37.6486° N, 122.4296° W

**37.6486° N, 122.4296° W,** also referred to as **Coordinates, Seabound** and **Ponderosa Seed,** is the eighteenth track on CUTIEMARKS (And the Things that Bind Us). It was released as a single on July 9th, 2021 and on all other platforms on July 30th.

## Description

"37.6486° N, 122.4296° W is about the time where I nearly committed suicide in 2011. The coordinates are the exact location where it was going to happen, which happens to be a place where I spent a lot of time making friends and forming memories.

Around this street corner, I had my first kiss. I had bubble tea for the first time. It’s where I won my first crane prize. It’s filled with restaurants where I ate with friends and cultivated relationships. It’s where the “Sing a Song About Life” sample was recorded. It’s even around where I went to Summer Camp for years and years. For a long time, I wasn’t allowed to be home by myself; it was more or less a daycare with planned activities. I was still going to this summer camp when I became a brony and released my first songs in the fandom.

It has three alternate titles:

1. Coordinates (self explanatory)
2. Seabound (regarding my identity with the ocean)
3. Ponderosa Seed (the street name is Ponderosa)

The song analyzes my relationship with my best friend — Sylver Stripe (irl, known as Izzy) — by considering the importance of this location in relevance to our friendship, as well as how falling in love with MLP:FiM would unwittingly change the course of my entire life."

## Lyrics

<poem>Just off El Camino

On the corner of Ponderosa

I had my first kiss, it felt fake

But I had to make the most of it

Sipping milk tea with my friends

Austin looked at me and said

"Ain't this shit?"

And I said sure, but it was

Pretty good

We passed by on the way

To my graduation day

You didn't have to come

But you did anyway

Oh, we wrote stories

In my parent's living room

On my grandma's old piano

And that Takamine guitar you always brought

I really wish that I had brought you

To the corner where I won

My first crane prize

And where I made most of my friends

Most of my friends

The corner I was passing

Now ten years ago, in that car

Where I had hoped

That I could kill myself

But it's alright

It's alright

It's alright

It's okay

'Cause my heart was

A Ponderosa seed

Ponderosa seed

And we were seabound

And we were seabound

8:22[p.m] June 22nd summer of 12'

We made a decision that would surely put us through hell

And it seemed so simple, yeah, it seemed like nothing at all

But embracing this fantasy was our past life's curtain call

It started with the mare in the moon, and the wedding too

It wasn't just a phase, just a doorway to another view

It was the dragon in the mirror and the dream that he had fought

That revealed a better life we could nurture, no matter what

No matter what

No matter what</poem>

## Trivia

* The lyrics "8:22[p.m] June 22nd summer of 12'" reference when Vylet first told Sylver Stripe about her newfound interest in My Little Pony. She called him to talk about it and when the call ended, it was 8:22 p.m on June 22, 2012. This interest in My Little Pony went on to shape Vylet's career and change her life.
