I need song suggestions...

[maryinaz]

...for a graduation slideshow. I love "My Wish" by Rascall Flatts, but my son doesn't like country. Any ideas for something like that that would be good for a slideshow of his life?

[Julie Billingsley]

Here is a page I found with some suggestions! :) http://collegeuniversity.suite101.com/article.cfm/graduation_day_song_ideas

Green Day's "Time of your life" not sure is that the song title? Anyways thats a good one :)

oh yeah, I like that song! It's called Good Riddance but it's about a girl dumping her boyfriend. LOL

We had "Time of Your Life" from Green Day, we also did a baby slideshow from all the seniors during the graduation ceremony that had "Baby Mine" by Allison Krauss.

Trying to think of what other songs were used for ours...

Beautiful Day -- U2

[junebug]

well, that sucks that he doesn't like country cause My Wish is PERFECT. its my song to my kids.

[maryinaz]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I had forgotten about that "Time of Your Life" song - we did use that for a football video at the end of the season, but that may not matter.

Ooh, I also love Beautiful Day.

I will check out that link you sent Julie!

And Corey, I know...that song is so perfect!

These are Days by 10,000 Maniacs

[maryinaz]

OK, "These are Days" is amazingly perfect. I'm at least doing a layout with those lyrics. I just bought the song too. :) Thanks!

[Julie Billingsley]

I didn't mention my favorite song... well, it's one of the songs that I think is perfect for how I feel anyway. It's an incredible song and it's by a Christian artist. I even made a kit with that name because of the song. It's Find Your Wings by Mark Harris. Here is the video, the lyrics choke me up everytime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4NS7gChzvk

'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield and 'Steer' Missy Higgins :)

Oh for a boy... 'Memories and Dust' by Josh Pyke.

These are all great suggestions! I'm probably going to need at least 3 songs. Thank goodness I had some of Grant's baby pictures scanned by scanmyphotos.com prior to doing this video. Although the majority of them are on paper layouts.

Julie - that is a beautiful song - I teared up at the first sentence! Ebony - I'm checking them out now...you are as young as Grant so you know more what is current, I'm sure. :)

Im no help I would only know country songs that fit. My favorite is I Hope You Dance & My Wish

[jessica31876]

I also like 100 Years by Five For Fighting...not sure if that fits. They used it on the slideshow for my sons fifth grade graduation

[Joana1n]

OK, "These are Days" is amazingly perfect. I'm at least doing a layout with those lyrics. I just bought the song too. :) Thanks!

Hooray! Glad to help. It's one of my favorite songs. I think it's the one I used when I put together a slideshow for my sister's 30th birthday party last summer.

[Ebony]

Oh yes I love '100 Years' by Five for Fighting as well!
Also 'Photograph' by Nickelback is popular for slideshows :)

[jessica31876]

Oh wow, I love that one!! It's going to be hard to choose! I'm gathering my photos - I think I'll have about 250-300 so I probably will need 3 songs.

Thanks all for all your help!
