Trans-Related Songs/songs That You Identify With

Recently realized that certain lines of Madonna's "Live to Tell" really reminded me of myself, this bit in particular:

"If I ran away, I'd never have the strength

To go very far

How could they hear the beating of my heart

Will it grow cold

Also, Smashing Pumpkin's "Mayonaise". The entire song, honestly.

I love that song :blush: Possibly my favourite Madonna song.

Also, I tend to read similar meanings in "Frozen" sometimes. I suspect Madonna(and ex-hubby Sean Penn for that matter) are very supportive of our plight.

I like to imagine "Venus as a Boy" by Bjork in a trans-sense.

Also, George Michael has a string of deep, heartfelt songs that would connect with anyone that has been in the closet I think.

I love that song, too, and you're right about the lyrics.

There have been similar posts, including one in which I talked about the lyrics to the Beatles' "Oh Blah Di, Oh Bla Da."

Doesn't matter if if the topic has come up before; many do. But lots of folks will see the topic for the first time and

there will be different responses. It's all good. :)

Not specifically trans related although they could be read that way, but lyrics that really meant something to me many years ago

Chakra - Home

Don't run away

Your world is safe tonight

There is a reason for your troubled mind

There is a truth you need to find

Not trans related, could be read that way I guess, but I really identify with them

FM Static - "Take Me As I Am"

Ha, glad to see no one got mad at me for it.

I'll definitely be looking into that Coyote Grace when I'm on a computer with sound (hopefully later tonight)

I never even THOUGHT of Frozen though, that makes a lot of sense heh. Yeah, I'm a closet-Madonna fan. I blame my girlfriend.

"Perfectly Flawed" by Otep, not neccesarily Trans, but has a lot to do with finding yourself and surviving long enough to find it....

...."its the same doubt

the same dream

its the same sabotage

cause im the enemy"...

a little sample from 2nd v

I was surprised this one was missed so far, so here it is.

Susan Vega - 99.9f (the whole album), highly recommended. I bought it years ago in 1992 when it first came out for the title track, but wow do these lyrics in this album hit home now.

Enjoy,

Eminem- Beautiful

i happened to be listenin to my zune before i went to sleep last night and that song came on. its always been a song ive played when i was sorta down, but last night i listened to it in a new sense, and it could totally identify as a trans-related song.

okay, lately this one has been hittin a cord with me. one of those soft cords that shouldnt be hit cause guys dont cry lol.

Its meant as a romantic kinda love song, but it can definitely be interpreted as a trans related song.

oh right now im loving the heck out of mr rogers by korn. Not the lyrics themselves but the overall feeling of anger and despair. Dunno :/

This one seems appropriate:

Green Day

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Basically the entire song, though this part is very specific:

I'm walking down the line

That divides me somewhere in my mind

On the border line

Of the edge and where I walk alone

Just look at the cover:

I found another one which seems fitting:

Bon Jovi - Bells of Freedom

Basically this song is about doing what you feel is the right thing, no matter what others tell you...

"I was lost, on my knees

On the eve of defeat

As i choked back the tears

There's a silent scream no-one could hear

And this one, too (No worries, it will the last one...)

Bon Jovi - Complicated

And this song is about not judging people by the outside, alone.

Yes, JBJ is definitely the king of lyrics ^_^

"True Colors" by Phil Collins. It's a really great song sung by a great singer! (I think it was originally done by someone else, Cyndi Lauper I think).

      https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/mississippi-passes-bill-allowing?r=k5hac&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web   This part could be pretty bad-   "Lastly, it offers a “private right of action” that appears to be targeted at transgender people, allowing cisgender people to sue to prevent transgender people from using bathrooms aligned with their gender identity…"   I can see a potential for bathroom "vigilantes" to use this.  Just paying legal fees to defend yourself can ruin you, regardless of the outcome of the case.

      It's all well and good, but the facts on the street will always be different than what is written on paper. It takes a very long time for an EEOC or OSHA complaint to get attention. For most people, the length of time between filing a complaint and something actually getting done means just finding a different job.

      As a transgender male often I feel as if I'm not viewed as man enough especially around other biological males. I often also feel as if I'm not enough in general not good enough to have the things that I have because I ruin everything and I feel like a phony when trying to pass. I look in the mirror and my outside appearance doesn't match the way I want to look and appear and my mom prevents me from reaching my maximum male potential and around my mom I'm always mis-genderd and she tells me that Im not a man and never will be one which plays into me feeling not man enough because I feel like I never will me the man I know I am. I don't know what to do with these feelings and thoughts.

      I was really lucky when I gave up smoking. I just decided one morning that I just didn't want to smoke anymore. That was back in 1996. The silly thing was, I still had a couple of packets left I and used them up! After that I only 'borrowed' less than a handful in the months after that and I haven't missed them since.

      Our Maltese daughter-in-law makes a very mean Bolognese sauce, which we combine with spiral pasta. We pulled some leftovers out of the freezer for tonight's meal.   Tomorrow night will be chicken Kiev, with potato segments baked in the same dish, accompanied with boiled peas and broccolini.

      I suspect some of these people are not primarily LGBTQ+ but primarily get their kicks by publicly shocking other people.  They take advantage of the parade and think they can get away with it year after year, and sometimes do.  Not just the parade, but sometimes other events that provide cover for them to act this way. They do a great deal of damage to perceptions by the public and by the legislators against us.

      I used to smoke many years ago.  Now it makes me sick on my stomach which I consider a plus.

      I use a electric kettle and a French press.   I am not a fan of Starbucks.  I sometimes go to a local coffeeshop, but am satisfied with your basic coffee and a scone.

      Many "red" or "blue" states are not monolithic.  NC splits something like 49-51.  Actually, about 1/3 Rep, 1/3 Dem, and 1/3 nonaffiliated.     Since the legislature makes the districts, they favor the Rep to a 1 vote super majority.  Our Governor is Dem, and Dems can win statewide elections.   Of course you'd never know that with what is coming out of the statehouse lately. My point is that the "shifting" is not really shifting, it only reflects the actual population of the state.   When I was growing up I used to hear it said that "changing her mind was a woman's prerogative."  I embrace that.  I am fine with changing my mind when I want to.  Things change, sometimes we need to change as well.  I don't consider that as "unstable" - just not dead yet.
