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:

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
