"because the song was not intended to be"

Thankfully things change...   

I'm not even sure 'intended to be' is relevant when applied to music...

Anyway...

I have a 'medley' I guess you'd call it... From Emigration to Immigration... starts with Fields Of A Rye... done, not up-beat per-say, but with a strong attack... With 'stones'... not like most people do it... all misty swirly and with no bones at all...

Followed by "The Outside Track" again, not slow... not fast either, but strong...

Followed by "When The Boys Come Rolling Home" abso-frigg'n-lootly played FAST!

Another good one, though mellow is James Keelaghans "Refugee"

Chorus
"All the ones who ran from war
All the wealthy and the wounded
That have landed on this shore
They don't mean a thing to me
All that matters is the one
Who will be with me tomorrow
It's a lonely heart
That loves the refugee"
