One of the most memorable days for anyone is their Graduation Day. Whether it’s grammar school, high school, college or even professional school, it’s a proud moment. Graduating earns you a diploma but also something more - a sense of pride and satisfaction that all the hard work you put in paid off.

School is tough. Maybe when one gets older they forget just how difficult it was to juggle expectations from parents, teachers, friends and keep it together. This new music video has one purpose and one purpose only. Even though the song is titled Graduation Day, the sole purpose is showing just how tough school can be on kids. This rock funk song channels a happy vibe with an undercurrent of R&B emotion. The music video is an honest video about a college grad. It’s not all fun and partying. Life never is, is it?

"This funky rock song is about your graduation day," says Sarantos. "My parents were immigrants from Greece and though my dad worked like a dog, there was only ever one goal for him for me and my sister - education. He cherished every graduation I ever had, even grammar school! I'll never forget the beam in his eyes as he sat there proudly. My dad never bragged or talked incessantly about his kids. But I'll be honest, seeing him smile (and have a day off) on my graduation days were some of the happiest moments in my life. I knew how much it meant to him and that there was nothing he valued more. Money didn't matter. Fame didn't matter. He always told me - no matter what you go through in your life, no one can take your education away from you! So of course, I just had to make the music video really not focus on the glorious happy day and celebration but instead show what it took to get there, all the hard work you put in to get to that stage and get that diploma. There’s even a hidden reference to the Greek school that my parents made me go to during grammar school!"

Lyrics:

Graduation Day

Intro

(chuckle)

It’s your Graduation Day today
And you look so happy

Verse 1

Today is the day
Cheer and dance with your friends (go ahead)
Today is your special day
Your tears and sweat are at an end

Today marks your arrival (yeah)
You sacrificed so many nights (so many nights)
You deserve that giant title
You have earned the right (yeah)

Chorus 1

Hey hey hey
It’s Graduation day
Strut across that stage

Hey hey hey
It’s Graduation day
The next chapter waits!

PreVerse

You finally got that diploma, didn’t you?
Yeah of course you did
And you deserve it!

No more need to play it safe
You know, they can’t it away from you

Verse 2

When you woke up this morning
Were you thinking ‘bout yesterday? (yesterday)
Remembering all that fear and pain
That you suffered for this little gain

You rose above the paperwork
Satisfied every deadline (deadline)
You deserve that happy smirk
You’ve earned the peace, the peace of mind

It’s your time, it’s your time to shine
You deserve that title
You’ve earned that title
You’ve earned the right (yeah)

Hey hey hey
It’s Graduation day
Strut across that stage

Hey hey hey
It’s Graduation day
The next chapter waits!

The next chapter waits
