To me this song is predominantly Slate blue, Dark Slate blue, with highlights of periwinkle. There are some midnight blue and indigo parts. Your synaesthesia might be showing you different colours. that’s okay! reply by showing me a song that has similar colours to this one (so if you see this as yellow, show me another yellow song). Your song can be any genre of music as long as the colours look similar to you. and then i will reply with a different song that has similar colours to what you showed me. and we can talk to each other with music.
if you see movement instead of colour then give me a song with similar movement. (i see movement too, but colour is easier for me to describe in words) if you smell something, then give me a song with a similar scent. so equal opportunity, any kind of music related synaesthesia welcome.
Phil Collins voice has a lot of bronze in it, yeah. I had to listen to it a few times, the one you picked isn’t very strongly coloured for me, but i can hear the grey like raindrops in parts of it. and in some ways the movement is similar to my song in parts.
I reply with Cowboy Mouth – Jenny Says because of those grey polka dots and because there’s some browns in the chorus, not quite the same as your song, but i think it matches it or complements it, and they both have some bits of yellow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEfpoUuKFOY
oh wow that’s gorgeous. never met that band before. yay new music. dark blue mostly but it has uterus red in it, which is a very addictive colour. i’ve been listening to this practically non stop with breaks to listen to my other favourite songs to find the perfect one. i think this is the closest, different shade of blue + uterus red http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzOnZ4rj6b0

#(November 2013) #conversational aglets #I never did respond to this #a while later slepaulica had a brain injury that worsened their pre-existing verbality issues #I think the reason they stopped using Tumblr was because they didn’t have enough language spoons anymore to do that much blogging #for a while there‚ they would scrape together enough spare words every few weeks to post a life update on Dreamwidth #but it’s been a long time since they even did that #I hope they’re doing okay #a few months ago I stumbled across a forum post they made in the spring of 2017 #(it was a different username but it was the kind of username they might have chosen) #(and I recognised the childhood story they were telling as one they’d told before) #so I know they were still around as of then at least #music #synesthesia #tag rambles
I’m mildly music-colour synesthetic. Associative, not projective: most of this song, for example, sounds blue without actually being, in any visual way, blue.
(I might be a bit number-colour synesthetic, too, but it’s very subtle and I usually don’t notice.)
Ok so how many of you out there with Prosopagnosia also have other issues like synesthesia or no sense of direction or other? The 2 specific examples are additional issues/quirks I have. I don’t recall the source but remember reading somewhere that this was common with Prosopagnosia? Also does anyone else also have social anxiety either aggravated by or as a direct affect of Prosopagnosia?
Thanks!
Me too. I’m mildly sound-colour synesthetic, and I have a pretty terrible sense of direction. I never had much cause to notice the latter until I started learning to drive (I live in the kind of small town where all the places worth going to are on the same street), but the more I drive the bigger a problem it’s going to be. I really need a GPS.
I’ve also been meaning to practise navigating the nearby city with Street View. That way if I get thoroughly lost I have the option of giving up without being forced to find my way back home first, and I will have neither the stress of trying to both drive and navigate nor the stress of it all happening in real-time.

I don’t think I’d like Fleetwood Mac’s “Save Me” nearly so much if it wasn’t such a beautiful blue.
Actually, time isn’t one of the Euclidean dimensions of space and as such doesn’t behave the same way with dimensions that can be measured in a certain direction. Saying it’s to the left is factually incorrect.
Case in point, I just lost the game.
2009 can be to the left in the same way a song can be blue.
(I saw the “You just won The Game! Congratulations, you’re free!” xkcd strip before knowing what The Game was. It was very confusing, but also meant that when I did learn about it I never took it to heart. Randall Munroe himself gave me a pass. So there. *sticks out tongue*)
