I have a lot of songs that remind me of our trans struggles...
Patrick Watson - "The Great Escape"http://www.last.fm/music/Patrick+Watson/_/The+Great+Escape Bad day, looking for a way
Oh, looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Puts on a smile and breathes it in and breathes it out
He says bye-bye, bye to all of the noise
Oh he says bye-bye bye to all of the noise
Hey child, things are looking down,
That's OK you don't need to win anyways
Don't be afraid just eat up all the gray
and it will fade away
Don't let yourself fall down
Bad day, looking for the great escape
He says bad day, looking for the great escape
On a bad day, looking for the great escape
Great escape
Arcade Fire - "My Body Is A Cage"My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on the stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
Standing next to me
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
Standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a . . .
My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten, that don't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age
Still turning in the night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
Realizing I'm dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're still next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Woo!
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Radiohead - "Nude"http://www.last.fm/music/Radiohead/_/NudeDon't get any big ideas
They're not going to happen
You paint yourself white
And fill up with noise
But there'll be something missing
Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails
So don't get any big ideas
They're not going to happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking
The Smashing Pumpkins - "Galapagos"http://www.last.fm/music/The+Smashing+Pumpkins/_/GalapogosAin't it funny how we pretend we're still a child
Softly stolen under our blanket skies
And rescue me from me, and all that I believe
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should i fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?
Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
and hold me for goodbyes-and whispered lullabyes
And tell me i am still
the man I'm supposed to be
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should i fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?
Too late to turn back now, I'm running out of sound
And I am changing, changing
And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
Is here with you
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should i fall from grace here with you
Would you leave me too?
