Great topic. I don't imagine pictures in my head, actually. I look around. All the pictures i can possibly think of are already here. To give you an example, yesterday i was taking my girlfriend home, and we were listening to manual's "as the moon spins". It was pretty weird because the both of us thought, at the same time, how "into the environment" that track was. It was raining, and we could see the sun behind the trees (no rainbow, though). Just the sun rays between the folliage, while rain fell into the ground, constantly. Music has the amazing ability to make you more aware of certain things. Or at least, to make them more enjoyable. If i get an album playing, and that album means something, in terms of feelings, i instantly feel like listening to all of it, just waiting to see where it takes me. Thats one of the most important reasons why i can't stop listening to múm and sigur rós, lately.

Ahh, working. I can't work without music. I'm not saying i get more productive (I probably don't, because i end up humming with the music, and singing lyrics, and... uhh yeah), but it sure makes it much more enjoyable, so... headphones on. Once again, great topic. It'll be interesting to read other people's views on this.
