'''The Mind Electric''' is a song by [[Joe Hawley]] for [[ミラクルミュージカル]] (also known as Miracle Musical).
The Mind Electric consists of two very similar versions of the same song, one of which is reversed, so the song essentially plays backwards before playing forwards. A similar style technique was used for Joe's university film: [[The Other Way]]

The Mind Electric has roots dating back to around 2002. It was previously known as Inside The Mind Of Simon<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmJJtz87gM4 Inside The Mind of Simon. Uploaded: Jan 22nd, 2020. YouTube.]</ref> and was one of many songs featured on a demo disc made for [[Rob Cantor]]. At this time Inside The Mind of Simon had mostly non-sense lyrics, much like [[L'Frou Jibet]]. Later on two more demos would be created, with the third being the most well known of the demos. This third demo would be released as [[Tally Hall]] in 2004. Each demo also appears on ''[[Hawaii: Part II: Part ii]]'' in remastered form.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmJJtz87gM4 YouTube upload of the demo</ref>

According to a comment on a Tally Hall LiveJournal group, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEYxUz6nyFc&ab_channel=notfire Tally Hall performed Inside The Mind Of Simon at The Pingry School] on May 13, 2005, alongside [[Spring And A Storm]].<ref>[https://tallyhall.livejournal.com/26620.html?thread=158716#t158716 LiveJournal post, October 5th, 2005]</ref> This would be the only live performance of Inside The Mind of Simon by Tally Hall.

Tally Hall planned to record Inside The Mind of Simon for [[Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (Album)|Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum]]. Tracks recorded would include a choir, harpsicord, distorted grand piano, and over 15 other instruments. However the band soon ran into budgetary problems and ultimately had to drop it from the tracklisting.<ref>[https://tallyhall.livejournal.com/6066.html Tally Hall livejournal entry from Coz Baldwin, May 31st, 2005]</ref>

At some point in 2006, Inside The Mind of Simon was confirmed to be on their next album. However this, of course, never came true sadly. [[Bora Karaca]]'s band [[Cojum Dip]] recorded an instrumental of the song likely sometime after Inside The Mind Of Simon's recording and would perform it live at [[The Blind Pig]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVUqG9txCic Inside the mind of Simon - performed by Cojum Dip at the blind pig. Uploaded: Jul 1st, 2018. YouTube.]</ref> This could suggest it could've been given to Cojum Dip, similar to Rob and [[I'm Gonna Win]].

Inside The Mind of Simon would lay dormant for years until the recording and release of Hawaii: Part II. After release The Mind Electric would gain a cult following and is considered one of Joe Hawley's best songs by fans.

This song makes use of a sample from the song Sunkist Hawaii, particularly "Hawaii". It also samples Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Trinitatis. In the longer, "glitchier" part of the song, there are two references to other songs on Hawaii: Part II: during the climax of The Mind Electric, a synthetic instrument uses a chord progression similar to the instrumental outro to [[Labyrinth]]. The piano line of [[Murders]] is also sampled.
