Sorry if I couldn't explain myself clearly.
Oddly that's how I felt listening to Because We Can at Slane - like it was some weird-religious-conversion-campfire-singalong. It didn't work for me at all.

I think I should clarify - the ones where Jon's forcing the optimism don't work - it needs to come naturally.
