Done some thinking. I think the flower held in hand behind the singer’s back is a tail. Like, it exist’s in the mind of the singer, phantom limb, and the listener is called on to see it too
@@badger6882 WAIT WHATTTT THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW. how am I only now seeing this comment lol. thanks for this insight! love music and she does such a good job nestling fun packets of meaning in the lyrics :3 take care :)
I don't think so! Cute connection, but I think the "beauty of a flower held behind my back" is a direct comparison to furry'/queer/trans identity; something that is not tangible, cannot be shown. The identities of the people we love can only be experienced indirectly, through their description of them, through how they hold themselves, not seen explicitly. When you love another person, it's hard to explain everything about why; it's like articulating the beauty of a flower held behind their back.
as someone whose therian identity involves bioluminescence the metaphor of "can you see me with the lights off" is doing a lot of fun things to my brain
@@lunariumpicturesoh! i wasn't sure because i thought it was orator like "public speaker" which could mean that the person who is speaking is a public speaker (and id imagine that's right- but idk now)
i think the choruses to this are some of the most personally exciting, sexy, weirdly validating shit ive heard in long time. that idea of an intimate shared fiction, feeling more "real" than anything in its honesty... it GETS to me aa
@@U.R.coolkid Well I've also always (even before I knew it) wanted a tail it's just this intensifies it more. Like it switches from passive want to longing sometimes and this song did that for me
As someone who definitively isn’t a furry, this song is still an absolute banger and just makes me respect the furry community more. Y’all are weird as hell and I love it.
This song makes me feel... nervous. Like I'm stepping towards something I think will be good but I won't know until I'm in it. Maybe one day I'll sing along, when my eyes have adjusted to the lights being off.
This feels like one of those sketchy hypno videos you'd randomly get in your recommended. Am I being hypnotized into becoming a furry? Wtf is this. I like it.
I usually complain about how we don't really have furry songs. we have parodies. we have like dj's. but we don't really have songs about being a furry. this is one step closer
This is something I wanted for a long time. Not just a song about furries, but a song that presents itself like it was actually made by one, in an actual furry world. We need more of this type of furry art.
Yeah, I usually have a really bad reaction to that sort of high pitched beeping, and I still sort of did here, but the smoothness of the song did such an amazing job of offsetting it
i think this is actually my favorite song of yours ever. i dont say stuff like that lightly but like holy shit the sound and the aggression and the furry stuff and, like, yeah,
Getting called "good boy" accompanied with a pat on the head drastically changed the course of my life. Oh if only that person knew what they awoken in me.
i think theres a lyrical comparison here between the vast amount of texture in martin's paintings (being able to find beauty that transcends observed reality) and the feeling of being a dog (also being able to find beauty that transcends observed reality). what you see is not always what is the most true or fulfilling world, like the metaphor you used before of acknowledging the existence of both sound waves (simple meaningless physics) and music (beauty and soul put into an artwork that gives those soundwaves meaning). if this is the intended parallel i find it really cool
The line "I don't think you've spoke/to any of your characters" really connects me. This will be a long comment to explain why but I'm doing it based off your DHMIS video. My favorite story is one from a source material that is barely related. It is a multiverse where all the universes of all the stories people of made exist, and specific characters can live in that multiverse and view the universes. They discuss the Creators (us, anyone who writes for it) as literal characters, as in the gods that make these universes. One of the characters doesn't have a way to feel natural feelings and drinks the "paint" that makes up universes (or, us creator's feelings) to feel ourselves, which is a very literal depiction of Creators projecting their feelings onto the character and our stories. In that sense I feel like the characters in those stories ARE real. That the characters I made up and project onto in that story are literally real, because the *point* is that they are you. That they are the "paint" you put into them. And one of these characters I'm incredibly connected to. They have an incredibly feel story I put all my feelings into. And I've talked with them. I talk to them when I am sad. I explain I don't mean to hurt them, it is that I am hurt. Yesterday in the middle of the night while trying to sleep I was hallucinating crying. Crying is triggering for me because of one of my family members, who is incredibly nice, thoughtful, smart, caring, and loving, but they have extreme health problems and sometimes turns into "X", a person in my household that threatens and screams and guilts me that only appears after someone else cries. They cry a lot before they turn into X. It usually marks a transition, so cries are really triggering or scary to me. So it was the middle of the nice and I was panicking and imagining it and it really hurt. When I'm really hurt and scared, I put my feelings into my characters. I talk to them. But that's not an experience everyone can have. "I don't think you've spoke/to any of your characters"
@@hedgey1013 The story is the Undertale AUs (like the Sanses you may have seen lol). they're an entirely fanmade fandom, as I said, so the content there is for it is different people's comics and animations. The easiest one to look into is Underverse since it's an animated series on UA-cam, but there are many others. And since the fandom is ABOUT different interpretations and making up your own stories, all of them can be very different. For example the character I said "doesn't have a way to feel natural feelings and drinks the "paint" that makes up universes (or, us creator's feelings) to feel" is Ink, who doesn't have a soul similar to Flowey from the original game.
