Most of us have a song or two that just hits home with the femme side of us. Do you have one that just screams “that’s me!!!”.

Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark
- June 5, 2021 at 2:05 pm #500796
Thanks Debbie, I had never heard of Joni Mitchell, I listen to the song you mentioned and I can see where you, or anyone, would love to be courted and find that spark when femme.

Para mí varias canciones de Roxette como soy una mujer, una reina va detrás de un rey y alguna más
For me several songs by Roxette as I am a woman, a queen goes after a king and some more

Not sure what language that is but the translation was half block so I couldn’t read it. But I did get “I am Woman”, that is a perfect one for all of us when we want to be heard!!!!

¡Hola Noelia! Acabo de notar que Roxette cantó la canción “It Must Have Been Love” de la película “Pretty Woman”. Una de mis canciones favoritas de esa película. ¡Y además, una de mis películas favoritas!
I hope that Google translated this properly — it looked right to me!

Music has always been my anchor in this world…there is not one genres of music do not like, however, there is one style that captured my heart ❤️ and that was the love ballads of the 70-80’s (I think this is what kept my femme side alive throughout all the chaos of growing up) but I did narrow to The promise by the romans and Lady in Red===Wonderful Tonite Kenny Rogers
I traded my tv for the music world again, I can’t remember when I watched anything on that box

What did you do again, lol. The song does describe how some of us feel once we get dressed. We put it off and suddenly, wham we are femme. It’s a wonderful feeling.

Yes… though most of the ladies out there may not follow this…… My song is Midnight Train To Georgia – by the phenomenal Gladys Knight (and the Pips). The girl’s obvious pain and longing made me realise that my own feelings weren’t just “boy feelings” – they were universal to all humans.
Incidentally; back in 2017, I was in Gyumri in the north of Armenia and was waiting to get to Tbilisi; the transport was supposed to turn up at 23:50, but it was ten minutes late, so… I literally was on the MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA!!!

- June 8, 2021 at 1:16 pm #502011
When I was little I always wanted to be like lola and that thought has stayed with me. The song lola made me very much aware that it’s ok to dress as a woman, been doing it since 1974 so it’s certainly something I enjoy. My passion is buying new dresses and looking more beautiful or as beautiful I can be for someone my age x

Hey, Carolyn, here’s mine: The song “Travelin’ Thru” by Dolly Parton, from the movie “Transamerica”. I love the song itself, but the lyrics seem to speak volumes to confused CDs/TGs everywhere, on their journey toward seeking understanding about “where they’re going” and “where they’ve been”.
(At least, that’s what it means to me.)
- June 7, 2021 at 1:42 am #501380
I think you are right on with your interpretation of the meaning of the song. I bet it is helping you with your journey to.
- June 6, 2021 at 9:17 pm #501341
I pretty much see music as the soundtrack to my life, so have songs that speak to all sorts of moods and situations. Also I have very eclectic tastes, so few would actually recognize my influences, but I do love talking music so couldn’t resist. A few songs that have profound meaning for me would be Lotus by Liv Kirstien, Stand Your Ground by Within Temptation and I Walk Alone by Tarja. All hit at the struggle of finding yourself and/or believing in who you are.

“I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan is the current top of my list.
I have it on my car playlist, and sing along every time it comes around. When I walked past a bar on Saturday evening, it was blaring out of the open windows, and I couldn’t stop myself moving a little to the beat, smiling widely and singing along.
Suddenly I was grabbed by a large group of women and encouraged to dance with them right there on the pavement outside the bar, all of us singing at the tops of our voices – it was a magical moment, and a singularly appropriate song!

I have always liked “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac. The title says it.
I also have a soft spot for Bette Midler’s version of “One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show.” I performed it a few years ago at a St. Louis club amateur night.

I was wondering when someone would mention “Lola” by The Kinks. I couldn’t believe a song about a transvestite made it on the radio in the 60’s with the line “I’m not the world’s most passionate man, but I know what I am in the bed of a man, so does Lola, lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola…”
- June 14, 2022 at 3:07 am #652778

1/. In past years… All the Linda Rondsadt/Nelson Riddle old “torch songs” she and he did so well> I had them all on casette and would play them on my am/radio cassette player in hotel rooms in many places around the world. “mood music” as I put on my make up and got dressed for a Caty session.
2/ These days a circa 60-70 song playlist on my “old faithful” Ipod, (with the little wheel) featuring a combination of James Galway on flute and a little known but gifted Canadian singer/songwriter/ musician named Richard Samuels . Richard on paino and “jimmy tootling his flute” is my latter day “music to be come Caty by”.
It also doubles as my resident “send me off to sleep nightime music”
Happy dressing
Caty.

