Thread Name: What songs do you 'see'?
Subject: RE: What songs do you 'see'?
... and I thought I was a freak. I have always "seen".

My most vivid pictures are for;

Bill Caddick's "Lily Marlene Walks Again" and
Cicely Fox Smith's "Jane Price of Swansea"

If I could draw or paint well enough, these two are so vivid they would make fantastic illustrations

In all tests I have done, I come out as a "hearer" and, true, if I have to learn facts for exams and the like, I put them onto tape and learn them that way, but when learning songs, I remember them by visualising the words on the page (I have even been known to "turn the page over"

I cannot understand how anyone can put meaning into a song without actually visualising "being there"
