I am obliged to do a shout-out to my dear friend in real life Hallie who has turned her dinning room into a successful jewelry store/paint shop? She has this brain thingy where she can mentally visualize music and she paints and sells personalized song paintings as well as handmade sterling silver and gold jewelry. She’s a really great friend and I am so so proud of her. @halliescorner

Oh my goodness thank you so much!!!! I didn’t think you’d really do it!! It’s funny how we realized that we were each other the other day because she uses an alias. (Smart girl.) This is a friend of mine that writes (well used to. She’s a bit busy lately) cool Hamilton (the musical) fanfiction if you’re into that. Go check her out. @imagineimeliza

After lots of in-depth independent research, I am 99% certain I can give you a good solid explanation of why the heck I see music.

Basically, they call it “synthesia” (spellings vary) and it’s this neuroligcal thingy where the senses are crossed. Some people have it where they can smell colors, taste sounds, basically any combination of senses that are all jumbled up. Some people are “projective” which means they physically see/smell/hear/taste something from the other sense tells it to. The most common one I looked at was audio/visual and the sound-created picture basically covers up what they actually see. Or they really taste the texture. Very overwhelming.

Or, there are people like me who have it very mildly and either just see it in their minds eye or head voice or whatever and some have to really focus to single it out and undersand it.

The reason I am so sure I have this and am not just nuts (of course, I could very well be wrong I’m no doctor) is because of the other issues people with synthesia routinely have that I have, in fact, been officially confimed to have or family has. Not to mention well, how else do I explain that when I focus on music I can see the corresponding colors, line direction, width, transition etc.

So yeah. That’s basically it. I have yet another neuological disorder to add to my list that is a frequently undiagnosed diorder of the sensory nerves.

I realized I haven’t explained what the heck I mean when I have paintings of songs

I think it’s technically called synthesia which means a crossing of the senses. Mine being a visual/audial cross. I don’t really care that much about what the scienctific term not do I understand it, I only know that when I listen to music I can sort of see what it would look like. If I focus I can get really clear mental images of songs. I can see the colors and the layers of the song create lines of various thickenesses and directions.

It is not the lyrics that I listen to, it’s the actual sounds. For instance, when I painted Santa Fe lots of people expected more oranges and yellows because they were thinking of desserts but the instruments and basic sounds made all of those greens and blue and yellow. The voice made colors, the volume, the pitch, the rhythm, the progression, all of that works together to make these pictures.

It’s not an exact science, but over the years of listening to music and seeing it in my head, I began to try to move my mental image to a canvas. I’ve been painting songs for ages this way and now I am finally opening it up for people to request any song that you want. So please! Ask me to paint you a song! I’ll do it! Maybe you could even make your way over to my store and buy a painting of a song?
