Believe it or not, George isn't at home, please leave a messssssaaage at the beep. I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone. Wheeeeeeeeere could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home.

Hahaha, oh my god, this is why we're friends!



I know this song isnt "about" this, but to me it is. it's about it and my wife and I. and... I cry every single time.

"Adventure Of A Lifetime"

Turn your magic on
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
And we are legends every day
That's what she told me

Turn your magic on,
To me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds

Now I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
And I feel my heart beating
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Said I can't go on,
Not in this way
I'm a dream that died by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me

And I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Oh, I can feel my heart beating
'Cause you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Turn your magic on,
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure under this weight
We are diamonds taking shape
We are diamonds taking shape

If we've only got this life
This adventure, oh, then I
And if we've only got this life
You get me through

And if we've only got this life
In this adventure, oh, then I
Want to share it with you
With you
With you
Yeah I do
Woohoo
Woohoo
Woohoo

My Transition theme song:  He he

    While I wish I could say it was a song by Transwoman frontperson led group Against Me, I just don't know their music enough. So, gonna have to go with Shania Twain's "Man, I feel like a woman."

HUGS!

Transgender Dysphoria Blues album was the sound track to my transition. I can't choose just one song. Honestly I was skeptical that a concept album about transitioning and GD would turn out well. I thought one of my favoite bands was going in a direction I didn't like, even though it was a struggle familiar to me. I was wrong! It's one of my all time favorite albums.

It's Time by Imagine Dragons is definitely my transition theme song 



I have a neat project I am hoping to do. It starts when I start T. Pretty much me singing the song every month I'm on T until I'm where I want to be them compiling all the videos together as a sort of timeline. Ahhhh, just have to learn how to sing!

Daisy Jane, a transitional blues album? I shall look it up.

The band is called Against Me! The album is called Transgender Dysphoria Blues. The band had already released five studio albums, then the lead singer came out as transgender in Rolling Stone magazine. This was the band's first album post coming out. My favorite songs are Transgender Dysphoria Blues and ->-bleeped-<-mylife666.

I guess mine would be "Yeah Boy" by Kelesea Ballerini...especially the last 2 lines in the chorus...just sayin.

Yeah, boy
I'm digging what you're doing
Yeah, boy
I'm trying to keep it cool
But you're making it hard, I'm wishing your arms
Were wrapping me up tight
Yeah, boy
You shine and you can't even help it
Yeah, boy
Your eyes could make the moon jealous
And if you wanna know if I wanna be your girl tonight
Yeah, boy

I have two:

Guns'n'Roses [Spaghetti Incident] version of Human Being:

Well if you don't like it, go ahead,
Find yourself a man, go ahead now
Try to find a boy who's gonna be what I ain't.....
------
And if I'm acting like a king, don't you know it's 'cause
I'm a human being, and if I
Want too many things, don't you know it's 'cause
I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream, don't you know it's 'cause
I'm a human being
------
etc!

And another: Again, same album [Spaghetti Incident]:
Attitude
(I sing this really loud whenever I feel angry and frustrated etc. - always helps  !)

See the dwarves
and see the giants
Well which one will you choose to be?
and if you can't get that together
here's the answer; here's the key:

You can freeze
like a 30th century man
and be a 30th century man
Play it cool
and saran wrap
while you can
and be a 30th century man

Save my breath,
I'll take it with me
oh, for a hundred years or so
I hope you won't be
there to see me
shakin' hands with Charles De Gaulle
(that mother->-bleeped-<-er)

You can freeze
like a 30th century man
and be a 30th century man
play it cool
and saran wrap while you can
and be a 30th century man



at first glance it doesn't seem relevant, but it's a song about action vs inaction.  You can choose not to act, and time and history will likely vindicate your cowardice....but in the here and now, you must choose to be a dwarf or be a giant.  Will you choose the fight that may likely kill you, or will you preserve yourself and protect yourself by hanging back and not take a stand for anything

For me this song has always been what I felt inside. Instead of man say woman.

Oh God, I never realized until now that song was by the Goo Goo Dolls frontman, his voice sounds a bit breathier in it. I love them so much.

Something about hearing this the other day made me hear an immediate comparison to transition.
Short little part of a song from Peter Pan, less than a minute.

oooo yay another Against Me fan on here! I've seen them a bunch over the years, I actually saw them play in a basement in 2002 in Binghamton and I bought the Crime 7" that night, I've loved them ever since!! I saw them again in 04 in Philly and then I didn't see them again until after Laura transitioned, I saw them in 2014 in Albany and then a year ago in Syracuse. The last 2 shows were awesome, Laura seemed to be having so much more fun now! I love the trans blues album but I also really like the True Trans 7" with the acoustic versions of FML666 and True Trans Soul Rebel, they just sound so lonely and there were nights where I would drink and listen to that record and cry

When I came out to some friends back in February I started taking notice of the Green Day song "Still Breathing". I didn't care for the song much when it came out, in general I'm more of a fan of their 90's stuff, but this one really started to hit home, I really liked the "are you scared to death to live?" line...

I was on my way to a homeless shelter to drop off most of my male clothing when this song came on. I had a hard time not crying...Carly Simon's "Haven't Got Time for the Pain"

All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
'cause I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain

Suffering was the only thing
that made me feel I was alive
Though that's just how much it cost
to survive in this world
'til you showed me how,
how to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink
in all that white light
Pouring down from the heaven
I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room or the need for the pain
No, I haven't got time
I haven't got time
No, I haven't got time for the pain
I said no no no more pain
No no no no no more pain
I haven't got time for the pain

Flamingo by Kero Kero Bonito is my current transition theme song!!

~Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Flamingo
If you're multicolored, that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo
You're pretty either way~

amazing aerosmith

I was lying on the electrologist's table, concentrating on the music in my headphones to take my mind off the pain.  And this song came up on the CD.  Ostensibly about canoeing, it's really about transition.  I suspect the songwriter's transition isn't gender related, but close enough.  I'll take it.

The line "Casting off dull certainty" really spoke to me; it's what I am doing.  Leaving behind the dull gray certainty of my male existence and becoming open to whatever interesting stuff the rest of my life might bring.

Whitewater by Eileen McGann

Whitewater's calling, the river's sweet refrain
Sings a chorus to the forest as it's shaking off the rain
The night was passed in thunder but the dawn is breaking clear
Whitewater's calling, and I'm moving on from here

And I'm moving on my way, letting go the rope
Casting off dull certainty and reaching for that brightly shining hope

Camped here forever, at least that how it seems
Waiting for a clearer sign, I'm wrestling with my dreams
I thought that they would bind me but now I think I see
Whitewater's calling, may it teach me to be free

And I'm moving on my way, letting go the rope
Casting off dull certainty and reaching for that brightly shining hope

I know the current's swift here the water's running deep
I know there's many rocks ahead I've seen them in my sleep
I know that I could founder just around the bend
But I love the water's laughter so I'll see it to the end

And I'm moving on my way, letting go the rope
Casting off dull certainty and reaching for that brightly shining hope
