Heartlessbitch Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 SOOOO i'm in asb..so naturally i have certain responsibilities for my senior class...and one of the things we help plan is our own graduation after the ceremony is finished.. usually everyone's family and friends come down from the bleachers to the field to meet the graduates,. (our graduation is outdoors on our track and field) soo i'm in charge of coming up with a compilation of songs that should be played AFTER graduation for basically the meet and greet... this is really cool that our senior president gave me artistic control over this... this is what i have in mind so far.. 1.) (for ms. michelle) Freebird-skynrd 2.) Ramble On, Led Zeppelin 3.) Good Riddance, Greenday 4.) I will remember you, Sarah Mcclaclan 5.) In My Life, The Beatles 6.) Today, Smashing Pumpkins if anyone else has ideas for graduation appropriate music add on my list.. p.s. so help me god, if anyone suggests Vitamin C's "graduation song" i'm going to throw up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I dont even remember ours, but Pumpkins had the prom song. I think the first 3 are good - # 2's cool but not as appropriate sadly. Of course, I'd vote for # 1 but Green Day's got a much better shot, realistically, i suppose. I dont know that ive heard # 4, guess ill go download it sometime.

Reverend Jax Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Heartless, as I know you like to beat your own paths, I would advise against Good Riddance. Every single HS used that as the graduation song in 1998. Not sayign isn't not appropriate, just cliche. How about Que Sera? Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root? An REM song would be nice, but I can't thing of any one in particular that would be appropriate. Don't Stop Me Now by Queen? I'm could back if I think of more.

JunkerSeed Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 hmm, though they'd never fly, any one of less than jake's "Leaving town" theme'd songs would be cool, they've got lots of em, best example of that would be "Look what happened." "And I swear it's the last time, I swear it's my last try, we'll walk in circles around this whole block, walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks, then we'll talk about leavin' town, then we'll talk about leavin I swear..." And you could always do "Graduate" by third eye blind, I like the song, if a bit obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 And you could always do "Graduate" by third eye blind, I like the song, if a bit obvious. Wow, that is obvious. Of course, the lyrics "Will I graduate?"" aren't quite as meaningful AFTER you've graduated, but it's not a bad suggestion nonetheless.

soldier of fortune Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I know you americans don't particularly like Oasis, infact most of you probably hate them, but "The Masterplan" would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Americans don't hate Oasis. You got that impression from my openly expressed hatred of Noah Gallagher. Don't judge Americans based on me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Musically their fine. Not "The greatest band since the Beatles" or any of that hype, but ok. I haven't heard any of their non-singles, but from what I have heard, their style hasn't evolved too much, but it's still good none the less. It's just that he's a fucking wanker and he doesn't have a single nice thing to say about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 aw, come on, he's certainly a refreshing change from the fake ass face all other bands put on in interviews. He's funny and opinionated, now, walking off stage and shit (MTV unplugged, ahem) is not cool at all, but I love to hear someone be mean as hell for once. It's all entertainment anyways, kinda nice when even a band's interviews are entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Calling people on there bullshit is cool and I understand the whole "leaving the diplomacy to the diplomats" attitude. But what's the point if you're just a hater. Other than the beatles, has he ever said anything good about anything. If you have something you love, he hates it. For example, I love the attitude the Rolling Stones have to interviewers (I linked an example on the Rolling Stones Thread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Well he's only really gone like that since the break up, before he was too busy slagging off Liam!! But they have great stage presence, and are really good live!! Why change something that works? Although the original line was better!!

Reverend Jax Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 There's something to be said for stick to what works, but there's also something to be said for artistic stagnation. But I'm not going to get into it cause, really, my problem isn't with oasis, it's with noah. I'm been listen to Jane's Addiction alot lately, for the graduation songs maybe Summertime Rolls, or for a more familiar song, Jane Says. Who can say 'no' to steel drums?

King of Snake Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Just to clarify cos I think you may've got your wires crossed JMT and SoF: Liam is the wanker lead singer/penispianist who walked out on Unplugged, Noel is the not-as-much-of-a-wanker-but-still-a-wanker guitarist/songwriter/sometimes lead singer. Umm, just wanted to say that, wasn't thinking of graduation songs....uh, Alice Cooper - School's Out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I knew that already, they're both pricks anyway!!!! Even though they have some good songs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 uh, Alice Cooper - School's Out? School's Out? God damnit! Why on this misarable fucking earth didn't I think of that first? Fuck! Yeah, I forget whcih brother pisses me off, maybe it's both of them, but either way, at least of of them pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Yes I did, and I cranked School's Out on my computer to full volume on the last day of school for my junior year, and I cranked I'm Eighteen (also by Alice Cooper) on my eighteenth birthday.

invisiblecola Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Okay. This is the best site so far that I've found that had anything to do with anything about Graduation Songs for high school. The main reason I am posting this is so that it may make somebody's search a little easier. I am currently a senior and working on our "Senior Video" for my Graphic Arts (yearbook) class. (**Yes... I stole some of the songs from a few previous posts on graduation songs**). Some of the songs don't have to do with graduation necessarily.... but anyway here's the list so far: 1. Green Day - Good Riddance 2. Oasis - Wonder Wall 3. Yellowcard - One Year, Six Months 4. The Beatles - In My Life 5. Michael W. Smith - Friends Are Friends Forever 6. Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway 7. Alice Cooper - School's Out 8. Pink Floyd - Another Brick In the Wall 9. Sarah McClaclan - I Will Remember You 10. Lenny Kravitz - Again 11. DMB - Graduation Song 12. 3eb - Graduation 13. Howie Day - Collide 14. Staind - So Far Away 15. Smashing Pumpkins - Today 16. Eve 6 - Here's To the Night It's a pretty good collection of different music so I hope it helps somebody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
