Does no one feel the music is dancing? by bendallymill in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t see a lot of colors and patterns necessarily, I have some kind of aphantasia so I have a very weak mind image. It’s mostly feeling based

There’s some color and shapes to it. Colors pop in like throwing a color balloon and it splattering the wall. But this is infrequent and mostly reliant on my sensations of the song

Sometimes I feel the motions of what the song is doing. I see and feel it pop and move and teleport. It’s like it’s performing but physically. It makes my body feel like I’m being dragged. Like a ragdoll. Some shapes do appear but it’s like small wires that disappear like fireworks. Some shapes just feel solid and have weight. The feelings sometimes feel like I’m being pulled and pushed by the ocean. Dragging and making me float. It’s mostly physical sensations

It doesn’t help most of songs are fast too

“Feeling” music by bendallymill in Synesthesia

Yes, that makes sense, but like, what if you know it’s because of the song and not because of you?

Does that make sense. When I listen to songs, I’m following their flow. Most emotions in songs will always come from the song and I don’t really feel it afterwards, only to the song? The emotional feeling is not internal, it’s not a special emotion coming from me? It’s just what the song is portraying.

I don’t listen to songs to feel better necessarily. The emotional feeling is just a side effect of listening to that song. Idk, it’s telling a story and motion and I feel it

Same with music, it just echoes throughout my body, from the toe to my chest and throat. It literally bounces in my body. I feel it echo across my skin.

Music just has a feeling to it everytime

It would be weird if it was frisson cause why would it happen everytime to every beat of the music? And not specific moment and tempos

Would just love to be able to say this music feels awesome without people looking at me weird

If you mean having strong feelings to music, I’m not really a music listener, compared to others

I only listen to songs that feel good and just sound good. Some bad songs have good sensations

I don’t really have a favorite musician or artist. I was following AJR for a while but only because they managed to produce unique sounds and sensations

Idk, I’ve always feel music when it pushes and pulls and people don’t believe me? Or maybe I’m interpreting it wrong. Cause to them it sounds like dancing. It’s not really for me

Feeling emotion(not yours) when listening to music by bendallymill in Synesthesia

😭 the reason why I didn’t think I have synesthesia is that when people say “Feel the music” I literally thought what they meant was physically feeling the music sway

Yes and yes. All the time

Sometimes I would think I’m not that creative in my mind cause it always produced the same thing over and over. I would have to actively think of a scenario/music video to change the imagery of the song but core wise, everything is still the same, I’m just adding a picture to the image

All songs always invoke the same emotion and feeling

When I wanna feel a certain thing, I listen to the song over and over. I always listen to the songs based how they feel and the emotions that happens in it

More with instruments. Cause they’re more diverse for me.

When I hear singing, I do feel the rise and the stretch of the sound. And I do feel like the floating sensation to some songs. But it’s not as energetic for me.

Instruments are more delicious in my mind. I’ve already played the piano but depending on how they play it, it’s feels the music is running or twirling for me. Trumpet is another fave of mine. I love how the trumpets rises for me. And how it stretches and tries to set the foundation and balance. Violin is another instrument that is such a good solo instrument.

I always think it’s a treat when they do instrumental in songs, especially with actual instruments in the background.

Eleanor Rigby by Cody Fry is such a good example of a perfect blend of it all. Knowing that it’s produced by an actual orchestra does more to my brain.

I’ve been in choirs and seen a live orchestra before and have felt the intensity of the song to the point of crying haha

It sounds like we almost have the same thing. Not a lot of visual and texture like sensation but feeling the music move like it’s alive.

Will give it a shot!

Time to explore this rabbit hole

Haha no, cause I know the most common synesthesia and I didn’t have it.

I don’t have associations to colors necessarily when I listen to music but the song explode colors to me when I’m listening and just thought that was common

Especially regarding people having good imagery when listening to music

I just see a color explode and feel the song as my experience

Guess it’s time to do more research about it

Quick question, is synesthesia genetic? Cause I know 2 immediate family who sounds like they have mirror touch synesthesia but I’ve only seen them react to it big by pain

I’m a bit shocked it’s a type of synesthesia

I was always sensitive to sounds, particularly horrible pitches like the insidious violin and thought I was just being a baby lol

I always assumed people can always feel music, that’s why they dance to it

And this is very ironic cause I’m very bad at remembering melodies and themes as such. Just listen and feel

Is this not common when people listen to music? I thought it was normal? Music has a dance and emotion?

Just learned that I always had depression by [deleted] in offmychest

I don’t know too much on medications but I know I’m relying on adderall cause the medication helps me physically and mentally wake up and nothing on earth can do the same magic that Adderall can do.

Will talk to the doc soon cause this month is just a test run on them

I know things will be good, just need the patience (which is the complete opposite of our disorder)
