The Complex Ballad of Two Mice in a Complex (TCBOTMIAC), is a song about two mice who fall in love and escape a research lab in which they are experimented on. The idea came to me after looking for song inspirations and I find that writing songs about animals is easier than writing about humans. I then realised that animals share a lot of traits with humans. It turns out that mice have empathy for other mice and I thought of how they feel towards each other and being experimented on to find this out. I then wrote this song. Inspired by the works of Pink Floyd and The Beatles.
