Interview #874: Twitter 2013 (WoT), Entry #28

Jay Fonseca (23 January 2013)

So I always wondered… what ever happened to the Tinkers’ song? Did I miss a resolution to that arc?

Brandon Sanderson (23 January 2013)

By specific instruction from RJ, the Tinkers have not found their song as of the end of A Memory of Light .

Brandon Sanderson

The song of growing is not their “Song.” The Song is a much more deep and philosophical concept, perhaps unattainable.

TJ

Do you imagine that Rand teaches “the song” to the Tu’athan after the events of A Memory of Light ?

Brandon Sanderson

Rand does not know The Song. Anything he’d try to teach them, they would not accept as The Song.

Aaron Oster

Wait, are you saying Rand’s song that Mat recognized wasn’t the Tinkers’ song?

Brandon Sanderson

The Tinker “Song” is an ideal that goes far beyond any song that has actually ever existed.
