Montage Song Ideas

Do you need some help picking out the perfect tunes?

I truly believe that the magic behind the very best montages is the music. Since there are so many songs to choose from, this task may seem overwhelming. First, consider whether you have any songs with special meaning to your family. For example, my son insisted that my husband play Coldplay’s Clocks every single day on the way to preschool when he was 4. When I asked him if he had any songs he wanted in his montage he immediately said Clocks! He is now over 20 and still loves that song! Whatever the reason a song stands out to you, it is always special to include it in a montage so you have a permanent keepsake of it with your favorite photos.

Even if you have no clue at all which songs to include, don’t worry! Here is a list of many popular montage songs along with some lesser-known ones that I have come across and love. You can click on the titles to listen to each, and I have listed which section(s) of the montage works best (but you don’t need to follow my suggestions if you like something better)! I am always adding to this list, so definitely check back.
