A Song was used in the AoL to promote healthy, blight-free, crop growth. That song involved Ogier, Aiel, and Nym. Tinkers are modern-day descendants of the Aiel. The present-day Tinkers seek a Song that is important to them, a song which they think they "lost." The Tinkers feel that this Song is important to them and the world.
That is not the Song. That is a Song. The Age of Legends had a number of them, evidently, as Lews Therin invites Ishamael to Sing, if he has the Voice, and I very much doubt he was planning to go farming.
What the Tuatha'an are looking for is a Song that would bring paradise. It's like modern Aes Sedai looking for 'the Weave' or 'the Talent' that will give them all the knowledge of Age of Legends Aes Sedai.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

The Song--how it worked and why it was lost--OGIERS ARE NOT ARTIFICIAL

There is a song, and maybe Rand will return it to them.

I don't feel like going into the Song nonsense again. As for the Tinkers/Jenn...

They DID fail the Aes Sedai; at least in their own eyes.

I thought RJ said something about the Ogier being from another planet?

The song was "Hey Soul Sister" by Train. It was lost when the last ter'angreal Ipod broke.

If it weren't a Seed Song, why're the Nym needed? if not needed why did they forget how to sing?

From where did you get the idea that Nym were needed?

I got the part about the Nym from a sub thread in this post. One you commented on. Keep up man.

The Voice is a talent like travelling for Aes Sedai. The capitalized Sing is for Aiel.
