Story

I love story songs! I really do, though I hardly ever hear them anymore! What I’m talking about are songs that actually follow a storyline, so examples of this are Bob Dylans “Rosmary and the Jack of Hearts”, Rolf Haris’s “Two Little Boys”, and weirdly “Could well be in” by The Streets. They actually follow some kind of action based plot. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it doesn’t have to be long and involved, but I really appretiate it. There’s nothing wrong with not having one, so many of my favourite songs are really just pure expression with no tangibility. I think I work in images better than thought though – do you know what I mean? I remember a story much better than a random line.

So there you go, if you ever need to compare Bob Dylan to The Streets and say they are similar, thats how… they are both story tellers!
