What is a good senior solo song for a lyrical dance?

What are some recommendations for senior solo songs that would work well for a lyrical dance? I'm looking for music that conveys strong emotion and complements the expressive, flowing style of lyrical choreography. Suggestions across various genres are welcome!

Here's my usual list or lyrical song suggustions, and the playlist that goes with it. I'm not sure if y ou were looking for a traditional senior solo song about leaving and moving on to something else, or if your senior solo was just a solo that you're doing that can be about anything, so I'm leaving the entire list. The one's with the astrics are the ones about leaving and moving on. Hopefully you'll find something!!

No Lies, Just Love -- Bright Eyes (you'd have to edit it)

I also wanted to dance to Somewhere Only We Know by Keane my senior year because I knew I would be leaving the studio and that song sort of expressed those feelings so you could try that. I also thought it would be cool to dance to My Way by Frank Sinatra because it also had a revelant message, and you could probably find a remake of that that you like more...

If you want it to be a happy lyrical solo you can probably do it to just about anything by Eisley. They have a really cool sound and rather strange lyrics.
