Wow never really thought about that but depending on my mood it could either be something like Limp Bizkit's My Way or Carrie Underwood's Jesus Take The Wheel. I know they are totally opposite from each other but like I said it depends on the mood.

Visions - Eagles

Every time I hear it, it takes me away from here and then sends me along with a smile.

Anything by Alice Cooper or AC/DC.

Specifically, Feed My Frankenstein, Hells Bells, Highway to Hell, House of Fire.

When I was running in competition I'd have Respighi's Pines of the Appian Way from his Pines of Rome playing on my Walkman. Really got me over the hump and helped my finish.

But the one that gives me the most confidence is Rick Nelson's Garden Party, "See ya' can't please everybody, so you got to please yourself." Rick had the last laugh. I hope I will as well.

Arise by Flyleaf always seems to get me in a good place.

Bulletproof by Kerli for when I need to feel a little stronger emotionally.

There are many other songs that can get me in a generally happy, excited mood such as Riot by Three Days Grace.

And then I have Kesha for when everything else fails. Her songs are always just plain fun for me. :P

'Move Along'

by the All-American Rejects (AAR)

Note: I deliberately avoided the official clip, because it's dangerous for people who are epileptic...

When all you got to keep is strong,

Move along, move along, like I know you do.

And even when your hope is gone,

Move along, move along, just to make it through!

Odd, I'm quite sure he said 'mow the lawn', when I first heard this song... :huh:

Depends on my mood, when I am feeling really down, I would play something very dark and melodic by The Cure, like "Edge of the deep, deep, green sea" or "Last day of summer". Otherwise, anything by Tori Amos, the early stuff from R.E.M., Sarah Mclaughlin, Soiuxie and The Banshees.

Way cool selections Therisa !

Sarah Mclaughlin is such a Goddess.

And of course there is "Christine" The Strawberry Girl on Kaleidoscope, just dig that record, the phase shift effect in the end, was always cool.

"Kyrie Eleison" means "Lord, have mercy"

Now, I may be Agnostic, but that phrase really boosts my confidence...

Kyrie Eleison

Down the road that I must travel

Kyrie Eleison

First of all, yay for The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees <3 I'm particularly fond of "The Same Deep Water As You", "Trust", and "All Cats are Grey" (and "Charlotte Sometimes", obviously!), and anything from Kaleidoscope for Siouxsie and co. :)

But when I used to lack confidence, I liked to listen to louder songs and jump around to them a bit... maybe something like this (I wonder why? ;)):

and also Green Day's "Platypus (I Hate You)", but I don't think the clip would be brilliantly appropriate for this forum for some reason XD

I love music, so there's alot of songs that get me fired up. I have my fight songs (called that for obvious reasons) My mellow songs, my "i wanna party" songs. lol.

One though kinda sums up my life to this point pretty well, and it's T.I.'s No Matter What.

I could quote the whole song because the lyrics are really powerful but one really notable part is

Yeah, and I hope the picture painted clear

If ya heart filled with faith then ya can't fear.

I recently realized that I subconsciously put a ton of "be okay with yourself" type songs in my iPod...

Two examples are: In the Middle by Jimmy Eat World and Pork and Beans by Weezer

I like those songs a lot, but I sooo didn't realize when I put them in. It was kind of a funny day when I realized :P

(I ask for the moderators indulgence, as the lyrics have been retrieved from battlestarwiki.org, which states they have permission to show the lyrics.

Thus, I assume their use in this post to be Fair Use.)

I have a love for some soundtracks from movies or Tv series, because I think music requires something... 'atmospheric' to be truly worth listening to.

Now, I'm a fan of the second series of Battlestar Galactica, and I've got the soundtracks for both the miniseries, as well as the four main seasons.

The first season soundtrack has a very nice song, sung in Irish Gaelic, called "Wander my friends":

Lyrics in Irish Gaelic:

Siúlaigí a chairde, siúlaidh liom

Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine ag

imeacht go deo

D'ainneoin ár dtuirse leanfam an tslí

Thar chnoic is thar ghleannta

go deireadh na scríbi

Seo libh a chairde is canaidh liom

Líonaigí'n oíche le greann is le spórt

Seo sláinte na gcarad atá imithe uainn

Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine,

iad imithe go deo

Lyrics, translated to English:

Wander my friends, wander with me

Like the mist on the green mountain, moving eternally

Despite our weariness

we'll follow the road

Over hill and and valleys

to the end of the journey

Come on my friends and sing with me

Fill the night with joy and sport

Here's a toast to the friends who have gone from us

Like the mist of the green mountain,

gone forever

This song is 2011's Dutch entry to the EuroVision Song Festival, and I think it's a really uplifting song:

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.
