"I see colors when I hear your voice." - Beautiful.
I know i kinda got chills
Well for synesthetes that’s actually sometimes true
WHAT?! Your high! His music is nothing short of phenomenal! If you don't get chills when you hear it, there's definitely a problem. In every song you can hear the passion and hard work that he puts into EVERY song he writes. He is great at making you feel that. His passion is what makes him remarkable as an artist. He will always be my favorite, along with Matt Nathanson.

Well said, still going strong 10 years later ❤
His songs are the soundtrack to the most beautiful time in my life.
Your cute. Anyway, the most beautiful time of you life is now....
Robert Seal i needed to hear that.
I'm currently studying Zen and Tao fulltime. I have no agenda, if you need to talk let me know.
Robert Seal my email is saralynncampbell@gmail.com if you want to talk!
His music has accompanied me through many very hard and very brilliant time periods in my life. I assume you mean all of his music, not just the music under his actual name, but if you don't know Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate, those are his old solo project and band, and they're his very best music, in my opinion. Everything In Transit is his first solo album by Jack's Mannequin and he finished writing it on the day he found out he had leukemia. It's probably my favorite of all his material. The Glass Passenger was the next Jack's Mannequin album that he put out after his battle with leukemia, and it's also really powerful. His music with his actual band (Something Corporate) is all amazing, too, but North is probably my favorite album. I'm sure you already know these albums, but just in case you only knew his recent music under his real name, you REALLY have to get his other music. At least start with Everything In Transit :) I do like his newer stuff, but Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin is some of the best music I've heard in my life. He's an amazing person.
His voice is a sky blue color with a whispy texture. The beginning is different shades of orange and the verses have these jagged line of red along with yellow bursts. The chorus has blue and yellow condensed circles of light on the side with the same red + his voice again moving between them. Also, this song is totally my anthem :)
I have synesthesia and it's so cool to finally hear a song about it! it goes by unnoticed a lot. :)
Same! I agree, it does go unnoticed.
Lynessa Patterson what’s it like?
Canyon Moon triggers mine something fierce. Painting is fun when music triggers it and you go on to paint what's happening when you hear it.
I learned about it because of this song
I have it too. Letters, numbers and some words have colors. Music has colors. Words spell themselves out in my head.
Synesthesia is awesome. I'm so lucky to have it.
Me too, usually after ingesting funky fungi.
I was born with sound-sight synesthesia. I thought people normally saw {time as linear, and sounds as shapes and colors, and numbers, letters, and even specified days of the month ans the months themselves as defined colors} until late middle school.
Hearing a normal song can be like a sober acid trip sometimes...and I am learning to play the piano, violin, and guitar at the age of 24 because of it. It gets so beautiful in my head that I sometimes I get emotional, because I wish people understood the beauty I can see simply from sound frequencies. Coldplay really gets me in particular, and this song.
For my fellow synesthetes out there, our braines were naturally wired to connect separate sensual frequencies without drugs.
We have a beautiful gift.
Lows in the song are dark green, highs are yellow, bubblegum pink, fire engine red and pops of sky blue. His voice however is grey and looks like skinny jeans and brown hipster boots.
+William Diaz pretty much the same here!
+William Diaz Fuck! hahahah NAILED it.
I didn't get the red though. Hadn't let it develop that far into the song yet. knew there was some shock in that texture somewhere though. Couldn't get past his voice.
Yes, I noticed grey but I wasn't sure about where xD Now I know it's in his voice
This song is like light yellow
isabella condon no orange
I think yellow, green, white, red, and blue 😂😂
What are you talking about, it's obviuosly green 😉
blueberries
Eucalyptus-leaf green with a twinge of sunshine yellow ☺️
This song helps me to fall asleep. I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean that when I play it it reminds me of all my happy childhood memories and I fall asleep quite happily.
TLDR; wonderful song
the most underrated musician,he should be more famous than justin bieber *no offense*
no offense? i take your comment as a good opinion
i just scared bieber's fans attack me hahah oh thanks.i just want to say that andrew should be get more attention
Beiber fans? THERE ARE NO BEIBER FANS HERE
Yeah justin just retired of being shit btw hahah
***** Because beiber fans don't listen to decent music!
I can see the colors running, when I hear the music play... Andrew, I know you don't know most of your fans, but to some of us you are a lifelong friend. Thanks for always being there for me through your music... Congrats on all you have accomplished!
Every time I hear his music I can't believe that every single song is just as amazing as the other. It's VERY difficult to achieve that but Andrew definitely some how does it.
