I see numbers and dates, but not letters, as a color in my mind. The same color. ALWAYS.

haha, let's see, I taste sounds, see sounds, color associations with music, I sort of hear colors or light, sometimes I think I taste textures. I dunno, I get a lot of inbetween feelings from stuff too/strange micromoods. And understandably i kind of get a little confused sometimes between whether I'm seeing or hearing or what

I might also perceive personalities for objects/sounds but it's not 'clear' enough to say what exactly. It just seems anthropomorphic I guess

if there's a bigger/main topic on this then sorry for bumping this

btw this is my best approximation so far how a song might look to me, it's not any specific one though, and more one of my songs than anyone elses:

this whole song to me is like all sorts of extremes, all sorts of hue-shifting but primarily deep purple, this kind of deep syrupy taste and this ridiculous contrast of smooth/jagged sounds (although that part's pretty understandable to anyone)

the sound at 1:01 is exactly to me like an image of some glass shattering and then running in reverse

Numbers have shape, volume, and weight.

sound sometimes appears like flashes in the darkness -sometimes colour sometimes just white light but it's fragile...if I try to reach out to it or recreate it it vanishes..., or numbers and letters have personalities and are female or male...
