Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot?

I Wish We Could All Be At A Party Together

“I remember humming this song to myself after spending yet another year alone with depression. I was close to choosing the easy way out that year but something about this tune gives me a warm and positive feeling of a better outlook and future. I met the love of my life a few months later. Happy New Years to everyone, stay strong and happy . <3 “ —YouTube Comment

”The song begins by posing a rhetorical question: Is it right that old times be forgotten? The answer is generally interpreted as a call to remember long-standing friendships.^[10] Alternatively, "Should" may be understood to mean "if" (expressing the conditional mood) referring to a possible event or situation.”
