My grandparents are dead, my parents are dead, my uncles and aunts are dead, and sometimes I wish they were all still alive and around, especially at times when winter seems long and warmth and summertime seems ages away. Every good thing they gave during their life will never be forgotten!!! You are infinitely loved and cherished!!!
This old song brings the tears, both of sadness and joy - - - the memories of dear ones lost, the passage of time and gratefulness for those we love today. Now that I'm old, the passage of time becomes precious, memories become dear and the nearness of eternity becomes a comfort. Good-bye and good riddance to 2020 and a hope for God's blessings on us in 2021.
My heart is so touched by this song. It goes back it seems so many centuries and yet just too yesterday. Life is long and strange but God is available to us. I hear him in this lovely song. Times long ago. I think I will listen to it several times today and I've sent it to my six children. Such a lovely song holistic healing and meaning.
Again as 2023 turns, I hear this song and reflect on the day long gone and loved ones past, while looking to those still here to join me in this time ahead.
Thank you Kyle. Even though we are again slammed in to Tier 4 and not being able to spend it will family and friends. We have no choice but to make what we can out of 2021. Hope you and yours have a great year
I cry, and smile, when I watch this - which I've been doing for the past half hour. This is the quintessential version of the song to me. Now, off to have a wee dram, or two or three. Peace, love and all good to those who appreciate Dougie. Slàinte Mhath
Well, I can not understand Welsh or Scottish, Sorry! Because I am Finnish. I anyway learnt this song very early in school here in Finland. Can you finnish? Osaatko suomea?
My Grandfather is from the Isle Of Skye. Dougie MacLean is easily the most inspirational, traditional and yet most original Scottish artist out of many great celtic artist of these years. Thank you Robert Burns for such a great poem put to such great ancient Scottish tunes and thank you DOUGIE MacLean for always another great performance to stir the emotions and boil the blood.
Just now I listened this old and wellknown song in northern finland alone.I learnd this song early in school here. All we european are together with this crise.
I am a Brazilian but every time I listen to Dougie I feel I should be born in Scotland, maybe i Did in the past. I connect with this music very deeply.
This version of this song has given me an entirely new and painful perspective on the beauty of these words I’ve heard for so many years without a moment’s thought. Thank you for giving yourself to this song, and for sharing your heart with us. All the best 🤝
It's simply brilliant, Dougie's interpretation of this beautiful classic New Year's Eve homage to the coming year. No one can touch Dougie's exquisite vocals and haunting guitar sounds. Each New Year' Eve I listen to one version or another of Dougie's rendition of Auld Lang Syne and always end up in tears. Thank you, Dougie MacLean, and best wishes for a wonderful 2018 to one and all.
Thank you, Dougie. Many a special person have been lost in 2023. Let us hold our Loved ones close, and tell them that they are loved and treasured. ☮ & ♥, Mary in Boone
Love love love. I picture Dougie MacLean and the Corries as the Scotland of song. Thank ya Mr MacLean for singing this sentimental song for us. It brings a tear and a want to come home. For we are afar.
First time hearing this all the way through and I’m sitting here greeting. Missing my family in Dundee and the ones who are no longer here. Thanks for sharing.🏴🏴🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well said Tom, with many thanks to Dougie for giving us this rendition. It brings us all together who hears this, and we give our prayers together, forever and a day. Best wishes for all, and may hopes and prayers be with us all. Godspeed for all. Amen.
A fine, sensitive rendition. And listen to the sonorous Scots pronunciation! What a joy after hearing so many American singers who insist on pronouncing ‘syne’ with a voiced ‘z’ sound at the beginning and other such bungles! This is fine. Aye it is.
Have heard so many different renditions and loved them all ~ but the one I just came across today touches me most. Thank you very much for sharing it ~ Dougie MacLean . . .
For as long as I can remember this tune has always brought tears to my eyes...It is a song that has and will continue to bring in the New Year...And rightfully so.And Mr. Mac Lean has made it his own. A wonderful rendition....Happy New Year to you Sir, and thank you....
Dougie's voice and passion ages like fine wine...but at the same time hasn't aged a day (in the best way) - a treasure and I can't wait to hear him live in the next week or so 💙
I never get tired of Dougie's voice. May the best that life has to offer come to you and all those within your circle of love and light. Happy New Year 2018 from Nashville!
