What Are Your Self Confidence Songs?


Guest Lily B

Recommended Posts

Guest Selena Soh

I'd have to say that some songs that boost my confidence would be:

Heroes of Our Time (live)

Where Dragons Rule

Famous Last Words

Valley of the Damned

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

My Immortal (band version)

Bring Me to Life

And I have the feeling I'll think of about ten more as soon as I post this :P

I've seen many that I like, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Middle - Jimmy Eat World.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.

Just do your best, do everything you can.

And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.

Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

I'll Make A Man out of You - off the Mulan soundtrack. It's one of those "Yeah, I can do this" sorta songs.

And then there's Life is Beautiful by Vega 4. It just really makes me believe that the world is a beautiful place and that it'll all be ok.

Wow - a walk down memory lane - this great ole topic - all the old names - many who have moved on.

Silly me? I like the 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" old Irish song - reminds me of the Civil War - trudging on against all odds (I am from the losing side of the Civil War - so I see ragged young soldiers, suddenly beaten down to old men before their time, trying to get home through impossible conditions).

But I like the childhood lyrics with the ants - and these lyrics are not copyrighted.

The ants go marching one by one.

Hoorah! Hoorah!

The ants go marching one by one.

Hoorah! Hoorah!

The ants go marching one by one;

The little one stops to beat the drum,

And they all go marching down .

..

in the ground...

.

to get out ...

of the rain....

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

GREAT for just forcing yourself to keep on going... trudge trudge trudge

Silly me.

Lately, I've been listening to lots of New Wave and punkish music. Stuff that makes me dance like an idiot in my room and look at myself in the mirror in full drag and say "Dang I look good."

such as-

Human Sexual Response- Andy Fell

Boomtown Rats- I Don't Like Mondays

Talking Heads- This Must Be The Place

Devo- Race of Doom

Vampire Weekend- Walcott (yes I know this ain't new wave, but makes me feel like a girl =) )

Another Brick in the Wall 1,2,&3 - Pink Floyd

Anything from that movie is a great pick me up! The thought that a guy who has everything can watch his life go down the toilet like that makes all of my problems seem much more dealable.

How screwed up am I to see "The Wall" as an inspirtational movie...

I'll Make A Man out of You

I had a totaly differant song in mind when I read the title...

- off the Mulan soundtrack. It's one of those "Yeah, I can do this" sorta songs.

So not a Disney movie, well I guess Tim Curry has been a voice in several of them. Penance I suppose for his Sweet Transvestite days of Rocky Horror.

normaly many upbeat songs of my music library however recently I have found one which is really motivating me. the song is gay (in meaning of joy), catchy, was greatly written, has vocals which are little aggressive - it got everything to give you the right mood!

Highland Glory - From The Cradle To The Brave

it is difficult to find good quality of that song at youtube...

Wont back down-Tom Petty and My way-Frank Sinatra. Elvis did a good job on that song as well but I prefer Sinatra "The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!" last line of the song, always makes me smile when I am singing it and gives me goose bumps at the same time.

Wow deinately too many to choose from.

In no particular order:

I have a dream - ABBA

Get up stand up - Bob Marley & The Wailers

Better be good to me - Tina Turner

Pleasure & Pain (Every track on the album) - Dr. Hook

Huggs,

Joann

The songs; the musicians that give me strength and direction do not have lyrics of pertinence. They are just bands that I just adore...Avenged 7 Fold...Papa Roach... Bullet for my Valentine......Marilyn Manson......Evinescence......Emilie Autumn. The "magic" of music just carresses my often troubled soul. I don't want to analyse it too deeply lest the fragile bubble bursts.

"Something's Comin'" from West Side Story. & "Everybody's Talkin'", the theme from "Midnight Cowboy."

Also (and I'm not totally sure why) the song 'Watch Closely Now' which was performed by Chris Kristofferson in the flick of 'A Star is Born'

Go figure, eh?

With love,

Cissy

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.

