Ringing in the New Year A Week Early #MusicMovesMe

It's Monday! Once again, it's time for music.

Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers? We are bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please!)   Our head hostess is Cathy from Curious as a Cathy,  and she is joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and (last but not least) me.

Why not join our music loving folks?  It's so easy. All you have to do is join the linky above with a music post that contains at least one music video.  Without a music video, the post may be removed, or may be labeled *NO MUSIC*.  

Each month, we have a guest host.  For December, our honorary host is Santa Claus.  Santa calls on us to post holiday music so we can all dance and have a good time.  

Now that Christmas is past, we look forward to New Year's.


But first, let's look back at Christmas Day, with the Dropkick Murphys and "The Season's Upon Us".

Now, let's party like it's 1999, with the late, great Prince.

From the movie New Year's Eve, here is Jon Bon Jovi and Lea Michele with "Have a Little Faith In Me".

Finally, how could I  leave out the song Auld Lang Syne when we in the United States use this song to ring in the New Year?  I'm not sure there is an official count of how many times this song has been covered.

I love bagpipes.  I could listen to bagpipe music all day. Don't worry, this post is not filled with bagpipe music, but I couldn't resist one performance of Auld Lang Syne with bagpipes.

This is perhaps my most favorite performance ever of the classic Auld Lang Syne - Rod Steward, live at Stirling Castle. 

When next we meet for Music Moves Me, it will be New Year's Day.  Happy New Year to all my readers!

  6. LOL, the first one sounds like the complete stereotypical Irish family gathering. My extended family put a lot aside by just keeping these things alcohol-free.

  8. Alana,

    What a lovely year it has been to spend it with you! You're a terrific friend with impeccable music taste, an eye for photography, and a way to deeply connect with your readers. You're duh-bomb, my friend. I am looking forward to sharing another year with you in and outside of Blogosphere. Thank you for these great songs to wind up 2022. Rod's "Auld Lang Syne" is a nice discovery. Keep warm and have wonderful rest of the week!