I had to wear a girdle all day at school, so I guess a song that represents my sheer relief at being able to take it off at the end of the day and let it all hang out would be by Cat Stevens – I Can’t Keep It In (I can’t keep it in, I gotta let it out…).

First off, I’d like to give compliments for this topic. This is a great topic. The question was a hard one to answer for me though. I have TONS of great songs and reasons for them all. But if I had to choose just 1 for current times it’d be…
SONG: “ADDICT” written by Silva Hound and preformed by Michael Kovach & Kelly “Chi-Chi” Boyer (written for Hazbin Hotel)
REASON: Because after all these years I have finally felt ready to let myself go and pretty much say F the haters and just finally be myself… do what I want, say what I want, dress how I want, become who I feel I was always meant to be… whatever it takes to finally be me for once. Cause I’m sick and tired of having to hide who and what I truly am within
- February 25, 2022 at 10:17 pm #624964
A song for me and my crossdressing life would be Climb every mountain from Sound of music. This symbolised how we should stick to our dreams. Still true today.

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for a great topic. For me, it’s “Groove Is In The Heart” by Deee-Lite. The meaning of the lyrics are interpreted many different ways, but the funky club vibe is undeniable. I wear my tight top, short skirt, and 5 inch heels… oh my, just can’t stop dancing.

Ob-la-di Ob-la-da by the Beatles. McCartney made a mistake in the last verse, switching the places of Desmond and Molly Jones. So it’s “Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face”. The mistake amused them and they left it in. It’s such a happy song and it describes my life, so I love it.

Mine is I Am Woman by Helen Reddy.When I first heard this song back in 1973 when I was thirteen and had not long started crossdressing.I got the song entirely wrong.I didn’t realise that it was a Women’s Liberation song.I just thought it was a celebration of being a woman.I am sure I sang it one day when I was wearing a pair of tights and my mum’s skirt.It resonated with me because deep down inside I wanted to be a woman when I growup.I obviously had’t heard the hook line,” I am strong,I am invicible”.That wouldn’t have been me at all.I wanted to be soft and girly.

Music has always been an important part of my life, so yes, I have many songs that scream out “That’s me!!!”
Here’s just a partial list of some of my favorites:
Ann-Margret: “How Lovely to Be a Woman” (from “Bye Bye, Birdie”
Doris Day: “I Enjoy Being a Girl” (from “Flower Drum Song”)
Nancy Kwan: “I Enjoy Being a Girl” (the original recording from “Flower Drum Song”)
Emily Reid: “Good Time Being a Woman”
Peggy Lee: “I’m a Woman”
Helen Reddy: “I Am Woman”
Shania Twain: “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”
The Three Degrees: “I Like Being a Woman”
And on and on and on…
Like I said, music is and always has been very important to me, so finding tunes that reflected who I am was also very important!
Hugs,

This is a hard one. But I guess if I had to think of one, it might be P!NK’s “Don’t Let Me Get Me”. It basically feels like it’s about my life (minus the “teachers dating me” part which to this very day I always thought was the weirdest part of the entire song XD). It feels like it basically discribes my life in general… being picked on and bullied pre adulthood, being kinda a “Debbie Downer” (as people nowadays might call it) for most of my life (which I think is more related to my depression which I’m still seeking help for currently), doing evil/dark things to myself I probably shouldn’t mention here til adulthood, etc.
And whenever I hear the line “I don’t wanna be my friend no more, I wanna be somebody else”, it feels like my current state of wishing and wanting to finally no longer be the gender I was born with, but someone else I’ve felt for YEARS I was meant to truly be (which might become a reality soon if all goes smoothly now for me btw).
And whenever I hear the line “Doctor doctor please prescribe me something, a day in the life of someone else” it brings my feminine side to the surface and I wanna dress more and more femininely each time in the process.

Both Sides Now as performed by Miss Hayley Westenra, until yesterday when I discovered a new cover by Jackie Evancho. I have never heard a voice more beautiful than Jackies.

Sorry, but no-one could ever do Both Sides Now as brilliantly as the lovely Joni Mitchell! Holly XXX (P.S. Agree that the song totally speaks to me though!)
- January 1, 2023 at 5:18 am #705594
That truly is a great song, it has different meaning to me now that you pointed it out, thank you.

