramelldansen on loop for the past three hours, so if you’re heading to the infirmary I’ll race you there
Thank you for the kind words! :D
I loved your voice so much! this cover is so good
I don't even know how many times I listened to this cover
That’s fantastic to hear! Thank you, glad you enjoyed :)
This is absolutely spectacular
Really made my brain play arou-ou-ou-ound
Really unique cover of TME. It's awesome
I have listened to this over 10 times in the past week
Thank you, valued customer! Please come again ~
(Seriously, thank you! It really means a lot, glad you’re enjoying)
This cover is so awesome!!
Thanks! :D
I love this so much
It kinda sounds like I’m listening to a play over the radio
So happy you enjoyed! I was inspired a lot by the old 1930s-50s radio shows I used to listen to with my grandfather, so it’s very cool to hear that connection was invoked a little!
@@jrobinprescott nice! You did a really good job
Incredible!!!
THIS IS insanity HOW THIS IS THIS GOOD I AM shocked BY HOW GOOD THIS IS! MY body was shocked BY HOW GOOD THIS IS! GOOD JOB!!!
Thank you! :D
Gives me “It’s Just a Burning Memory” vibes
I LOVE THIS
holy shit this is so good
Feels oddly nostalgic. Good cover :D
TME always reminded me of the old 30s-50s movies and radio I used to enjoy with my grandfather. "Nostalgic" feels like a good adjective. Thank you for listening! :D
@@jrobinprescottI should more be thanking you for blessing my ears, but you’re welcome :D
absolutely beautiful cover
Thank you! :)
@@jrobinprescott no, thank YOU for this awesome cover!
Almost brought me to tears.
I dub thee, the best Mind Electric cover, of all known history.
I’m most honoured! Thank you :)
This is awesome! Clyde showed me this at work and I thought it sounded very very good! Joe Hawley/ tally hall is amazing so good choice lol
This is an experience and a half
BANGER CHANNEL!!!!
Very nice
no u
Really great, keep it up!
Thank you :)
I thought this was goin’ to be another chonny jash situation but it’s something else
WHY IS THIS AWESOME? I LOVE THIS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA! MUCH YES MHM MHM!
Oh my god i love this
So glad to hear it! :D
Epic song indeed, deserves a Grammy1!!11!
My my, thank you!
I also think the beginning parts of the cover are the best, the "Think of theese thoughts as limitless light" part lol
ough the labyrinth(? i think?) part scratches my brain so good
this is the single best mind electric cover/remix I have ever heard and I have looked for a lot of them holy shit this is beyond perfect
Can you please tell me about the other ones you’ve heard? I’ve only found this and the Chonny Jash trio. Thanks!
@@Ouch193Jash is definitely the most popular but there are many remixes and covers on the internet there's even one of a live band playing it

