So even though this is listed as my #2 New Years Song, I must confess that it is really my favorite. Dan is one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time and Same Auld Lang Syne is as close to a perfect song as you will ever find. Let's listen.... I was lucky enough to see Dan perform live many time in the 1970s and 1980s and from his between song banter during those shows I knew that this song was based on something that really happened to him but I didn't know the [...]

You're probably going to go to a New Year's Eve party tonight and as soon as the clock strikes 12, somebody will inevitably start slurring the tune " Auld Lang Syne" because they heard it in a movie. But people very rarely nail down the correct melody, nor do they know all of the words. And what does "Auld Lang Syne" even mean? It began as a poem written by Scotland's Robert Burns in 1788 (with a few of the lyrics cribbed from a James Watson ballad from 1711 called "Old Long Syne"). The tune is a traditional Scottish [...]

Words: Saam Das Benji Schneider released his debut album as Lord Huron earlier this year in his native land of the US to reasonably positive reviews. 'Lonesome Dreams' is yet to reach our shores, arriving on 14th January, but we do have his cover of traditional folk song 'Auld Lang Syne' to bring in the New Year. Download it below. We've been enjoying Schneider's work since November 2010 [...]
By now, we all know and love L.A. dream / folk group Lord Huron. The Ben Schneider-led band released their debut Lonesome Dreams LP this year, an album that became a favorite of XPN listeners thanks to the rhythmically catchy single "Time to Run." To close out their banner year and welcome 2013, Lord Huron ... Continue reading

A Lord Huron lo conocimos a mediados del año pasado en Under , poco antes de que el músico editara su primer larga duración, Lonesome Dreams , un álbum tan bueno que por poco lo coloca en nuestro conteo de los mejores debuts de 2012 . Para celebrar sus éxitos de este año que ya termina, el músico decidió realizar una versión del clásico de Año Nuevo, "Auld Lang Syne", o "Old Long Syne" en inglés, y regalarla a todos sus fans. El músico la [...]

Just to get you in the mood for New Year's Eve — and we're kinda already there, right? — Lord Huron has recorded a cover of "Auld Lang Syne." Lord Huron's debut album "Lonesome Dreams," which checked in at No. 2 on Buzz Bands LA's best-of-2012, is notable for its cinematic soundscapes, and Ben Schneider and crew bring the same aesthetic to the centuries-old Scottish folk song. ||| Download: "Auld Lang Syne" ||| Live: Lord Huron kicks off 20132s First [...]
Dang it... this one was left in "draft" status. Advent FAIL. You may already know of this album since it's on Amazon MP32s best holiday seller list but I've been enjoying it lately and I hope you will too! I'm particularly fond of "Wonderful Christmastime" by The Shins, "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day" [...]

2011 was a quiet year here, but that's not because I didn't have any songs to love, or didn't listen to any new music, or because I don't love you. It's just that I've been busy working on all that other stuff that has nothing to do with love and songs, and also, all that other stuff that does. This is the sixth year I've done this list, and it's a little sparser. But the songs that made it here are worth your precious ear-time, every one of them. And if you feel there's one I missed, or you know [...]

Last night our Jen rang in the new year with Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band in Northampton, MA. And this happened. Thank you to @goodinthestacks for capturing this moment. Happy new year!
It's hard for friends to understand when I try explaining to them this absolute nausea I feel about New Year's Eve. I go out, I appreciate being around the friends... I'm happy enjoying the moment with them, yet in the back of my mind is a swelling sadness, a wave so huge that by the [...]

So here's a quick little history lesson that you can use tonight at the stroke of midnight in order to get that drunk chick across the room to make out with you. "Auld Lang Syne" is an old Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and can loosely be translated into English as meaning "days gone by" or "for the sake of old times". If you repeat that phrase word for word without spitting all over the place and manage to keep your eyes somewhat open during the conversation then it's up to you to seal the [...]

Rien de mieux pour terminer l'année en beauté que de poster ici ce qui apparait comme le parfait mélange entre l'esprit du nouvel an et l'amour pour la musique d'outre manche, le tout produit par notre dj préféré! Comme chaque année, Oneman dégaine son dorénavant fameux " Auld Lang Syne 2step edit "! Avec ce track en poche vous serez le roi des platines ce soir! Club Bass & Wine wish you a Happy New Year!

Il Natale è passato e mancano pochi giorni alla festività successiva: Capodanno. C'è chi lo attende freneticamente (forse anche per scacciare un anno non particolarmente positivo), chi lo ignora, e chi invece lo passerà tra amici o a ballare. E' un'atmosfera diversa da quella natalizia (meno intima e raccolta) ma per qualcuno altrettanto affascinante. Oggi vi facciamo sentire un brano che quasi sicuramente conoscerete se avete visto il primo capitolo di Sex and The City. Si intitola "Auld Lang Syne" Il video di oggi, che vedete in apertura post, è tratto dal film "Sex [...]

It's not a new year's song, per se, though traditionally sung at midnight here and abroad. Rather, its message of friendship everlasting after a life well- and long-lived finds voice in, and brings hope and closure to, a multitude of celebrations throughout the English-speaking world, predominantly funerals and other ceremonies of remembrance. I posted a set of covers of Auld Lang Syne back in the waning days of 2009, too. But the Robert Burns poem and its various melodies seem particularly apt this year. For we heard its [...]
After releasing their stellar debut – Midnight Folly – in 2009, and subsequently touring with The Avett Brothers, Auld Lang Syne has been relatively quiet. Sure, they play (stellar) shows every so often around Rochester, and they head outside of the city to tour a bit when they can, but their easy brand of timeless...

Lord Huron - Auld Lang Syne Happy New Year.

Ever wondered what that song was that peeps played when the New Year rang in? It's called "Auld Lang Syne" and translated from Scottish, it means "old long since" if very literally. Basically, it means "days long past". A way of remembering the year that we just finished. Well, house music producer Slow Hands has made a really cool jam that can bring the new year in in such fitting fashion. It's a remix of the traditional track you hear that was recorded in this instance by Guy Lombardo. Anyhow, do [...]
