How does Oogruk explain finding one's song?

Oogruk explains to Russel that each person has his or her own song. Songs are not something that people just get out of thin air. Oogruk is sad that the new ways do not make room for songs. Russel tells Oogruk that he will become his own song. Oogruk promises to teach Russel the old ways and after their bellies are full and they are warm, Russel falls into a trance and Oogruk begins to talk.
