Can you separate the music from the visuals ? When I hear Lovesexy I see that fabulous wardrobe and flowing hair When I hear computer blue I see him topless, dancing with his band in a circle When I hear planet earth I picture him opening with it at the o2.. For me, I can't hear a song without seeing the look of the era But, when I hear Madonna, MJ, anyone else who is an icon, I don't have this. It's peculiar to prince. | |

I don't have visuals like that, per se. Sure, I may remember the video, but the music was there first. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

I imagine it to be red I don't know why! That's such an interesting talent, do people their talking voices have a colour too or music only? | |

What colour is Judas smile to you? I have the same thing, it's not every song but some songs i see colours or sense colours. It is a strange thing but it must evoke some sort of emotion. | |

Prince’ music alone is visual and tremendously aesthetic on itself. When I first discovered his music, I didn’t have any videos or live performances to draw from as frames of reference, the music and the way he set the mood for a particular song/album was sonically visual. | |

Easily...like when I'm listening to Kiss or Marilyn manson..why let the visual get in the way | |

I do but sometimes it’s hard because I think about what he probably looked like when he recorded a song which would have been in a completely different era to when it was released. It’s usually his hairstyle that I visualise. 3121... Don't U Wanna Come? |

You're all talking about "Synesthesia". Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

Rolling Stone Magazine can't. They gave the Graffiti Bridge Soundtrack a 4 1/2 star review before the movies release. Then the movie dropped and they apparently felt different about the music. In their published Album Guide(my copy is 2004) it's a 3 star review. Which is more accurate imo | |

laytonian said: You're all talking about "Synesthesia". Yes I do that too! Certain words and songs make me think of colours, and calendar months did that for me when I was little before I knew what it was | |

I rarely visualize the artists and never see colors when i listen to music...if its a song with vocals, i visualize myself as the lead singer if its male lead vocals... or if its a female lead singer, i visualize my my woman, past or present (depending on the era of the song)...if its an instrumental, i visualize myself playing the guitar parts (or drums if no guitars) with the rest of whatever band im listening to...when i want to visualize the artists performing, i mainly just watch their videos. | |

I cannot do it. The visuals/style/band/era is so particular to the music
Even when I listen to Pink Cashmere in the 90s I only see 88 Prince (and Anna Fantastic) etc styled
Now it depends but I can see 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' from 1972-1988 | |

I don’t have those kind of visuals. Mine is more like picturing the story he’s singing about and seeing the story play out in a scene. Maybe colors come and go but I don’t register them in an identifying way. | |

Same here--haven't watched the videos in years... Have different videos in my mind, except maybe for "When Doves Cry." "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato
