The mind electric during a power outage

i love how this sounds like a grandpa telling a sotry, while the mind electric is like some random shiznit

I love tally hall but my ears can’t handle this it hurt

Following the pattern of the image implies that Joe is reading the book about himself, which kind of makes sense.

Is it just me or does the “doctor I can’t tell if I’m not me” sound so much better and genuine like I listened to it 10 times and I’m crying

1:04 reddit on my face

So many good demos... why aren't they on spotify?

This song is so goofy sounding

the mind ran out of electricity

british mind electric

This mind was NOT electric

I can't stop thinking about Simon Henriksson from Cry Of Fear 😭

Mind electric without any electric

I cant sop thinking of simon petrekov from advenute tine now

This aint “Inside the mind of Simon” this is “The Mid Electric” /j

Joe Hawley can WRITE. I understand this is music but this man is a WRITER as well. The whole album is straight up poetry in its finest form. I truly believe The Mind Electric is Joe’s magnum opus.

I can imagine the Banana Man Mechanical Birds singing this lmao

Didn't Cojum Dip sing this at one of their concerts?

happily enjoying this song since it eventually evolved into the mind electric

So I’ve got a theory: Joe once explained that his art can get autobiographical at times in an interview. As many of you probably know, Joe was in a court case once during his time in tally hall between its MMMM and the last concert and judging by how the lyrics of the first verse change from the demos to the mind electric, and his history with his mental health, I wonder if The Mind Electric is at least partially about Joe pleading insanity at a court case.

This fits the game Cry of Fear

Every demo is a whole ass song

i genuinely find this terrifying

From 1:06 to 1:17 it sounds identical to the final song

I like this better than the Mind Electric tbh

youtube recommended gone wrong, oops!

Reading the original German versions of fairy tales be like

This feels like listening to TME from a different universe.

These lyrics feel like they’ve been put through google translate

The mind electric on a budget

Just a reminder, the man who wrote this song also wrote... *sigh* The G- *ssiiiggghhhh* The Gobble Chicken song.

Wtf, take. For a ride is connected to the mind electric, Marvin is the judge

the big bad betty of the apocalypse inside the mind of simon

i love this demo so much

is this before joe hawley owned a thesaurus

Joe sounds lowkey goofy in this

This version of the song genuinely frightens me its acc so scary

Simon Petrikov moment

The Mind Electric but it’s been toned down so it won’t kill a victorian child

i love joe hawley

Mind electric when you don’t have a Good Day

The mid electric

I’m glad they didn’t use this for Marvin’s album as it fits so well with the theme of Hawaii part 2.

literally 1984

simon petrikov

"see how the brain plays around" is so much better in TME😭

thy brain shock

1:40 Im sorry but it sounds like a minecraft villager

I find the change of certain lyrics in the final version compared to this one really interesting. Shrieking instead of yelling, pleading instead of begging, such simple changes add so much intensity and franticness to the feeling of the song. Really shows how his music evolved and matured over the years as he did

This is like a mild TME (The Mild Electric?) and for some reason it scratches my brain just right
