Powerpoint song help - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

One of my sisters turns 50 this week and we are having a surprise party for her on the 14th. I was asked by my niece, her daughter, to do a powerpoint with a bunch of old pictures. This was on Friday (not much lead time for me) so I scanned and photochopped over 100 pics, put them in a PP presentation along with memories, quotes, etc. All this weekend. Now I need a soundtrack. I thought "Time of Our Lives" by Green Day would be good, but now I'm thinking it may be a cliche. One of my other sisters was bringing up "Memories Are Made Of This", Paul Anka, Perry Como, etc. I was thinking Pink Floyd's "Time" Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive", and more modern songs. I want something to complement the pictures, not overwhelm them, cause Lord knows the three sisters and Mom will all be crying before it's over. (They cry over everything). Any suggestions?

Can I suggest not using "Time"? Mainly due to the line "shorter of breath and one day closer to death." May turn out to be a bit awkward.
