Dan Fogelburg: Same Auld Lang Syne

      I figured since it is the last week of school-classes literally ended today- then I would dedicate a post to my favorite Christmas song...ever.  Every year, 105.1 seems to play this song to the point where I almost get sick of it. (Notice how I said ALMOST).  This year is a bit different.  The radio stations have been playing music for weeks now.  I know for a fact that 93.3 started playing the Christmas tunes ever since the day after Halloween.  How can I remember this?  Because I was disgusted.  That is seriously way too early to be playing Christmas music.  I mean helloooooo?  We all still need to enjoy Thanksgiving!  Ok, I ranted way too much...

      Anyways,  I am a bit bummed because I have only heard my favorite Christmas song, Dan Fogelburg's Same Auld Lang Syne only two times.  TWO!  Thats it.  If any 105.1 DJ's are reading this, please oh please play this song more.  Last year,  I heard it all the time and this year seems to be a bit different.  Why is that?  It is the most beautiful Christmas song I have ever heard.  You see, my mom is a huge  Dan Fogelburg buff and needless to say, she was very upset the day of his death which was December 17th, 2007. She introduced me to this song, and even at the young age of oh...10 years old, I loved this song. 

Dan Fogelburg Same Auld Lang Syne


    Isn't it beautiful?  Its a song not only about Christmas time, but it is a song about change.  The last few seconds of the song end with the classic New Years Day tune Auld Lang Syne.  This represents the change that these new lovers have to face for the new year as well as their new lives without each other.  It is a song that illustrates an appreciation for an old love and the experience that is had with that person.  Don't we all wish we could run into our ex in this romantic way? *Sigh* 
    Anyways, POINT IS- It's so romantic and this song NEEDS to be played more.  It just needs to.  I am so sick of hearing Santa Baby and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause.  Frankly, those Christmas songs just disturb me.
