For me it is like reading a book. You get 2 imagine the story on the basis of words.
That is why book adaptations often disappoint.

Few personal favourites.

West - Paris - AWOL

South - SPM - Jackers in my home

East - NAS - Rewind

Scarface - I Seen a Man Die

Ween - Buenos Tardes Amigo

Jacques Brel - Dans le Port d Amsterdam

The first two I knew. Scarface songs always are about life and death, most time very deep and thoughtful.
Thanks for the other two.

You are welcome Aladin.
Speaking of Scarface, my cousin Rickshaw also made a classic storytelling song based on how he lost his eye:

Bushwick Bill "Ever So Clear"

And the classic vietnam story by Mr.Withers:

Bill Withers - I Can't Write Left Handed
