While we're celebrating the new year's eve

Here is a lovely rendition of Auld Lang Syne with the original melody. Tradition has it that this, not the well-known melody, is the tune Burns intended for his lyrics. Whether that's so or not, I do think this old Scottish folk tune is prettier and more fitting than the one everybody knows (which, as far as I can find, is also an old Scottish folk tune).