I like Waking up in Vegas by Katy Perry. She is so cute and vivacious in the music video. I wish I could be her.

I have many favourite songs when in femme mode.One of my all time favourites is It Must Be Him by Vicki Carr.I have sang that number many times in front of the mirror whilst wearing a cute dress, heels and pantyhose.Whilst singing I think of a guy who used to work in my former workplace about twenty years ago.I have had a crush on him for the longest time.I sat opposite him in the office for three years.He is a good few years younger than me and totally straight.He would have a shock if he knew.He is so macho and very sporty.But he is a lovely man.If I was a woman I would wish that I was married to him.

Oh yes, “then he was a she”, a dream for all of us.
- January 19, 2023 at 5:05 am #710589AnonymousLady
Yes “Take a walk on the wild side”. This Lou Reed song was my favorite early on and when ever it came on I would sing to it ignoring the stares of my friends and family. If I came out to them today I don’t think they would be surprised. Also “Lola” by the Kinks was a favorite.

For me, it is Man I feel like a woman by Shania Twain.

That is a classic for us, when I hear it I can’t help but want to dance.

I have an entire playlist on Spotify, but the song that defines Gemma the most is “Everything” by BitterSweet. My playlist is named “Hygge” which is a Dutch word that describes a mood of coziness and “comfortable conviviality” with feelings of wellness and contentment. Hygge is my goal of comfort and contentment as Gemma. I like soft textures, and comfort.

I know this is a discussion that has been going on for a long time, but I wanted to add “ How lovely to be a Woman” sung by the gorgeous Ann Margaret in the movie Bye Bye Birdie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1ilu-ARtiY
I can remember looking and listening to the song and Ann Margaret, and thinking how I would like to look like her, and then she sang that song. But I guess that ages me a lot.

Ann Margaret and Angie Dickinson, I was fascinated by both of them. They were everything I could ever have wanted in being female.

I wouldn’t say I have a special song. But now a days since I wanna be a woman. Girls just want to have fun, man I feel like a woman and perfect day are some of the best female songs I can listen too. There’s lots but those are a few of the best ones Girlfriend!

Kate Bush, ‘Running Up that Hill’ is about making a deal with God to swap lives with another person.
Kate Bush explained in 1985: “It’s about a relationship between a man and a woman. They love each other very much, and the power of the relationship is something that gets in the way. It creates insecurities.
“It’s saying if the man could be the woman and the woman the man, if they could make a deal with God, to change places, that they’d understand what it’s like to be the other person and perhaps it would clear up misunderstandings. You know, all the little problems; there would be no problem.”
The Youtube video is very good. - January 20, 2023 at 10:39 am #710888
I have Dressed for a Long time but always wore Skirts & Slacks and such… But I finally bought a Dress and when I first put it on, all made up and looked in the Mirror the song “Every Body wants to rule the world ” had just started.. The opening verse Hit me so hard.. “Welcome to you’re Life, There’s no turning Back”.. the tears just started flowing.. The rest of the song continued the tears.. Though not suppose to be what the song is about.. Now it is about Me!!! XoXo Jill💖💖💖

Great thread! Since the passing of Christine McVie at the end of November, I’ve been listening almost exclusively to her songs – past, present and everything in between. Her voice, her lyrics, her awesome songwriting and playing…she presses all my buttons (and of course, I’m not the only one!).
I’ve come to realize that I’ve always subconsciously identified with the longing and vulnerable femininity evoked by her voice and lyrics. And it can be argued that she was the primary force in leading Fleetwood Mac to global stardom, while quietly trailblazing her way through the old-school boy’s club of rock and roll.
Yeah, so obviously I’m a major fanboy/girl who is still in mourning. For me, it’s not any one of the songs, but the amazing woman who composed and performed them. What a legacy.
- January 21, 2023 at 11:33 am #711149
Christine McVie was a great loss, I loved her voice and demeanor on stage.

It has to be “ You make me feel like a natural woman “ .When I’m en femme this song encapsulates how I’m feeling at that moment!!
- January 21, 2023 at 1:41 pm #711179
Wow! Did you pick the #1 subject. Here comes the heavy thought. Poetry and music are the soul of humanity. Music makes this MAN cry like a baby. The 3 I mention, one is for we girls. First for my best friend who has left this world, “Sailing” by Christopher Cross. For my lady of 55 years, “Your’re the best thing that ever happened to me” by Gladys Knight. And for us and especially me “ Just another women in love” by the Canadian songbird Anne Murray. Read the lyrics, like the feelings that overwhelm us. “ a fire out of control”. Pass the Kleenex.

