One of my new favorite songs is "Colors" by Halsey. In the song, she characterizes her changing self and her lover to colors. This song has captured my interests for a very interesting reason: I have Chromesthesia, a condition that allows myself to see colors when I listen to music. It is defined as "sound-to-color synesthesia in which heard sounds automatically and involuntarily evoke an experience of color."

I adore Halsey because of her unique music production and her lyrics that seem to reflect the sensation of color that I experience. I enjoy listening to classical music as well, because the complex music paints a fascinating picture in front of me. I can't usually listen to music, talk, and drive at the same time because I become way too distracted. The best way to describe the sensation is to imagine you're dunking your head into a pool of water with all of these different dyes in it. I go "under" a certain state of colors once music is being played. The colors often have to do with the individual notes of the piece and the mood the artist brings to it.

Colors I see in popular music:

1. "Electric Love" - BORNS - light purple and gold

2. "The Feeling" - Justin Bieber and Halsey - black and turquoise

3. "The Hills" - The Weeknd - black and gold

4. "Mr. Brightside" - The Killers - light blue, rose, and white

5. "New Romantics" - Taylor Swift - bright purple and neon pink

6. "Sweater Weather" - The Neighborhood - black and white

7. "7 Years" - Lukas Graham - light blue, white, and black