My favourite Patricia Taxxon songs are the ones about autistic joy (and since everything Taxxon makes is autobiographical, there's a lot of those), but this one is my favourite of all - it's an inspiration, a plea, an invitation.
i cannot stop listening to this song. i absolutely adore the juxtaposition of the verses having a more toned down instrumental and background with clean vocals but dense lyrics, and the chorus turning the music, vocals, and video up to 11 while keeping the lyrics short sweet and punchy. AND it scratches that queer autistic itch in my brain on top of all that
Lyrics: You would know me if you saw me on the road I'm imposing I'm explosive I'm precocious I'm the most I'm a roving roiling presence I'm a lesson of the coast I've sung this song before, By now you're certain how it goes, but! Can you sing along? I don't hold you to the best, but can't you See the lines and dots? Don't you feel as if you're missing something? Do you understand? You think you know the mistress Well, You see me as I am, But, I'm a skeptic of the senses, I don't think you've broke The terror found in Relishing pretention, I don't think you've spoke To any of your characters, Purveyors of your barriers, The scariest it gets is far Behind the world you know So! Can you sing along? She was looking like a summer Can't you See the lines and dots? And in turn beget the sun within her Do you understand? You think you know the mistress Well, You see me as I am, But, Can you see me with the lights off? The quale I brought to class? Articulate the beauty of a flower held behind my back? Face down, ass up Represented in the black Auditorium We're telling stories of a blasphemous auritor Is the fur still succulent and downy in the mind? Face down, tail up Feel it jostle in your hand It's the beauty of a flower held behind my back I'm that doggie in the Window of your chuch Every Sunday you could See me if your Muzzle formed the words Think absurdly in the evening Think concretely by the dawn Think along the lines You recognize, But never dared to walk Can you sing along? I don't hold you to the best, but can't you See the lines and dots? Don't you feel as if you're missing something? Do you understand? You think you know the mistress Well, You see me as I am, But, Can you sense the gold Within a friendship saved? Can you lens the lurid lines Belied inside On A Clear Day? Can you grab the squalid square Laid bare amongst a Desert Rain? Can you nab the stained stripes Entwined a meek Untitled 8? I say! Can you sing along? She was looking like a summer Can't you See the lines and dots? And in turn beget the sun within her Do you understand? You think you know the mistress Well, You see me as I am, But, Can you see me with the Can you see me with the lights off? The quale I brought to class?

Face down, ass up Represented in the black Auditorium We're telling stories of a blasphemous auritor Is the fur still succulent and downy in the mind? Face down, tail up Feel it jostle in your hand It's the beauty of a flower held behind my back
the moment i finished listening to this song for the first time my brain went "you sure you aren't a furry?" This song tickles every single one of my senses. I feel like everything about it is perfect. Thank you so much for making music :)
Really love how the repetition of the images along with the melody entice you to actually sing the words you heard previously, just so it feels complete, it's a visual demand. And that's fun
"I'm a skeptic of the senses" Really gets to me as this idea of not assuming the surface level of what you can visibly see and understand is all that's real. In this case, being skeptical of the concept of being human. And calling out someone who won't even consider the perspectives of other people. "I don't think you've broke the terror found in relishing pretention, I don't think you've spoke to any of your characters, purveyors of your barriers" This other person hasn't truly pushed their perception, they're afraid. They're afraid to question their perception, to really question seriously if someone could be an animal. And as a result, they're still restricted by invisible boundaries they just assume are a natural part of existence. And it's pretentious that they think they know everything when they haven't tasted the vivid uncomfortable terror of taking "cringe" seriously, of enjoying socially ostracized joys. They haven't broke through their own terror, questioned their character, challenged the barriers that the purveyors (society) built. "The scariest it gets is far behind the world you know" Challenging these things is scary, and it gets a lot scarier. Because the world is so much bigger than they're willing to admit. Being challenged by this song is hard for them, but it's just the beginning. The tip of the iceberg. "See the lines and dots? Don't you feel as if you're missing something? Do you understand?" I really relate to the frustrated excitement of trying to explain this to someone, this vivid sense of just wanting to shake them and say: "Can't you see? This whole world is right in front of you, and entire world of expression and identity, it's so beautiful! And the only thing stopping you from seeing is your willingness to take it seriously. Be more skeptical! Challenge those ideas you've just naturally accepted as the laws of the universe."
