Whilst traditionally associated with New Year’s Eve this is also sung on Burns Night. At the end of the meal the host gives a speech at which point everyone stands and sings Auld Lang Syne, crossing their arms and joining hands at the line “And here's a hand, my trusty fere!”.

A friend and I have been asked to perform a couple of songs at a neighbour's not so traditional Burns Night (there is haggis and though!) and we'll be doing this alongside two or three other Scottish songs.

This is not the tune that most folk will recognise and it has all the verses that are usually missed out.

Have you seen this? We found a Toronto newspaper article highlighting a Gaelic version of Auld Lang Syne in our minutes from 1888! 😍

We expect you all to be singing it next year! 😎

Happy/Happier New Year! I was thinking of the lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne" because it's a drinking song, as the picture below indicates, often with a wassail bowl nearby. We "take a cup of kindness yet for days of auld lang syne", or we toast to the old times, to old friends, to the past. I am nostalgic for sure about great points in time and great times with people, many who are no longer with us. But we can't re-live or re-create the past, and there are aspects of it we shouldn't try to. Maybe it will serve us well to not just toast Auld Lang Syne, but to take a cup of kindness, or show actual kindness today as a toast to the future.

Cheers!

I love this story about the song "Auld Lang Syne" by John Green. It comes from his book The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet youtu.be/jSrqC_angdc

So, back into again to see my mum. Waiting for bus next to my old school - definitely ! 2022 wasn't the best year for me, hopefully 2023 will be an improvement.

remember when we were thankful for the end of these godawful dystopian years?

now it feels like it doesn't matter that the anomie and agony of the current year is ending since it's just going to bleed over into the next year and birth new horrors

Not sure if I put this up or not, but tonight seems appropriate for a nondenominational holiday song
