Something explained to me...

I was 41 when I realised that people actually see things in their minds eye. It is not just a metaphor.

Blew my mind, like it is some kind of superpower, you can just imagine stuff, and you see an image of it....

My partner is such a good cook, partly because she can combine flavours in her mind, to check if they will taste good together, that is just fucken cheating.

When people "get a song stuck in their head" they can literally hear it.... How the fuck do you get anything done, you crazy bastards.

That’s how I compose music. My brain plays it to me before I can try and put it on paper. Also when I sing I can hear the instrumental on my brain without actually playing it.

Same. I can't see anything in my mind's eye but it's loud as hell up there.

gotta love when you're in a dead quiet room and suddenly it just becomes an mp3 player, i've straight up fallen asleep to music playing in my mind.
