April 17, 20241 yr Author April 18th – A song you like that tells a story challenged by Herbs Once upon a time, there was Herbs, and he grew up to be a real boy who decided to challenge us one day to a storytelling objective! :P For those who like songs that are meaningful, with character plots and themes to the lyrics, this challenge is for you. Many songs tell a narrative of events through the lyrics, and it’s all about finding one today that you enjoy as much as picking up a book and reading all about the events as they unfold. :magic: ABBA – When All Is Said And Done {nominated by Yobnedor} Bobbie Gentry – Ode To Billie Joe {nominated by Jade} Carrie Underwood – Jesus, Take The Wheel {nominated by Cowboy Cody} Damien Rice – Amie {nominated by Herbs} Dani Sylvia – She Swam Higher {nominated by Roba.} Eagles – Hotel California {nominated by Mack.} Electric Light Orchestra – The Diary Of Horace Wimp {nominated by King Rollo} Eminem feat.

April 17, 20241 yr Author April 18th – A song you like that tells a story [Challenged by Herbs] Surely one of the best storytelling pieces in music history, the story of an obsessive fan who writes repeated letters to her hero, Slim Shady, talking about various occasions when he tried to get his attention.
