about

In all honesty, I knew very few of the words to Auld Lang Syne when I decided I wanted make a jazzy trip hop version. Jared Hancock, my co-producer, immediately found a voicing for a Rhodes keyboard and we went to town. We laid down the vocal track about a week later and gave it a listen. It needed a little something to create a nostalgic effect and make it sound like an old record. We added a few clicks and pops. Voila! What you hear here is exactly what I envisioned.

lyrics

Auld Lang Syne
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

Chorus:

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

Chorus

And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

Chorus

for auld lang syne.
