Songs for Grad mass?

PaulMcG

Anyone got any suggestions?

Rebel Chick

Hi
We are actually choosing ours this week as well and it is leading to a lot of heated debates :mad: . Any suggestions would be a big help? Thanks

PaulMcG

They're all saying the usual - Green Day (Time of our lives, I suppose it was though) and Vitamin C!

Vitamin C - Friends Forever (The Graduation Song) just cheesey enough!

THis is our Hey Day - off the guiness ad

that was what they had last year.

Rebel Chick

Exactly for the past three years the leaving cert class song was greenday time of our lives and it is really starting to irritate me. We want this year to be a bit more unique and unusual so all suggestions are very welcome?

Time of Your life... had that one forced upon me when i was choosing the music for my LC graduation last year.

Try 'Superman' by Lazlo Bane or that song by Baz Luhrman... the one where he just talks about getting older (Our principal tried to talk over that song but got shut down by the gravelly tones of the guys voice...)

Superman - Five for Fighting
HeyDay - Mic Christopher
Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley

Nightswimming - Rem

most emotional song i've ever heard, just taps into something.

Rhyme

Oh man, i totally forgot about Mic Christopher... you could try a smidgen of Damien Rice too

Matthewthebig

Opeth - The Leper Affinity

Just beautiful

Seeing that it's a mass, you should try and fit a song in that has some sort of religious theme in it. My year had Hallelujah sang by one of the guys. It came across very well.

I just had a quick search on BearShare for Graduation songs and here are just some I found,
Sad Graduation Songs- Billie Joel - Times To Remember
Kayne West - Graduation Day (doubt that will be used though!!)
Sad Graduation Songs- Billie Joel - Times To Remember
Graduation Songs- phill collins - do you remember
Sad Graduation Songs - that's what friends are for
Sad Graduation Songs- 10000 Maniac_These Are Days
Dave Matthews Band - Acoustic - The Graduation Song
Saved by the Bell - Graduation Song

More like STYX, COME SAIL AWAY.

Better than all that sentimental crap. You want angels and aliens.

Got the track list for the graduation cd for Skerries Community College last year...

Sunscreen - Baz Luhrman
No Superman - Lazlo Bane
Stuck In The Middle With You - Steelers Wheel
Hayday - Mic Christopher
What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Blackbird - The Beatles
Time Of Yor Life - Green Day
Lonelily - Damien Rice
No Poetry - Gary Jules
Goodbye Song - Bear In The Big Blue House

Yea but what would u pick?
Cannonball just because everybody knows it? It kind of fits, actually listening to it now i'd def vouch for him.

What u think about an original? could be dodgy.

Eskimo

Ooooh, thats a tough one... im a big fan and i have real trouble choosing...

Ill stab at... 'Lonelily', 'Delicate' (perhaps not), 'Green Eyes', 'Amie', 'Sweet Avenue' and to lighten the mood (if you can get yor mitts on it) 'groovin'...

Thats just a quick flick though

maybe
The Frames - Your Face
lyrics include
"I'm gonna wait for you, i've got to send this tape to you"

or maybe some bell x1,

Eve, the apple of my eye
In every Sunflower
Next to you
I'll see your hear and raise you mine

essentially you're looknig for "beautiful music"

randomfella

I wouldn't have any of them for the grad mass. Most people want something they know. Good chance we might have a Damien Rice song since he came from my school.

u2 - sometimes you can't make it on your own. wait actually is that appropiate?

Shyster

save tonight- eagle eyed cherry
its like our year's song n everyone will be all sad and then laugh at everyone whos crying

"I remember" damien rice(mainly lisa) is prob a bit too slow...

Camogie Playa

Definitly HeyDay!!!!!Thats a suggestion at our school
Not soppy

Knifey_Spoony

If you want a really really depressing song choose Des'ree "Kissing You" from Romeo and Juliet. It makes me cry each time i hear it.

rainbow kirby

Lol, Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall

**katie**

Yeah we're doing Heyday as well i think. What about Live Forever by Oasis or Star Star by the Frames?Living On A Prayer- Bon Jovi?or Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield...

Camogie Playa

Ya Bon Jovi's Living on a prayer would be a good choice too!!!I can just hear it now.........

annette curtain

the graduation song by vit c and time of your life

Would play more than that or else everyone will be in tears.....most of my classmates were fighting during our last year and i dont get on with many of them even now but i still miss secondary school and the fun. Even though i moved on to bigger and better you'll never forget, and you need songs that reflect that no matter how stupid that sounds!!!

* starts crying in the corner*

*then realises on the beer on the beer on the beer *

*does happy dance*

Camogie Playa

Graduation Song by Vitamin C is so cheesy i think. it's been done a million times. Lets finally lay it to rest!

JackKelly

Touch my Bum - The Cheeky Girls

cece1986

do not miss behave on ere last day of term our mass etc was cancelled cause of some **** wits went mad and sprayed fire things all over the place and went mad in the local town
