Noah And The Whale - Give It All Back

Some nice indie pop about being nostalgic of the great times you had with your friends

"Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Tonight"

it doesn't fit in with these others as well aesthetically and the lyrics don't directly allude to change, but "Bound 2," probably because it was the go-to sing(/rap)along banger of the last few weeks of my senior year, is wrapped up for me in the feeling of the intense hangover, recovery, acceptance of yourself , and an unsure hint to the future after the ups and downs of those four years

Echoing Silver's sentiment. Some Spiritualized would be awesome at a graduation ceremony or something like that. If I were organising the soundtrack to graduation I would keep it nice and mellow and serene, sound wise I mean. I don't know if this would help, but here are a few suggestions:

Here by Pavement
Fade Into You by Mazzy Star
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle by The Smiths
Today by Ride
Lorelei by Cocteau Twins
Feeling Yourself Disintegrate by The Flaming Lips
Fjogur Piano by Sigur Ros
Hummingbird by Wilco
When The Sun Hits by Slowdive
To Here Knows When by My Bloody Valentine
Perfect Kiss by New Order
All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem
Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl by Broken Social Scene
Kids On Holiday by Animal Collective
and...
Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste by Galaxie 500

That playlist sounds like a crackin' good party to me! I'll stop being narcissistic now...

I don't know but I'm done with high school as of tomorrow and have been listening to a loooooooot of the first three Spiritualized albums lately. It's been pretty good.

My buddy tagged me in a post a few years ago when we graduated, I still get extreme nostalgia every time I listen to it.

Frank Turner - Polaroid Picture (Let go of the little distractions / Hold close to the ones that you love / Cause we won't all be here this time next year / So while you can, take a picture of us)

Alice Cooper's 'School's Out' is an obvious choice.

a lot of times when one of my classes end "i'm free" by the who starts playing in my head. it's been like this for years, and probably would have gotten annoying by now if it wasn't correlated to such a great event

If you're feeling generous and sentimental, "Hard to Find" by The National is a good choice.

The War on Drugs - In Reverse (When I'm done with my time here, I'm going to keep staying strong) (And I don't mind you disappearing 'cause I know you can be found) (Making it last with the grand parade in our past)

Look at the rest of the lyrics. I think the song is actually about not being able to leave a place / person / etc you're connected to, so it's kind of an ode to that feeling of deep down not wanting to leave no matter how badly you want to leave...

Senior Year Songs?

Making a mix CD or playlist (depending on length) for my senior class friends at my school. Looking for songs that are good for graduating, leaving, etc. At the moment, I have:

Mixtape by Brand New ("When I say let's keep in touch, I hope you know I really mean I wish that you'd grow up")
She by Green Day (literally one of the most angsty things I know lyrically)
This is the Day by The The ("This is the day your life will surely change")
Chocolate by Snow Patrol (I dunno nothing specific)
Floating in the Forth by Frightened Rabbit ("So you just stepped out of the front of my house and I'll never see you again")
Another Winter by Photographers ("I'm never gonna spend another winter here")
Boston by Augustana (I'm moving to Boston from California for the main reasons of starting over and not liking the weather here)
This is the Last Time by Keane ("And years make everything alright you fall on me for anything you like and I no I don't mind")
Soco Amaretto Lime ("We're gonna stay 18 forever")

Thoughts on other good ones I'm almost certainly forgetting?
