Any suggestions on some epic tearjerker upbeat clean music?

I'm trying to think of something for a video we're doing for a friend moving away. . . playing it at a get together. . .

Not really upbeat though.

Not really upbeat either. You kinda need to see Ladder 49 for the full effect.

green day is good - didn't think of that - any with a hip/hop flavor? I know that just made it harder 🙂

"upbeat" and "tearjerker" are hard to reconcile with each other...

as are "hip-hop" and "music." 🙂

Ok, how long have you know this person? If it's been a long time, I'd go for an upbeat song from a long time ago that you both were into. It's those memories that make it a tearjerker, not the song's lyrics.

Also, where is your friend headed?