No special song but anything that livens up and one can dance too. I was a disco girl when younger and just loved dancing to the music at the clubs in heels and a swing dress and a partner that loved it as much as me. Oh the memories.
- January 24, 2023 at 10:13 am #711912
It’s interesting to read some of the creative picks for songs. Mine are pretty stereotypical, I think. I always smile when “Lola” by the kinks comes on. My wife had Queen’s “I’ve got to be free” on her phone as my ring tone, which is a great song in any measure, even without the music video! I often sing this one when I’m skiing (skiing and biking coaches sometimes recommend singing as a way of getting into the most effective “zone” for difficult terrain).
- January 24, 2023 at 4:35 pm #712008
Lola had quite the night in the song.

Placebo – Pure Morning. Remember when music videos were a thing? I was obsessed with this video and fell in love with the “girl” in it — who happened to be Brian Molko, the lead singer, not a girl. I’m not attracted to men, but I couldn’t get over the fact that he looked so cute: how could I look that cute?

I once saw a lead male singer do the song Proud Mary, while dressed as Tina Turner, I got the same feelings you did.

I like A Better Man by Little Big Town. I love to sing along and I can match the feminine pitch of the girl singing it.
- April 16, 2023 at 3:59 am #732592
A loose interpretation but I see it.
- April 15, 2023 at 8:53 am #732310
For me it’s certainly Lola, but also ABBA’s Dancing Queen and Kylie’s Can’t get you out of my head and I always cry to Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven. But my, Christine’s, favourite song is Shania Twain’s Man I feel like a woman. When I hear any of these songs, if I am not already dressed, I have to change immediately! To dance, to cry, to feel like a woman.

I just read through all the songs and they sound great, but I don’t think anyone has mention “Out of the Wardrobe” by The Kinks off their Misfits album. I think someone in The Kinks was fascinated by Crossdressing…
“Has anyone here seen a chick called Dick? He’s 6 feet tall and his arms are all brown and hairy. He married Bettylou back in ’65, when you had to be butch to survive”
“But when he puts on that dress, he feels like a Princess. He’s out of the wardrobe and now he’s got no regrets.”
Out of the Wardrobe, by The Kinks Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwVw6x7lzGY
Have fun girls!

Hi Katie, no misinterpreting that song, it pretty straight forward. I never heard it before thanks for letting us know about it.
- April 24, 2023 at 9:37 am #734221
I believe I’ve responded to this forum before before but I heard a song today and watched the video and it was quite a blast from the past from my childhood. Check out YouTube for a song called “just like anyone” by soul asylum it’s stars a young Claire Danes and is a little silly but I think any of us could identify with the message. Ty in advance for your comments
- April 25, 2023 at 10:50 am #734434
I am going to have to look that song up and listen to it, thank you.
- April 26, 2023 at 4:12 pm #734683
Another great one from the 90’s is Mr. Jones by the counting crows! The lyrics are impossible to not see myself in. Early in the song it’s goes something like this “You know She dances while his father plays guitar.
She’s suddenly beautiful.
And we all want something beautiful.
Man, I wish I was beautiful. “
This song came out when I was a teen and believe me I wanted to be beautiful and 30 years later I still do. It’s an awesome song and the band has quite a few others. Anna Begins, American Girls featuring Sheryl Crows backup vocals are two more examples. Please take a minute and listen to them and share what songs mean something to you. Im finding more and more songs that make me think about my life everyday. Thanks in advance.- This reply was modified 11 months ago by MelanieElizabeth.

There is one song that I always keep coming back to. I loved this song when I was in high school and now many decades later. It is “If You Could Rad My Mind” by Gordon Lightfoot. On Youtube there is a video for this song and it has a beautiful lady in a gown walking outside and eventually she goes into a mansion, walks up the stairs into a bedroom, opens a drawer and takes out a bottle of perfume. This song always makes me feel mellow and resonates wonderful feelings in my heart.
- April 27, 2023 at 1:56 am #734747
I know the song well but I have never seen the video, it does sound intriguing.
- April 16, 2022 at 3:47 pm #639211
OMG this is the quintessential MTF song ever!
