TTC songs: My battle of will with God

Was/Is there a song that symbolizes your journey to become a family?

Here's mine. I was scared to pieces for the TTC procedures, which we were having done while living in a 2nd world country. I listened to this song over and over again while trying to build up my courage to subject my body to all sorts of risks and pain (brave I'm not).

While I wasn't facing a literal death, it sure felt like I was.

This song is from Jesus Christ Superstar, where Jesus is first angry at God, and then accepting of God's will. The orchestration is amazing, as is the soul-wrenching voice of Ian Gillan of Deep Purple.


Man. I've got a lump in my throat.

Great post!

I have a couple of songs that describe where I am in my ttc journey right now. One is
Just Give it Time by JON MCLAUGHLIN and the other is Stand Back Up by Sugarland.

Even if I do not get my perfect dream in the end everything will fall into its perfect place and I will stand back up and move on.

Ummmm not sure about my response to my dad being stoic HA! It was more like, Dad I wish you could read my thoughts right now but really it probably is a good thing that you can't!

"God, thy will is hard,
But you hold every card."

Yup! There is a huge lump in my throat too. There wasn't just one song to describe my journey through IF, but some of the lyrics in LeAnn Rimes' song "How do I live" reminds me of the time I first started to decide to let go of the dream of having a baby.

"Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
How do I ever, ever survive?"

I love that song. I love the whole play.

Our song was Waters of March (we have the version sung by Susannah McCorkle).

And here's your gin and tonic. Hope the conference is going well!
