Having Riley sing 'No air' is the full circle Glee moment we all needed (all offence to RB singing that song in 2009).

[@meli7228]

Lmao! That episode made me mad because the reason they made a separate glee club was because they wouldn’t sing “urban” music, then Mr Shue has Rachel sing “No Air” 😑

[@leeny722]

Meli yes and no. That episode of Glee is when Sue was co-director with Mr. Schue. She decided she would take 1/2 the team to coach and he’ll take the other half.

What she was describing about being able to feel the notes in her head is just part of her spiritual gift for this, and it wasn't weird at all. I really appreciated hearing how music shows itself for her/how her body processes it

Ms RILEY is actually describing a form of synesthesia where you experience two or more senses from the same stimulus. She might experience audio-visual/audio-spatial synesthesia where sound and singing involuntary trigger a visual response and you can see the notes. A lot of famous musicians like Mary and Ye have synesthesia where they experience visual colors with sounds. I experience a similar synesthesia where I feel a tactile response to sound and I see the same thing she described

[@tashajackson7968]

Pharrell has the same experiences

[@Xxaire31]

I have a physiological response... like audio “touch”
