i’m not really a synesthete, i just associate music with colors and patterns. so, going straight to it:
• give yourself a try; i know it might feel like it's because of matty's hair, but the first time i listened to it, it was pure orange. in fact, a lot of a brief inquiry to me is in oranges, reds and yellows. so gyat it's that brighter orange mixing with stripes of yellow
• TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME; this one is pretty much like the base of the song is lilac, and the details are in yellows. both really light and pastel. this song calms me down with the visuals
• how to draw / petrichor; so... how to draw is more like lilac with the piano making some hints of yellow and pastel orange. the voices in how to draw bring a brighter orange. when petrichor comes in, the colors become stronger. i love the visuals i see in this one SO MUCH
• love it if we made it; the song itself reminds of a mix of purples and pinks, but with some hints of red. like, all towards red hues
• be my mistake; this one is such a pastel orange; with some pale greens. the shades remind me of some orange flowers, but their patterns are more like brush strokes
• sincerity is scary; this is soooooooo sunny. so yellow and orangey. i love it so much there's a little kindness also from pinkish, but barely
• i like america & america likes me; bright purple and yellow !!!!!! very chaotic actually and all over the place but the tones in this pic are so close
• the man who married a robot / love theme; so... this one is purple based. but the hints change from one part to another. on the poem, the voice brings a yellow. these yellows change into an orange when the violins hit in the love theme. it's quite beautiful
• inside your mind; so... in this one, the colors twist around each other. it's primarily pink, but there's a hint of many different colors
• it's not living (if it's not with you); this one is pure orange. there's really not much with it
• surrounded by heads and bodies; this one has hints of neon yellow/green and orange, and it goes >darker<. i kinda like it but it bothers me sometimes
• mine; it's delicate and calm and bright and yellowish. love it, feels really good
• i couldn't be more in love; this one is powerful. so powerful. i tried to find a good representation and i think it goes beautifully like this picture. silky texture with bright passionate and powerful tones. i love it so much
• i always wanna die (sometimes); so this one always becomes quite messy as it grows and it pulls me in. so thought of this to represent since it's also colorful
