Killing of Georgie     Rod Stewart     Not really a favorite just profound for the times we live in.

[WolfNightV4X1]

Dude looks like a lady- Aerosmith :v

Not really for me but funny when you think of it transitionwise

Let it go- Frozen

Lola- the kinks

...probably one of the most beautiful songs about a transgender woman

"Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola...Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man"

These ones are more personal, though:

Ordinary man- Breaking Benjamin



This is gospel- Panic! At the disco


"I dont want to be here anymore" and "Black masks and gasoline" - Rise against




Break- Three days grace

[PrincessCrystal]

I'm gonna do it.  I'm gonna be terrible again.
Look out everyone, Crystal's being terrible.
It's gonna happen.  It's about to happen.
Offensiveness incoming, it's gonna be real bad.

You were warned.

Oh boy, here I go bein' terrible again!
NOFX - My Vagina

It's pretty offensive, but I got really interested when I heard this song...

[Mirya]

"Twinkle" by Girls' Generation:

"Can't hide this twinkle deep inside
Even though I may try.
You'll never hide this light of mine
I'm gonna twinkle til I die."
...
And even when the sun goes down,
I'll always shine through the night
Don't you ever close your eyes
Watch me come alive


The lyrics ring true for me, because I've always had this 'twinkle' inside of me.  And throughout my life, no matter how hard I tried to hide it, or deny it, it was always there. But now that I'm released, I'm free to be who I really am.  I'm truly alive for the first time.  And no matter how hard the world may try to snuff it out, my 'twinkle' will shine forever!

It's a Korean pop song, but this English cover is really good!!!

Another Girl, Another Planet by The Only Ones. Also covered by Blink-182, very faithful to the original.

Not really songs about transition, but Dio had a couple lyrics in one of his songs that I now see as potentially being references to transgender issues.



Then another song that I can never remember the name of includes a line saying:
"He was just eighteen and in between
a lady and a man
His daddy's girl in momma's world
that was when he ran
He never was confused, just been abused
but that's just what he was
And in the spark inside the dark
the answer came because it said"

Looking for it, the song is "Invisible"

My life before Thansgiving Dinner 2015:

[Patty_M]

This is an oldie, from 1921, but I cannot think of a more appropriate song for transition.

It is "There'll Be Some Changes Made"  The lyrics start:

"There'll be a change in the weather and a change in the scene,
From now on there'll be a change in me
My walk will be different, my talk and my name
Ain't nothing 'bout me gonna be the same..."

[laurenb]

I love this song: Who I Am by Aradhana Silvermoon. It speaks to me and my transition. The first time I heard it, I thought she must be trans, but she's not (at least I don't think so). Love her voice, it reminds me of Stevie Nicks.

Jumper by Third Eye Blind

I wish you'd step back from that ledge my friend.
We could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in

Funny story - My wife and I were going to the movies one night recently and I don't remember if it was Lou Reed's 'Take a walk on the wild side' or Aerosmith's 'Dude (Looks Like a Lady)' came on and she was happily singing along then in the middle of the song she stopped singing, looked at me and said "Oh my God.  Do you want me to change it?"

- At that point I think she understood a little more about me.

Have You Ever by The Offspring might not be specifically about this but it always resonated with me.

Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be

Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
Well I know

Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever
