TTC after 35

GTKY: Songs for TTC

So, I've recently been putting together a playlist of songs that make me feel strong, happy, uplifted, etc.  I play it in the car a lot.  So, I was wondering, what song sums up your TTC journey so far?  
*** Child & current pregnancy mentioned ***

12/2015: IVF #1 transferred two great looking embryos - BFP!
First ultrasound: TWO beautiful little heartbeats!!
Harmony: negative; level 2: babies look great and are boy/girl! :) 

Re: GTKY: Songs for TTC

  • I've always liked "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors, but the past few weeks, I'm obsessed with "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten.  I play it in my car and yell along (notice I didn't say sing, since I can't sing!).  If you guys don't know this song, I just love the lyrics.  It sums up where I'm at with this whole stupid infertility journey.  

    "Fight Song"

    Like a small boat
    On the ocean
    Sending big waves
    Into motion
    Like how a single word
    Can make a heart open
    I might only have one match
    But I can make an explosion

    And all those things I didn't say
    Wrecking balls inside my brain
    I will scream them loud tonight
    Can you hear my voice this time

    This is my fight song
    Take back my life song
    Prove I'm alright song
    My power's turned on
    Starting right now I'll be strong
    I'll play my fight song
    And I don't really care if nobody else believes
    'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

    Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
    Everybody's worried about me
    In too deep
    Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
    And it's been two years
    I miss my home
    But there's a fire burning in my bones
    And I still believe
    Yeah I still believe

    And all those things I didn't say
    Wrecking balls inside my brain
    I will scream them loud tonight
    Can you hear my voice this time

    This is my fight song
    Take back my life song
    Prove I'm alright song
    My power's turned on
    Starting right now I'll be strong
    I'll play my fight song
    And I don't really care if nobody else believes
    'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

    A lot of fight left in me

    Like a small boat
    On the ocean
    Sending big waves
    Into motion
    Like how a single word
    Can make a heart open
    I might only have one match
    But I can make an explosion

    This is my fight song (Hey!)
    Take back my life song (Hey!)
    Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)
    My power's turned on
    Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
    I'll play my fight song
    And I don't really care if nobody else believes
    'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

    Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me

    Great post!  I'm gonna have a listen to those songs @emsmama15.  
    For some reason when I read the lyrics I immediately thought of Janis Ian's "From Me To You"...but I don't know why or how it applies completely, except that I'm feeling emotional about each of our individual paths.
    It's really just humbling and sober to read about all of you on this board, and I'm completely grateful for the support.
    I feel genuinely bonded and rooting for each of us to have our dream come true.

    I'd post a link, but I can't figure it out....I'll try

    One of my favorite TTC/IF songs is Michael Buble's  "I just haven't met you yet"... I imagine that I'm singing it to my future child.  I'll come back and post a video if I find it...

    I'm not surprised
    Not everything lasts
    I've broken my heart so many times,
    I stopped keepin' track.
    Talk myself in
    I talk myself out
    I get all worked up
    Then I let myself down.

    I tried so very hard not to lose it
    I came up with a million excuses
    I thought, I thought of every possibility

    And I know someday that it'll all turn out
    You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
    And I promise you kid, that I'll give so much more than I get
    I just haven't met you yet

    Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

    I might have to wait
    I'll never give up
    I guess it's half timing
    And the other half's luck
    Wherever you are
    Whenever it's right
    You come out of nowhere and into my life

    And I know that we can be so amazing
    And baby your love is gonna change me
    And now I can see every possibility

    Mmm

    But somehow I know that will all turn out
    And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
    And I promise you kid, I'll give so much more than I get
    I just haven't met you yet

    They say all's fair
    In love and war
    But I won't need to fight it
    We'll get it right
    And we'll be united

    And I know that we can be so amazing
    And being in your life is gonna change me
    And now I can see every single possibility

    Mmm

    And someday I know it'll all turn out
    And I'll work, to work it out
    Promise you kid, I'll give more than I get
    Than I get, than I get, than I get

    Oh you know it will all turn out
    And you'll make me work, so we can work, to work it out
    And I promise you kid, to give so much more than I get
    Yeah I just haven't met you yet

    I just haven't met you yet
    Oh promise you kid
    To give so much more than I get

    I said love, love, love, love, love, love, love
    I just haven't met you yet
    Love, love, love, love, love, love
    I just haven't met you yet

  • @Cupcakegal930 is Cannonball a cover of the Damien Rice song? If so loooove that song.
  • @GoldenKeys - that one's on my playlist too.  I especially love this part -- "I guess it's half timing, And the other half's luck."  How true is that of TTC?  :)  I've asked my RE NP if she thought we'd gotten lucky or we were just younger when we got pregnant the first time.  She said she thought a big portion was luck...

    No it's her own song. I do like the Damien Rice song though!

  • @GoldenKeys , that's so sweet. I like that idea of it being for your future child. Lots of luck to you.

    Not sure how I didn't see this post before now! So fun! I don't have a song, per se, re TTC but I did hear one of my favorite upbeat songs the other day. Up Up Up by Givers. It's just fun and peppy and cheers me up, if only temporarily. It's good for those mood swingy type days.
