What is your favourite story-telling songs?

[Aladin]

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

[Heinz]

The Coup - Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night


Scarface - I Seen a Man Die


Ween - Buenos Tardes Amigo


Jacques Brel - Dans le Port d Amsterdam

The Coup - Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night


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.

Bushwick Bill "Ever So Clear"
