Songs that tell stories

I've said before that music is a huge influence when I'm writing. The playlist is a powerful weapon for getting you in the mood for what you're writing. But songs also tell stories that can directly influence - and sometimes create - a story. Here are a few:


Pearl Jam - Betterman


Metallica - One
NB: this song was entirely influenced by Johnny Got His Gun (the movie featured in this video)


The Who - Behind Blue Eyes


Metallica - Low Man's Lyric


Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms


Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues


The Rolling Stones - Angie


Bob Dylan - Going Going Gone


Kim Richey - A Place Called Home


Pearl Jam - Deep


Feel free to share your own story-telling songs in the comments.
