What is Your Personal Theme Song?


Carolyn Marie

So, if you could find a song or two that best described you, or your life, what would it be? I have a couple, rather obscure, but which I always thought fit me:

"Don Quixote" by Gordon Lightfoot

"A Better Place To Be" by Harry Chapin

You can find them on Youtube.

This doesn't describe me, but it is known as my theme.

Love Shack. B52s.

Or

Extraordinary by Liz Phair.

I am extraordinary

I am just your ordinary, average, everyday, sane, psycho, supergoddess

"Life is Beautiful" - Sixx AM

"Awake and Alive" - Skillet

Life is Beautiful pretty much reflects my entire life and things I've been through and done

Awake and Alive is kinda my anthem of my acceptance of who I really am even though I realize that song is actually suppose to be about religious belief, The words make sense to me about my transition.

Hmmm. I don't really have a theme song, but there are songs that I relate to. I'd have to say "Underneath" by Adam Lambert (Really good song) or "Into the Ocean" by Blue October.

And basically any song by Antony and the Johnsons. I love them, very good music. Very real and comes from the heart and soul.

I'd also choose two, "They Don't Know" by Tracey Ullman (also available on YouTube), and "Both Sides Now" by Judy Collins (don't know for sure, but pretty likely to be on YouTube).

a close second would be "summertime clothes" by Animal Collective, it also puts me in a good mood and it fits with my energy and the way I approach life... its hard to explain :)

From the day it was released until the time that I Came Out it was 'Like A Rolling Stone', by Dylan. (Actually got to perform it regularly in a local band while I was in high school!)

Now I'm not sure.

I'll have to get back to you.

Cool topic, by the way!

My life has always had a soundtrack by Warren Zevon.

As a child I was an "Exciteable Boy"

In my early teen years I would say "Poor Poor Pitiful Me"

I joined the Army and humped a hog so "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" was the song we sang.

When I lived on my own I often had to call my father and say "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money! Dad, get me out of this!"

After I got married my wife accused me of being "Mr. Bad Example" to our son.

When we ran our business we knew the "Devil was in the Details" as he said in "Real or Not"

And now that I've come out to my wife we have "Disorder in the House"

I'm afraid to travel to London for fear of meeting a Werewolf and I'm sure if I go to Veracruz it will get shelled by the US Navy for some reason...

I always thought I was a bit weird for having a theme song, seems like that isn't the case! I even attach songs to people I know, then I think of them whenever they play in my iTunes library.

I used to have "This Is Me" by Demi Lovato as a theme song, but I later changed it to "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls. Pretty much the entire song fits my life 100%, particularly the chorus where I associate the lyrics with being worried of how people will think of me when I am out to the world, and just wanting acceptance from my mum more than anything else.

Actually, sorry I made a mistake. Mine is Lissie's cover version of "Go Your Own Way", because I can relate all the lyrics to wanting acceptance from my mum and the need to break away. Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls does reflect my life well, but not as much, I think.

I just thought of a much more recent theme song, "Firework" by Katie Perry. I think that describes me since transition. :D

Hmmm, How about "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar?"

Or "Man, I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain. In the video she starts off in a tux and ends up in... well... A VERY fem outfit. The catty part of me wants to claw her eyes out for looking that good.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.
    • Ivy
      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.
    • Ivy
      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.

      I admit to wearing make-up. Actually, I'll admit to enjoying wearing make-up. For me, it's been part of learning about myself as a woman and finding a style and look that reflects my personality.    Sometimes, it will just be a bit of mascara and a touch of lipstick. But, most often I wear foundation with setting powder, gel eyeliner, mascara, a little blush on my cheek line and lipstick. I also use an eyebrow pencil to darken my brows a bit.  Infrequently, I will add some eye shadow.   Most of my make-up is from Mary Kay although my lipsticks or from various manufacturers and eyeliners are mostly Maybelline. My wife purchases most of her make-up from Mary Kay and so we order together from our local representative. Of course, I don't have much brand experience but I'm happy with the Mary Kay products and find myself transitioning almost entirely to their line of make-up.
