Ringing in the New Year to the strains of Auld Lang Syne reminded me of something I was thinking about recently. I wanted to collect some looking-back-at-days-gone-by songs.
Of course there are tons and tons of songs about past loves and relationships, but that’s not what I’m after here. So songs like The Way We Were or Yesterday, while fantastic songs, are too specific and will be saved for another discussion. Today I’m looking for songs with a broader look back.
Also note, that while many of these songs can be rather melancholy, I’m not just looking to have an Adele-fueled tear fest (mind you, I certainly love a good Adele-fueled tear fest). Adding more upbeat, proud and/or defiant looking back songs to the list would be greatly appreciated.
So, here are a few that came to my mind. What others would anyone suggest?
Of course I'll start out with Auld Lang Syne. And of course I’ll trust it to a Scot, in Scotland.
My personal fave.
