Lately I have been lying down as I listen to music on the settee. I can completely relax that way. I'm usually doing so much else.

I see scenes depending on the music. They're sometimes fairly abstract, but they're almost always natural landscapes.

Oh yes, that reminds me that sometimes I also imagine the album cover struggling its way through my imaginary overall album chart to obtain its deserving ranking. Now I think that's somewhat trippy, so Nezzle's previous comment is more accurate than I thought...

I thought this was pretty interesting.
The shape of songs.

Landscapes, atmospheres, dancing patterns and general nebulousness. Perhaps you were right, nezzle, maybe I am still tripping!

No, it means I was drunk when I logged on last night and I couldn't comprehend what the fuck was going on in this thread for the life of me. It all makes (some sort of) sense now, though.

Depends on the music.

Sigur Ros: wide landscapes, flowers, wind, wild horses, ...
Heavy metal: power, friendship, ...
The National, Calexico: coming home, like as if they wrote the music for me.

...ah shit, what a difficult question!

I sometimes 'see' abstract imagery that represents how the song 'feels', but in all honesty that doesn't really happen all that often. My imagination isn't strong enough, I'm afraid. 😢

...Or maybe it just means I'm not on drugs. One or the other. 😉

If it brings back a certain place or time, that's what I see
Mostly I see an inner film depicting the lyrics
The musicians in the studio or on stage
Sometimes the music video, if I know it

But always the same for the same song. Always.

I tend to picture whatever the lyrics are about. If I'm working out or pumping myself up for a project of some kind, I'll picture something motivational or exciting to me.