🙌yeeees👏
This song was orange, purple, and a darker kind of green. When I closed my eyes I saw a medium circle of orange like popping to the first beat. Then the purple was like a line of small dots that played the second beat of the song. And the green was in a bunch of swirly lines that would move throughout the whole picture. When they all played together I felt a sense of joy and I immediately started smiling and laughing! It felt so good!
Completely underrated. I've seen Andrew live multiple times. Not only is his music quality consistant to the souds of his albumns, but he is genuine with his performance and is humble in his ability to make millions of ears perk up.
This was the first time I heard of Synesthesia. I was listening to this song, hearing the colors, but I had no idea that that was synesthesia. I got a book about it recently that really described it. All of Andrew McMahon's music is the most colorful. Most of the ones I've heard are yellow, pink, blue, and a little bit of green.
I love this song so much!!😆😆😍😍😍
I learned recently what synesthesia entails and that seeing music isn’t totally common, so to find something like this to express myself and relate to it is so pretty!
I really enjoy this song live, it really brings out everything. even with the parachute. I saw them live when I went to this show to see Bastille and they were really amazing. Andrew came down and he was so close to me I could've touched him, but I didn't
He is original. Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, and as a solo artist, his music is perfect. And it's not for just one type of person I know people that have different musical tastes that all LOVE this. He is a beautiful musician and vocalist.
This song is so beautiful! I'm not a synesthete, but I wish I could be for a day or two
Sometimes i think about losing my synesthesia and how empty i would feel
Its amazing, a world filled with colors
having synesthesia soumds really cool but a lot of times it's distracting and seeing colors actually makes ky head hurt sometimes. its also really hard to learn foreign languages
maddie mcevoy
Ikr! In school i'm learning french and ive always had a hard time understanding that mardi is Tuesday. mardi is the same colour as Monday so it makes perfect sense that they would mean the same. but i guess there is no changing the way that different languages say things, so i'll just have to deal with it
m m mine gets worse when my head hurts, actually. Or super tired. It's like the filters that keep it in check are broken and everything makes shapes and colors until I have to sleep it off.
This song and this video bring me so much joy.
I heard him when he played with Panic! last Friday. He was so good and I loved the vibe of his music
When I heard him opening for Panic! and Weezer it was so good.
Same thing here! Loved his show opening to Panic and Weezer!
same here. he was awesome.
I was there too! I even touched him :p
Me too!!!!! We had vip seats it was amazing!!!!!
I have Synesthesia so I'm happy now that there's a song for it
I enjoy the chorus of this song
Has anyone else gone to the wilderness politics tour? It's because of that, I am absolutely attached to this song. The parachute has my heart
+Johnnie Bravo same
+Johnnie Bravo Agreed!!! I keep thinking about that concert, and back to that moment, and just how amazing and magical it was. Its something you'd see in a movie, and that is amazing.
+Johnnie Bravo I went this past Saturday! During the parachute part Andrew actually came off the stage and walked around the crowd. He came up behind me and pushed through me to kinda sing at me and then went back on stage. So yeah, I'm pretty attached to this song.
+itslaurenze in my concert he jumped into the crowd and crowd surfed it was so awesome :)
+Olesya Yatsenko Same here! I went to his concert last Sunday and it was so cool!! The parachute thing made me a little emotional haha
oh my god about time i discovered this masterpiece
I've been in love with this man for a decade. He's as great as ever.
Two things: 1.) Andrew you have made gold records, one even before this video came out! Both dark blue and cecilia in the satellite have gone gold. 2.) I have sound-taste synesthesia and just wanted to let you know that the taste I had most frequently during the chorus was lemon custard. Very pleasant!
both songs went gold after this song came out.
I mean probably after the song was written, but dark blue went gold in early 2013.
This is exactly what I would have needed when I was 10 years old, hating myself for being "different". Nowadays I love my life being colorful and seeing so many things others don't see ❤️
Less than half million views in almost 3 years??? :( whyyy.... This is a great song!
You should check out the band Metric. It's kinda similar to this with a female singer. THEY ARE SO UNDER APPRECIATED OMG
Personally i rather listen to him than half of the top rated crap you get all over youtube.
I get chills listening to this song.
So many memories and feelings go through my mind and they're exactly like the beat/sound of this song, it's just so good.
This song makes me feel something very strongly, but I don't know what to call it.
So excited for more Andrew!!
Everything he does is pure gold. I'm in love with the EP and this video.
Andy, I see colors when I hear your voice.
Love his voice!!
This man deserves so much more recognition! His voice is stunning.
Light blue, pink, yellow, green, so colorful!
