Need new music

Postby ridon127 » Sun May 30, 2010 1:59 pm

IT's that time of year again.. I am working on the school DVD. I need some new ideas as i have used about all that has been suggested here. I need a song for all the year round events to start out the dvd. I could use maybe 3-4 depending on length. I am so brain dead at this point in life I can't think. Any suggestions helpful. So far, I started it with the donors, etc with the song "Give a Little Love" from Bugsy Malone. Then introduced the families with We are Family.. Thanks!!!

Can you name some themes or styles you're looking for, Donna?

Right away I thought of Chuck Berry's "School Days". But that's so generic.

Steve-- don't really have a theme or type of song. I have alot going on and can't really htink straight at the moment so I am desperate for help. I have pictures of all the things we have done this yr--fall festival, christmas activities, snowday, rodeo, easter, swim day and toy wash day.. I had thought about dividing it up into 3 different songs--somehow..

Cheryl, thanks for the link. I will check them out. I have graduation songs, I need some for each of the 6 classrooms. I have one for the graduates called I believe by Nikki Yanofsky.. I have that part pretty well thought out. The yearbook this year is just not going to be as good as normal but I think the parents will be happy with whatever they get this year. They are all aware of my situation so I think they will be o.k. with it.. Thanks for your help..it is appreciated.. :-D

Here's a suggestion for what it's worth...
Do you need to have songs with lyrics? How about just finding some instrumental stuff that you like. You don't have to worry about whether the words match the occasion that way.
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Some thoughts are songs from Free to Be You and Me - Particularly When I Grow Up,

Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles

Brand New Eyes - Emilie Mover

La ti Da - The Icicles (target Ad)

Brand New Day - Time Meyers (target ad)

That's Just the Way We Roll- Jonas Bros

Honey Tree - Mostar Driving Club (from car commercial)

my own two hands - Jack Johnson

It's the Time of your Life - Randy Newman

Life is Wonderful
Make it Mine
Kicking with You - Jason Mraz

Magic- either Pilot for classic version or Selena Gomez Current

I am Changing - Mafia Bianca

Mahana Mahana - Great version by Cake off the For the Kids CD
Smile - Uncle Kracker

Shine - Laura Izibor

Fly me Away - Annie Little (from Kindle Ad)

Seasons Song -Kaiser Cartel

Rolling O - They Might Be Giants (great instrumental for kids)

That's What I got for now
Happy Editing,

Beth

I do a lot of pre-school and elementary school videos - my kids are 4 and 6. In fact I think I have used every song listed at least once.

Beth, I forgot about the Shine songs. Wheat Kings shine video has a great tempo.

Donna, are the year end videos for the graduates or for the whole school? If it is only for the graduates then you could use songs that you have used before. Or if it is a song from a few years ago could reuse too. The one from the Brother Bear soundtrack, think it is On My way, has a fun tempo. You recommended that one to me and I used it on a college graduation video. It fits for all ages.

It is for the whole school. I do a section to thank donors, etc. Then an overview of the year. There are 6 individual sections for each of the classrooms, a section about graduation and then a part for the grads from the time they start to the day they graduate. It is usually a watch me grow type thing. I found a couple of songs from the previous list. I haven't had time to go thru them all.. thanks again..

Great suggestions have been adding some to my library.

Another song I've used is "wish you Well" by Justin Hines. I used it for a video of my oldest son's first day of school this past fall. it could be used for a grad song as well.
