A hesitant response to @mipiano's post of the Spread the vibes challenge, well, I feel that more than a challenge this is a form of transition for the perceptions caused by the feelings aroused by the music; I also realize that, more than a hesitant response, it is a pleasure and a thrill to be able to be part of these currents of transmission of vibes.
@mipiano, I confess that I didn't really understand the humor of The Upside Down Show, it's also because it's hard for me to understand the joke of something if it's told to me in another language 🤣. But if, you allow me as an additional opinion, I can say that the compilation of the music of the guy who makes his mega relaxing music from a room (Óraful Arnalds) transmitted me a feeling of inner harmony that touched the transcendental, I think it's a music that can even be used to meditate.
A contribution with colors.
Originality is a quality that is born from the inspiration and reference that gives us the idea and the work of another person, this is something that applies to artists of all kinds; influence is also an impulse to find originality. Why do I say this? Well, I realized how interesting this challenge is thanks to the user @ewkaw, who in his
Spread the vibes post
about a week ago classified the music in relation to the numbers. I found this method really fascinating and I liked it a lot, so I thought of doing something similar but with colores! By the way, @ewkaw, that music selection was really good, you included artists I love like Sting, George Michael and the group U2 (which is one of my mother's favorite British bands).
Synesthesia is for me a quality, this is a capacity that certain people develop naturally, associating sounds or notes with colors, that is to say, they can listen to a song or a specific sound and automatically see a color at the same time they hear and perceive the sound. Actually, I do not possess such a characteristic, I am simply trying to relate songs with colors but through a very meditative method, that is, I have to think and digest the characteristics of the song to relate it with some color after a careful analytical process (what we have to do the incapable ones to emulate these qualities).
SOURCE
Red:
Queen - Don't stop me now.
This song is a classic of this great band, who hasn't heard it? Or who has not been involved in the movement and charisma of this song? Do't stop me now is a song that insists and persists in the idea of having no limits in the desire to reach the goal, a bomb about to explode, a rocket that is going to take off; I think all this is synonymous with that primary color of strong and bright tone (red) which transmits the passion and energy present in the song.
Blue:
Zoé - Moon.
Honestly, I feel that blue is the most abundant color in music. I had many choices that called for this tonality, really many, but I feel that this song despite being a bit "cloying on a lyrical level" is very beautiful and simple at the same time on a harmonic level. I think that being able to manifest beauty in simplicity is a wonderful achievement and a characteristic of the color blue. The calmness and melancholy in this song are the blue shades that predominate to give as insignia to this tonality.
Orange:
Gustavo Cerati - Alive.
One of my favorite songs in life. Alive conveys a subtle, melancholic, mysterious and mystical emotion; all at the same time. Maybe purple would have been more interesting, but nope. Despite the aforementioned characteristics of the song, Alive has qualities of great power and intention of happiness, in the chorus part we have a falsetto with the note "la - 5" which is a piece of the song that invites an indescribable feeling of being able to feel what life is, what the gift of being here is; the blessing and happiness of being able to feel love on a material plane. To be alive is the greatest feeling of the spirit, the color orange is a light but very bright and energetic color that conveys more than just strength, it conveys life.
Purple:
The Polis - Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle is a song I love! I feel that, in spite of being a very up-tempo classic rock, it also has some melancholic and mysterious melodies. Its lyrics speak of a message sent from a position of loneliness and emptiness called a shipwreck, a message that is issued along with millions of other messages of help to the outside world to find an answer to this unforeseen problem of austerity and hunger. The color purple seemed to me on this occasion very pertinent due to its melancholic texture but at the same time very striking. The song brings together qualities and messages of sadness and despair but at the same time a very moving and hopeful rhythm, just like the color purple, isn't it?
Green:
Bob Marley - One love.
I can perceive the color green as a shade full of freshness, peace, harmony, life. This is a color that brings together many qualities, because it is not a strong color but it is not a weak color either, it transmits a lot of life but not too much energy like red or orange, it also transmits a lot of peace but not too much tranquility like blue. This is a color that goes beyond everything thanks to its characteristic related to healing. One love is a song by the great Bob Marley, which has spiritual messages of forgiveness, praises to the Supreme and a call to stillness of mind and soul; a perfect choice to relate it to a color of such qualities as green.
Yellow:
Dua lipa - I'm free
Yes, I'm not the most commercial with my tastes, but when I hear this Dua Lipa song I automatically think of the color yellow. The truth is that the lyrics are very brief, just talk about the intention of wanting to do whatever you want without paradigms and with complete freedom. Yellow is a very bright color, very cheerful, basically essential in aspects of light and brightness. Yellow is purity in brightness, it is not such a deep color but it is very cheerful and transparent, as well as majestic and charismatic.
Black:
Agnes Obel - Familiar.