      TBH, I have no idea where to start with makeup.

      It seems plain to me, that this thing is simply a cherry-picked excuse to persecute trans people - especially trans youth in the UK.  And it will also be used here in the states to legislate against trans care here as well.   The right wing has already made up their mind about us, and they are just looking for "evidence" to legislate against us.     Seems like if they were really for "freedom" as they claim, they would leave us alone to live in our personal "delusions".   I mean, I have no problem with cis people.  Some of my best friends are cis people.

      I am so happy with Maybelline products. For my basic needs, I love their Magic Eraser. I used the app to dial in the best shade and it works great just -- even as a very light "foundation"

      I think this can be a big part of it. There are times when I just don't have the experience or expertise to respond.   Is there a specific post we've missed @Ladypcnj?  I remember that my intro post had less than 10 responses. Some of that has to do with timing, too.    I've also found that the more I posted to various threads the more responses I've received. But, I can tell you that there are times when almost no one responds to my posts. Don't take it personally. Keep posting where you feel comfortable and people will get to know you.   It really is a friendly and accepting place.

      Oh, the guilt can be overwhelming, can't it? It's kind of like the joke about the difference between Protestants and Catholics.   Protestants have sex without guilt.   Catholics have guilt without sex.   It seems as if guilt is just a natural by product of our gender identity confusion whether we have any awareness of it or not. We feel different and so we blame ourselves for not feeling as others say we should.   What a tremendously uplifting moment it is when we can finally shed that guilt. Bask in the relief, M.A.   And having the right therapist seems so crucial to me. I had, fortunately, a very quick and strong connection and trust in my therapist. She was a life saver for me. Literally.   Again, welcome to TGP!!

      For me, with my former therapist, it was almost more like a frog in a pot slowly coming to a boil - I don't think either of us realized the scope of what we were dealing with until fairly recently. And she helped me find my new practitioner, which was incredibly helpful too <3 It feels very strange and new - I've framed this, whatever this is, as 'being bad at being female' for literal decades, since puberty really, and the idea that maybe it's not my fault, that I've never done anything 'wrong,' is a little overwhelming.

      I had fun doing this a few weeks ago.  This is how I got rid of -money:     This music player code of mine is really working out nice.  My music collection is all mp3 files.  I put them on my server and then code things like that to play them and loop them.  And then I coded an app while I was in the mental hospital in 2009 that I use to transcribe my music with.  It's a Windows app and you can browse to an mp3 or use a URL to an mp3.  Once it is in the program, it looks like a normal music software timeline and there are sliders to slow it down and speed it up by octaves, semitones and cents, so you have complete control over what key the music is in.  And you can create loops in it and I added a feature a few years ago where it remembers all the settings so when you open it again, you still have the same loop set with the pitch settings.  I've been putting my favorite recordings in it lately, setting the funkiest loop I can find and then slow it down an octave or more.  Then I play drums to it and piano stuff, or pennywhistle.  I like playing drums on the floor.  Even though I got rid of money and well, I should have done that decades ago, I had a good time the other day hitting my bin of GO stones with my drumstick.   I don't know if I'll get flagged for self promotion here or not.  You know, I'm a musician and I'm just sharing ideas for how to listen to and enjoy learning to play music.  I'm not the only one who has made tools like this.  I'm really geeking out on my roommates drumset.  I learned to play in the 90's, but I haven't had a set since then.  I've been playing 5 gallon plastic water bottles as hand drums for 30 years.  They are relatively inexpensive and common and they sound great.  Very fun to play along to your favorite music.  And if you can slow the music down, it can make it easier to play to for some songs.  As advanced as I get as musician, I still enjoy just meditating on playing some simple pattern over and over.  Lately I've been playing an Emin7 chord going to an Fmaj7 chord on the piano.  It's all white keys.  You just play an E and then skip a key etc...  Every other key for 4 notes and then just move that all up one key for the Fmaj7 chord.  I just like the droning quality of it.
