Graduation video songs (High School)

[Tinker'n'Fun]

I posted this over on the family boards also, but thought I might get some more traffic here...

I have been collecting pictures of my daughter since Freshman year. I would like to put them all together in a video. The only problem I have is music.. I haven't a clue other than "Forever Young". So please tell me what you think and if you can please provide a link to the songs. Thanks.

Rascal Flatts, "My wish for you" is a good one. Don't have a link.

Thanks, I can google it. Not a problem, just with moving pictures all over the place, I guess I am getting a bit lazy.

 

[Magic Mom]

Do I make you proud
Seasons of Love
Time of your life

this is my pick though...

the lyrics--
Graduation (Friends Forever)"

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excitedand we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1]
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1]

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

That's the one that came to my mind.

Thanks for the suggestions, I am signing off as DD came home from work. I know she will catch on if fuddy-duddy mom is listening to songs on you-tube. I am grateful for any other suggestions you may come up with. I will be back much later when they fall asleep....

 

[simba20]

10,000 Maniacs -- These Are (the) Days. Funny I am a fan and can't remember the exact title.

 

[MI mom of 3]

DD's class song was Good Riddance by Green Day...that one always seems graduationy to me.

DS's this year is You've got a friend in me from Toy Story.

Another that might work is The Time of My Life by Daughtry

I just graduated college, and one of my friends made a picture slideshow for us, and these were the songs

 

[MissJude]

I'm not Gonna Cry-Corey Smith
This song made my cry at my daughter's grad


Sunday Shoes, Cap and Gown
The whole town gathered around
Waited 18 years now it’s all comin down to this.
I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
My best friends all here in rows
No turning back, Now its time to walk that line
This tassel is gonna turn
But when the moment passes by
We’ll just walk away
Then slowly grow apart

But I’m not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I’ve waited my whole life
Now I’m gonna fly right outta here

It’s a bittersweet goodbye, but I’m not gonna cry

Friday night, football games,
First loves and first heartbreaks,
It didnt matter who won or lost,
Only how we played,
Memories as good as gold,
Tearin' up those mountain roads,
racin' out 53, to old georgetown,
sure we made a little trouble,
but learned from every mistake,
so theres no regret,
we've done the best we could

so im not gonna cry, no
not one sad or happy tear
ive waited my whole life
now im gonna fly right outta here

these have been the best years of my life
so im not gonna cry

its been a lonely, winding journey
and we've lost a few along the way
still we've hung in there through the tribulations
now its time to celebrate
its our graduation day

so im not gonna cry
not one sad or happy tear
ive waited my whole life
so im gonna fly right outta here

this has been the best day of my life, so im not gonna cry

its a bittersweet goodbye, im not gonna cry

Schools Out

You'll never walk alone

 

[Grumpy's Gal]

first choice is graduation (friends forever) by vitamin C.

It's a great song and suitable for any grads.

 

[mickeyboat]

I Could Not Ask For More - Sara Evans

 

[xCourxCorex]

Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds (from the breakfast club)

my HS Graduation song was "Miles Apart" by Yellowcard

 

[Drew Sailbum]

Director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juilet) set a newspaper column by Mary Schmich to music. It is an almost spoken word style piece with sage advice to graduates best known as Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) Just snip the intro where it refers to the Class of 99.

I had forgotten all about this song until a PP posted it. It's the perfect song for graduation.
When I graduated, our song was "Pray for Me" by Michael W. Smith.
