<p>My H is putting together a photo montage dvd for our D’s graduation. Can anyone think of songs from musicals that might be appropriate musical accompaniment?</p>
<p>We will probably use Seasons of Love, plus some songs that are not from musicals, but I would love to use something from her genre.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>“For Good” from Wicked. My D and her college roommate sang it at my D’s senior recital–very moving.</p>
<p>On a more cheerful note, how about “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now” from Hairspray?</p>
<p>Ditto For Good. Plus, Every Goodbye is Hello from John and Jen.</p>
<p>I don’t know the proper name of it, but it’s from Children of Eden, it’s something like this, the hardest part of love is letting go…</p>
<p>Great ideas…I had a recording of her singing follow your heart from Urinetown with her cousin so I included that. Also a beautiful song by Dar Williams called The One Who Knows- not from a musical but so beautiful.</p>
<p>Keep 'em coming, I really appreciate it! :)</p>
<p>You’ll Never Walk Alone from Carousel. My mom’s class song at her high school graduation in the 50s.</p>
<p>From Two for the Seesaw - It’s Not Where You Start it’s Where You Finish. That might not be the name of it but it’s the chorus.</p>
<p>“I Sing the Body Electric” from Fame (the original movie - not sure if it’s in the remake) - they sang it at their graduation.</p>
<p>A few off the top of my head: Oh the Thinks You Can Think from Seussical, Heart and Music from A New Brain (especially the chorus), Our Time from Merrily We Roll Along (the lyrics are amazing…Feel the flow, Hear what’s happening: We’re what’s happening. Don’t you know? We’re the movers and we’re the shapers. We’re the names in tomorrow’s papers.), What I Did For Love from A Chorus Line.</p>
<p>MTMama- I love “I Sing the Body Electric”- that is a great song that I haven’t heard in decades! It gave me chills when I started remembering the lyrics in my head just now…thanks for putting a smile on my face today. Anothermom-w-q, seems like you got a lot of great ideas here. I have to remember this forum when I do the same thing for my son NEXT year. 
Good luck to your daughter and congrats to you! :)</p>
<p>A few I was going to suggest have already been mentioned, but I’ll add, “Everybody Says Don’t” from “Anyone Can Whistle”
*Everybody says Don’t get out of line.
When they say that then,
Lady, that’s a sign
Nine times out of ten
That you are doing just fine.
*</p>
<p>“Hard to Say Goodbye, My Love” from Dreamgirls has great lyrics, too. </p>
<p>“We didn’t make forever.
We each got to go our separate way,
And now we’re standing here, helpless,
Looking for something to say.
We’ve been together a long time.
We never thought it would end.
We were always so close to each other;
You were always my friend.”</p>
<p>Thanks everyone…now to whittle the list down! :)</p>
