1 – I LIVED | OneRepublic

Hope when you take that jump, you don’t fear the fall
Hope when the water rises, you built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out, they’re screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay

(…)

And I hope that you don’t suffer but take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you’ll say…
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

2 – BUON VIAGGIO (Share The Love) | Cesare Cremonini

Coraggio lasciare tutto indietro e andare
Partire per ricominciare
Che non c’è niente di più vero di un miraggio
E per quanta strada ancora c’è da fare
Amerai il finale

(…)

Non è importante dove
Conta solamente andare

3 – EMPIRE STATE OF MIND | Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys

4 – WELCOME TO NEW YORK | Taylor Swift

Walkin’ through a crowd, the village is a glow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

And it said
Welcome to New York
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Se guardi si vede lontano
Tutti i colori li vedi più forti

In questa parte di mondo la strada finisce
Comincia la vita.

Told her I had to go
And I know it ain’t pretty

All our troubles
We’ll lay to rest
And we’ll wish we could come back to these days, these days

I’m just the same as I was
Now don’t you understand
I’m never changing who I am

I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but not til you move it

Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
I’ve traveled all this way for something

Now take it in but don’t look down

‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ey
I’m on top of the world, ‘ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ey
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world

And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now

15 – CRAZY | Lost Frequencies

I will give them every part of me
Put my heart where everyone can see

They can call me whatever they want
Call me crazy

But that won’t change me
I just don’t care what the world says
I’m gonna make it
They can call me whatever they want
So what if I am crazy

Oh Lord
This is so much harder than I thought
But I will give them everything I’ve got
One day I am gonna prove them wrong

Oh Lord
Let me be the one to set them free
I will give them every part of me
Put my heart where everyone can see

To let you know you’re almost home
So breathe in, and hold tight

Time has a way of diluting emotions
But I won’t let distance get in between us, no

I will call you by name

I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast
‘Cause I’m a hopeless wanderer

The skies I’m under

And that’s home you know
Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine

There’s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I’ve come to know

27 – DON’T FORGET WHERE YOU BELONG | One Direction

Been a lot of places
I’ve been all around the world
Seen a lot of faces
Never knowing where I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know
I know the sun will be rising
Back home

(…)

Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was

(…)

Don’t forget where you belong, home
Don’t forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don’t
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

I’ve been away for ages
But I’ve got everything I need
I’m flicking through the pages
I’ve written in my memory
I feel like I’m dreaming

Oh, so I know, I know, I know,
I know that I’m never leaving
No, I won’t go

Short days when the nights are long
When I think of the days I’ve gone

Don’t matter how far I’ve gone
I’ll always be around

And my family lives in a different state

It’s been a long day without you, my friend

And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again

We’ve come a long way from where we began

Oh I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again

(…)

First you both go out your way

And the vibe is feeling strong and what’s

Small turn to a friendship, a friendship

Turn into a bond and that bond will never

Be broken and the love will never get lost

And when brotherhood come first then the line

Will never be crossed established it on our own

How could we not talk about family when family’s all that we got?

And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

When that line had to be drawn and that line is what

We reach so remember me when I’m gone

32 – I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU | Hannah Montana

I always knew this day would come

We’d be standing one by one

With our future in our hands

So many dreams so many plans

Always knew after all these years

There’d be laughter there’d be tears

But never thought that I’d walk away

With so much joy but so much pain

And it’s so hard to say goodbye

But yesterday’s gone we gotta keep moving on

I’m so thankful for the moments

So glad I got to know you

The times that we had I’ll keep like a photograph

And hold you in my heart forever

I’ll always remember you

(…)

Another chapter in the book

Can’t go back but you can look

And there we are on every page

Memories I’ll always save

Up ahead on the open doors

Who knows what were heading towards?

I wish you love I wish you luck

For you the world just opens up

But it’s so hard to say goodbye

(…)

Everyday that we had
All the good all the bad
I’ll keep them here inside
All the times that we shared
Every place everywhere
You touched my life
Yeah one day we’ll look back
We’ll smile and we’ll laugh
But right now we just cry
Cause it’s so hard to say goodbye

33 – TIME OF OUR LIVES | Tyron Wells

This is where the chapter ends

A new one now begins

Time has come for letting go

The hardest part is when you know

All of these years, when we were here

Are ending, but I’ll always remember

We have had the time of our lives
Now the page is turned
The stories we will write
We have had the time of our lives
And I will not forget
The faces left behind

It’s hard to walk away
From the best of days
But if it has to end
I’m glad you have been my friend
In the time of our lives

(…)

We say goodbye
We hold on tight
To these memories
That never die
We say goodbye
We hold on tight
To these memories
That never die

When I leave this world, I’ll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won’t forget

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here
I did, I’ve done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark, soul, everyone will know, I was here

I wanna say I lived each day, until I died
You know that I, been something in, somebody’s life
The hearts I have touched
Will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference
And this world will see

35 – IT’S SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY | Jason Mraz

How do I say goodbye to what we had,
The good times that made us laugh outweigh the bad
I thought we’d get to see forever but forever’s gone away
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

I don’t know where this road is going to lead
All I know is where we’ve been and what we have been through
If we get to see tomorrow, I hope it’s worth all the wait
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

And I’ll take with me the memories to be my sunshine after the rain

It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

36 – GOOD TIMES | All Time Low

When we laughed
When we cried
Those were the days
We owned the nights
Locked away
Lost in time
I found the nerve
To say that

I never want to leave this sunset town
But one day the time may come
And I’ll take you at your word
And carry on
I’ll hate the goodbye
But I won’t forget the good times
I won’t forget the good times

‘Cause I’m going to make this place your home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Tell the world I’m coming home

Tell the world I’m coming

I’m back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong
(I’m back baby)

I feel like there’s nothing that I can’t try

And if you with me put your hands high

If you ever lost a life before
This one’s for you

And you, and you, and you, and you

I’ll be home soon

41 – GOOD OLD DAYS | Macklemore feat. Kesha

We’ve come so far, I guess I’m proud
And I ain’t worried about the wrinkles around my smile
I’ve got some scars, I’ve been around I’ve felt some pain,
I’ve seen some things, but I’m here now
Those good old days

You don’t know, what you’ve got
Till it goes, till it’s gone
You don’t know, what you’ve got
Till it goes, till it’s gone

I wish somebody would have told me babe
Someday, these will be the good old days

42 – HALL OF FAME | The Script

Don’t wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame
And the world’s gonna know your name
‘Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world’s gonna know your name
And you’ll be on the walls of the hall of fame

You could go the distance
You could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile
You could be the hero
You could get the gold
Breaking all the records that thought, never could be broke

(…)

How you ever gonna know if you never even try?

43 – DON’T STOP BELIEVING | Journey

Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world

Hold on to the feelin’

Streetlights, people

45 – HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL| High School Musical

Looking forward from center stage to graduation day

Time to get the future started!

What we leave, what we take with us

No matter what, it’s something we’re apart of!

We learn to fly, together side-by-side

I just hope the rest of my life

Will feel as good as my

High school musical

Who says we have to let it go?

It’s the best part we’ve ever known

Step into the future

But hold on to high school musical

Let’s celebrate where we come from

The friends who’ve been there all along

Just like

Our high school musical!

(…)

Someday we’ll be looking back, memories we’ve had

All the songs that we lived through!

The best of times, so why leave them behind

Why can’t the rest of my life

Be like my

High school musical
