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.
Ok, I can see that the ultimate goal of the Tuatha'an is sort of blind (that's what it's for? Paradise?). Obviously, if there were a Song for that, the DO would be in a tough spot.
Still, in Rand's flashback to the Seed-Singing, there's talk of folks having the Voice or not. I always assumed that tied right back into LTT's comment to Ishy. I figured it was having the Voice for singing that Song.
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.