Have you seen the netflix series "Dark"? If you have seen it comment me something, don't be lazy 🤣🤣. That series is really good, I watched it with my girlfriend like until the second season. What's interesting is that the dreamtrack of this series is very good, and in one of the chapters comes out this song by Agnes Obel, which at the beginning seemed to me like a hard hit in the chest, linked to a psychotic event of sadness and mystery. The color black is a shade full of emptiness, uncertainty, fear and sometimes sadness; but its quality is the "creative emptiness" of the darkness something will always be born, it is part of nature. Perhaps darkness is not the absence of something but, rather, darkness is the lack of ability to observe and have vision regarding what we cannot see or understand. In the darkness there are many things, only that we cannot perceive it, because the true darkness is blindness, it is not being able to see.
Well, that's all for today! I hope you enjoyed this synaesthetic journey with a quite varied playlist.
I'd like to thank @mipiano for the invite and @ewkaw for inspiring me to do something interesting.
If I had to invite someone to this #spreadthevibes challenge I'd say I don't know who.... Wait! I think @musicandreview might join (if he didn't already in the past) to contribute to this #spreadthevibes chain. I really wouldn't know who else to invite, but well, brother @musicandreview I hope you're feeling well and can (if you want to) join this is very cool.
I'm glad you followed up on the invite by MiPiano. And so quick as well!
Upside/Down: MiPiano is crazy. That's the answer to that {😂😂😂} But but but its this 🙃 an upside-down smiley. I suppose MiPiano is living the world like that. Maybe hanging down from some tree? I donno. I just realised she didn't respond to that part. The whole upside/down started with a post I wrote in a strange mood. She then picked it up and used it for her story around her share, the two guys from New Zealand. That country is exactly on the other side of the planet to Spain where she lives. Kinda upside down, right?
Synesthesia: you created a perfect angle to the post you responded to by Ewkaw (by the way: it's a 'she' not a 'he' but that aside). I think it was my 2nd post ever on HIVE (well, it was Steem back then) where I shared a painting by someone having such abilities. It's this post: https://ecency.com/post/@edje/beautiful-painting-by-melissa-mccracken-an-artist-with-synesthesia Very short post, I was still learning. Discovered this painting which is the artist interpretation of John Lennon's song 'Imagine'. One of John's songs I truly LOVE and the painting I do LOVE as well 😍 The painting is a returning profile background at various social media services for me.
I see this {lol}
Well, I dont know how you found it out. I was not aware that it is so obvious. Maybe you talked to my family, so they told you. Anyway, if not, here comes again one real and unrevealed story. I was little (to not so little later), and for some reason, I was always humming or singing something when had to sit and eat. I think it was a bit annoying so the older family members were telling me every time: The wife of your husband will be crazy. I didn't like when they were saying that hahahah, but still, seems that family is always right.
😱😱😱
they are not nice!
fortunately, I'm not family, so all goes! 😂😂😂
😂 hahha, you see, you are a fortunate one 😂
😂
There are things I pass under the table 🤣.
I didn't know ewkaw was was a girl 😮 I always get this with users.
I'm really sorry for not responding to is part. 😔
You understood this a little wrong :) No worries. I was saying about MiPiano that MiPiano didn't respond to the upside/down part in your post 😂 Therefore I did 🙃

Hurray, a Spread the Vibes post with colours !!! :)))) After numbers, now colours, but how cool and incredible, you would not believe, last night coming home from work, I listened to the radio in my car and the topic was Alexander Skriabin, his work Poem of the Fire, and synesthesia. I thought how great topic and point of view, the belief that Skriabin had that ability is actually not true but... Well, I can't reveal more, as maybe I would like to write it one day in a post ahahahah :)))
Thank you for joining the Spread the Vibes challenge, much appreciated 😇
You see, I told you in my invitation, you would figure out the best way how to do it :) And you found Ewkaw for inspiration! Super 🎵🎵🎵
hey hey, you didn't explain the upside/down part... Therefore I did. I hope you don't mind 😆 if you do, we have an edit button available. bit not sure if I'll use it 😂
haha, ok,ok, I didn't explain, but luckily you arrived and saved the situation 😇 😆
So offered edit and then refused service anyway? Out of service? 😁
Well, must be one of those vague services, from the contract...😂
vague confusing service 😱 😆
experts on charge 😅
@mipiano what a divine coincidence you tell me! The universe conspires in our favor, the connection between minds is undeniable!
Yes, better save that topic for an upcoming post 😉.
Thank you for believing in me! 🙏😃🤗💯
You are welcome, and you did a very very nice post!! Thank You for the follow up 😇
Hello my friend! I'm a little late but here I am. Of course I will join this challenge, as soon as I get a chance I'll get going. I hope to meet your, @mipiano's and everyone's expectations in this distinguished community.
