Songs to Bring in the New Year!

There are a few of these songs I will always want to listen to, then there are those that I will never understand, but it doesn't matter, because the tune carries me through. Enjoy. Every song has a link to it directly that will allow you to listen to it. After reveiwing what everyone else wrote about, I decided to go a different route, including the up and coming new artists, so I conducted a search for songs with New Year in the title, found each of these songs, with a couple of familiar artists.

Of course the traditional Auld Lang Syne, played at midnight of New Year's Eve. You can follow this link and find the lyrics with a tune to sing to. http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/auldlang.htm With the lyrics and tune, this is one the children can sing along with.

Tears for Fears,Goodnight! Works for the end of the night, when it is the last song of the night. No link to this, just something I came across on Myspace.com.

Now if you are into Hardcore, there is The Challenge, Next Year, add it to the rest of your Hardcore play list and enjoy. Not for me, all that yelling hurts my head. Hey, does that mean I am old now? I think I sound like my mother or grandmother there. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=231101111

David Gray, This Year's Love, like the blend of music and the play with words, reminded me of how we make resolutions each year. The times we look forward to the new year.

Abba,Happy New Year from their 1980 album Super Trouper. Evidently the title does not represent the song, as it was once named "Daddy don't get drunk on Christmas." Fun to listen to none the less.

Weird Al YankovicThose Were the Good Old Days.

A twisted song about days past, when he was a child growing up, the scary pranks and frightening images, fun to listen to and sing along with.

Saved this one for last, a song to bring in the New Year from Tibet, New Year song (lo gsar gzhas). There are a few New Year songs from other countries for those who prefer something different.
