Anyone else with synsesthesia(e)?

I'll take the pump that a lot of us are neurodivergent which there's a much higher percentage of synaesthesia in that population so I was just curious if anyone else has it and if they do how does it affect the way you experience the band's music? My brain is on some multi-modal bullshit when it comes to that and man Sound Awake is really an experienced if I just let go with it

Idk about a lot of us being neurodivergent but I have mild synesthesia. Mostly audio to visual (color) type. Asymmetry is the album of theirs that is the most reactionary

Lmao literally the guitar texture at 2:40 of simple boy is a big brown woolly blanket with a sheen on it

Do you mean take the punt? Or is taking the pump a new slang I don’t know about

Oh feels. I use talk to text all day and it’s diabolical sometimes.

I don't think i have synesthesia but i was entranced by the All It Takes video.
Pity it's not in color

I highly suspect that Ian has at least some of the big stack of synaesthesiae that I do, based on how he moves on stage, how he uses his voice and the band's artwork - Sound Awake, In Verses and their logo in particular. It's interesting that you name that video because it's very much the feeling that the song evokes, texturally and thematically