I play this on loop in a futile effort to consume it entirely and permanently, only to come back the next day anyway. This song is like scented fly paper for fluffy queers. This is like the auditory version of being petted. When I give my rex guinea pig scritches she makes this noise.
i never feel like i GET music, (like in the sense that it seems harder for me to relate to it than for most people) but the way you put the lyrics on the screen always makes me feel a little bit closer to it
thank you for the flashing lights warning. You seem to have found yourself yet again. May you dive deep and find all of you. Even the bits you lost intentionally. You've made amazing progress.
Something about the progression of this music video reminds me of one of my meltdowns, and even if it wasn't the intention behind it, it still makes me happy The choices in developing the music scratch my brain and the lyrics sit with me, too
OHH THE THINGS I WOULD DO FOR A SPOTIFY RELEASE this is so good your music is so freeing and liberating it makes me feel like I'm glowing from the inside
part of the fun of patricia taxxons music is looking up what the words mean edit: to clarify i mean this as like definitions of word not the actual meaning of the lyrics edit again:i dont look up the meaning because i like making my own conclusions
This song feels like you being the most...you. If that makes sense. Frantic but scattered, yet still focused to a point. Innocent, but out there and proudly more yourself. :)
i watched this while super high and this is like the best shit i've ever seen,, to me this song is an intensely verbose yet sexy eldritch abomination taking the form of an anthropomorphic dog and seducing the fuck out of me and i love it so much; on an unrelated note thank you so much for all the art you make, you've put me on to so many great things, like because of you i started listening to ween, got back into celeste, and started playing sokoban like you're great thank you so much for making me think differently about art in a way that makes me experience art in a way i like better you are so cool (sorry for the rambling my brain is not fully functioning at the moment)
It took a few listens to get the feel for it but THIS SLAPS SO HARD HOLY SHIT!!??! I love verbose and well-articulated lyrics and funny thing I just noticed is that I'm more naturally inclined to memorize them as opposed to songs with generic, colloquial English. For sure an epic autism W, too bad I'm shy to actually sing them in front of anyone unless someone else does it with me. Also love how you unabashedly normalize and ingrain furries into your work, I've known about your channel before but never looked into it until recently. Boy have I never found someone so akin to me but way better and pushing boundaries at that. I honestly wish everyone could watch your videos at least once because I've never seen anything like them. Please never stop doing what you're doing
The lyrics in the first part hit so hard the first time, especially "I've sung this song before / By now you're certain how it goes, but" and from "Can you sing along? / I don't hold you to the best, but can't you /See the lines and dots? / Don't you feel as if you're missing something / Do you understand?"
I absolutely adore this. The sound design is fantastic, I have to give special mention to the sound of the light switch flicking. It just hits so well.
i keep coming back to this song and im not even a furry but its such an excellently worded representation of self expression and i just cant stop listening to it its so good!!!
Wow, just wow. I'm personaly not a furry and still do not understand it all but damn that song is fire. I love the aesthetic with the glitchs and colors!! Please do more
Thank you for introducing me to Agnes Martin, I could not have expected that something like this would ever make complete sense, but here we are. There meaning in there I gotta think about more when I create. Thank you
your music has helped me realize how much of a furry i am, ive related so much to your music and ive just wanted to say thank you for making media so queer and furry. i can only hope my art inspires someone like you did to me, thank you patty
Huh okay yeah this song was my furry awakening lmao. Been listening to it all day B)) Time to make an amv 👁👁 (hope that’s alright,, wanted to express some emotion and show off my new fursona because now I’m a furry apparently)
If you make an amv with any dancing, I'd love to see it! I was thinking of choreographing a polka to this, but the breakdown definitely wants some other dance style.
