Need Ideas

  • My daughter is graduating this Sunday from High School.
    I am having a video made for her from the time she was born til now. It has her with ALL of her family and her with friends.
    What I need ideas for is songs to put on this dvd.
    I already have "Forever Young" by Rod Stewert, "Graduation" by Vitamin C and "In My Daughters Eyes" by Martina McBride.
    I still need two more and I am all out of ideas. I can't ask her because she doesn't know about it.
    I really could use some help...
  • OH SLI~ You only need ONE song: Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo' ole ~~ all you need to do is play this song through the entire CD!

    Have fun at your daughter's graduation ~ my step-d graduates friday ~ 2 of mine down ~ 1 step-d on friday and 1 nephew in 2 years to go!!
  • There's a great spoken word song by Baz Luhrman, but written by Mary Schmich. It may be hard to find, but the radio stations always play it around graduation. I absolutely adore it. Here's a link to its "lyrics." It's better listened to though; the way he speaks it is very powerful. It's a bit tongue in cheek, but it also has a lot of great advice.

    I just looked that up on itunes and I really like that song! Thank you!!
    I have heard it before, I believe on "50 First Dates" and on Taxi Cab Confessions" but I never knew who sang it.
    I had heard you meantion him before but never knew who he was.
    I have to admit to you though when I first started reading you post and I saw Over the Rainbow I thought for sure you were gonna say by Katherine..
    So your idea is a go and once again THANK YOU!

    I still need more though. Who would have ever guess it would be this hard to pick out songs....If she liked music from the 80's I could spit them out no problem..

    HarpoChicoGroucho, I can't find the music to yours. I did print out the lyrics though because I like them. I think that she would also. That way I can at least put them in her scrapbook.:
  • What was the hit song when she was born?

    There is a song in a musical that I love,,, *A New Brain* not sure of the name but its about always being there. *All for you* I think
  • I don't know if it is available digitally yet, but Taylor Hicks' new song "Do I Make You Proud" would be GREAT!
