Old School Throwback Music

[Canela]

Butches, Femmes and ALL:

I really love old school music. The music I listened to when I came out and was out and about takes me back to a time in my life when I was carefree, beautiful, loved, sexy and confident. This was (for me) a time in my life when everything was in reach and there for the taking...(lol). While I still feel this way most days(!) It has been a minute...Please don't judge me as I'm considerably older than that time of my life...but I am enjoying the revisit.

So this thread is for the songs you listened to when you came out.

So:

Please share your song, then
Post a few words about what it reminds you of



Don't leave me hanging y'all--
Okay I'll go first!

(I didn't find another thread like this but if there is I apologize...)

I heard this on Spotify yesterday and it transports me to myself at 24. I'd just started my one and only long term relationship (16yrs). I felt gorgeous, sexy, loved, confident and on top of the world! Same year I started the radio gig...more on that another time...lol

Next!

THE dance song for me, reminding me of when I was a disco-dolly, was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0quXl_od3g - it's still my favourite of its type.

A few years later, still in my early thirties, I was introduced to Goth, and whilst I'm not sure I have one particular favourite song of that type, this one is certainly one that I love a lot as it has the emotion and energy that a lot of the better 'up' Goth songs did. If you're new to Goth, don't try to understand the lyrics (that way can lie madness!), just feel the emotion, the adrenaline rush... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuezNswtRfo

Oh Esme nha Marie, the first song took me way back, thank you for sharing it! The 2nd one I'd heard before but didn't know it well... both conjure up such great feeling...the "emotional rush" you mentioned, yes!

Thank you for sharing!!! If you think of more please feel free to post more--

Signed,

A disco diva revived...💕

I'm reminded when I hear this song and her singing in such a low key is
"Dam, I love me some deep butch voices, honey"...but I thoroughly enjoy this song no matter, lol...these ladies got me thru so so much back in the day!

I remember this song...I remember I had these high platform shoes that were the coolest thing, with heart cutouts in the heels...Palazzo pants and a tiny halter that had this laced up back. Before I knew anything about corsets...ay Dios...I was a disco queen and I am feeling it right now with this song honey (snap)...lol

This song I was banned from listening to on the radio, in the car, with family...My uncle told my grandmother it was very "nasty" and so they said I could NOT listen to this music. But--all my friends were listening to it, dancing and being all "sexy" and I felt like a dork because I really wanted to...I did of course...I do what I want...ever since I was a little young thing...lol...

Great song!

Dang Rebel!

You went all the way out didn't you? That's some awesome Chicago style jams! BTO and Grand Funk Railroad? Nice! Keep Those coming! And yes by the way, Last Dance was the closing song in most clubs back then. Awesome!

[Glenn]

Linda Shear was one of the most prominent Lesbian Feminist musicians in the seventies. She performed in the first Out-Lesbian concert in the U.S.

This is a very special song to me because during a private jam session with Linda (being a musician then), I composed and played a similar melody for her on her piano in Chicago. Somehow, she wove it into this beautiful coming out song.

I thought about you today Chuckie Chuck and all the beautiful poetry you'd write for me. And then this song came on and I knew you were here, visiting me, making your presence known....
Thank you, Charlito.
You're in my heart forever...but you know that. You still makeme smile even when you make me cry...
Love you always my beautiful angel Charlie...wish you were here...😢

My theory on the slow songs they rarely played until the end of the night was to keep us there, knowing if they played a slow song...peeps were heading out the door to get home!! *snickers*
