Music PhD Debunks Auld Lang Syne: Why We Sing It Wrong

Описание: Discover why you've been singing "Auld Lang Syne" wrong your entire life! Music PhD David Lapadat breaks down the real meaning behind the world's most famous New Year's Eve song – it's NOT about forgetting old friends, but a powerful call to REMEMBER them.
In this deep dive, we reveal:

The ancient pentatonic magic that makes the melody timeless
Robert Burns' 1788 rewrite and his hidden Freemason connections
Full Scots lyrics translation (the "should auld acquaintance" line is rhetorical – it's about cherishing memories!)
Why the crossed-arms tradition comes from Masonic "Chain of Union" rituals (fraternal brotherhood, not conspiracy)
How Guy Lombardo made it THE New Year's anthem in 1929
Common mistakes: turning a reunion toast into a farewell dirge

Perfect for New Year's Eve 2025 – sing it right this midnight! Sources include Dr. Morag Grant's 2021 book Auld Lang Syne: A Song and its Culture and historical records from the Scots Musical Museum.
