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).

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.
    • KayC
      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