I have mild synesthesia. But this song is amazing! And Andrew, you're incredibly talented
LOVE IT! loving the colours!
I love your music and consider you my friend be blessed beyond measure Andrew. I have a brother ivenever met named Andrew.
Oh my Gosh. I was in love with this song when it came out, and the video is just as incredible. Andrew is pure talent.
LOVE This song!
ahhh, I love it!! I have grapheme-color synesthesia, so although I don't hear colors when I hear this song, I can still appreciate the concept :D
So in love!
so incredibly incredible. you can really see his influence here and it's beautiful.
Absolutely loved this
this guy is great, even better live!
I'll forever love this man. Amazing.
loved every second of it
🎉10 years of this awesome video!🎉
Love ❤️ 💙💚🩷💛💜🧡🩶🩵 Synthesia!

I LOVE THIS. Everything Andrew does is awesome. The guy is just so talented...
Freakin love Andrew
My favorite song by far from Andrew McMahon
amazing live. one of the best artists out there
Beautiful!
Amazing song. I really enjoy the new vibe to this EP.
Andrew, you made me feel worth something in my darkest times. I love your voice, it's heavenly and stress free. Thank you for living your life in the most productive way possible.
I absolutely love this song! Where has this been my whole life
Brilliant! Amazing!!!!
Love this song so much! The video is amazing also! Hopefully I can see him in concert!
Amazing song. Even more so live.
I saw him in concert last night with Panic! and Weezer and he did this song and let the people in the lawn seats play with a parachute with him and it and him were both amazing!!!
I saw them a couple weeks ago at Jiffy Lube but they let the people in the pit play with the parachute instead of on the lawn (where I was)
wait where u at the holmdel nj show at pnc banks art center bc same
No, it was at the xfinity center in Mansfield, MA
I was there it was so cool!! and when he ran through the audience I wished he ran through my section he's just such an awesome dude
same and when I went home to look him up I found out that he was jack mannequin which I didn't know (I wanted so send "there there Katie" to my cousin Katie who is depressed (she was at the concert with me fangirling over this band))
Brilliant video and it fits the song so perfectly. Andrew is amazing!
By far the best song on this EP. Fantastic lyrics
BEAUTIFUL!
He puts on such a show!! Please go see him live💖
I love this song
i heard this for the first time on the radio yesterday and loved it!!!
This video is exactly what it looks like!!
this is an amazzinggg beautiful song
Beautiful song
Who knew an independent artist, good friends, and some alcohol could make an amazing video and release it on time better than a major label. Congratulations on upping the indie game Andrew!
I was at the Wilderness Politics tour, Best Concert Ever. This was the best song you say in my opinion and the parachute was so cool i wish i was under it too
Im in love with all of his music. From Something Corporate to Jack's Mannequin to now... Perfection, I swear
This song ROCKS!!! McMahon is awesome! He should make more songs.
Everytime I hear this I remember fondly the time I saw him at the pabst in mke and the parachute was in the crowd. An amazing live performance. Hes such an exceptional artist
love it
Very Impressed with this song, Just heard it. Such longing and hope and sadness @ the same time very moving. I try to do this but my stuff all ways turns out kinda happy :). Love Love it! thanks Andrew
ooh love it!
Amazing song and a perfect representation of it with the video. Hope you'll continue to amaze us with your talents as I'm sure you will.
you are amazing Andrew, I love the video just as much as I love the song. You're doing great!
I fell in love with Andrew when I first discovered SoCo in 2003. He is by far one of the most underrated musicians in the world. He's incredible. I just rediscovered this song, and it makes you feel so happy.
I really love the representation of colour in this video - the filters, the flares, the dust. So poetically visual.
More brilliance from Mr. McMahon. Carry on!
ALL MY FEELS. oh my gosh! perfect!
love it
I will always be a fan of Andrew McMahon! No matter what projects he's a part of. From SoCo, to Jack's, and now doing his own thing, THIS MAN IS UNSTOPPABLE!
another brilliant video Andrew, god i friggin love you.
Andrew you absolute legend.
Great song
This song, the music, the lyrics, the build up...So perfect. Definitely my favorite song off The Pop Underground. Andrew is so talented. Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, now solo. I can't wait to see you again
July 28th with O.A.R
this music video is everything I had hoped for & more
Always magnificent - AM.
Wow! this guy is genius. the song is fabulous!
amazing song.
awesome
such an awesome video !
I usually haven't been a huge fan of the whole "electro-pop" trend that some of my favorite artists have been moving towards but I really love all of Andrew's new music -especially great to listen to on nice headphones while walking around NYC
Listen to old Andrew
still in love with this song
