Hey I'm making a presentation for my sister's graduation and I'm looking for some tunes to accompany it. I'd like to shy away from the typical grad songs. Songs about growth/togetherness and not about love would be great, thanks for any suggestions

So far I have

Ben Lee - We're All in this Together
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

Hmm, if you want to make your parents cry you could do "You Raised me up" by Josh Groban.

we had two graduation songs Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, made a lot of sense with a ton of people heading in directions and no idea where they are gonna end up.

Also had the theme song from RENT, Seasons of Love, was done quite well too by members of our class.

Winnipeg is Fucking Over! By Venetian Snares.


It'd put a twist on the situation, that's for sure.

Or High Speed Music Team Sharpnel's "Highspeedstar-Please Listen with X-Rated Videos MIX"

But in all seriousness, if you want it to be all upbeat and happy, I'd go with some Gorillaz. 19-2000 more so.
