Discovered in a Christmas Tree: Day 28. Post 4 of 4. Auld Lang Syne.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

And finally...

I'm hoping that lots of Pros fans will be singing along with this version instead of the usual one on Saturday night... I chose 28th so that you'd have time to learn it. There will be a test.*g* Meanwhile, feel free to take the icons and alter them if you want.

Thanks to my betas again, and thanks to you all for making this a really exciting Pros-y holiday season, through fics and recs and pics and comments and prompts and just being around.


Remember this at midnight on 31st.
(with apologies and thanks to Robert Burns)

Should Major Cowley be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should CI5 too be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
Well take a cup of loving yet
For auld lang syne.

 

And surely I'll be your partner yet!
And surely you'll be mine!
Through well and ill and young and old
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, etc.

 

We two have run about the town
And pulled the triggers fine;
We've staked our lives on ops and obs,
Sin auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, etc.

 

We two have been as close as one;
I'm yours and you are mine.
We've loved and laughed and braved the world
Sin auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, etc.

 

And there's a hand, my own true love!
Give me a hand o' thine!
We'll drink to bonds that cannot break,
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, etc.

 

Happy New Year!

That's a terrific idea! Works so well together with the icons. Thank you! :-)

I'm so glad it worked for you! Thanks for commenting!

Oh, nice job! I really like how you gave us a better version of this song. The icons are cool. I've snagged a few.

This stanza was my favourite:
We two have been as close as one;
I'm yours and you are mine.
We've loved and laughed and braved the world
Sin auld lang syne.

Well, I hope you've learned it by heart!! *g*

[milomaus.livejournal.com]

I´ll never be able to hear anything else if this song will be sung! *HG*
You´re fabulous!!
And thank you for the smiles and the LAUGHTER!

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to have entertained you! I really hope this version of the song will linger...

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

You've had so many great ideas for these posts it must have taken up a lot of your time so thank you for everything and well done!

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

It was fun! part of preparing for Christmas! I'm pleased if people liked them. I hope they liked your icons, too!

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

I hope they liked your icons, too!


Well you actually made all the icons from my screencaps (apart from the bauble, I think) so all credit to *you*!

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Not really! You did the gold frames - I just resized them. And I added extra colour to the bauble one so that it would show up at that size. Let's agree it was a joint venture but you did the original work!

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

You did the gold frames - I just resized them

That's true, I forgot about that. I was just thinking that if someone makes an icon (deciding on size etc) from a screencap then they've made the actual icon....but anyway, the whole post looks very good!

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

I much prefer your version of the song*g* And all the icons are wonderful.

Thank you for so much delight, they are all perfect:D

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear! I hope everyone who has read the song will have that version in their head on Saturday...

And I hope I provided an icon for your post!!

[sunray45.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! Not sure if I ever knew the words to Auld Lang Syne, so I will surely be singing these ones - that's if I'm still awake at midnight. *bg*

Thank you for all your posts and icons. They have been something to look forward to. *hugs*

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I aimed to make it a shiny day - glad I succeeded!

And yes, from now on those are the words...*g*

[moonlightmead.livejournal.com]

Oh, great end to the poems. I know it's an aural art form (particularly if you're going to sing it!) but I like the icons appearing all the way through it, as well.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I think maybe you're supposed to think of the pics to remind you of the words... And I hope some of us sing it! Though I doubt if my husband or neighbours would be impressed! *g* Still, in my head...

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Hehe, what a perfect way to round off a succession of wonderful posts! And all so beautifully decorated with such lovely graphics and icons!

As someone who can't write any form of poetry or verse, I'm in awe of your talent!

Thank you for treating us! :-D

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Ah, but can you sing? Someone needs to put a rendering of this somewhere...

Glad you enjoyed it all!

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful! I really enjoyed that, thank you. Happy new year to you too :D

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I could have sworn I'd replied to this - LJ up to its tricks? Anyway, thanks for commenting and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Ah wonderful, thank you! You're right, someone (or better yet a group of someones) should record a song podfic (a podsong??) of this :D

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

They really should - maybe at the next Scarsdale meet or something like that? I shall have to encourage people... It would at least be in time for next new year!

[franciskerst.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I like this version.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

There are murmurs of maybe getting somebody (or more than one somebody) to make a podcast of a sung version in time for next new year!

Glad you liked it!

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Oh that was fun reading those again. This one and the first one are my definite favourites, and yay for your iconage as well. So pretty all of them.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

So glad you weren't tired of them already!! I had fun writing them and making the icons. I suppose I ought to post a link on my own journal - I meant to and then New year intervened (and those smallfandomfest prompts I'm writing which have taken over my life - why didn't you stop me???)
