Rock Songs in Service - suggestions?

I think Home (made popular by Phillip Phillips) can make a great song for Water Communion Sunday or plenty of others.

Here's a few of the many I've done in worship.

• Blessed Unrest - Zo Tobi
• Firework - Katy Perry
• For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
• Brave - Sara Bareilles
• Everyday People - Sly & The Family Stone
• True Things - JJ Heller
• Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
• Sigh No More - Mumford and Sons
• Happy - Pharell
• Higher Love - Steve Winwood
• Change Your Mind - Sister Hazel
• San Francisco - Mowgli's
• Help - The Beatles
• This is the New Year - Great Big World
• Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson
• The Times, They Are a Changin' - Bob Dylan
• Something to Believe In - Shawn Mullins
• Shed a Little Light - James Taylor
• Pride - U2

Those are all great. I've done a few just singing and playing piano such as:

• Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
• Fields Of Gold by Sting.
• Let Your Love Flow by The Bellamy Brothers.
• World Without Love by Peter And Gordon.
• Love Is All Around (The Mary Tyler Moore Theme)
• Making Our Dreams Come True (The Theme From Lavern And Shirley)

I have been waiting for someone to ask this question. I'm a drummer who would like to play for my church, but I'm overbooked and can't commit to practice. While I wait for my schedule to clear up, I've been thinking about what songs I'd like to play.

• Atmosphere - My Notes

• Bad Religion - Sorrow; The Question

• Bloc Party - Kettling (a bit extreme lyrically)

• Brad - The Day Brings

• Brother Ali ft. Dr. Cornel West - Letter To My Countrymen

• Fishbone - Everyday Sunshine; Change

• The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

• Howe Gelb - Love Knows No Borders

• Husker Du - New Day Rising (maybe a little too much rocking here)

• John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (selections)

• Operation Ivy - Crowd (would have to calm it down)

• Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come

• Ted Leo + Pharmacists - Hearts Of Oak

• X - See How We Are (lyrics are dicey in last verse)

edit: formatting

Just remembered a couple more I've sone over the years:

• 100 Years by 5 for Fighting
• When The Ship Comes In by Bob Dylan
• Ring Them Bells (also Dylan)

Here's a sample of what our House Band has done (some newer songs in there):

• I Hope - Dixie Chicks
• Good People - Great Big Sea
• Happy - Pharrell
• Give a Little Love - Noah & The Whale
• New Morning - Bob Dylan
• One Voice - Robbie Schaeffer
• The Freedom Song - Jason Mraz
• My Wish - Rascall Flatts
• Heavenly Day - Patti Grffin
• Mercy Mercy Me - Marvin Gaye

I was going to say "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles, but it seems you already have a lot of Beatles suggestions.

"Imagine" (John Lennon) and "All Things Must Pass" (George Harrison) have always struck me as good songs for a UU thing.

I don't know if you're familiar with a band called mewithoutYou. They're a band that I often refer to as being the most UU-friendly rock band I can think of because two of the members are brothers who are Christians raised in a Sufi Muslim household by parents who'd converted from Christianity and Judaism. The singer often writes about religion, but not in an evangelizing manner- lots of songs about his personal relationship with his understanding of God and other songs inspired by stories contained in religious teachings. Not all of their stuff is church-friendly (their early material is pretty hardcore, but they've gotten somewhat mellower over the years), but one song of theirs that I'd love to sing in church is called "Every Thought a Thought of You".

The last verse is Arabic and translates to

every thought is a thought of you/ never concerned about what we should be/ Lets resolve to live in the manner God planned/ there is no God but God/
