Should old acquaintances be forgot? 

I get goosebumps singing Auld Lang Syne but I never even knew what it meant. 

Well I’m not the only one who didn’t understand these lyrics. Historians call this; “The song that no one knows.” 

So last year as I was preparing to sing Auld Lang Syne at my Evanston NYE concert I was going to find out what it really means and sing a more literal translation. This morning I delved deeper, and as it turns out, Auld Lang Syne is a brilliant yogic treatise on how to begin the new year with a clear head and a big heart.
