Best Struggling TG song ever

[KatieTaylorTX]

As I was listening to some music today, this song came up on my playlist. I had never thought of it this way, but the lyrics are a fantastic reflection on how I have felt about being TG. It is an epic battle being waged within me... I hope you agree it being appropriate...

The question to me is... who is singing the words? Her? Or Him?



"My Immortal"


I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face – it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice – it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

Who is the band Katie? I'd like to check it out. :)

It is Evanescence

[Leah Lynn]

I think this is quite possibly my absolute favoritest song! Can't think of her name at the moment, but she has the most hauntingly beautiful voice

There is one I like lately that although was likely not written about TG issues it seems to fit my feelings


I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
of diving in too deep
and possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination

But day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

[Beverley Sims]

There are a number of compositions over the years that express similar feelings.
It is a bit like astrology, you can make the predictions fit the time frame.

The question to me is... who is singing the words? Her? Or Him?

I say it was Him. "Your face – it haunts my once pleasant dreams"

[Alexis.j]

Wow, its been on of my favourites (my immortal), but have never thought of it that way. I was always drawn to that song and I dont know why... maby subconsciously it was telling me something.
Yes, she has a Great voice!!!

LOL.

This is not the first time a mention of Hedwig has essentially ended a thread. Why is that? Hedwig is, in my opinion, the best American musical in the last twenty years, AND it's about us. Well...some of us...at least those who don't talk about their wives in every post. (Yes, I was once married too. Never again)

Almost Lover -- A Fine Frenzy





Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swayin in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well I never wanna see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm tryin not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never never forget these images



No

Well I never wanna see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm tryin not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm tryin not to think about you
And can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache




Almost lovers always do
