Songs That Tell Stories

Hey, guys. I need some help. I need songs that tell stories in them. I listen to any and all genres of music, so post whatever you have.

A Day in The Life - The Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZez_k4vAzU

Maxwells' Silver Hammer - The Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbSCyWotqmY

Ayreon's "the human equation"

Pretty much all Country music tells some kinda story...soulfood4

Deathbed by Relient K tells the story of a Christian as he reflects back on his life on his (you guessed it) deathbed. You can search for the lyrics on http://azlyrics.com. It's an amazing song that shows that Christians don't always have the best of lives, like some people seem to think.

Even if you aren't Christian, you should enjoy it. :)

All along the watchtower - Bob Dylan

Thanks. I love Relient K, and I have this song already, but I really appreciate the fact that you mentioned a song about my religion.

As my thanks, I award you a cookie. (::)

Crossroads - Cream

Oh, and no one has posted any yet, but PLEASE NO DEATH METAL!!! I hate that stuff. I like metal and nu metal, but death/black metal offends my religion. I even have "Kill You" and "Kim" (both horrifically graphic Eminem (my favorite rapper)songs) on my iPod, so I listen to anything but black metal. slimturtle

Not all death metal talks about the anti-christ and such.

The only one I can think of is Rush's Red Barchetta.

EDIT: I take that back, also look at 2112 and Cygnus X-1, both, also, by Rush.

Couldn't it be argued all songs tell stories?Sajo7

Fergie's 'London Bridge' was a story? :o 

CKY's "96 quite bitter beings" is another one i like :D

I'm swimming in cookies now :P

Fergie's 'London Bridge' was a story? :o 

freakyzeeky1986

Yes. It was a sad story of how my faith in humanity died when I heard it.

About London Bridge. :P

There's a lot of older singer/songwriters that have great stories in their songs....

Jim Croce - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, Operator

Simon & Garfunkle - The Boxer, Mrs. Robinson

Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald (based on a true story)

Of course, if you want something a bit more modern, there's always

Eminem - Stan

If you want rap, theres Stan by EminemThe_Moo_Man

Em's my favorite rapper. I love that song.
