Issue date: 5/6/07 Section: Focus
"My Friends," Red Hot Chili Peppers - A downer delivered in a typical Chili Peppers feel-good way, this track is a great kick-back-and-relax with your friends song. Most certainly a song to take with you to the beach as you kick back a few drinks and remember those good times.
Key Lyric: "Confide 'cause I'll be on your side / You know I will, you know I will."
"School's Out," Alice Cooper - A classic when it comes to the winding down of the school year. The original Alice Cooper version takes the cake over the countless covers, with its killer guitar riffs, it still holds up as a rocking send off.
Key Lyric: "School's out forever."
"In My Life," The Beatles - A short and sweet Beatles track that reminisces about the past.
Key Lyric: "All these places have their moments / With lovers and friends I still can recall / Some are dead and some are living / In my life I've loved them all."
"Save Tonight," Eagle Eye Cherry - With its catchy sing-a-long hook, "Save Tonight" is a great song about savoring the night for what it's worth.
Key Lyric: "It ain't easy to say goodbye / darling please don't start to cry."
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," Elton John - A tale of goodbyes set to a "Wizard of Oz" theme, Elton John delivers a great farewell that just about everyone knows the lyrics to.
Key Lyric: "You know you can't hold me forever, I didn't sign up with you."
"I Hope You Dance," Lee Ann Womack - A great song that certainly sparks memories of all those high school dances we all went to, but also hopes that the listener never gives up in the face of new challenges in the future.
Key Lyric: "I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance / Never settle for the path of least resistance / Living might mean taking chances / But they're worth taking."
"Forever Young," Bob Dylan - Dylan reminds us all to stay young and gives us a life lesson along the way.
Key Lyric: "May you build a ladder to the stars / And climb on every rung / May you stay forever young."
"Photograph," Nickelback - Cheesy? Yes. Fitting? Absolutely. Chad Kroeger takes a trip down memory lane and the life that he used to have, all sparked by a photograph from the photo albums spread out on his bedroom floor.
Key Lyric: "Every memory of walking out the front door / I found the photo of the present I was lookingfor / It's hard to say it / time to say it / Goodbye, goodbye."
"Time After Time," Cindi Lauper - A slow paced, mid-80s, synthesized love song that works great on conjuring up memories of loved ones and memorable moments.
Key Lyric: "You said go slow / I fall behind / The second hand unwinds."
"Here's To the Night," Eve 6 - One of those perfect songs for that perfect moment, quoted in just about everyone's away message that night of graduation. From the moody and melodic beginning to the simple and sweet chorus, Eve 6 nailed the graduation song perfectly.
Key Lyric: "Here's to goodbye / Tomorrow's gonna come too soon".
Key Lyric: "Confide 'cause I'll be on your side / You know I will, you know I will."
"School's Out," Alice Cooper - A classic when it comes to the winding down of the school year. The original Alice Cooper version takes the cake over the countless covers, with its killer guitar riffs, it still holds up as a rocking send off.
