svalis47 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Has anyone else noticed songs that are written as stories? I love those kind of songs. The Beatles did a few songs like this. A good example of a song written like a story is Rocky Raccoon. What do you think about these kinds of songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquerade Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Try 20+ minute long prog suites ("A Change Of Seasons," "Supper's Ready," "Close To The Edge"). They get that storytelling job done nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crkavam Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Storytelling in music is old as poetry itself. Almost every song is about telling some story or making a statement about some subject. My personal favorite would be duology Epica/Black Halo form Kamelot.

bentheguitarman Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Lumineers latest songs (Angela, Ophelia, Sleep on the floor) music videos and lyrics are all connected to tell one story, check it out on youtube, the comments explain it best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 An album that is like a story is Pink Floyd's - The Final Cut , for those who like that kind of music . The subject is not that commercial as it consists of war and alienation , but has Brilliant lyrics and compositions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
