Do you have a song

[ruthie801]

Coming to work this morning I was listening to Shania Twain singing "I feel like a woman" I love that song I do so much relate to those feelings. Its my feminine soul's song. I was wondering does anyone here have their own special song?

I guess the one that floats in my head most days is the 70s hit, "I will survive". I forgot the name of the singer but the words give a measure of courage to press on. It might have been geared towards GGs but we also have a lot of rough patches to work through or around; things that can change our our outlook on life.

Walk on the wild side - Lou Reed/The Velvet Underground

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
She said, Hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side

Refering to transvestite actress Holly Woodlawn who stared in movies and was on Will and Grace.

And for the holidays - "Walking around in womens underwear". Lol

Hmm, well, my first REAL exposure to GLBT and seeing TG people, when I was 20, was at a gay club. I had not realised my TG side completely. Still in the almost homophobic stage.

I saw some drag queens (they were fah-bulous ), a couple CD's, probably a TS or two. Couldn't believe myself that I was checking out a CD in a miniskirt with hot legs I saw dancing with some guy.

However, when I was getting ready that night, all studly and hot looking, I was listening to this song called "Night of the unborn" by Mercyful Fate.
So every since then, that song makes me think of how it really got started.

If you look up the song, it will seem very strange. The album cover looks like the devil coming out of a fire. The lyrics are evil, but since this was the song I heard when it really started, well, this is it,

Mine would have to be: "Hit me with your best shot" by Pat Benatar.

[Nicola2876]

Silent All Those Years by Tori Amos

[Toni_Lynn]

Mine has to be Stand Up by Susan Aglukark.

Part of the lyrics are:

Stand Up for the innocence that makes you who you are
Stand Up for the dignity that got you here so far
Stand Up for the higher dream that you can realise


Susan is an Juno Award winning Inuit singer born in Churchill Manitoba. Her music has carried me through so many sad times. I am fortunate to know about her as her music is virtually unknown to people living in the states .. thank you CBC radio and TV!

If you watch one video today, I urge you to see this one!

Niel Young
Deep Purple
Santana
James Taylor
Rolling Stones
Areosmith
Peter Frampton
J. Hendrix
Crosby Stills & Nash
Marshall Tucker

Thats just a few & in no particular order..
I like lots on the modern country songs too, particularly from the female artists..
plus some from the more modern era
like Evanesence...& more..
My 16yo daughter keeps me up to date too....lol

[docrobbysherry]

I remember thinking how HOT everyone's, (including the GUY'S), legs looked in nylons and heels!

The movie? Rocky Horror Picture Show, of course! The song? "Sweet Little Transvestite from Transelvania!"

[Sweet Jane]

its obvious i guess....sweet jane by the velvet underground

i saw karren had chosen walk on the wild side...that song is full of warhols 'superstars'...holly woodlawn, jackie curtis, candy darling, (all tgirls) joe dallesandro....i have often wondered who the 'sugar plum fairy' was referring to...anyway, that song has always been a fave of mine too

[Barbara Jo]

"I got to be me"

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

I've never been to me. By Charlene.

I've been to paradise,
But I've never been to me.

"Those Shoes" - The Eagles


Got those pretty little straps around your ankle,

Got those shiny little chains around your heart.

You've got to have your independence,

But you don't know just where to start.

There is no other song I relate to more than "Second Born" by Third Eye Blind. My all time favorite song and I'm still upset it never made it onto one of their albums...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTRh9Ohykds


Lyrics

Time is wasted on me
But Mom it will be all right
You've lost your faith in me
But Mom it will be all right
And the family will hold even though we're all sad
And the family will hold even though things turned out bad

I will write a new song and I will sing it tonight
No one sings along, but mom it will be all right
And the family will hold even though we've lost the means
And the family will hold in the graceless, sad, routine

Cause I've always known that I was second born
But I hold my own like I am first born son

Temperatures drop inside but mom it will be all right
It's time to swallow your pride but mom it will be all right
and the family will hold and we'll pretend we're not hexed
and the family will hold even though we don't know what comes next

I've always known that I was Second Born
Well I hold my own like I am a first born son
We'll leave it alone, but I am second born
I know what I am and I am the first born son
First born son

I found me a girl and she's had a troubled life
I will make a home, I'll make a troubled girl my wife
and the family will hold and maybe we will have a son
and the family will hold and we'll say we've just begun
just begun

I've always known that I was a second born
But I hold my own like I am a first born son
We leave it alone but I am second born
I know what I am and I am a first born son
First born son


God I love this song. Sorry for long post =P

Anything by the Go Gos. When the other guys on the football team were psyching themselves up listening to Van Halen or ACDC I was listening to the GoGos on my headphones dreaming of being Belinda Carlisle.

Madonna Vogue always makes me strike a femme pose.

The song I relate to the most is Hardly a Hero by Levi Kries. It is a theme for anyone wrestling with coming out or the decission to transistion. I really relate to it because I hid behind the bravado of being an athlete or a soldier for most of my life.

"Just an ordinary man
Thrown into a life I didn't plan
Suddenly my world has changed
I'm unprepared to make my way
My resolve is growing weak
So unsure of who I'm supposed to be
The one who takes the noble path
Or the one who wants what he can never have

And I'm hardly the hero
This is the only thing I know to do
To make it through
But I need you to believe
That beneath this bravado
I'd still give anything to have a chance
To get you back
And I'm hardly a hero for that

Exuberant and terrified
Every time I look into your eyes
But I can't entertain the thought
Cuz we both know I'm not the man you thought I was

And I'm hardly the hero
This is the only thing I know to do
To make it through
But I need you to believe
That beneath this bravado
I'd still give anything to have a chance
To get you back
And I'm hardly a hero for that

The ones I love will always be
The ones who pay the price
And so I set aside my dreams
To do the thing that's right
And keep it all inside

And I'm hardly the hero
This is the only thing I know to do
To make it through
But I need you to believe
That beneath this bravado
I'd still give anything to have a chance
To love again
And I'm hardly the hero for that
Yeah I'm hardly a hero"

Open up and set her free

I love it in the end when
"Desmond stays home and does his pretty face
and in the evening she's a singer in the band".

Ok, if I should for some reason suddenly pass expectantly, you can play this song in my honor, this song sums up my life, and one of my personal favorites by hayley.
I think she sings it the best..and looks beautiful too..
I cry & get & chills everytime I hear it..

I Dreamed a Dream - Hayley Westenra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucX5DolkfEc


There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love
was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting.
There was a time ...then it all went wrong...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hopes were high and life worth living,
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid,
When dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame

He slept a summer by my side.
He filled my days with endless wonder,
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live the years together!
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather.

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed.

Les Miserables also sings it well too.....

[DAVIDA]

Gilligan's Island Theme song!
