Graduation song?

Question

My daughter is doing a video for her school graduation which features all the kids in her level and is trying to find a suitable song for the background ...any suggetions?

Answer 1

When I graduated we did something similar. We used "Graduation" by Vitamin C and "Seasons of Love" from Rent.

Answer 2

Graduation(friends forever) by Vitamin C.
it is specifically for graduation,here are the lyrics...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 cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves 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
Come 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 we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I 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, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Repeat 1 (3x)

Answer 3

This one is really short, but it might work right at the end, over the credits: Simon and Garfunkel's "Bookends."

The music is really pretty and delicate. The lyrics (all of them) are as follows:

Time it was, and what a time it was
It was a time of innocence,
A time of confidences.
Long ago it must be.
I have a photograph.
Preserve your memories--
They're all that's left you.

It's a poignant little piece. And because it's a relatively obscure song from a 1970s LP, it's not going to show up on every grad video.

Answer 4

I'll be there for you" from FRIENDS soundtrack (it is a fun way to say that friends are for nice and not so nice days)

In my graduation, we used the song of The hunchback of Notre dame but in Spanish version ( it says something about dreaming of a better life )

In another graduation, we used the Spanish version of the song from Hercules (sang by Ricky Martin, which says something about reaching our goals no matter what with the help of our friends)

Hope this can help you!
