Brothers & Sisters in Dreams
Absolutely! Some of them can get rather lengthy, and some I haven't finished typing out because I haven't filled in every little detail. It's almost like a "mental exercise" for me as well as something I can occasionally use in my stories. |

Yes! I experience this all the time. It seems some songs are more evocative than others. The Mariner's Revenge Song, by The Decemberists, is good, as is World of Make Believe, by Within Temptation. In fact, this has likely improved my visualization skills. |

I think I have a crappy imagination.... I don't get visualizations very often, although I do really enjoy it when I do, I only seem to get them when I'm totally zoned out and listening to music, like on the verge of being half-awake and half-asleep. I wish I could get them more often, because its really cool when it does happen. |

Thats what songs are supposed to do, bring out emotion in people, make them see certain images the writer wants them to see. Whether it be about peace, love, war, sex, drugs, booty, family, etc. |

I see images sometimes. Other times there's just pretty colours. I like those colours. They have a bit of correlation to the type of song. Loud stuff like Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus is orangey-red. Poppy stuff can be yellow, or green. There are exceptions though. |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
Another thing, when I first started playing guitar I was really fascinated by how some people can play the guitar so well. So whenever I'd listen to a Metallica song and Kirk would start busting out a solo, I'd vividly see his fingers moving up and down the fretboard going nuts. That's just an example, I'd imagine the guitarist actually playing the guitar. |

I do not "see" music. |

I don't really visualize a story, but I do visualize something related to the song. |

Yeah, all the time! Like right now I'm listening to Sweet Home Alabama, and visualizing this one guy going to Alabama on those "Big wheels". Or in Smoke on the Water, where I visualize some guy setting fire to some building with a flare gun, causing "Smooooooke on the waaater" |

Well i think about dance like 24/7 so when i listen to music i make up a dance in my head and visualize it. |

I don't really like visuals in my songs when I'm wanting to visualize =). I purposefully look for songs without vocals. I don't want to have to see what the artist paints, I wanna see the picture the artist's song paints. I've accumulated quite a nice collection of such song. Its mainly comprised of freelance "classical" artists and soundtracks. |

omg arby that's totally uber man |
