Okay, so I was thinking about this the other day while walking to work. All my life I've always been a vary visual person, I see things in colours. In my head, each day of week has a colour attached to it (monday=red, tuesday=green, wednesday=orange, thursday=navy blue, friday=silver, saturday=white, sunday=yellow). So I started to think about the songs on Day One (and the other albums) and what colours came up when I thought of/listened to each song. I don't know if anyone else thinks like this but I'd thought I'd share my "findings".

Day One, the album itself: A mixture of gold, brown and green.

1. Pilgrim - Brown, Green, and Orange
2. Lucky Me- Purple, Navy Blue, and Red
3. Mary - Pink, White, Silver
4. California - Black, Red, and White
5. Day One - Pale Yellow, Green, and Purple
6. Out In The Park - Brown, Dark Green and Sky Blue
7. Vertigo - Purple, Silver and Black
8. When Another Midnight - Black, Navy Blue, White, Red
9. The Score - Brown, Dark Green, and Red
10. Your Wish Is My Wish - Pale Purple, Pale Yellow and Gold
11. Wake Up - Light Blue, Purple, and Silver
12. Somebody's Arms - Yellow, Red, and Orange

Hopefully this all makes sense...feel free to share your interpretations!

i dunno. you might be a synesthete. look into it. they're people whos senses can react with each other, the have too many sense experiences. labelling colour to unobjectified things is the most common of it. are they always the same colours for like the alphabet as well? that's pretty cool though

yeah, they pretty much don't change after I associate a colour with whatever I'm associating it with.

I tend to have shades for CDs for me too. They can often be influenced by the booklet of the album as well which is why when I burn a full CD or have one without a booklet, I actually can't enjoy the CD itself.

1. Pilgrim - navy blue
2. Lucky Me - greenish
3. Mary - navy bluish
4. California - lighter blue
5. Day One - red/blue
6. Out In The Park - seablue
7. Vertigo - very pale blue, almost white
8. When Another Midnight - dark red/dark green
9. The Score - seablue
10. Your Wish Is My Wish - lighter blue but not pale
11. Wake Up - white
12. Somebody's Arms - reddish

I do see shades to most of the songs fairly easily but some are a little harder. The more I know a CD, the more the songs are able to be differentiated by colour.

i saw a documentary on cbc once, about people who associate colors with everything...like you say, days of the week, songs, months.....

the only detail i remember pertaining to the documentary was when one of those being interviewed made a comment about when he was learning the alphabet, as a child.
he was having trouble writing an "R", as i remember...eventually, after much explanation and prodding from his teachers, and parents, etc....he finally realized "oh, its like taking a yellow and making it brown" (i may have mixed up the colors, but that is the comment he made)

i thought it was very interesting
this same person said that if you asked him to make a list of all the colors of the alphabet (sounds so weird, but...), then the list he made for you today would be exactly the same as when he was learning the alphabet as a child. no derivation whatsoever.

i personally, dont think in colors....though i do sing in metaphors
