Is it just me or do you guys see certain colors when you listen to a Beatles song? Like, when I listen to SOmething, I see blues and greys everywhere. And when I listen to I've Just Seen A Face, I see oranges and reds and yellows. And for Across The Universe, I see pinks and purples and reds and all of these colors. Someone tell me they experience this, too.
No. I'm not on anything.
-
Don't eat random mushrooms you find k? ;)
I don't normally see colors when I listen to the songs HOWEVER, if I were to purposely think of colors while listening, I can imagine certain colors for certain songs.
-
sometimes i see colors, but more often than not, its an image, or little scene type thing that plays in my head. The wierd thing is, sometimes, i cant remember what the images are after the song is over, and i have to re-listen to it, and even then, if im thinking about it too much, i wont picture it. im just weird that way!

Interesting. You may have 'synaesthesia'. Don't worry, it won't hurt you! Have a read of these:

I only see color when the title of the song as Blue in it .
Other than that i see dead people (jumping)
-
I only see color when the title of the song as Blue in it .
Not even that: I see black when I listen to Yellow Submarine.
-

That most be the old bottom of the sea wreck version of Yellow Submarine
(teeth1)
-
^ Yellow Submarine: The Sequel ? Uh-oh. ;D
-
Seriously, some people do colours, I do everything in pictures. I mean everything. It's a little bit concerting sometimes.
-
i always see whatevers happening in a song like a little play in my head.....usually these plays seem to be black and white, i dont know why though, since i love colors. maybe those are just the colors that i see, and it just happens to be for every song!

*sings* The hills are alive with the sight of music!
I kinda do remember colors and pictures better than words and numbers.
I just saw pink and yellow while listening to I Call Your Name...
-
I'm kinda like that, freakchic... seeing colours and all. For example No Reply is sort of grey for me and What Goes On is teal :o ;D
But I also have some pretty weird associations when I listen to songs. For example, Eight Days a Week makes me think of a large orange telephone. Why (bigeyes1) And Yesterday makes me think of the colour yellow (maybe coz it's got a Y in it :-/ ...), or of a dark street corner with a dim street light. Yes. I'm very weird ;D
-
I always think of an orange telephone when I listen to Eight Days a Week....
-
^ .... probably because I've been telling you about it too many times... Look what I've done ;D Originally that song used to remind you of John and Ringo, if I'm not mistaken.
-
I always think of an orange telephone when I listen to Eight Days a Week....
... Why? And it's a telephone? Like, not orange markers? Just a phone?
When I see scenes for songs, they're usually in the colors I get. So like, with Mother Nature's Son, which is what I'm listening to, I'm getting greens and browns, but a scene. But the scene is in green and brown. I can't explain it well...
-
I always get pictures in my mind when I listen to songs, I mostly picture the story they are telling. Epecially like Eleanor Rigby, I totally see her and Father McKenzie, Like I could describe them to you. I am a very visual person though, even when I read books I alway envision what it is I am reading.
-
me too! i thought everybody did that, to tell you the truth!
-
What? Pictures? I get normal colored, or what I believe to be normal colored, pictures when I read or write. But when I listen to music, I go off into color land...
-
Hmm..... I'm not on drugs, but I see trippy rainbow colors when I listen to "Tomorrow Never Knows", and I see yellows, blues and greens during "Yellow Submarine." (But that's probably because those colors are mentioned in the song!)
-
When I listen to All Across the Universe I seem to think of rainbows, dont know why
-
... Why? And it's a telephone? Like, not orange markers? Just a phone?
Search me!
^ .... probably because I've been telling you about it too many times... Look what I've done ;D Originally that song used to remind you of John and Ringo, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes you are correct!
Flying seems to bring out the colours... especially blues and oranges and greens.
I Dont Want To Spoil The Party seems purple to me
-
'm listening to Oh! Darling. I think I'm seeig red, black, white, purple, and green.
I wanna see if we get similar colors.
-
i see blues and purples, maybe some reds..........our telepathy must be turned off.
-
We got purple in common. And red sometimes in common.
-
Listening to Don't Let Me Down. I'm getting blue, brown, red, and mint green.
-
oh, i didnt see the purple on yours! anywho, Dont Let Me Down. its kind of conservative, like you said brown, and im getting a rusty red, and colors like that.
-
I'm gonna do a study as of now. Okay. People who wanna participate, go on and participate. So, I wanna know what colors you guys see along with my own colors and I just wanna see if they're roughly the same between people of different genders, ages, and locations, but also time of say. Basically, I'll assign a song for a day probably every few days or so and you're gonna have to listen to ot at least three times: once in the morning, afternoon, and evening. You try to remember the colors you see and then you post them the next day.
I so hope I'm not my only supporter!
And the song for this week is: With A Little Help From My Friends.
You can start tomorrow.
-
i will participate! i dont know if i can listen to it every morning though, cause, school looms an hour after i wake up, and i dont have an ipod...
-
I know you. You have a stereo thing in your room! Just wake up with the needed CD and yeah. And it doesn't have to be straight when you wake up, either. While you're still yucky feeling is what I need for this experiment. So, you know how I bring my iPod to our bus stop around 7:00-ish? Well, usually, I'm still in zombie mode and I can listen then. And I wake up around 6:00.
-
ok, i guess i can try, though no promises! and sometimes, i dont see colors for every song, or every time i listen to a song....
-
*EXPERIMENT UPDATE*
So, I have officially decided that songs will change on Fridays or Saturdays. That is so you don`t have to listen to the songs three times a day if you don't want to.