@@dylanfranz5203 NP, thanks a ton. The link didn’t send tho, can you try again? Thanks again!
HOLY DAMN THIS GOES HARD
The beginning almost feels like the beginning of an animated Christmas movie in the 1980's animated with cels. It really fits ngl
“Vintage animated Christmas movie” is a pretty good description of my soul ngl, so I’ll take it! Thank you :)
@@jrobinprescott yw
this is fucking awesome dude
I don't know if anybody mentioned this already but, you sound like Alastor from Hazbin Hotel during the red text bits, especially the first red part. (Not in a bad way, it's pretty cool)
Ace gang represent.
Thanks for the comment :)
sick
this is the best cover i heard in almost one year and since i'm writing HAWAII PART III you just gave me some rythm and base idea thank you
P.S: i would love a collab with you
I've added my email to my profile! Can't promise I'd be a good fit, but if you're making stuff feel free to reach out :)
the mind electric when you were in the forest looking to see the trees but none were there ☺️
This is significantly different to other The Mind Electric covers I've seen, since most of them really amp up the intensity through rock-like instrumentation and glitch effects. This... isn't soft, exactly, but feels more like what an acoustic version of the electric song should be. Also, I'm just a sucker for good usage of piano.
Other miscellaneous notes:
- The beginning feels both backwards and forwards at the same time, while reminding me of early musical theatre, especially with the harmonies somewhat resembling a barbershop quartet.
- 0:57 Descending sine my beloved. Something is wrong, but not quite enough to set off any alarm bells.
- 1:09 Half insane, half enasni. I like it.
- 1:11 Just that vocal range and harmonization! I don't know how you do it, but that sounds great.
- 1:18 I think it's the combination of the lower-feeling (not pitch) of the instrumental and the drawl of the vocals that makes this part work.
- The repeated double-words from both the final version and Demo 3 is a lovely touch (e.g. daemons/genius, pray/prey, wholly/holy, etc.).
- 1:51 The interlude with the pizzicato strings of Dream Sweet and slightly static-y piano from Murders is a nice departure from the usual sampling (kinda like the SiIvaGunner Much Better! TME "rip").
- 2:04 A properly done stutter is always appreciated.
- From "nuns commence" to "sovereignty", the song picks up (accompanied by the background vocals), only to be brought down in pace in a transition that should feel abrupt, yet is mindbogglingly smooth. The following picks up gradually in a different way. I like how it parallels the random vocals (dialogue?) in the original without feeling too out-of-place.
- 2:56 I also really like the slight inflection on "give it all they've got~"
- From "See how the brain" to "if I'm not me", there's the contradictory nature of it being low-energy, but there's quite a bit going on: the drums are softer but noticeable --- a bit of flavour on top of an already cohesive melody ---, the vocals feel more natural than the usually pitch-shifted ones during this section, the choir-esque backing adds to the atmosphere, the Labyrinth chiptune in the background is audible but not intrusive; it's just chaotic enough to still feel like The Mind Electric, but just more toned-down, I guess? I think I like this version a bit more because of that, because it's not as in-your-face as the original.
- 3:38 The second interlude! For some reason, it reminds me of "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles. I can't exactly pinpoint the chip melody as either Labyrinth or The Mind Electric Demo 4, rather, it seems like a mix of both with a little extra creative flourish. There are definitely hints of "See how I fly away" and "fall inside a hole inside a...." in the secondary, but no clear guesses on the primary.
- This is 100% present in the original (I had to check), but the piano at the end really draws attention to it: the instrumental at "calming if you look at it right" directly mirrors (literally, it's reversed) the melody right before "think of these thoughts." I'm not sure how I'd never noticed that until now, but thanks for making me hear it, I suppose?
Sorry for rambling, I just get really excited over small details. Great work, and I can't wait to hear what you're up to next!
A day where _anything_ I do gets compared to "I am the Walrus" is a fantastic day, thank you :)
oh my gosh thats the best cover of thsi song i've ever heard, how long did it take you?
Thank you so much! It’s honestly hard to say. I did most of the initial arranging back in 2021, and it only took a few hours of tweaks and mixing to get the Instrumental Version out. The vocals took a couple of weeks of considering, practising, and re-mixing.
The video took about two days to make (on account of me being a moron and initially trying to make each slide by hand)
i really really love this cover, it's got a vibe i adore and it's absolutely perfect
quick related question, would you be alright with me making an animatic with this? it's given me quite a few ideas honestly :P
That’s so awesome, please feel free!! Just add credit if you do ofc, and send me a link! I’d love to see what you make :D
WHO SCRATCHED A LINE THROUGH THE VYNYL!!! Anyways, good cover for a song i unironically like-
unique cover, i quite enjoyed it. it seems like you aren’t using your full singing voice; i feel like that is an improvement u could make, though you could argue against in the context of this song. nice work either way :)
Thank you! And that's totally fair, it's honestly still early days for this whole "let's learn how to sing with any degree of competence" thing for me. _Someday_ I'll get to Will Wood's level of belting though, and then my neighbours will truly know no peace...
I know i commented already but i already know that listening to this is gonna hit different in a trip to six flags im going on Monday
(Like seriously i legitimately teared up at the serfs part)
That’s so lovely to read, thank you :D
Have fun! Enjoy the funnel cakes

Some cymbals would make the intro sound more orchestral, like classical music, just a tip
Can I use this in a video of mine?
Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town. As long as you provide credit, go for it!
you got noticed on the hawaii part 2 account ...
Like on the Twitter? Yeah I had heard about that! Absolutely wild…
Is it just me or do some parts of the background music seem/sound like it’d be music in a Kirby game?
I do love me some Jun Ishikawa!
I don't _think_ I used the SNES Kirby soundfont anywhere in this mix, but I do like to sneak it into things every so often...
Yummy
1:04 its moment a little strange to hear, because first part are distorted and this changes not good on style, But other parts is very nice.
Appreciate the feedback! Thank you for listening :)

@@jrobinprescott lol
The instrumental sound different.
It's _mostly_ the same actually, just with some of the instruments that were taking the place of the main vocals removed. If I remember correctly, the only addition I made was the little glockenspiel run before the judge's verse
@@jrobinprescott well, sounds a lightly different but is almost the same. And have some extra voices in the Mercy Verse and in the demo 4 section.

the voice is a bit off, a bit too low pitched
It’s a cover, not an exact replica. I’m pretty sure the voice is exactly where it meant to be.
