Patricia Taxxon - Cilantro [Audio]

[@Patricia_Taxxon]

This is a song from a future unfinished album, I don't normally upload singles but me and Miles came up with an idea for an animation to go along with it that was too delightfully simple to keep from sharing so here it is. Cilantro.

[@dumbnonblonde4840]

Patricia Taxxon Are you on Spotify?

[@bhglghb]

​@@ricardo5651 You don't have to listen to the music but its always been a majority of the content on this channel.The first political video on the channel (at least that is still up) didn't even show up until there were already 9 full albums and 2 EPs. Also, even if Patricia did start with political content and moved to music, she still shouldn't give a shit about what you think and your subscription doesn't mean your opinion of what she should create matters. You aren't very much fun at all.

@@ricardo5651 You didn't know that most of Patricia's content is music, so evidently I know more? Coming into someone's comments and telling them that they suck and should stop making what they like to make isn't very fun and neither is getting very mad about being called on it.

[@nonagonguy6121]

⁠@@angterrastriker The line “Special! Call me crazy call me slow” makes sense as being about neurodivergence, and Patricia Taxxon is autistic, so I’d say it’s an apt interpretation.

[@thundercatq259]

@@nonagonguy6121 "Call your doctor, call your priest Got my own malignant scripture, and it works phenomenally" also works as being about neurodivergence, if you think about it. Back in the medieval days, they would call the local priests to check their neurodivergent children for fear of possession, hence the first line. The second line could be seen as being about how we have our own way of doing certain tasks, which neurotypical people hate for being "the wrong way to do it", even if it does work phenomenally.

I love literally every single choice in this song. It makes me so happy. The beautiful words like pulchritudinous, the vocals that overlap, the noises! Section (especially fond of the barking and gunshots), the cute animation... Perfect, all of it. I had it on repeat for days.

[@GamerBurgerz]

I dunno why but I find the vocals at 1:13 strangely enchanting. It's such a non-sequitur that I can't stop thinking about it. Also it's really well-sung, which probably contributes.

[@blarg2429]

Not to dive into the chaos of life but it's a bit worrisome that if I hadn't have stayed up all night in a depressed haze I may not have ever followed the right rabbit hole to find this which would've been a real shame because I love it. There's a more optimistic outlook here that I'm not able to fully see, let alone articulate, but I know its there and that's comforting in its own way.

[@quantumblauthor7300]

Ur livin and positive experiences needn't be shackled to their causes?

[@Ketirz]

Been jamming to this all day now and I'm still trying to pinpoint what I like about it so dang much. Something about the mix of chiptune and glitch elements reminds me of Splatoon's music, but I can't say why I like that stuff so dang much either so that doesn't help me narrow it down much lol. Call me a pleb but nothing gets me more interested in an album than just like one single I end up sinking into. I keep meaning to get into your stuff more and this may well be the push I needed, if I could just lay off the replay button for like one damn minute.

[@Archflip]

You know what's dumb? I think for me, a big draw of this song over most other chiptune is... the vocabulary. I don't know why, but it makes it extra charming. Like it's being sung by nerds cramming for the SAT.

Yall will really hear words that don't immediately click and say "guess these are just noises" and not dig further huh

[@ReforeSetka]

@@quantumblauthor7300 for clarification, my original reading of the song was of these two characters meeting. The end of the first verse into the chorus made me think this "The nuttiness with the tang, a little bit a grace Gold grenade in this place Historically glistening carapace Bodacious babe, get a look at her face! Special! Call me crazy call me slow..." Reads kinda like a call and response due to the pitch difference. And the little: "Who made the moon that pulchritudinous silver? She must have bought that shade from a market in Peru Can’t help but look upon her multitudinous trinkets I always wish that I could have that attitude" reads like sapphic yearning to me. Patricia later stated on Twitter I think that the cilantro is autism. Which is how I definitely read it now. I love Patricia's music and finding meaning in her lyrics and sounds :)

[@g.d.8065]

You said somewhere that it's the same volume as the rest of the song at 00:37, it's just clipped, but clipped sounds are actually somewhat louder than unclipped ones. The fundamental of a square wave is louder than a sine wave of the same amplitude because the extra harmonics fold the fundamental down (it's louder by 4/pi or about ~1.27 times). The harmonics also add energy to the sound, which can increase perceived loudness. Doesn't seem that much louder to warrant a warning to me, though.