@@DaffoDuck Not at all. A polka is a high energy originally polish dance. The basic travelling step is roughly a mix of skipping and pivotting. I was choreographing a social dance with a lead and a follow, but polka can be danced solo. Have you seen it before, or would you like some video references?
@@DaffoDuck Here's Richard Powers Choreography the Tolkyo Polka in a bunch of settings: ua-cam.com/video/uRVMop33VK0/v-deo.html It's a polka line dance.
So i found this song a day or two ago and i just cant stop listening to it. Your music just fills that void i have when it gets too big to ignore (which is on the daily). It feels so familiar and comfortable and the right. Thankyou 💖
This is just so cool. I don't listen to much hyperpop but if it's all as good as this, maybe I should give it a shot. This is just so fun and bouncy. I love the added furry stuff, it screams you, even if I don't necrssarily know you. This is just awesome.
the self confidence the chorus inspires in me is,,,,truly. unprecedented. i feel so pretty but in a trans way if that makes any sense, which is not something i can feel very easily!! so, i just love it
Think you would release an instrumental of this? It's amazing don't worry just would be absolutely awesome to play without lyrics too. Sounds like a bomb ticking down and the hyperpop backing is soooo good
This song slaps so fucking hard Patty, one of my favorite tracks in a very long time, it's intense, hot, (extremely not straight in general) and also GOD your instrumentals are the best!
really interesting, this kind of has me capitavated and i think there are deeper reasons why this appeals to me deeply but my uh... muzzle can't form the words. hm
holy shit this is really fucking good. that chorus made me epiglottal trill and shudder, and the typography is like a message from god. and then, know that i am not exaggerating by a cent when i say these lyrics are to me what you described Everything Everywhere All At Once as doing to its viewers, like i could write an actual essay on this song. this song is the perfect culmination of everything in Art, Furries, God, this song is striking a sympathetic resonance with my soul. im doing a new paragraph because i want to say what this song is about. consider this my essay for the time being. in 3 minutes this song is as elegant and self-true as the perfect mathematical gem, as the Projective Tuning Space [1] or the surreal numbers [2], and in this case the gem is that you should stop putting so much stock in the material and become your fursona immediately, flesh and blood be damned. like this song sets out the reason why im a furry, and how being a furry justifies the reason, and all of that shit. i cant temper everything of it into words without gibbering like a mad oracle, but this song and i know eachother so well that i dont need words. if this is what the new album's going to be like im going to ascend. [1] en.xen.wiki/w/Projective_tuning_space [2] ua-cam.com/video/ZYj4NkeGPdM/v-deo.html
symbolic, sensory, and autistic. this song is simply pure unhinged furryness
Done some thinking. I think the flower held in hand behind the singer’s back is a tail. Like, it exist’s in the mind of the singer, phantom limb, and the listener is called on to see it too
i thought that was the point
like it was made to picked up on the first time
especially since its the only non-furry thing in the track aside "ass"
@@dukdukgeese5229 No, it is the point, I just didn't realise upon first listen and liked the line enough to comment👍

perfect description of the way her music feels on my ears
in attempting to translate this i realized as early as 12 seconds in there's just a straight-up made-up idiom ("lesson of the coast"), very powerful

i feel like everyone wants a tail even if they don't admit it lol, it'd just be cool

,,can u sing along" followed by the most unsingable part is kinda something
fr i keep trying to sing along and simple cannot
Lyrics:
You would know me if you saw me on the road
I'm imposing
I'm explosive
I'm precocious
I'm the most
I'm a roving roiling presence
I'm a lesson of the coast
I've sung this song before,
By now you're certain how it goes, but!
Can you sing along?
I don't hold you to the best, but can't you
See the lines and dots?
Don't you
feel as if you're missing something?
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress
Well,
You see me as I am,
But,
I'm a skeptic of the senses,
I don't think you've broke
The terror found in
Relishing pretention,
I don't think you've spoke
To any of your characters,
Purveyors of your barriers,
The scariest it gets is far
Behind the world you know
So!
Can you sing along?
She was looking like a summer
Can't you
See the lines and dots?
And in turn beget the sun within her
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress
Well,
You see me as I am,
But,
Can you see me with the lights off?
The quale I brought to class?
Articulate the beauty of a flower held behind my back?
Face down, ass up
Represented in the black
Auditorium
We're telling stories of a blasphemous auritor
Is the fur still succulent and downy in the mind?
Face down, tail up
Feel it jostle in your hand
It's the beauty of a flower held behind my back
I'm that doggie in the
Window of your chuch
Every Sunday you could
See me if your
Muzzle formed the words
Think absurdly in the evening
Think concretely by the dawn
Think along the lines
You recognize,
But never dared to walk
Can you sing along?
I don't hold you to the best, but can't you
See the lines and dots?
Don't you
feel as if you're missing something?
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress
Well,
You see me as I am,
But,
Can you sense the gold
Within a friendship saved?
Can you lens the lurid lines
Belied inside On A Clear Day?
Can you grab the squalid square
Laid bare amongst a Desert Rain?
Can you nab the stained stripes
Entwined a meek Untitled 8?
I say!
Can you sing along?
She was looking like a summer
Can't you
See the lines and dots?
And in turn beget the sun within her
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress
Well,
You see me as I am,
But,
Can you see me with the
Can you see me with the lights off?
The quale I brought to class?
Articulate the beauty of a flower held behind my back?
Face down, ass up
Represented in the black
Auditorium
We're telling stories of a blasphemous auritor
Is the fur still succulent and downy in the mind?
Face down, tail up
Feel it jostle in your hand
It's the beauty of a flower held behind my back
10 hours of…
“CAN YOU SING ALONG she was looking like a summer”
Anyone HELP that part is looped in my head…
insane sound design here, might actually be your best. love the lyrics too
The texture is crunchy and delectable. Like a soft cheese on a nice quality cracker.
Anyone else getting like mid to late 2000s internet music vibes from this? I absolutely love it.
thats just most hyperpop
the moment i finished listening to this song for the first time my brain went "you sure you aren't a furry?"
This song tickles every single one of my senses. I feel like everything about it is perfect. Thank you so much for making music :)
Really love how the repetition of the images along with the melody entice you to actually sing the words you heard previously, just so it feels complete, it's a visual demand. And that's fun
"I'm a skeptic of the senses"
Really gets to me as this idea of not assuming the surface level of what you can visibly see and understand is all that's real.
In this case, being skeptical of the concept of being human.
And calling out someone who won't even consider the perspectives of other people.
"I don't think you've broke the terror found in relishing pretention,
I don't think you've spoke to any of your characters, purveyors of your barriers"
This other person hasn't truly pushed their perception, they're afraid.
They're afraid to question their perception, to really question seriously if someone could be an animal.
And as a result, they're still restricted by invisible boundaries they just assume are a natural part of existence.
And it's pretentious that they think they know everything when they haven't tasted the vivid uncomfortable terror of taking "cringe" seriously, of enjoying socially ostracized joys.
They haven't broke through their own terror, questioned their character, challenged the barriers that the purveyors (society) built.
"The scariest it gets is far behind the world you know"
Challenging these things is scary, and it gets a lot scarier. Because the world is so much bigger than they're willing to admit.
Being challenged by this song is hard for them, but it's just the beginning. The tip of the iceberg.
"See the lines and dots? Don't you feel as if you're missing something? Do you understand?"
I really relate to the frustrated excitement of trying to explain this to someone, this vivid sense of just wanting to shake them and say:
"Can't you see? This whole world is right in front of you, and entire world of expression and identity, it's so beautiful!
And the only thing stopping you from seeing is your willingness to take it seriously.
Be more skeptical! Challenge those ideas you've just naturally accepted as the laws of the universe."
I play this on loop in a futile effort to consume it entirely and permanently, only to come back the next day anyway. This song is like scented fly paper for fluffy queers. This is like the auditory version of being petted. When I give my rex guinea pig scritches she makes this noise.
this is the first time i actually listen to one of patricia's songs
wow
this song HAS SUCH A GRIP ON ME ITS HOLDING ME BY THE SILLY STRINGS I LOVE EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THIS
i never feel like i GET music, (like in the sense that it seems harder for me to relate to it than for most people) but the way you put the lyrics on the screen always makes me feel a little bit closer to it
thank you for the flashing lights warning. You seem to have found yourself yet again.
May you dive deep and find all of you.
Even the bits you lost intentionally.
You've made amazing progress.
