What's the Connection? : new year

Gelukkig Nieuwjaar (repost)

This is a repost of a New Year's Connection all about New Year's songs. Not any one genre at all. You may notice that I named this What's The Connection? in the Dutch traditional greeting for the New Year. I have some Dutch in my heritage, so it's what my family says. I get that it's impossible to pronounce if you do not speak Dutch. Just remember that the "G" is softer than you think. Anyway enjoy the cover (Amsterdam fireworks in the background) and the weird songs mixed in with more mainstream stuff. For more New Year's songs ← click there.

The New Year (Repost)

This is a repost of a connection back from years ago. There is a little overlap in theme, but I've tried to make this mostly about the day of New Year, not necessarily New Year's Eve. Although you could easily argue that several of these tracks could be New Year's Eve songs. This What's the Connection? is supposed to be New Year's Day. Starting the New Year. New resolutions, new goals, new start. It's brand new. But to many of us, it's also sleeping late feeling hungover or staying up and watching a parade. Eating leftover cold pizza (or is that only me?) Leave me a comment on how it is for you and if I missed a glaring song for the New Year. Click on the fresh as a daisy in the snow cover I designed. Looking forward to a year more of these compilations.

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? Connection 2

Here's part 2 of the What's The Connection? What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? All the same song done by different people in different styles. Tomorrow we'll do another playlist with another theme in this holiday spirit. Remember to click on the cover graphic that I designed. And to leave me a comment on what version you like best (or that I missed). I was constrained with these playlists to the length of a CD as that's what I originally made them to become. Either way, enjoy the music.

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? Connection 1

Planning ahead for New Year's Eve is a pretty normal thing. Going out and finding a party or celebration used to be what you did, especially as a single person on New Year's Eve. Perhaps not so much in times like today, but this song might still be relevant in Tinder times. You tell me. I'm married and older, so I bang on pots at midnight (if we can stay up). That's what I am doing New Year's Eve. If we go out it will be early and with family and friends. Yep, boring. But we still sneak in a New Year's kiss at midnight if we can. Enjoy this two part What's The Connection? Whatever you do this New Year's Eve, I hope it's with someone you love, like the cover of this playlist.
