Your transition theme song

[DarthKitty]

Hi all

Subject came up in the chatroom regarding what songs touched us close during our transitions, and I was just wondering what songs touch everyone regarding their transitions.  My personal theme song/anthem through this has been Bad Religion's "Live Again - The Fall of Man" and seeing other's songs each says more about where our minds are/was than words can ever say.

So speak up, let me know your personal transition theme songs/anthems.

Tender Trip on Earth, by Tristania:

Up on the gallery,
God shouting down at me,
Something I cannot be...

Chorus:

Tears falling from the sky,
Words from a lullaby,
Everything beautiful dies.

For now we're hanging in,
Though we're all blessed with sin,
You make my tired heart sing.

Weirdly, oddly comforting.

Couldn't find it on youtube, but here are some other amazing tracks by them:

Selling out

[Chaunte]

Travelin' Thru - Dolly Parton
From the movie TransAmerica

Well I can't tell you where I'm going, I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit
Like a poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home
Where that is no one can tell me, am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' on

Questions I have many, answers but a few
But we're here to learn, the spirit burns, to know the greater truth
We've all been crucified and they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me

God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain
Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

Oh sometimes the road is rugged, and it's hard to travel on
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try
We can make a world of difference, if we want to we can fly

Goodbye little children, goodnight you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when
And I hope I'll see you down the road, you meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin'
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind
Oh give me some direction lord, let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home
Oh sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru

[Cortana]

My song is Avril Lavigne's "Innocence" song, it very much tells my life after transition. Oddly enogh "One of those Girls" by her also really describes me well. Lol

[Pica Pica]

Evolver by Corduroy

[Patroklos]

"Break On Through" - The Doors =]

[Berliegh]

Simply the Best .... Tina Turner

or

Another Day in Paradise .... Phil Collins

I thought 'Another Day in Paradise' was a depressing song about the homeless...

[Sarah]

Seal:
"Amazing".
From the new album System.
This song rocks.
I've been listening to it a lot lately.

Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice

Guess I still have some early pre-transition anger going on. 

Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
and i kind of like it

I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

[Purple Pimp]

At the very beginning of transition, "Reflection" from Mulan.  Probably the best body dismorphic theme song.  EVAR.

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my fam'ly's heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
