You guys - I'm here now: dreamer_easy (I'm making a mess over there. It'll take a while to straighten everything out. Bear with me. Or comment if anything bugs you. :)

Found amongst my clippings: Scrambled! A short 2004 Discover item about how the brain recognises words - by the shape created by the first and last letters. I wondered if this was linked to colour-letter synaesthesia; for me, the first letter colours the rest of the word, and even extends as far as the colours of songs. "Pump it Up" by Elvis Costello is the pink of the letter P; "Voodoo Child", which uses the same riff (I think in the same key), is the purple of the letter V.

Another clipping from the Washington Post (1 March 2004) describes research which found that "passages of music were associated not just with specific emotions but with specific words - albeit often words directly linked to those emotions."

It's all connected up there - letters to colours, music to words, colours to music.
