During Pyramid song I float over rivers. Actually for alot Amnesia I associate kind of dark blueish-gray-black colours.

Almost all of The Bends is orange or brown for me, except Street Spirit which just makes me want to cry.

See when I read that I thought about the taste of cotton.

 

...it was not nice.

 

If I'm honest, everytime I used to listen to X&Y (whole album) I'd picture myself floating on space.

 

I don't mind this wasted, shaded daylight.

I picture "Yellow" by Coldplay as red.:dozey:

FIXED

Alexa, have you listened to the full album? It makes me feel so weird inside. It makes me long for love.

I did listen to it. I only kept 6 songs (sorry) but the ones I left make me feel a bit.. weird, like you say. Except Fixed, makes me dance a bit.

The Passengers and Changes are my two favs.

If you ask me, I think Fixed is a bit yellow/orange.

The passenger is so nice <3

Arcade Fire's Intervention is a red light amongst the blue darkness.... But not always, I relate them more often to feelings or thoughts.

Synesthesia thread anyone?

dis...

though it's one thing to think about colors and sensations, brought about the musical timbres of the song (dissonance and reverb for example) and quite another to actually experience, see or taste different things in reaction to said stimuli as is characteristic of synesthesia. Obviosuly every song one hear's is packed with a ton of associations, like an organ reminding you of where you were when you heard a similar organ sound, or the sound of distorted guitar impacting your ear in a way analogous to the way your hand may feel near a fire. A sensation like softness doesn't refer just to the sense of touch but all senses.

I usually associate them with memories, emotions, or people. Sometimes, if I have certain thoughts during a song, I'll have the same thoughts the next time I listen to it.

Out of some strange habit, when I think about the tracklist of AROBTTH I visualize a vertical list of song names, but always a horizontal list when thinking of X&Y.

This is very interesting. When I listen to music, I often get the color feeling thingy.. It is sort of weird.

Woah. Ok weird shit. I think it's the same for me. I never noticed.

I picture emotions, a whole story behind the song, and a little imagery, perhaps? The lyrics does affect my idea of the song.

and the perception of the song changes with my mood.

Haha. I picture Chris Martin on a beach in the rain. Every time.

I'm the same. If I'm listening to a song with a friend and we think of something really funny, I can't help but laugh every time I hear that song again because I instantly think of that moment. I associate a lot of songs with people, even.

For me, some songs have colours, some have patterns or pictures, some even hae weird little animations like the visualisers on media players :confused:

I have never done this in my life.
