People were joking about the name "Auld Lang Syne" so I decided to look it up on Wikipedia and translated into English from Scottish likely Gaelic it is literally "Old Long Since" but the way we speak today maybe "Long long ago" or "Days gone by" or even "Old Times" might be more useful.
To me, when I sing it I think of all those I loved both friends and family and actors and politicians and anyone else famous we lost last year or any year since I was alive or even before that like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. It is a fond remembrance of everyone now gone that we loved. And we drink to them and our love for each other still alive.
"In Days of Auld Lang Syne".
Happy 2013!