I first posted this to my FB page New Year's Eve of 2018 after my visit to wonderful Scotland. It is so beautiful I had to post it again this New Year's Eve, 2020. Never more beautifully or sensitively sung. Heartbreaking in it's poignancy yet still uplifting. Thank you, Dougie, for sharing your wonderful gift. Such a blessing. Praying renewed hope, strength & blessings to everyone everywhere as we go forth into the new year ahead. 💝 (From CT, USA)
I truly can't think of another person more suited to sing Aud Lang Syne. Thank you, so much Dougie. Through the years, this song has come to mean so much!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For days of auld lang syne We twa hae run about the braes And pu'd the gowans fine But we've wander'd mony a weary fit Sin days of auld lang syne And we twa hae paidl'd I' the burn Frae morning sun 'til dine But seas between us braid hae roar'd Sin days of auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For days of auld lang syne And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp And surely I'll be mine And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne And there's a hand, my trusty fiere And gie's a hand o' thine And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught For auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne
Fantastic song, sang by a great artist. Brings back so many fond memories dancing crossed hands and sing this song with my late mother and grandparents. God Bless them all.
Thank you for this simple tribute for the new year 2021 that is starting soon. We will need a cup of hope and courage to face the big challenges. The best for every person in the world.
Blessed Dougie ... You have been our muse for many years... We have seen you in concert more times than any other artist... And we play you singing this every New Year ❤️
My name is Robert Burns but I was born in South Africa, my grandparents come from Scotland, but your song is so inspiring,I am learning it on piano I am 63 but I will never sing it like you,sir, ,,for Auld Lang syne, my friend
My Family name...Robert Burns...from my Grandmother's side of the family...so sweet to hear my hero Dougie MacLean sing this. Would love to hear you sing "Westlin Winds"
Listening to this makes me feel old and nostalgic. Dougie Maclean's heavenly voice can touch anyones soul. Wish I could play this song just to pass on all the love and emotion to what's to come next.
Let Us "All" Raise Our Glasses 🍾🥂 May Love Peace Happiness Always Find It's Way Into Our Heart May We Never Forget The Ones We Lost and Loved The Ones That Love Us So Now God Bless All
Heart wrenching yet wonderful rendition. I am moved by your sincerity and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. All the family I have lost - mostly in tragic circumstances are with me in spirit. My warmest regards to you and best wishes for a happy New Year Susan
Dear Susan, It is new years eve 2018/2019 and I just read your post after listening to Dougie's beautiful song. I was very touched by what you said and, even though it's a year after your writing, I want you to know I am praying for you. May God comfort your heart and let you know you are not alone. Lady Guenevere in the USA.
I'm with you there.. I've lost most of my Scottish family here in the US during the last couple of years. As I listen to this gorgeous rendition by MaLean (and his Caledonia), as well as a wee dram of whiskey, it takes me back to my father, and my Scottish fam. Good days. MacLean is a special musician.
Brilliant!! Simply and powerfully sung. Surely a poem and song for all ages and generations of time. I've listened to hundreds of renditions... this is my favorite.
Thank you, dear Dougie! This is lovely to have ALL year round...and it's so needed. May we all Give and Take A Cup Of Kindness and create a far better and more loving world. Happy New Year to you and yours, and thank you for all the beautiful music and songs you share with us all. With love xx
Beautiful. I love to hear you sing. Brings a tear to my eye, thank you. 'Lang may yer lum reek', 'May a mouse never leave your girnal, With a teardrop in his eye'.
My grandparents are dead, my parents are dead, my uncles and aunts are dead, and sometimes I wish they were all still alive and around, especially at times when winter seems long and warmth and summertime seems ages away.
Every good thing they gave during their life will never be forgotten!!! You are infinitely loved and cherished!!!
May this huge hug reach you from Argentina then...

Stay safe...
Beautiful sentiments Tom. Couldn't agree more. May all our hearts mingle and mix for the sake
of a better future. John, born March 19, 1933

Thank you Tom. There is no way I could have said it better than what you said. It touched my heart.

A Scotsman singing a beautifully sad Scottish song. Sìolmhor, Dougie.

Frae morning sun 'til dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin days of auld lang syne

For days of auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp

And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
