Lunar New Year refers to the beginning of the year in several calendars, based on a lunar calendar or a lunisolar calendar.
These new year celebrations sometimes fall on or near the same day of the Gregorian year:
These celebrations fall on other days:
New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count is incremented. In many cultures, the event is celebrated in some manner. The New Year of the Gregorian calendar, today in worldwide use, falls on 1 January, as was the case with the Roman calendar. There are numerous calendars that remain in regional use that calculate the New Year differently.
The order of months in the Roman calendar was January to December since King Numa Pompilius in about 700 BC, according to Plutarch and Macrobius. According to Catholic tradition, 1 January is the day of the circumcision of Jesus (on the eighth day from his birth), when the name of Jesus was given to him (Luke 2:21).
It was only relatively recently that 1 January again became the first day of the year in Western culture. Until 1751 in England and Wales (and all British dominions) the new year started on 25 March – Lady Day, one of the four quarter days (the change to 1 January took place in 1600 in Scotland). Since then, 1 January has been the first day of the year. During the Middle Ages several other days were variously taken as the beginning of the calendar year (1 March, 25 March, Easter, 1 September, 25 December).[citation needed][where?] In many countries, such as the Czech Republic, Italy and the UK, 1 January is a national holiday.

I'm running 'round in circles
Trying to find some peace of mind
Cause it's a lonely place when
All the we need we cannot find
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
And I don't wanna be the one to drag you down
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers
It's such a sweet solution
To close our eyes and walk in line
And all our contributions
Just seem to fade away with time
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
And I don't wanna be the one to drag you down
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers
I cant stand here, waiting
With my hands out, for the ceiling
But I won't lie, I won't try
I can't walk such a straight line
And these bright lights, surround me
People are so friendly
But I won't lie, I won't try
I can't pretend that it's alright, no
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers

C'mon baby, write down your name
C'mon baby, write down your name
