rexe at 08:49pm on 05/06/2005Here it is. The first volume of Graduation Day. From The Smiths to The Ataris to Boston. Random music all related to HS and graduation. All files are YSI. So right click. If they are blocked, comment and I'll reup the file. Big zip file of the whole mix available, and individual files as well.
Enjoy, comment, etc...
Seriously people, DOWNLOAD. I worked several hours on this. So give it a chance?
Also rec' songs for Vol II and Vol III. If anyone is bored and wants to make a cover I wouldn't mind. ^___^
Graduation Day: Vol 1 Entire Mix, zip file
01. Cry Cry Cry - The Kid
I'm the kid who always looked out the window/Failing tests in geography/But I've seen things far beyond just the school yard/Distant shores of exotic lands
-Remember sitting in class daydreaming of the things you will do, the place you will go, the people you will meet, and the person you will become.
02. The Smiths - Asleep
Sing me to sleep/ Sing me to sleep/ And then leave me alone/ Don't try to wake me in the morning/ 'Cause I will be gone/Don't feel bad for me/ I want you to know/ Deep in the cell of my heart/ I will feel so glad to go
-The end is near. For some you may want to stay awake and never want to leave high school. For others they do not want to remember school. They would rather sleep and be glad to go...
03. Straylight Run - Existentialism On Prom Night
There are moments when/When I know it and/The world revolves around us/And we're keeping it/Keeping it all going/This delicate balance/Vulnerable all knowing
- "The world belongs to us." <- Teenager Maxim
04. The Calling - Our Lives
Cause these are the days worth living/These are the years we're given/And these are the moments/These are the times/Let's make the best out of our lives
-High School: The Best Years of Your Life. Fact or opinion?
05. Aimee Mann - Wise Up
It's not/What you thought/When you first began it/You got/What you want/Now you can hardly stand it though/By now you know/It's not going to stop
-You are now on the verge of growing up. Only you have to wise up to survive.
06. Boston - Don't Look Back
Don't look back/A new day is breakin'/It's been too long since I felt this way/I don't mind where I get taken/The road is callin'/Today is the day
-Focus on the future, not the past. Move forward, lose yourself, and finally find yourself again.
07. The Ataris - In This Diary
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up/These are the best days of our lives/The only thing that matters/is just following your heart/and eventually you'll finally get it right
-'Nuff said.
08. Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road/Time grabs you by the wrist/directs you where to go/So make the best of this test/and don't ask why/It's not a question/but a lesson learned in time
--Obviously graduation is a turning point in your life.
09. Dropline - Fly Away From Here (Graduation Day)
Celebration through the night/Circle round this fire light/I guess this pack of wolves will pass for friends/Saying who's that coming up to me/Hope and opportunity/You better grab it fast, grab it fast, and hope it never ends
- Moving on in life, things have changed. It's time to move on.
10. Vitamin C - Graduation Song
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money/When we look back now/will that joke still be funny/
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
- Mixxer note: Couldn't resist putting this on here. It fits, so deal.
11. Buffy Musical - Where Do We Go From Here?
Where do we go from here?/ Why is the path unclear?/When we know home is near/ Understand/We'll go hand in hand/ But we'll walk alone in fear
- Security Blanket is going to be gone. What happens now?
12. Simple Minds - Don't You
Don't you try to pretend/It's my feeling we'll win in the end/I won't harm you or touch your defenses/
Vanity and security
-It's from The Breakfast Club. You must love it. Don't forget about those who you loved and cared for. If you loved school don't forget about the time you spent there. If you hated it, well, then forget it.
13. Aimee Mann - Ghost World
Finals blew, I barely knew/My graduation speech/And with college out of reach/If I can’t find a job it’s down to dad/And myrtle beach
-The Summer After.
14. Duran Duran - Ordinary World
But I won't cry for yesterday/There's an ordinary world/Somehow I have to find/And as I try to make my way/To the ordinary world/I will learn to survive
- Time for the Real World. And not the of the t.v. show variety.
