Best Songs and Lines About Saying Goodbye.

[Patrick Ferguson]

Doing a corny sentimental graduation speech. Gimme something.

Pat.

[Valmore]

Just play, "It's the End of the world as We Know It."

Seriously.

That would kick arse.

[Grant]

I wanted them to play "Road to Nowhere" by the Talking Heads for my graduation.

[meethraa]

Lou Reed's "Perfect Day". No?

[DDM]

"Roam" by the B-52's from Cosmic Thing (1989). It's not a good-bye in a typical fashion, but the song's themes fit into the journey of graduation.

[Ottmeister X]

I kind of like that Scandal song Goodbye To You.

[Sanagi]

I wanted them to play "Road to Nowhere" by the Talking Heads for my graduation.
Once in a Lifetime would be good, too.

[Expletive Deleted]

If you want really cheesy, try Green Day's "Time Of Your Life" or Semisonic's "Closing Time."

They're horrible pieces of music, but they tend to jump into my head at random points during this time of year.

Fricking 1998.

[Ilash]

How about 'Till the Next Goodbye by the Stones. Real pretty song that. It's on their It's Only Rock and Roll album.

Pat.One of the favorites around here is End of The Road By Boys2 Men.not a favorite of mine,but it's really caught on for graduation ceremonies.

[Reptisaurus!]

I've actually heard people use lyrics from "It's the End of the World as We Know It" in graduation speeches.

And I graduated in '94, so, "End of the Road" was the class song of, like, 98% of area schools.


I wanted them to play "Road to Nowhere" by the Talking Heads for my graduation.

Beautiful.

[Punchy]

I remember one of the speakers at my graduation quoted Zep.

"Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on ..."

I'll always remember him saying that.
