Why sing the songs and forget about the aim?
He wrote them for a reason. Why not sing them for the same?

Because your reason might not be his/her reason. Because you might like the "sound it makes" as someone said. That is my basic interest in the music frankly. Because you might be on emotional overload and can't really get into one more miner with lung disease but you can still sing the song for someone else. Because you might not know the history or even make sense of the song but if you like it sing it and again someone you sing it to might know more and not have heard it otherwise.

There are as many reasons for singing a song as there are people singing them. As long as they are not used to abuse people, what business is it of anyone else's, or why do they feel the need to socially coerce people to get on board a particular train. mg
