Incredibly, I thought I was the only person this ever happened to. Most music I listen to becomes associated with a color in my head.
And I voted Red. LK/RS is blood-red in my mind.

ColdLogic, I even associate music to sort of "buildings" or places in my head, not visually, it's strange, I don't see these things, I just feel them when I hear the music. Like my mind needs something it doesn't have when there's just audio. Sometimes these feelings change and I look at the music from a different perspective. Saddly, this erased some personal feelings on some other band's songs and made me look at it like everybody seems to look at the songs.

Yeah I know I'm crazy, lol.

Purple, but Violet is close enough.

V I O L E T

Gray.

"Am I alive or am I dead?"

Was the experience real or was it hallucinated?

Its neither black or white, just...

Gray.

Alive = Red
Dead = Blue

Rosetta Stoned = Violet

Its a dirty orange with brown undertones. Maynard's vocals are a pukey yellow.

nice thread. i voted violet. Third Eye is red to me. It's what i see when i hear the "prying open my third eye" part

Lou Reed - Perfect Day : yellow
Simon and Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York : a bright shiny green

Cool thought.

everytime i hear Rosetta stoned and the lyrics hit "then a flaming stealth banana split the sky ect." I imagine the person from the song looking to the sky. suddently a huge gash of white light split the sky open, and everything around the person turns to red.

i could be awesome to do a animated video for the whole lost keys/rosetta stoned. it would be a awesome story.

the song, for me of course, starts off in black, fades to bluish greenish, then to redish blackish at the end segments...

I always imagine a real banana coming out. :(

The only Tool song I get any real visual for is Eon Blue Apocalypse.

I'm thinkin of something... Blue..

Something BLOOO-OOO!!!

Violet is catching up. Red sucks.

Dark blue and red.

In my opinion it moves around the colour spectrum but I went of oranges due to its more violent nature compared to lost keys

uhhmm IMO you guys are fucking crazy...Colors with Sound?

I mean yeah when i hear Tool songs I See visual things, almost like scenes out of a movie. but its like when you read a book. But ive never actually seen a straight color....yikes...

There is a condition called...right so i don't know the name of it....but people associate colors with music. It's supposed to be rare. I think Mozart had it...or maybe Beethoven. Wait no Beethoven was deaf...


BTW...Rosseta Stoned is definietly a Red song.

I don't think that could be any more contradictory. Thanks.

Same with me.

"weeping shades of chosen indigo"

Idk...I think it was all the red on this page...

•°Fading inlays of orbiting teal, with a backround of static black and almost red, pulsating light, followed by a stunning white flash in certain parts·•.

RS is defo red

Tool are really the only band i see colours with, but now i think of it every song has an obvious colour. Jambi is yellow, the pot is black, WFM is a dark blue.

and GREY is how u spell it, Gray is a name

Rosetta Stoned is a mixture of red and black to me.
Third eye is blue and yellow.

...o_O

Its not at all silly.
Maroon

This is interesting...never thought there would be a clear winner. I thought this post was dumb at first, glad i held my tounge.

I think its a swirling vortex of red and black.

Right, most people don't HEAR colors in music, but many many people associate colors with music. Some people here say they "see" colors with certain songs. Is that really the case, or are y'all saying "see" when you really mean "associate" or maybe "visualize" in your head??

For me, I've never really gotten any colors to this new album. Aenima is a different story though for me.

Stinkfist=bluish purple
Eulogy= Dark Blue
H= Orange
46&2, Jimmy and Pushit= Green
HWa/P= Metallic and Red
Aenema= Dark Dark Blue
Third Eye= Greyish,Whitish, Metallic/Silver

most of the other albums don't really resonnate wiht me in that way, maybe that's why Aenima is my favorite album

some other songs though

Schism- Dark Dark Red
Parabol- A very light Purple, lavender maybe
Parabola and Lateralus- many different colors

Black isn't a color, it's a lack of color! :P
