Favorite Story Songs
Have you ever found yourself getting lost in the beauty of what I call a "Story Song"? I'm sure there is a formal name for this type of song - a song that tells a great story about someone getting shot or divorced. Call it what you will, I am in love with them. Furthermore, I find myself delving into artists I normally wouldn't when it comes to story songs.
