Graduation
A graduation song for your son, for the day the cap goes up
Sons tend to shrug off congratulations. A song that lists the practices, the all-nighters and the job he just landed is harder to shrug off, especially with his name in the chorus.

Pride without embarrassment
A graduation song can be proud without being mushy. Lean on what he did rather than on how you feel, and keep the baby stories to one line at most. He is more likely to replay a song about his own hard work.
Choosing the sound
A male voice can sound like a dad singing and a female voice like a mom, so pick the one that matches who is giving it.
| If he likes | Try |
|---|---|
| rap and hip-hop | Hip-hop / rap |
| soul and R&B | R&B / soul |
| country | Country |
| indie and alternative | Indie folk |
| anything for a party | Upbeat pop |
For example
For example, a mom might send: he worked weekends at the hardware store all through senior year; he still calls me from the parking lot to ask how to cook rice; next month he starts his apprenticeship as an electrician. That last line turns the song from a look back into a send-off.
