The last bell and graduation are not just school holidays. They are about saying goodbye to the usual life, making the first adult decisions, and a bit of nostalgia that you want to keep. And also about the music that makes these moments more special.
That is why graduates pay special attention to choosing a playlist, in particular songs for the graduation waltz. A selection of tracks that can become the soundtrack of the end of the school stage is further in the material of Channel 24 .
The last bell before graduation is the moment when everyone is still together, but it already feels like these are the last days together. This state is well described by calm, slightly nostalgic songs. For example, Skryabin's track “The End of the Film”. It's like the finale of something big, to which you're already accustomed.
Kvitka Cisyk's gentle song “The City Sleeps” is well suited for a waltz. It sounds calm and even a little sad.
And Anna Trincher's “School” is a song that immediately brings back all school memories, so it's hard not to include it in such a selection.

KRISTONKO also sang about growing up. Her track is called “Adults” .

By the way, many people also associate the soundtrack to the TV series “Novenka” with school – MELOVIN's song “Sails”. This is an emotional track about love, sincerity, passion, and accepting each other as real.

At the same time, the last bell is not only about farewell. It is also about the fact that something new and interesting will happen next, even if it is not yet clear what. The track VLADA K and KOLA, called “Believe in miracles”, fits in well here.

Another unconventional option for the last bell is the song “Don't Be Afraid”, recorded in a duet by Klavdia Petrivna and OSTY .
If you don't want Ukrainian songs, you can choose the English-language track by American singer Lana Del Rey – Young and Beautiful , which translates as “Young and Beautiful.”

Another option for a prom dance is Sting's Shape of My Heart , a song not about love, but about inner reflections: why we make certain choices and what is behind them.

Although not all the songs in this collection are directly about the last bell, that's how it remains in the memory over time.
