This song has really caught my ear lately. The electronic beat is catchy and the lyrics are such happy queer love, it's just awesome. It really resonates in a way with the struggle I am having with my wife accepting the change to our relationship since coming out. Just want her to do it like her mother told her not to do. ;) 

 

 

I really like that. I could probably dance a rumba to that with my wife.

This is one of my favourite songs and with the pandemic still on going, it holds a new place in my heart. Most of my family and friends live several hours away and I have not been able to see them in quite some time. Including my parents and sister. I haven't seen them since I came out, with the exception of my dad, who I got to spend 30 minutes with, socially distancing about a month and a bit ago.

 

My wife finds the song very sad; but I find inspiration in it. A love so strong you will cross rivers and roads to get back to them.

I thought that looked familiar - The Head and The Heart - I found them right when I found Mumford & Sons and The Limineers - love all 3 bands

I agree, 3 great bands. Love the mountain folk rock sound in general. Good guitar, twangy banjos, good mix of up and down tempos and good storytelling.

Can't agree more - I also love the Duhks and Nickel Creek

I've only heard a few Nickel Creek tunes but one of their members Chris Thile hosted "Live from Here" (the successor to Praire Home Companion) until it was recently canceled due to funding.  He is so talented.  It was a great music show.

Chris received a genius award and with his work you can see why. I got to see nickel creek 3 times they were excellent in a class all their own. Thile was a child protege on mandolin. Check out "This Side" by Nickel Creek a wonderful hybrid.

Thanks for those tracks @Shay, hadn't heard either before. They were lovely.

 

Here's another one of my faves in the genre. It's a married couple making some beautiful music. They've got some folks supporting on this live version. They do an amazing cover of Sufjan Stevens' Amsterdam, but it's a Spotify exclusive. https://open.spotify.com/track/2Cyi6ezjKmGuXFrJglqQYl?si=y2gtBalxTK6yXcSxQQ-myQ

OMG - I really love Mandolin Orange - I subscribe to American Songwriter and they have turned me on to so many artists I'd never be able to locate - Mandolin Orange is one and I love their stuff.

On the way back from grocery shopping today - I heard a song by a group from Tulsa and I met the keyboard player when I was working at Leon Russell's old studio called The Church. I have to share a story he told. He was like 16 or 18 and came to the studio and Bob Marley and the Wailers were recording. Bob invoted him to join them in the studio. Marley offered him a cigar sized gange and he figured it should be ok after all Marley and band smoked ALL DAY LONG. Well, he took a toke walked back to the Hammond B3 organ and couldn't figure out how to play (although he is an amzing B3 player).

 

So they played one of his band THE GAP BAND songs and I had to have it here.

Rainy Day - someone Cyndee reminded me of the infancy of progressive underground free form radio and I used to listen every night - hear is my favorite weird song title and song I listened to.

      A little bit about myself. I am a veteran and college student. I’m here to align myself and to continue to grow. I myself so happen to be a transgender woman. This is as far as I have made it in transitioning. Looking forward to the future!

      We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff!    I'd love to frame their rejection letter.   Carolyn Marie

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
