I'm a Senior class officer making a 45 minute long senior video... BEAT THAT... Anyways, I'm surprised no one has mentioned MILES APART by Yellowcard. I'm using it as my introduction because it's upbeat and the words are perfect (not to mention they are my favorite band). Another one that hasn't been mention is DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME by Simple Minds.

Try "my funny friend and me" by Sting. It was that song from the movie The Emperor's New Groove. It's a great song.

I am a grade six class adviser too and I am tasked to think of song titles which will be the graduation theme for my graduating students, last year, we used the very nice song Journey sang by the broadway superstar Lea Salonga, it's from Irving Music Corporation abd you can order the album

through the net. The lyrics was written by no other than the very inspiring writer Julie Gold who also did another inspirational song for Graduation THANKS TO YOU. Journey by Lea Salonga says that the journey in a life of a student is endless and one never knows what lies ahead but be strong and be brave coz the heavens will guide you along the way. The graduates cried as the tune is really suitable with the yrics and the voic eof the artist represents the voice of the youth who are saying farewell to one another. Another song I could recommend is One VOICE. The toher songs could be..Just Believe by Sarah Geronimo, When You Believe which was also the theme of Walt Disney's Prince of Egypt, Remember Me This Way, Follow Your Road by Pauline Wilson...oh man this is another fantastic composition. Otehr questions, you are free to ask me through e-mail. My pleasure to share my ideas.

I got it! it's called "Long Time Coming" -The Tragicly Hip. Last year there was a video made for the

four graduating girls on our basketball team and this song was played during it. It's a good graduation song!

am also doing a slide show/ movie for all of my friends that highlight all of our best moments of our senior year. I found that Kenny Chesney's "I go back" is an awesome graduation song

No Such Thing by John Mayer and Our Lives by The Calling are great songs for graduation. The used our

lives at my graduation, and it worked out great, but if i had to pick any song, it would be No Such

Thing.