BILLY SHEARS!
-
Yay, I like that song! ;D With A Little Help From My Friends... for some reason it makes me think of the colour red
-
oh my god, i think that is for everybody! it happens for me, my sister, and my dad! i asked my mom, but she didnt hear me, or wasnt caring....or maybe shes never heard the song! ??)
[size=18]RED[/size]! i dont even know why. it just is.
-
I get red, green, blue, and purple.
But I'm a complex girl on sweet tea.
-
Guess what colour i think of when i hear Baby's in Black? :P
-
^Pink?
Blue?
Purple?
Periwinkle?
-
i actually think of black, but also a deep, blue as well. like, navy blue.
-
*EXPERIMENT UPDATE*
Song changes tomorrow night at around 9:00-10:00 EST. Get in all your listens!
-
Alrighty all. It's time.
If you were a participant in my experiment, please state the colors you saw while listening to WALHFMF in the 3 states of the day.
Morning: Red, Yellow, and then sleep.
Afternoon: Red, Yellow, Green, then food.
Night: Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Blue, and then sleep.
The new song is...
Things We Said Today!
eGReIr_IVK8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGReIr_IVK8)
-
i think of Blue when i listen to the Sgt Pepper album, maybe because i think of blue skies and warm sunny days. thats what the weather was like when i discovered the beatles and that album! :)
-
Ahh! I forgot to listen! Okay, the song Things We Said Today is officially being extended to next week, you experiment followers.
-
Things we said today is forever associated with the chords Em and Am, and E maj for me, all of which are woodsmoke/dusky/deep greens and browns for me. Mmmmmm lovely ..... I can almost smell it...
-
Things We Said Today makes me think of dark blue, dark brown, and dark green....and not just dark, but also rich.
-
Okay, for You've Got to Hide Your Love Away I picture a dude leaningg his head against a wall (duh)
For Norwegian Wood I see a guy (John Lennon) walking into this girls groovy crash pad that has lava lamps and stuff, with an orange rug to sit on. And at the end of the song, I see an absolutely HUGE housefire with John cackling like mad throwing wood to feed the fire.
For I Want To Hold Your Hand I always picture the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.
And, finally, for both Baby's In Black and Twist and Shout I see the Beatles at Shea Stadium.
-
Nevermind. I got in my last listen.
For Thing We Said Today, I get dark blue, brown, gray, and yellow! Random, huh?
So, the next song is...
Think For Yourself.
evSkxq9jpe8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evSkxq9jpe8)
-
um, is it ok if i just listen to a song once? cause trust me, i always think of the same colors for a song, no matter when, where, or what.
-
^But what if everything goes black and white and all the same and you have to find a way out of our community with a blonde, curly haired baby? THEN WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!?!
Haha. Sure. I was thinking about that myself.
-
i would.......sing him Beatles songs to make him happy and think of colors!
ok, then i already have ones for this song. dark green, bright green, medium-ish orange, and bright red.
-
I have forrest green, marroon/brown, red, and a combo of colors. I'll illustrate.
(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll61/Beatles_Junkie_2234/ThinkForYourself.png)
-
thats........a yellow and black M. where did all the other colors go?!?!!?
-
Those just float around. But the yellow and black ic only in the intro. It's weird. It moves around and it's really funny.
-
ok....sweet tea again? :P
-
^No.
Pasta.
-
Okay all. The new experiment song is...
Mother Nature's Sun.
wJ63Qe1isl4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ63Qe1isl4)
-
Ok, Mother's Natures Son...I see alot of green, a dark green and browns....with a dash of purple.
I don't know if I am seeing that because I listened and closed my eyes and concentrated on colors....Who knows if it will come out the same again?
-
I think of colors for each song too.
I shall now list them! ;D
Come Together - Orange
Something - Golden
In My Life - Blue
Lovely Rita - Greenish..
Please Mr. Postman - Grey
Michelle - Indigo
I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Red - Orange - Yellow
Wild Honey Pie - yellow
Carry That Weight - Bright Yellow
Cry Baby Cry - Light Blue
Fixing a Hole - light purple to blue
But I think most of them are based on the album covers :P
-
^You get golden for Something? I get blue and gray. Dark and peaceful colors.
-
i was just going to comment on Something...I get black.
-
^You get golden for Something? I get blue and gray. Dark and peaceful colors.
I get golden probably because it is a happy song and I think of sunshine. Blue and grey seems to work too. :)
-
for this weeks some, i get bright green, dark green, brown, dark blue, and yellow. a bit obvious, really. i think.......
-
Whee! New song!
Martha My Dear:
LfIjrnG3y6w (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfIjrnG3y6w)
And for Mother Nature's Son, I get blue, red, orange, yellow, green, and brown.
-
M my dear - pink, grey, yellow, white
-
^ haha, "M my dear" ;D
I get white, grey and green... probably coz I'm imagining the doggie herself lying on the grass ^__^
By the way, about Oh Darling (which was discussed ages ago, haha) - that one is yellow for me :)
-
Maybe when i close my eyes and relax while listening to beatles songs... i can see colors.. that can happen anytime maybe... i'll do it now
-
for Martha My Dear, i see whiteish-creamish, light blue, and sometimes a splash of red
(hah! red, white and blue! im so patriotic....)
-
Sorry for no song update!
Anyways, the new song is...
I've Just Seen A Face.
xjphAmuAlJs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjphAmuAlJs)
-
For that, I see bright red, orange, yellow, blue, and black.
-
For I Just Seen a Face i see blue and green, like the sea you know
-

