I got the idea that for graduation this year, that I would make some of my friends a cd with songs about friendship on them. If anyone has any ideas about what to put on it tell me. I would perfer only broadway songs on this cd, but tell me ANY ideas that you come up with.
The only songs I have so far are: "For Good" "Graduation" by Vitamin C
I Will Never Leave You -- Side Show Together Wherever We Go -- Gypsy Bosom Buddies -- Mame My Friend -- The Life
Non-Broadway That's What Friends Are For -- Dionne Warwick (I think... If Im wrong, I know it's a cover version though) Time of Your Life -- Green Day There You'll Be -- Faith Hill Music of My Heart -- NSync/Gloria Estefan You'll Be In My Heart -- Phil Collins, Tarzan soundtrack
If I think of anymore, I'll come back and post them
"You're every gay man's wet dream!" ~ MA

"Hold up your head. Never be afraid to shine. Viva la difference in my body and my mind. All out with loneliness Such a waste of time. Come in from the outside" ~ Taboo
Bring On Tomorrow-Fame I can't believe no one said this. It was my classes Graduation song last year. We were fine singing it for Graduation but the last day of class our director had asked us what our favorite song from high school was to put in the senior bios, and well we sang through them all our favorites on the last day, and when we sang bring on tomorrow, we all lost it, hahah I almost made it, but they got me with 15 minutes til class was over. Everyone was wondering why our eyes were all red at lunch.
My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...
Technically not a friendship song per se, but it is a very strong "togetherness" song as the theme is friendship. I think it make a great graduation song: "Our Time" from Merrily We Roll Along by Stephen Sondheim.
WELL good graduation songs/ friend songs: Old Friends -- getting my act together... we're gonna make it after all -- Leader of the Pack My Friend -- The life
"Happiness" from the Broadway Musical, "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown."
My friends and I had actually made a tape of songs (yes I said tape, not CD...I'm old lol) back when we graduated from Junior High. Here are the songs we used...since I just went upstairs and found the tape: 1. Count On Me- from the movie "Waiting to Exhale" 2. If We Hold Together- from the movie "The Land Before Time"...also on Diana Ross's greatest hits 3. Remember Me This Way- by Jordon Hill (I think that's their name) 4. Now and Then- from the movie by same title 5. We Go Together- from "Grease" 6. You Were There- from the movie "Simon Birch" 7. My One True Friend- by Bette Midler 8. The theme song from the Golden Girls 9. At the Beginning- from the movie "Anastasia" 10. Friendship- from "Dubarry Was A Lady" 11. The theme song from Perfect Strangers 12. The theme songs from Friends 13. Wind Beneath My Wings- by Bette Midler 14. I'll Remember- by Madonna 15. Friends- by Bette Midler 16. You've Got A friend- by Carol King 17. Time of Your Life- from the movie "Dirty Dancng"
"It's the little things; the details, that distinguish the Barbra Streisands from the Rosalyn Kinds."~Gilmore Girls~
A lovely song to add...but may I make a suggestion? I would go with a Barbra/Bernadette/Betty version rather than the Ken Jenning/Angie Lansbury 'Oh ****, you know what we've done and now I'm going to have to kill you, Toby' version.
"I'm so looking forward to a time when all the Reagan Democrats are dead."
lol I know I'm not really that old. I just meant it as a joke considering that some young kids today consider tapes to be antique, and they only know of CD's and MP3's, and I-Pod. I graduated Junior High in 1996.

CJR.. Surprised you didn't suggest "I Can't Do It Alone" ...
Hahhaha Actually, I was thinking of adding "Nowadays"... put it on a friendship type cd I made for a friend of mine when she was leaving for school and having a complete panic attack about moving away from everyone.
And since when is "Time of Your Life" called "Good Riddance"? Did I miss something? hahhaha
