Auld Lang Syne

This weekend, my family is making the trek way out to my great grandmother's grave plot so we can burry my uncle. He passed in April and had lived a full life. He was cremated and has been chilling in my dad's closet since.

It's not the first time in my life I've attended a funeral. But it is the first time there was such a large gap between death and the funeral. The plot is near the old family cottage which was sold while I was still a kid and is a half days travel away at this point. So I've been thinking about songs sung at funerals.

The last Funeral I went to everyone sang Amazing Grace. Which, while a pretty song, I don't think it would capture myself or my family too well. Most of us are more spiritual than religious. Though interesting thing about Amazing Grace, it doesn't translate well into other Languages since the word "Grace" is a Uniquely English word when it comes to the context of religion. There are translations for Graceful or Gracious. But Grace was a mistranslation of the Hebrew Word khen, meaning many things like beauty and favor.

Anyways, the point I'm getting to is I've kinda been fixating on the song Auld Lang Syne. If you are a native English speaker, I Promise you have heard the song before. I think the song is woven into our DNA at this point cause I can not for the life of me remember learning the melody. But I know it!

It's a song that wasn't originally in English though. It was First a pome written in 1788 by Robert Burns in Scotland. It was an effort to preserve the Scottish language after England assumed rule. And while the lyrics have been given an English Tweek over the Centuries, People still say Auld Lang Syng (Old Lan Sign) which means Old Long Since or Old Times Sake.

It is a goodbye song. It acknowledges the good times happened, and says farewell to the past. But it says it in a way that is "Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened." It fits well with anything from Graduations to Funerals. Bellow I have the English lyrics of the song. If you want to hear the melody, just look up Auld Lang Syne anywhere on youtube or spotify. I promise as soon as the first line is sung, you'll know the melody ;)

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.

And surely you'll buy your pint cup! and surely I'll buy mine! And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

Chorus

We two have run about the hills, and picked the daisies fine; But we've wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.

Chorus

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

The phrase “auld lang syne,” which literally translates to “old long since,” basically means “days gone by” in the Scots language.

“Omg, I love these! They go up to size 6X AND they have pockets?! Wow!! But do you have anything longer?”

Sure do, no problem!!

“YES these are great!!! But what about.. longer?”

I gotcha!! Comin’ right up!

“Perfect! But I have just one more question… what if I’m feeling spicy? How about skirts that are even shorter than the first ones?!” Oh, you’re in luck! We’ve got minis now.

“Äiti itki. Isä lähti huoneesta. Vivian istui nurkassa ja kuunteli vaiti. Kissamme Minni hyppäsi vuoteelle ja käpertyi jalkojeni päälle ja kehräsi, sillä kehräämällä parannetaan sairaita.” — Emmi Itäranta. Kuunpäivän kirjeet

“Mom cried. Dad left the room. Vivian sat in the corner and listened quietly. Our cat Minni jumped on the bed and curled up on my legs and purred, for through purring the sick are healed.” — Emmi Itäranta. The Moonday Letters. Quote tranlated by me (unofficial)

I'd like to ask for a family photo of Angel with their found family. Kissy and Poppy included if you please.

a photo found on the bedside table of an upstairs bedroom of a long abandoned house in the woods. the owner was a recluse who supposedly died on the property.

it's strange... what are those things? like old toys that were popular a long time ago, but; they look too... alive to just be toys.
