    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.

      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 :)

    @Dana-ki6vs 4 роки тому +6

    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 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.

    • @leudisaraque1405

  • @annalisa712
    @annalisa712 9 років тому +13

    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.

    @karifenner4645 9 років тому +45

    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!

  • @melissawhitsel2880
    @melissawhitsel2880 11 років тому +1

    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.

  • @milesarvy
    @milesarvy 7 років тому +2

    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.

  • @ilselangnar507
    @ilselangnar507 5 років тому +5

    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!

  • @awesomegmer86
    @awesomegmer86 7 років тому

    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

  • @victoriaaustin9993
    @victoriaaustin9993 11 років тому +3

    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.

      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

    • @wehaveapiperdoone
      @wehaveapiperdoone 6 років тому +1

      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.

    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!

    • @KellieBeam

    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.

    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!

    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

    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