-
Okay. New song!

^Fine.
Happiness is a Warm Gun: Brown, red, maroon, blue, black, white, gray, yellow.

XoSXV5-Dbnk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoSXV5-Dbnk)
New song!
I Saw Here Standing There (featuring a shameless plug from me.).
I get purple, yellow, pink, red, and blue.
-
orange, red, yellow, a little reddish brown, and, actually, gray. its because of the scene in my head that i see, where theres color on certain people and things, while everything else is black, white and gray.....its actually really cool.
-
Red, Black, Pink, Blue.
Hey, freakie, yellow toothpicks taste good too. :)
-
Hello again to some of you from the past. Just checked in, to see what's going on.
Hey Jude always has me thinking of blue. But, I think it might be something to do with association with the cover of the 'blue album'.
Keep the message of peace and world justice going! :)
-
it's not so much that I see colors but sometimes I picture the film if it's a song from one of them.
some songs I just think of Paulie...ahhhh(inlove2)
-
^Yeah, same here. I just see the Beatles playing and singing in my head or just think about one of them in general. I'm sure a lot of people do that. And if it's the Night Before or something, I'll picture that video from the Help! movie.
I sometimes associate a song with the track number it is on a CD, which is weird. Like if it's I Feel Fine, I'll think of 7 since it's the 7th song on the One album, which I've heard many times. It's kinda stupid, and probably just comes from unintentionally memorizing the order of the songs or something.
-
New song!
I Saw Here Standing There
I see black and blue... with flashes of red, pink and yellow, like a disco-ball/disco lights. Probably coz I'm thinking of a dark dancefloor :)
-
