Auld Lang Syne
Chase Holfelder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never be brought to mind;
Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
On Auld Lang Syne.
For Auld Lang Syne,
My dear.
For Auld Lang Syne,
We'll take a cup
For Auld Lang Syne.
We too have run around
The slopes and picked
The daisies' fine.
We've wandered many
Wary foot since
Auld Lang Syne.
For Auld Lang Syne,
My dear.
For Auld Lang Syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet for
Auld Lang Syne.
The lyrics of Chase Holfelder's "Auld Lang Syne" seem to be a call to remember old friendships and memories. The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" itself means "old long ago" or "times gone by", and the song asks if these old acquaintances should be forgotten and left behind. However, the singer then goes on to say that, despite the passage of time and the changes that have occurred, they will still remember these old friends and the kindness they shared.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer and their friends have been through a lot together - they have run around in fields, picked daisies, and wandered through many different experiences. But even though they may have grown apart and moved on with their lives, they will still raise a cup of kindness to each other in memory of these shared experiences.
Overall, the song seems to be about the bittersweet feelings that come with the passage of time and the changes it brings, but also the hope that some things - like old friendships and memories - will stay with us forever.

I think it's crazy how you can stay in minor key. I'd always find myself switching back to major. it's hard.

I have the opposite problem. I always hear myself sing minor, never major.
