1231 Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne

1231 Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne

Happy New Year! I was in need of a fitting track for this pick and remembered this track written and performed by the late Dan Fogelberg. While it's not exactly a true New Years song it has over the years become associated with the season. It is quite a sentimental song and is about meeting an old flame in a grocery store that he had not seen in years; from what I have read the story is about an actual experience that Dan Fogelberg had on one Christmas Eve. Throughout the song there is a forlorn feeling concerning this chance meeting.
