Anberlin Drawing

Before I move on to another famous synesthete, I decided to post another drawing. This one is of what is probably my favorite song in the world. 'Paperthin Hymn' by Anberlin.

This song means so much to me lyric wise and the colors I see when I listen to it. I love the combination of the purple, blues and black and the design they make.

The heavy guitars make the solid lines and hard edges. Surprisingly there isn't any red in this song since that's usually what I see when I hear guitars. My theory is that I also hear colors based on the key the song is in and sometimes it overpowers the colors of the instruments. This would be why the guitars have more blue in them than red.

There are softer parts of the song, which is why there are some curves in the design.

The lead vocalist, Stephen Christian, has an amazing and rich purple voice. I could not do the color justice no matter how hard I tried. This guy's voice is one of my favorites to listen/see.

The black can be attributed to the percussion, most basic drums are black to me. They are are sometimes overpowered by the rest of the song, but that is not the case here.

Overall, I love this drawing and the song it comes from.
