| I'm putting together a slideshow of photos of a longtime camp friend who recently passed away. We're getting together for a memorial weekend where we'll do a construction project in his honor and likely share stories, etc. I'm looking for music to set this slideshow to. My slideshow old faithful, Iz's Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World combo isn't really right for this. The weekend is more a celebration of his life than a mourning of his death so I don't want anything too somber but at the same time, it probably shouldn't be party music either. Got any suggestions? |

How Do I Live Without You Leann Rimes or Trisha Yearwood
I Hope You Dance LeeAnn Womack

I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston
I Will Remember You Sarah McLachlan
It Was Your Song Garth Brooks
My Heart Will Go On Celine Dion
Remember When Alan Jackson
Some Sweet Day Mariah Carey & Boys 2 Men
Somewhere Over the Rainbow Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole
Stand By Me Ben E. King
Thank You Ray Boltz
Thank You Dido
The Dance Garth Brooks
The Golden City Phil Baggaley & Ian Blythe
There You'll Be Faith Hill (Pearl Harbor Soundtrack)

To Where You Are Josh Groban
What a Wonderful World Louis Armstrong

What were some of his favorite songs? That might be a direction to go. I'm so sorry for your loss...I'm sure whatever you come up with will be treasured and wonderful. |

I'm not a big Country music fan, but Garth Brooks - The Dance pops in my head for this sort of thing.

If you want music with no words, some of Jim Brickman's piano solos might work. I use his stuff for a lot of my videos. "A Beautiful Mind" is a good one.
"Remembrance" is another good one.

| Probably the best song for memorials that I've heard is "100 Years" by Green Day. |
