Sedayne, in your video you commit the same fault as 99% of the singers of Auld Lang Syne.

So 99% of singers are wrong are they? I'm Irish-Northumbrian, brought up with strong personal & familial links with Scotland. This is how my folks sang it, and how I sing it now - as most people do, as you say. So think of it not as a fault but a very essential variance.

Can't see, Sweeney O'P, where your tune & text differ gr8ly from the 'conventional',

What I meant was that I use the conventional tune, rather than the others discussed in this (& other) threads which will never carry the same folkloric & empirical depth of meaning no matter how much more authentic they might be considered in certain circles.
