The best songs are those that tell a story. One of the reasons people love Michael His Jackson’s “Billie Jean”, a distinctive rap with a lot of storytelling Nas with his style is one of the most acclaimed rappers he It’s also one of the reasons.

It’s one of the reasons Taylor Swift has such a wide fan base. And before these artists, other artists were telling perfect stories through their songs. Here we examine some of them.

1. The Wreckage of Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot

Written to commemorate the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald freighter on Lake Superior, this song was inspired by real events. Writer and singer Lightfoot considers this work to be his magnum opus.

2. Billy Joel’s “Piano Man”

“There’s an old man sitting next to me/I love his tonic and gin.” “Piano Man” is a song to forget about life for a while. A song for the heartbroken and dreamer in the mood for a melody.

3. Eminem’s “Stan”

This is something I didn’t expect to see on the list. But most of all, Eminem is a great storyteller. I was just starting to rap, but his music always stood out because, unlike other rap songs, there was always a grounded story.

“Stan” tells the story of an obsessed fan who considers extreme measures when Eminem doesn’t reply to his letters.

4. “Big Iron” by Marty Robbins

“Big Iron” tells the story of an outlaw named Texas Red and a ranger “with a big iron on his hip” who tries to kill him. For many men before the Rangers tried and failed, Texas Red was not afraid. But one fatal mistake was his undoing. When I listen to the song, I can see all the scenes unfolding in my head.

5. “Cat in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin

Every man wants his son to look up to him. But even knowing how big a role they play in their children’s lives, some people just don’t have time to spend with their families. This song is a hymn to an absent father.

6. “It Was A Good Day” by Ice Cube

The song was Ice Cube’s highest-charting single on the charts and was included in Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time. The song represents a typical day in the rapper’s life.

7. “Tribute” by Tenacious D

We all know this is not the best song in the world. This is just a compliment. Many movies depict encounters between humans and demons. Still, only a handful have done it as skillfully as the rock band on this hilarious record.

8. “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” by Jim Croce

“You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” is Croce’s debut single. The story song revolves around a notorious pool hustler and his gang who regularly gather at the pool.

9. “Jolene” by Dolly Parton

We all know the story of the snatcher “Jolene”. Dolly Parton’s hit single, “Jolene,” tells the bombshell story of her lover falling in love. Also, it was inspired by a true story.

10. The Mariner’s Revenge Song by The Decemberists

The song is about two sailors who survived a huge attack. One tells the story of how he met the others and how his widowed mother took him in and cared for him, but he ended up becoming a misfit. rice field.

11. “The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers

Don Schlitz originally wrote “The Gambler”, but it was recorded by many artists, including Kenny Rogers. The song describes the protagonist’s encounter with a gambler who offers him advice in exchange for whiskey.

12. “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman

Tracy Chapman’s hit single was the lead single from her self-titled album. This is a story about a couple’s life challenges and how she hopes to escape them all.

13. Lullaby by The Cure

The song is the band’s highest charting single. As a child, my uncle, who told the songwriter scary stories about the carnivorous Spider-Man, inspired me. Fear and helplessness fuel creativity in this track.

14. Bob Dylan’s “Hurricane”

“Hurricane” is based on the true story of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a middleweight boxer who tried to appear in court after being falsely accused of a crime. The last time Dylan performed the song live was on tour in 1976.

15. Rupert Holmes’ Pina Colada Song “Escape”

“This is the story of a man who is bored with his wife because their relationship has become boring. Did. life, he responds to it,” one fan shared.

“They plan a runaway and reunite. He realizes it was his wife who created the ad from the beginning. They both want to make their relationship more exciting.” and shared a common interest, but neither of them knew it.

16. “American Pie” by Don McLean

Filled with many pop culture references, McLean’s “American Pie” song explores the evolution of the rock and roll genre. It references rock and roll icons such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Janis Joplin.

17. Immortal Technique – Dance With The Devil

Some of the most beautiful storytelling exists in rap. For example, this song, which is rumored to be based on a true story, about a teenager who joins a gang to gain street cred and build a reputation, falls into a dark pit of terrible decisions. .

18. “Hotel California” by the Eagles

According to the band, “The real meaning behind ‘Hotel California’ is a commentary on American hedonism and selfishness. ”

One of the most beautiful things about this iconic song is that people have interpreted it in different ways, each perfecting it.

19. Reba McEntire, “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia”

The ballad is about a man who learns from a friend that his wife is cheating on him, and he admits that he “was with her once.” I know, a double punch in the gut.

20. “Jeremy” by Pearl Jam

“Jeremy” is based on different stories. Reed’s vocalist’s terrible childhood and the tragic story of a boy from Texas who lost his life in front of his classmates inspired the song.

21. “Italian Restaurant Scene” by Billy Joel

“Italian Restaurant Scene” tells the story of two people’s journeys in love, marriage, and divorce. An actual restaurant in New York served as inspiration.

22. “The Last Great American Dynasty” by Taylor Swift

As Swiftie explains, “Taylor Swift’s ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ beautifully tells the story of a woman named Rebekah who owned a home in Rhode Island before she bought it.”

23. Gladys Knight & The Pips “Midnight Train To Georgia”

Sometimes dreams don’t come true. The Grammy Award-winning song is about a man who gives up his dreams of Hollywood stardom and tries to return to “the life he once knew” in Georgia, and a lover who vows to follow him.

24. “Don’t Take the Girl” by Tim McGraw

It’s a heartbreaking tale of a man’s relationship with a woman at different stages of life. Finally, he makes a final request to God to hold his breath and end his life – anything but a girl.

25. “Deconstruction” by the Devin Townsend Project

One contributor shares that the song is about a man who dies and goes to hell and is given a chance to learn the secrets of the universe when he eats a cheeseburger. The man is a vegetarian. Decide, decide.
