Would North be true?

This llama is regretting whatever she ate that gave her a tummyache. She is sipping herbal tea and eating tums and pepcid and hoping it will give up and go home.

(Switching to first person, because its too weird to refer to yourself in the third person all the time, even if you are a llama.)

I have a created a new knitting project, about 2/3 of a hat, which I valiantly crafted over the 4 hrs of Oscars from odds and ends in my knitting bag. I don't actually remember much of what went with the TV, but I have color and texture of my work running through my head. I'm not sure if it's synthesia if a color reminds you of a song, or song reminds you a color. The contrast of magenta, butter yellow and sunflower orange with spruce green reminds me of Sting's "Why Should I Cry for You?" All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?

Or maybe it just reminds me of The Living Sea, which used the song as a theme.

Additional song synthesia: Grocery store muzak this evening was playing Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Good Intentions" which my ear has always perceived as a delicate light yellow green. Maybe Daniel Tammet could explain it.
