Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mariah Carey's "Auld Lang Syne" express sentiments of remembrance, gratitude, and goodwill. The title phrase comes from a Scottish poem and translates to "old long since," or "days gone by." The song begins with the question of whether old acquaintances should be forgotten or remembered, and then reaffirms the importance of remembering and kindness. The "cup of kindness" refers to sharing a drink and goodwill with friends and strangers alike. The bridge of the song greets the new year with excitement and cheer, and invites the listener to join in the celebration.

The gestures, the effects, the background, it's all so tacky and wonderful at the same time. Mariah is truly a legend. The woman in this clip is the same woman in Honey, Heartbreaker, Oh Santa, etc. She knows she can do anything. Here is a person who truly lived. Iconic.
