Do you have evidence to support the claim that all people of all cultures in all times "don't sing" in solitude?I understand that it is less common to sing when being alone than when being with other people. Many parents sing for their kids but not when being alone. Monks sing in the church but not when being alone in their cells. People who sing work songs never do it alone in most cases. Why is it that singing when being alone is not that common? Is singing really only a social thing? — musicpianoaccordion
Same here. Even when I'm not alone, I sometimes start singing to myself at a low volume. It annoys my wife.I've almost always got music playing in my mind, and if I'm in a good mood and by myself and not doing anything else linguistic (which, these days, is a rare confluence of conditions, limited only to solitary hikes on particularly good days) I love to sing by myself. — Pfhorrest
