graduation / going away songs?
My brother just graduated from college and is now moving to California to go to post-graduate school. His party is this Saturday, and as his "gift", my sister and I are going to sing him a bunch of songs that we're going to mix together. We already have a few, but we need a lot more because we're planning to play a mini - movie of clips of us when we were younger.
If you guys have any song suggestions that would go with it, that'd be really great. It could be about going away or graduating, growing up, etc. Even songs about love if it goes well with what I'm doing this for.
Our songs so far are -
"More than Words" - Frankie J.
"Yesterday" - The Beatles
"In My Life" - The Beatles
"Without You" - Mariah Carey
"Time" - Chantel Kreviazuk
"Farewell To The old Me" - Dar Williams
"Wind Beneath My Wings" - Bette Midler
"Time To Say Goodbye" - Sarah Brightman
Any suggestions would be great. :]
PS - I think the Vitamin C song is too overplayed, so I've already rejected it.

I LOVE creating compilations. I do it all of the time. As a matter of fact, I am the person my friends or family call when it comes to music choices, etc.

In My Life - The Beatles (Excellent choice)
Daniel - Elton John
Times Like These - Foo Fioghters
Today - The Smashing Pumpkins
The Time of Your Life - Green Day (this is a good one for the picture slideshow or the movie clip)
