What song to sing at my friend's memorial?

OK soo, I need some suggestions a year ago on april 7, my best friend died in a car accident, she was 16. Well they have made it a tradition (started shortly after the wreck) to have a benefit dinner in her honor & to raise money for a scholarship fund. I was asked to sing something at the dinner, but im not so sure what to sing. Not meaning to sound cocky but I am a good singer so no worries on that. I can do pretty much any song you throw out there. From carrie underwood to leona lewis to taylor swift. Well anyways I neeed suggestions like baddd. (: Thannkks!

Answer #1

This may sound strange for a memorial, but I am a unique individule and always try to send positive messages in everything I do which my advice is to sing something really sweet, sincere, but keep it a bitter sweet happy. Thats what it should be because I have a hard time celebrating death, so keep in mind the remembrance, and celebration of your dear friend, maybe try, “ what a wonderful world” . there is a version that intertwines with “somewhere over the rainbow “and ends with “what a wonderful world”. it sounds summery and sort of hawiian. thats just what it reminds me of. I taught some of my dance students a lrical routine to it, and it went over really well. I recieved a lot of compliments on the song selection. its pretty slow and mellow, which I find perfectly appropriete considering my feelings of keeping it happy yet bittersweet. hope that hepls. let me know if it does sweet pea. I hope you bring a light to all who listents to our voice. I am sure your an angel:) Sing your lungs out for your friend. I have been there too. life is hard, but everything has purpose; the hard thing in life is finding it. :)

Answer #2

You could sing Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton, Don’t Know Why by Norah Jones, Kathy’s Song by Simon & Garfunkel, With a Little Help from My Friends by the Beatles (but it is more upbeat), and Wild World by Cat Stevens. That is all I can think of now, good luck with the song and I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

Answer #3

I loved my friend, she died. We had a perfect friendship, we never fought. Its for a loved one and a relationship that ended to fast, it kinda is a love and relationship question.

Answer #4

Either way… It will get moved to the more appropriate category. But yeah, asking it again wont get answers faster. She seems to think differently…whatever though. Go ahead, rate me a ‘0’ because you didn’t get the answer you wanted,definitely isn’t going to break my heart…

Answer #5

I dont know if you ever watched the show the OC but there was a song on there called hallelujah by jeff buckley..you could try that..it was played at a memorial type function- check that one out. you could do a classic song like “in my life” by the beatles but make it a little more current or you could do something like “in the arms of an angel” by sarah mclachalan Good luck, I hope you find something you want to sing!

Answer #6

I think you should sing “Concrete Angel” or “I’m Already Here”

Answer #7

You could sing that Brad Pasley / Dolly Parton song ; it’s about loved ones who have passed on. Or you could sing one of her favorite songs that had a lot of meaning to her so you could share to others what that particular song meant.

Answer #8

I know your friend’s birthday has already passed, but I couldn’t help but give you this suggestion for next year, maybe.

It’s called Footprints in the Sand by Leona Lewis.

Absolutely beautiful songs, I’m sure everyone will adore it.

Answer #9

Answer #12

just because you posted this in love and relationships, doesn’t mean you’re going to get quicker answers. place this under the music category where it belongs.
