Hello everyone,

Shelly in "Crossdresser talk - untitled topic" quoted a line from Cat Stevens to reinforce a point she was trying to make (and a good one too)  It when like this:

:In the words of Cat Stevens - take your time, think a lot"

That line is from his "Father and Son" Song on his "Tea for the Tillerman" album (Ihave them all by the way) The full verse goes like this and I really like it, but if you change a few words it becomes so applicable to the issues we talk about in these forums (well I think it can )  :

It's not time to make a change, just relax take it easy.
You're still young that's your fault there's so much you have to know.
Find a (girl) settle down, if you want to you can marry,
Look at me I am old but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on,
But take your time, think a lot why, think of everything you've got,
For you will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not.


Are there any other songs, verses or lines that are main stream that apply to our forums?

Steph

Songs for us,

I was listning to the radio the other day and "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" was playing. I realised it would make a great song for this site.

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

I've heard a couple of other songs I thought would be good but their names escape me at the moment.

I'm just a Girl - No Doubt

Barbie Girl - Aqua

And speaking of ch-ch-changes.  Anyone remember that rediculous Brady Bunch song.  "When it's time to change, you've got to rearrange.. somethin' somethin' somethin' somethin' Na-na-na na na na na-na na ^Na-na-na-na na"

Crap, now it's stuck in my head... again

Here's another:

Shania Twain - Man, I feel like a woman

Double crap Barbie Girl is stuck in my head, la, la, la,    I can't believe that I liked that song so much.

Steph

QuoteIf you liked that, you love this: Ugly Girl (Same melody)

Ugly Girl?  Hmm... Doesn't sound very encouraging...  Is "Pretty Woman" out of the question?

Valerie

Goodness, no, I didn't even listen to the link, I was only going by the title...  let a Mod make that choice, if they see it necessary...I can't listen to it right now so I cannot make judgement on the words... wasn't tryin' to offend , hope I didn't...

Valerie

not related but ABBA is my No1...
eg Dancing queen, Does your mother know,The name of the game.....relaxingAlso love ACDC-highway to hell,if u want blood u got it,give it up...

QuoteThis is actually just a link to the lyrics.  Nothing to listen to.

Ooops!    OK, I read the lyrics....  well it is definitely satire...personally I don't care for the words, but you also said you didn't mean for it to be the song for Susan's, just that it reminded you of another song posted earlier.... 

Quotelet a Mod make that choice

It wasn't intended for anyone to make a choice. It was only intended to get people thinking and responding to music that enspired them in a TS sort of way. I am very musicaly enspired. I can think of a song for just about any occasion. Look at my last song choice. If you listen to the song it will bring tears to your eyes if you think about it in a TS context and Susan's place in the same vane. Actually it always did just more so now. I could think of a few other songs but that one just struck me. Another is, and I'm not sure about the title but: This Girl Is A Women Now also comes to mind.

Cassie

Sorry if I confused anyone...when I said "let a Mod make that choice" I was only referring to Melissa's question where she asked if she ought to delete the link to the one song...so I replied with that.  Cass, there was a post a few days ago that was deleted becasue it had an inappropriate link, so I think that might be why the question of removing the song lyric link was brought up...we're tryin' not to break any rules or be offensive...   

Quotewe're tryin' not to break any rules or be offensive...

Honey I hav'nt seen anything offensive. I was just trying to convey the spirit in which I started this topic. A song will be different for everyone. That's all. I still laugh everytime I think about Leigh's suggestion for "There Coming to Take me Away"

Cassie

I like the last verse of this one

I love myself the way I am, there's nothing I need to change.
I'll always be the perfect me, there's nothing to rearrange.
I'm beautiful and capable, of being the best me I can.
And I love myself, just the way I am.

I love you the way you are, there's nothing you need to do.
When I feel the love inside, it's easy to love you.
Behind your fears, your rage and tears, I see your shining star.
And I love you, just the way your are.

I love the world the way it is, cause I can clearly see.
That all the things I judge are done, by people just like me.
So 'til the birth of peace on earth, that only love can bring.
I'll help it grow, by loving everything.

I love myself the way I am, and I still want to grow.
But change outside can only come, when deep inside I know.
I'm beautiful and capable, of being the best me I can.
And I love myself, just the way I am.

Shelley

Was moody the other day...recalled one great song.. LINKIN PARK-Somewhere I belong

LINKIN PARK LYRICS

"Somewhere I Belong"

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Repeat Chorus]

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

[Repeat Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

Very nice Andre.  Have to say that I had not heard of this group before.  Very interesting web site.

Ozzy Osbourne - Changes

Lyrics
--------
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

Here's a song that always brings a grin to my face if not a laugh: "Lola" by The Kinks.

Guaranteed to get me singing but unfortunately that's not a good thing.

Shelley

Steph - Since you started this post w/ a Cat Stevens song, let me add another:

From the movie, "Harold And Maude"

If you want to sing out, sing out
If you want to be free, be free
There's a million things to be
You know that there are

You can be what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo

Well, it can all relate to being TS -- except maybe the last line!

Teri Anne

Yes Alexandra, "Lola"  I cannot decide whether I love or hate that song - one of those ones that irritate & grate on me yet I find myself singing it?
Last line says it all I guess,  "I'm glad I'm a man and so's Lola"   There are two meanings there, yet nobody seemed to comment on it.   Maybe its one of those things uno. "Stripes, I see no stripes, no Zebras around here"
