In the psychological phenomenon known as "synesthesia," individuals' sensory systems are a bit more intertwined than usual. Some people, for example, report seeing colors when musical notes are played.

One of the most common forms is grapheme-color synesthesia, in which letters or numbers (collectively called "graphemes") are highlighted with particular colors. Although synesthesia has been well documented, it is unknown whether these experiences, reported as vivid and realistic, are actually being perceived or if they are a byproduct of some other psychological mechanism such as memory.

Seeing colours when hearing music.

Does seeing a wisp of steam leaving the body at the instant of death count if no one else sees or saw it?

I'd never have thought of that name!

I just remember it, because I was fascinated by it.

I'm just a bit envious as I reckon I might get music if I could see it in colour, instead of being a half deaf old git. laugh

I just feel music.

I am not a musical person, bit some music just penetrated to the soul.
