Auld Lang Syne’ is probably the most famous Scottish song of all time, its reach now extended far beyond Scottish shores. It’s become a firm part of New Year’s Eve around the world, with revellers crossing arms and singing it in unison to herald in a new year. This tradition is believed to have begun in 1929 when the house band at New York City’s Roosevelt Hotel led a rendition of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ in a performance that was broadcast live over the airwaves around the world. Its lyrics been tied to Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns, even though he admitted that most of the text was passed to him by an old man.This is another break up song but over time it has taken on new meaning from its original intention. Over the past few years life has been pretty harsh for a lot of people and when I sing this song it makes me feel how hard it has been to stay connected and express my feelings for certain people I care about.

This is the best of the remixes - which added some Ibiza 2022 fairy dust. Using the music of the Irish folk song “She Moved Through the Fair,”“Belfast Child” carries a significant historical weight. Songwriter Jim Kerr wrote the lyrics in response to the 1987 Enniskillen bombing that killed 12 people and wounded at least 63. This heartfelt song captures his grief and anger. A wilfully wobbly and floaty machine-pop with light beats that drifts into the subconscious from the underground electronic music producer from near Edinburgh. LFM also presents The Magic Window on madwaspradio.com, apparently. Mercury Prize nominee and SAY Award winner with his album Forest Floor which topped the UK’s Official Top 40 Jazz Charts features this majestic, haunting standout jazz-folk piano instrumental that hits home with a straightforward harmonic hook and a pastoral melancholy