Something about the progression of this music video reminds me of one of my meltdowns, and even if it wasn't the intention behind it, it still makes me happy
The choices in developing the music scratch my brain and the lyrics sit with me, too
Something about the glitched vocals hits me right in the ear g-spot oh jeez oh god oh dear lord I love everything about this
i really like ur lyrical works, great to see more of the furry in it
OHH THE THINGS I WOULD DO FOR A SPOTIFY RELEASE this is so good your music is so freeing and liberating it makes me feel like I'm glowing from the inside
this may be one of the more important songs ive heard this year, thank you.
part of the fun of patricia taxxons music is looking up what the words mean
edit: to clarify i mean this as like definitions of word not the actual meaning of the lyrics
edit again:i dont look up the meaning because i like making my own conclusions
Agnes Martin furry hyperpop is a real thing maybe the internet isn't so bad
This song feels like you being the most...you. If that makes sense. Frantic but scattered, yet still focused to a point. Innocent, but out there and proudly more yourself. :)
i watched this while super high and this is like the best shit i've ever seen,, to me this song is an intensely verbose yet sexy eldritch abomination taking the form of an anthropomorphic dog and seducing the fuck out of me and i love it so much; on an unrelated note thank you so much for all the art you make, you've put me on to so many great things, like because of you i started listening to ween, got back into celeste, and started playing sokoban like you're great thank you so much for making me think differently about art in a way that makes me experience art in a way i like better you are so cool (sorry for the rambling my brain is not fully functioning at the moment)
this is great!!!!
This song describes being a therian.
watching this felt like i was being hypnotized, very awesome stuff
Well this is one way to discover I'm trans
this song is crunchy
this song fucks like hell and I love it so much
AHGHHHH THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL WRRR IM LOSING MY MIIIND ‼️‼️‼️🐾🐾 the contrast is soooo omg i m cant articulate im just 💜😝
It took a few listens to get the feel for it but THIS SLAPS SO HARD HOLY SHIT!!??!
I love verbose and well-articulated lyrics and funny thing I just noticed is that I'm more naturally inclined to memorize them as opposed to songs with generic, colloquial English. For sure an epic autism W, too bad I'm shy to actually sing them in front of anyone unless someone else does it with me.
Also love how you unabashedly normalize and ingrain furries into your work, I've known about your channel before but never looked into it until recently. Boy have I never found someone so akin to me but way better and pushing boundaries at that. I honestly wish everyone could watch your videos at least once because I've never seen anything like them. Please never stop doing what you're doing
The lyrics in the first part hit so hard the first time, especially "I've sung this song before / By now you're certain how it goes, but" and from "Can you sing along? / I don't hold you to the best, but can't you /See the lines and dots? / Don't you feel as if you're missing something / Do you understand?"
I absolutely adore this. The sound design is fantastic, I have to give special mention to the sound of the light switch flicking. It just hits so well.
I've listened to this at least 20 times this morning, the vibes are immaculate ♡
i keep coming back to this song and im not even a furry but its such an excellently worded representation of self expression and i just cant stop listening to it its so good!!!
Wow, just wow. I'm personaly not a furry and still do not understand it all but damn that song is fire. I love the aesthetic with the glitchs and colors!!
Please do more
I actively can't stop listening to this and I don't know how to feel about that
Definitely one that sticks in the mind, good work
this is my absolute favorite song right now that i keep putting on repeat for both therian reasons and general brain tingling from the sounds
I am so gay for this song
I feel like my brain just got invaded.
Subscribed for the video essays stayed for the music jeez this is good
Thank you for introducing me to Agnes Martin, I could not have expected that something like this would ever make complete sense, but here we are. There meaning in there I gotta think about more when I create. Thank you
your music has helped me realize how much of a furry i am, ive related so much to your music and ive just wanted to say thank you for making media so queer and furry. i can only hope my art inspires someone like you did to me, thank you patty
This song feels like almost all contexts in which a creature would be wagging its tail.
I need to speak to my characters. I hope that they are proud of me.
Man i wish this was on Spotify. Its an absolute bop
Huh okay yeah this song was my furry awakening lmao. Been listening to it all day B))
Time to make an amv 👁👁 (hope that’s alright,, wanted to express some emotion and show off my new fursona because now I’m a furry apparently)
If you make an amv with any dancing, I'd love to see it!
I was thinking of choreographing a polka to this, but the breakdown definitely wants some other dance style.
@@alexbistagne1713 oh awesome!! I am going to add a lot of dancing in it :D a polka sounds really cool! Do you mind if I use it for some bits?
