I was wondering if anyone has a Transitioning Soundtrack.

I sure do and i love it. Makes me feel good.

Okay Mira, I have to know. What is your song?

Me? I listen to so many different genres of music, I can't pick just one song. I have found that I can't listen to the same music I listened to in the beginning because it brings back some bad memories.

"Better in Time" by Leona Lewis was one that seemed to speak to me.

Well, it is one specific song because i kept on playing it on researching about me possibly being TG back then.

Today it reminds me that i found out of my trueself. :)

The song is: The Rippingtons - Bandol

I love to listen to Smooth jazz in general, it helped me alot to get through the hard times in the past. Still helps me to overcome dificult things. It relaxes me and helps my mind to calm down.

My genre is also all over the place, besides that.

I'm not typically the sort of person to listen to lyrics to find meaning. That's why I really enjoy music without lyrics. I particularly love techno/dance that has a mystical flow to it. Those tend to allow me to think the most, and my favorite pass time is just that, thinking.

In the end though, music is all personal preference. It's how you react to it.

The lady I used to live with used "Breakaway" as her transitioning song. I think that was Kelly Clarkson who sings it? It's been a long time.

Let's see, transitioning songs, transitioning songs

Aerosmith, Dude Looks Like a Lady

Shania Twain, Man I Feel Like a Woman

Wizard of Oz, Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Sorry for intruding, ladies...

I am not sure why, but I really like listening to

Teenagers by My Chemical Romance

Strange Currencies by REM

Old 55 by The Eagles

Victim of Love by The Eagles

Don't Worry Baby by Beach Boys

Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

Immortality - Bee Gees

... and many more. Really, everything by The Eagles, Beach Boys and Bee Gees is the soundtrack of my life because that's the music I grew up with (My parents were very reluctant to let us listen too much to all the "crappy modern music" so they constantly fed us old stuff and I love it). The lyrics to all this stuff seem to fit a lot of trans situations too :)

Immortality makes me cry because it reminds me in particular of having to let some friends slide out of touch because I'm trans even though it hurts so bad to say a slow, painful and involuntary goodbye.

Beach Boys mostly makes me feel really good :)

Also, my brother went to high school with a band called The Blue Van. They ended up doing pretty well for themselves and I think there's some of their stuff on the internet. I was obsessively into their music when I was younger and still love a lot of it. It also reminds me of some of my earliest serious trans feelings when I was a young teenager.

Anyways, I'm rambling. That's the stuff I love. Great topic by the way :)

Thank you Talon. I didnt think it would receive that much feed back.

Music is my very essence of everyday life. Too me its getting through everything easier, somehow.

I do have some songs that remind me of sad things in life, also.

YouTube:

Early Transition:

"I Hate Myself for Loving You" by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts (official video).

Present Transition:

"Happy" (from Ladies & Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones) by (obviously) The Rolling Stones.

Rock On :friends::thumbsup::friends: Lacey Lynne

Of Note:

Joan Jett! Yeehi! If I could have transitioned in my teens, I'd have been Joan Jett. Got her spirit. Got her physique. Got the same home state. Dang, I love her. She's a lesbian too. Works for me! Okay, I wouldn't fit in with anybody else here, but, I am what I am ... just like Joan Jett!

The Rolling Stones! My band of choice! Greatest frontman ever in Mick Jagger. Greatest rhythm section in rock history with Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards with that way-sensational drone and that pile-driving rhythm. Greatest rhythm guitarist in rock history by way of Keith Richards ... the heart and soul driving rock's mightiest engine of down and dirty rock and roll. Nobody did it better ... nobody.

Got two biographies sitting right next to me. One is that of The Mahatma Gandhi (the exemplary saint). The other is that of Keith Richards (the unrepentent sinner). Could two people be more different? I love them both equally. Why am I rife with contradictions? Heck, I'd have loved to have been both of them! Sigh. God surely loves The Mahatma. However, I believe He also loves Keith Richards. When you're that sincere about sinning and not out to hurt anybody but simply out to have a rip-roaring great time, well, what can you say? Maybe God will forgive Keef. Besides, nobody would rock out harder with God that Keef.

Keef Riffhard for vice president!!! Who better to be the president of vice?!? When my name change is finalized, I'm singing "Happy" by The Stones ... once I'm AWAY from the courthouse! Yeehi!

Keef is the stuff! His musical ability is so underrated. The Stones was Brian Jones band and Brian was gifted and overshadowed Keef until his death. Listen to Keith's lead break on, "It's All Over Now". And if you've seen Rock and Roll Circus, you can how good he truly is. He plays a great bass backup for Lennon and Clapton on "Yer Blues".

Main Offender is a killer album and didn't get the praise it deserved.

I know it is cheesy, but 'Reflection' from Disney's Mulan. Nails me to a T. And on the plus side it lets me work on my feminine singing voice with a song that is totally in my natural range. =)

Music has always been an important part of my life. So its really no surprise to me that now,at truely the most defining point in my life, it's a huge source of inspiration to me.

I love virtually all music& certainly respect all musicianship. So that should explain these choices. (big on a lot of the lyrics too).

Underoath - In regards to myself

Moving for the sake of motion

Down,set,go (for strength in yet

another divorce)

Katy Perry- Firework (listen to the lyrics,so fitting)

Part of me

Taylor Swift- Love Story (my hope for the future)

Evanescence- Bring me to life (this song is like

me singing my female self)

Little Wonders - Rob Thomas

If you want to sing out - Cat Stevens

If you want to sing out by Cat Stevens just reminds me to be who you want to be, regardless of what others say and think.

And Little Wonders by Rob Thomas, just makes me remember that I've gotten through quite a few rough spots in my life, and that I can overcome a few more to be happy.

Meeep...

There is a song from italian singer Laura Paussini which I love singing everytime I feel the bad feelings are starting to come. The song is called (Live me). There is a part of the lyrics where she says:

Credimi se puoi / believe if you can

Credimi se vuoi / believe me if you want

Credimi e vedrai non finirà mai / believe me and you'll see, his will never end

Ho desideri scritti in alto che volano / I have desires which fly, written above

Ogni pensiero è indipendente dal mio corpo / every thought of mine is independent of my body

I feel that Laura Paussini describes very well the feeling. Our mind if free, it doesn't matter the outer form.

The other song which I love is called (Sky of tibet) by spanish singer Ana Cirré. The song is about how she wants to live to the maximum, not enclosed by routine or conventionalism. "I don't want to perish before seeing the sky of tibet".

I have this one song that really speaks to me. I love the lyrics - This is a surprising one, considering I'm a metal head but

Heard it in a JB-HIfi and soundhound app told me who it was.

Lyrics are quite fitting for a MTF !!

Love

Jenny

Hi Jenny

The link had to be removed because it wasn't working and therefore couldn't be reviewed.

With YouTube it usually works best to give the name of the song and group and let people look it up.

Just a reminder-Embedding non trans videos is not allowed -nor is linking to anything containing images or language that are not allowed on this site. Don't know that this did but it's easy to forget so I thought I'd drop in a reminder. Not aimed at you or this link at all :)

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
