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.

Denver’s version of ‘Darcy Farrow’, written I think by John Prince, is another beautiful ballad that tells a very tragic story.

“Big Iron’’ by Marty Robbins as covered by Bob Weir.

Nobody covers Marty Robbins better then Weir.

I like the ones that end “in a cottage filled with laughter.”

But I do LOVE a good ballad. I’ll check it out.

Nice picks! South Side of the Sky is my favorite Yes song. Only saw it live once...as a tour-ending encore while backup band Gryphon came onstage one by one to jam along. (1974? One month tour to intro Relayer and Patrick Moraz, saw first and last shows)

Indeed. I’m surprised more folks don’t know it. Shame really.

Cheers!

Wreck of the Edmund Fitgerald

And a local classic from Chicago - The Lincoln Park Cowboy, by Johnny and the Leisure Suits

Trying to pick one is too much work

Then “Blow up your TV” would be a good song. :-)
