I think Synesthesia is constant, and does not need memories or emotion to trigger an affect (though, that would make a nice theory). Can't remember the scientific word of it, but two entirely different contents can have a similar relation in the brain, when triggered by an event that have them together. One of my favorites is that my mom would always associate in-door house plants with baby teeth. Then maybe it’s not Synesthesia.

The listening context may be important for that one. I'm not so much of a mood listener anymore, since the only time I get a chance to actually <em>listen</em> to music is at work (or cooking breakfast on the weekends), so I just queue up a bunch of stuff regardless of how I'm feeling. It's nice to have a connection from music to people. Songs are gifts, and can intensify the experiences you have with someone.

The other is SUPER sunny, perhaps too much so for me.... I have different choices for the day/night thing, but I do what you used to do on your iPod. I have up, medium, quiet, and Downright Dead lists besides some other ethnic lists on my iPod. I think for me that's the determining factor of how much intensity I am up for at any given time. But I don't connect music with others at all. I think because in my head I'm always trying to play them, thinking of actually making the music.

I see colours when I hear music. But I'm not sure if this is more of my mind relating back to the situation when I first heard the song. For example, for the night song mentioned — Bring Me To The Disco King — I remember being in my living room very late at night on a weekend, looking up Maynard James Keenan's projects when I came across that song. I also remember walking home after work during a warm summer day when I first heard Another Sunny Day. Maybe it's a combination of both. I find that I do have a mild to moderate synesthesia actually.
