Hearing Colour


My mate was talking to me the other day, and he said he'd love to be able to see the colours I see.  They are beautiful colours, but do get annoying. Some days I love them, other days I want them to go away. But this mate, he made me realise just how lucky I am. And it sounds silly, but I'm always going to be in his debt for that!!

My mates voice is this shade of green that is so magical and rare. It looks like the colour of Hazel leaves when it's been raining and the setting sun shines in them through the trees. It's such a rare magical shade that you fall in love with it instantly. It's so pure and fresh. There is nothing quite like it!!

When he speaks to me in Spanish, the shade if green changes. It turns into this odd mix of a sort of teal and olive green which then gets mixed with white. It's strangely beautiful!!

I also see music in all these amazing colours and shapes. It can be overwhelming as there can be so many colours.

 To me when Alela sings her voice is this dark greeny-blue shade that has the texture of a woolen scarf and feels like that scarf is being wrapped around your shoulders. When the lower voice joins in there is this underlyer of a deep but bright indigo colour that is more purple than blue. Then underneath there is the green curvy lines of the guitar that spiral in the deep black background that makes all the other colours stand out. Then the faint light blue- almost baby blue- blurred shapes are bouncing in and out with the clapping.
