This is where we usually post our featured Box tune, but, if you were with us yesterday we mentioned, we had a change of pace today. Our featured song today tells of the events that happened on Christmas Eve, a number of years ago. The narrator of the tune is a recording artist, who runs into an old flame in a grocery store. They chat for a few minutes, then decide to go for a drink. However, all the bars are closed, so, they buy a six-pack and drink it in her car and reminisce of days gone by. Pretty soon, they run out of beer and things to say. The narrator gets out of her car, and she drives off. As shes driving away, the narrator contemplates the good times they had long ago, hence the title Same Old Lang Syne. At the most bittersweet moment, he experiences another old lang syne, as he is reunited with that old familiar pain from their breakup at an earlier time in their lives. The snow that is falling, then turns into rain, signifying a happy time turned quite melancholy. Dan Fogelberg wrote and recorded this song in 1980. He was a brilliant composer, musician and singer, who as too many have, left us too soon, with much more to offer. We hope you enjoy our little side trip today from our regular Music Box fare. -- Still to come today on another post is Day 24 of our look at the 25 Days Of Christmas. We wont have a regular Box feature tomorrow, just Day 25. Our regular features will return on the 26th.
