What's your choice of song(s) if you were to make a video of your transition?  Even though it's unlikely I'll need to transition, I still thought of a couple I'd like to use:

Semisonic - Fascinating New Thing
Badly Drawn Boy - Born Again
- Kim

Carrie Liz

"Only Yesterday" by the Carpenters
That is the one that definitely feels like my transition's "soundtrack." It best describes the emotion that I went through pre-transition, then when I finally met my female self for the first time, and beyond.

If I were to pick actual background music for making an actual transition video on Youtube, though, my song selections would probably be the following:
Pre-transition: "April Come She Will" - Simon & Garfunkel
Transition: "I've Got A Feeling" - The Beatles, covered by BECK

And for the first one that I made, which was back at the 6-month mark, this was the one that I used as the introduction. I'm tempted to use it again, in its entirety this time.
"Across the Great Divide" - Kate Wolf

Not like I'll make one, but if I did it would definitely be "The Real Me" by The Who.

There are many important songs that make me reflect on my transition and events during it.  I don't think I'd ever make a video nor do I know if these songs are all appropriate for that sort of a thing but here is a list of meaningful transition songs for me.  These are sort of a soundtrack to my life, emotions and events that I've been through at this time and they are all important to me in different ways.  I'll have to make a cd in the future, lol.

Pet Shop boys- It's a sin
Dream theater- Learning to Live
Dream Theater- Far From Heaven
TLC- Unpretty
Anneke van Giersburgen- Wonder
Thrice- Artist in the Ambulence
Pennywise- Look who you are
Bad religion- Shattered Faith
Bad Religion- Who we are
Christina Aguilera- Reflection
The Verve- The drugs don't work
Brittany Spears- Stronger (okay, huge guilty pleasure that I will never fess up to liking, but it's my "i'll make it song").

For a soundtrack to my transition would be:
If you leave me can I come to? - Mental as Anything
Death is not the end - Nick Cave version
Holy Grail - Hunters & Collectors
Devil's night out - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Do not fear those who have nothing left to lose, fear those who are prepared to lose it all

Definitely Call Me, either Blondie or In This Moment. Crap that is a song that is not really good, huh? Oh well, I need Brasso for my Halo anyway. ;D
