To the future graduate expecting cash, let me start by saying, I'm sorry.

For the gift giver aiming for 'it's the thought that counts', here's a thoughtful, personal and easy way to express your congratulations to the graduate.

Forward a Song by Email or Share it on Social Media with a Lovely Personal Comment to Honor the Graduate

Although it doesn't sound like much, the secret is in choosing a song with lyrics that suit the person receiving the dedication.

It can be incredibly time consuming to find the right song. Below you'll find a video playlist to quickly scroll through that features various songs about moving forward or looking back on life.

The songs featured below have been carefully chosen for their range in tempo and mood, so hopefully you're able to find something that suits the personality of your Graduate.

You can arrow through each of the 24 songs featured in the video below relatively quickly or go here to listen to a short preview of each song.



If I had to choose my favorite song for a graduation celebration or to honor someone who wants to make a difference in life, I would pick "I Was Here" by Lady Antebellum.

The lyrics to 'I Was Here' talk about wanting to make a difference in this world and wanting to do something that matters. Both the music and lyrics are inspirational.

Be sure to listen to 'I Was Here', it's a wonderful song:


You could of course send a graduation card with a lovely personal note inside.

If you need help in finding the right words, here are some sayings to help get those neurons moving. Use the sayings as is, or modify them to suit the graduate.

  2. Of course I like the idea of giving music for any occasion, but these songs really would be awesome and thoughtful graduation gifts. Even if you a sending a tangible gift, including the song would still be a great idea.

  3. What a lovely way to encourage and celebrate a milestone in life. I like this idea because you can put it to use to cover many miles that might separate you from your loved ones. Music is always a wonderful gift and if it has been chosen for you by someone you love, even more so! Great idea Barbara!

  4. I love your inspiration for honoring the true essence of the one who is entering a new phase of his/her life. Music is priceless. And, the thoughtfulness of your gift-giving ideas take celebration to a whole new level. I used to spend hours creating music and reflection sound tracks for special friends/special occasions. I wish I still did that. Maybe I will now that you have inspired me once again. Thank you for that!

  5. I just recently pulled out a cd that someone had made for me. It was scratched and no longer played without skipping, but I clearly remembered how much I loved that cd when I received it. I really like your idea of song dedication/gift.
