What is your favorite song that actually tells a story?

Posted on 04/22/2022 3:56:36 PM PDT by Beowulf9

I admit I saw this elsewhere but I thought it might be a good thing to put here because honestly I look and listen to songs people post. I am always entertained and it opens my mind to many different avenues of musical tastes I have not known before. I hope ones like this column.

"Roads to Moscow" by Al Stewart. Yeah, that's Brian May on guitar and vocals.

Love that song, but everyone keeps trying to figure out what McClean was talking about.

A dark story by The Doors, “The End”

I interpret "The End" as being about the coup d'etat in South Vietnam in 1963 in which President Ngo Dinh Diem was overthrown and killed.
