Sarah Mclaughlins song 'I will remember you'was played at my Graduation three years ago, I find it hard to believe that the current Rap or hip hop music is playable as a Graduation or a wedding for that matter, anyone agree with me?

Theses are all great graduation songs, my favorite is 'My life' by the Beatles. It really sums up the mixed emotions of Grad. time, a new future but leaving some friends behind who you may never see again, a very emotional time in my life Exclamation

I would say the carpenters song ' Only just begun' is the most heard song at Graduation ceremonies, as well as Journey, Beatles and REO speedwagin in that order Idea

It's odd that almost all the songs still played at graduations and weddings are the classics, just shows how well they hold up, and how forgettable todays music is.

I'm familar with " Somewhere in my heart" and your right, it's a really sentimental but beautiful song, and the big band arrangment is top notch, I also recommend it highly for graduation or weddings.

I went to the graduation of this girl I was seeing at the time. It was in a small town. Their theme was "boats against the current," and their theme song was Styx "Come Sail Away." It was very well thought out.
