Class Song???

Hey, what it a good senior class song? Or what was your class song? My class needs a good Christian song and we aren't allowed to have an upbeat one...So does anybody have any ideas??? My mom's class song was "dust in the wind." hahaha I was sort of thinking...something less depressing... hahaha

Beg your pardon? Why on earth not?

Maybe you could use It Is Well With My Soul, and you could have a simultaneous slideshow with pictures of sinking ships and drowning children to make sure no one got too upbeat.

lol! Seriously...

you mean not upbeat as in Green Day - Good Riddance?

I know that there's more but the only one I can think of is SCC - No Greater Love. eh...

Let's see...listen to "Time of Your Life" at another high school graduation, or hit myself in the head with a hammer.

*Smacks hammer into forehead*

What do you know, it was more pleasant!

The actual title is "Good Riddance." I mentioned it above.

P.S.- It may be "Time of Your Life(Good Riddance)" But until further notice, my previous assertion is absolute truth.

P.P.S.- *tries the hammer thing* *agrees*

Ok, here's the thing...We have to have a song by a Christian band. That is just the rule. haha We were thinking "Thanks for Nothing" by sum 41 haha
But anyways, I think it's dumb that it can't be upbeat, I mean, it's not a funeral! We are happy! But anyways, if anybody thinks of anything, let me know!

How about you buck the system and play whatever song you want? Sounds like a plan to me...

Heya,

How about you pick a song by Sigur Ros? No one will be able to tell if it's Christian or not... and I'm sure it'd be a lot more pleasant than listening to Green Day's song again.

Good Riddance is a good song. Just overplayed. Yay for the understatement of the year. And yes, play a Sigur Ros. They are cool.

For our graduation, we had a contest to write the grad song. There were a few people who wrote songs and then we voted on which song we thought best represented us. It worked out really well..

Peace and love,
Rhonda.

Staralfur would be funny. It's like... a lullabye. And that transition in the middle would make things awkward.

Ooo, ooo! That gives me an idea... They could play Mark Lowry's parody "Face in This World." That's a funny song.
