I once sang "Lonesome Robin" in a group and a guy remarked, "Why would anyone write such a song"? It's one of my favorites but it didn't do a thing for him.

I prefer songs that have something of interest to say, a story to tell, a look into an historical event.
I like the Corries but Kishman's Galley is not one of my favorites. Hearing the Gaelic version didn't help.
