Auld Lang Syne - Rod Stewart - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In parts of the English-speaking world, New Year's Eve wouldn't be the same without "Auld Lang Syne." Taken from a Scots-language poem written by the iconic national bard of Scotland, Robert Burns, in 1788, this popular standard is sung to see out the end of the year while it has also traditionally been used to soundtrack other endings or new beginnings, like funerals and graduations. In 2012, Rod Stewart captured the festive feeling of the song for his 27th album Merry Christmas, Baby, which entered the Top 10 in multiple countries worldwide including Australia, Norway, Sweden, the US, and the UK. Merry Christmas, Baby also achieved platinum status in the US. Rod Stewart aptly closes out the album with his scorching rendition of "Auld Lang Syne"—produced here by Rod Stewart and Kevin Savigar—piping his raspy voice into this traditional farewell ballad that calls for a drinks-in-the-air moment.
