i was sitting on my roof last night, with the smooth sounds of john mayer dancing in the air, and i had a scathingly brilliant idea.

'slow dancing in a burning room' is one of my favourite songs of all time.

because it suspends time. it feels alive. you're in it.

if you can feel music, if you can hear it- who is to say you can't see it?

who's to say i couldn't paint what i hear? the long drones of that heavy, hollow guitar, 

the cry of those piercing notes, the angelic acoustic in the background, or the constant heavy beat holding it together.

who's to say i can't paint them? i think i can. 

use colours to show the notes and chord progression, uses different brushstrokes to illustrate the length and pressure of the notes themselves.

i think it would be incredible.

i'm going to go try.
