Auld Lang Syne
The traditional song of New Year’s Eve, Auld Lang Syne translates (from the Scottish) to “Old Long Ago.” I think everyone knows the first line, and pretty much just mumbles the rest.
Besides Auld Lang Syne, what song brings to mind the end of the year, or the beginning of the new?
For me, the song that always makes me think about the year behind, and the year ahead, is A Long December by Counting Crows. And that last line always prods me right to the soul.

I agree with GreyDuck, difficult question! But I found an answer, and it’s here.

I would offer either “Life Loves a Tragedy” by Poison or “Winds of Change” by the Scorpions.
