We’re offering our version of “Auld Lang Syne”, from our holiday album Tidings, as a free download to help you and your friends and family celebrate the final days of 2011 while welcoming in 2012. Happy New Year, everyone!

The bad news: we needed to start from scratch with the last track. So, it’s going to be a couple days before we’re finished with the last free track. In its place this week, we’re offering you “I Saw Her Standing There” from our HELP! album. Enjoy!

We made it 51 weeks without any serious glitches and then Nick’s hard drive crashes just as he’s finalizing the track. We’re hoping to have this week’s free track (the last one!) up any minute, but in the meantime, hope you enjoy this free download of our 2008 cover of “Hallelujah” from our Tidings album.
