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.

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.

      So from time to time my brain gets a hold of information and puts it together with other information in weird way that get me thinking. I was reading about a nudes cruise that they are running out if Miami. It got me thinking that a transgendered person who is also a naturalist, has to be one of the most unlucky people alive. How does one manage that and does that ever come up? Not trying to make fun here, just genuinely curious. Things that make you go hmmmm....

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.

      Unfortunately Oklahoma is about as bad as Texas but definitely not as bad as Florida. Especially as a minor! 
    • Ashley0616
      I'm sorry @Ladypcnj I can only sympathize with you on that. Therapist on the other hand is crazy. I have had 16 in 10 years. It sucks having to have to go over things. I will say though after 6 therapists I didn't have to explain my history they simply read the history. 
    • Ashley0616
      I followed you and will give you my advice when I can. It has happened to me a lot too. If you want to you can always message me and I'll get back to you ASAP. I understand your concerns.

      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.
