Kami-chan's Musical Associations

Sort by: Showing 7 items

Surprisingly Gymnopedie No. 1 lets me automatically associate with snow, falling slowly and and having a soothing effect (and not rain).

2. Pachelbel Canon / Ocean Sounds - Anastasi

When hearing this variation of the Canon I always get the mental picture of standing on a mountain (or tall building) and watching the sunset. In me the music creates a feeling of vastness and something coming to an end.
[Although the classic version rather brings something royal with it that might let me associate it with a spring landscape in broad daylight.]

3. Karl Jenkins - Palladio

This song starts out and immediately I see before me the Notre Dame de Paris, ash and an approaching thunder-storm.

4. Old Boy - Yeong Wook Jo

I do not neccessarily associate it with the film when I only hear 'The Last Waltz'.
In my head there's a picture of someone going on a lonely merry-go-around (actually the one with the tea cups) in the evening.

5. The Sims

"Building Mode 1" first of all gives me a nostalgic flashback to my childhood and then the song joins with the image of a cold January day when there is no more snow. A person sits inside, warmly dressed, warming his/her hands on a tea cup and watching the silent scenery outside through an opened window.

"Primo Tempore" makes me feel like I'm sitting on bench in a lonesome church. A church somewhere far from everyone else, seated in a landscape with meadows. (With the only light coming from the mosaic windows.)

Here's a short audio sample of 'Primo Tempore' because, alas, I couldn't find any other source.

7. The National - The National

This song transports me to a secluded shelter at a train station. Someone sitting there at night, watching the tracks and the land behind it. And not one train ever comes by.




I have realized that there are a couple of songs that create a very clear image in my mind. So now I'm in the process of listing them. Why not? :P

I really enjoyed your visualizations with these songs. I get very vivid images from music as well. It's wonderful to just fall into one's imagination when the right song comes along!
