Senior Lyrical Solo Ideas?
I'm looking for ideas for a senior solo song to dance to. In the past, I've done Breathe (2am) by Anna Nalick, I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack, All the Right Moves by OneRepublic, and I Stand by Idina Menzel. I'm looking for a lyrical song that has a good message for a senior solo, something kind of nostalgic but not depressing. Something like learning something, or being ready to fly or leave home, or anything that has a lot of meaning. Nothing too slow, but not too fast. I want it to be really powerful and leave an impression. If you have any ideas for me, please help me out! Thanks :)

Maybe try Mama's Song by Carrie Underwood? A girl at my studio did it last year and dedicated it to her mom.

Never grow up by Taylor Swift would be really good. It's all about her growing up and moving out on her own. The best day would be a good one too of you're looking to dedicate it to you mom. It's a little childish but my friend and I are planing to do wherever I go by Hannah Montana our senior year( we're sophomores) it's just a good song that describes the friendships we've had at the studio.