@@DaffoDuck Not at all. A polka is a high energy originally polish dance. The basic travelling step is roughly a mix of skipping and pivotting. I was choreographing a social dance with a lead and a follow, but polka can be danced solo. Have you seen it before, or would you like some video references?
@@alexbistagne1713 thank you so much! I'd love some video references :D and I didn't know you could dance the polka solo, thats really cool!
@@DaffoDuck Here's Richard Powers Choreography the Tolkyo Polka in a bunch of settings:
ua-cam.com/video/uRVMop33VK0/v-deo.html
It's a polka line dance.
the breakdown is SOOOOOO good i love this
ITS SO FUCJIHVG GOOD
You have helped me let my musical freak flag fly. I am going to BLAST this banger tomorrow!
Thanks,
-A new fan!
So i found this song a day or two ago and i just cant stop listening to it. Your music just fills that void i have when it gets too big to ignore (which is on the daily). It feels so familiar and comfortable and the right. Thankyou 💖
This is my first time listening to any of your music, and holy shit this was amazing.
From a Trans to a Furry
Wtf???
@@GraysAreGay watch her Art, Furries, God video, it'll make sense when you get to the end of it hopefully
@@lilithmotherofmonsters6055 "a trans" tho
@@GraysAreGay I'm Transfemme
this is honestly such a fuckin banger song ‼️
you should put this on Bandcamp, id really love to buy and listen to it constantly
the line articulate the beauty of a flower held behind my back is going to kill me and it doesnt stop and my joyful murder continues
PRIDE MONTH VORE YEAR
PATTY ART POP ERA IS BACK
Id say this feels like I'm under furry mind control but that's already happening
This is just so cool. I don't listen to much hyperpop but if it's all as good as this, maybe I should give it a shot. This is just so fun and bouncy. I love the added furry stuff, it screams you, even if I don't necrssarily know you. This is just awesome.
looped, million times over, feeling the most and i can just
just jump and roll over in joy again again
The energy of this is absolutely ecstatic. I love it.
the self confidence the chorus inspires in me is,,,,truly. unprecedented. i feel so pretty but in a trans way if that makes any sense, which is not something i can feel very easily!! so, i just love it
why does it feel like your music interfaces with my brain weird part it's also good
what a cool song im so inspired
i cant stop looping
What are the chances this song will be on your Bandcamp?
Think you would release an instrumental of this? It's amazing don't worry just would be absolutely awesome to play without lyrics too. Sounds like a bomb ticking down and the hyperpop backing is soooo good
When I heard this song for the first time I broke into tears. I have never felt so seen by a piece of music. Thanks so much for making it.
Commenting because there shouldn't be 10 days between comments for this masterpiece
This song slaps so fucking hard Patty, one of my favorite tracks in a very long time, it's intense, hot, (extremely not straight in general) and also GOD your instrumentals are the best!
really interesting, this kind of has me capitavated and i think there are deeper reasons why this appeals to me deeply but my uh... muzzle can't form the words. hm
This song is truly something. It enthralled me, visuals and audio aligned. I like it a lot :)
I'm a furry. I can count on one hand the number of lines in this song that make any sense to me whatsoever.
Someone help?
my brother saw this video playing on my phone from across the table at a bob evans and asked me “are you watching evangelion?”
First listen left me with such a strong impression that I'm reluctant to listen a second time... Really cool.
holy shit this is really fucking good. that chorus made me epiglottal trill and shudder, and the typography is like a message from god. and then, know that i am not exaggerating by a cent when i say these lyrics are to me what you described Everything Everywhere All At Once as doing to its viewers, like i could write an actual essay on this song. this song is the perfect culmination of everything in Art, Furries, God, this song is striking a sympathetic resonance with my soul.
im doing a new paragraph because i want to say what this song is about. consider this my essay for the time being. in 3 minutes this song is as elegant and self-true as the perfect mathematical gem, as the Projective Tuning Space [1] or the surreal numbers [2], and in this case the gem is that you should stop putting so much stock in the material and become your fursona immediately, flesh and blood be damned. like this song sets out the reason why im a furry, and how being a furry justifies the reason, and all of that shit. i cant temper everything of it into words without gibbering like a mad oracle, but this song and i know eachother so well that i dont need words. if this is what the new album's going to be like im going to ascend.

this song took me by the nape and showed me transcendental truth
ive been listening to this on loop for an hour
