The memorial candle acknowledges a loved one who passed away. It is usually the first candle of the BM candle lighting ceremony. Here are some songs that can fit the lighting of this special candle. Some people prefer not to have any song played with this candle and light it in silence.
i think a great song for a friend candel would be "Happiness" from Your a goof man charlie brown!!! I love that song and am going to use it at my bat-mitzvah!

I like Manilow's "This One's for You" too. Born as Barry Alan Pincus, he was Jewish, you probably know that.

We used "This One's for You" by Barry Manilow at our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. He (Manilow) actually wrote that song for his father when his father passed away.

I think "I miss you" by Miley Cyrus would be great for this!!
Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la You used to call me your angel Said I was sent straight down from heaven You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong I never wanted you to leave I wanted you to stay here holding me
[CHORUS:] I miss you I miss your smile And I still shed a tear Every once in a while And even though it's different now You're still here somehow My heart won't let you go And I need you to know I miss you, sha la la la la I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer And now I'm living out my dream Oh how I wish you could see Everything that's happening for me I'm thinking back on the past It's true that time is flying by too fast
[CHORUS]
I know you're in a better place, yeah But I wish that I could see your face, oh I know you're where you need to be Even though it's not here with me
[CHORUS x2]
(I miss you)

Another great song is "Not a day goes by" by Lonestar. It's very touching. The other songs you picked are also amazing songs.
