Songs That Tell A Story

Now here is a song that tells the complete story.

 

Good pick Yvonne,I saw the originals singers of that at band 'Swinging Madallians' first time at teen dance at 15 y.o.,. Then again in Myrtle Beach in the 80's Atlanta,Ga.90;s and Jax Fl. They seem to be in every town we went to when we were moving around.

Here is another one more recent .

 

Here is an in-depth story for you all to ponder.

 

Son sings this song you put up.

Here is another one that tells a story,

 

One of my favorite songs or ballards whatever it is,

 

Janice Joplin - Mercedes Benz

[Intro]
I'd like to do a song
Of great social and political import
It goes like this

[Verse 1]
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz

 

I told my son this is my song to him with he was young,

When his ship came back from the Gulf mothers were allowed to dedicate a song for their sons.
I called in and requested this one, to my surprise they played it, son said he knew it was from me first 2 notes when he was coming off the ship. He said he almost felt like taking a bow it was so in time with him leaving the ship.

 

SYNCRONICITY wow. He hasn't called me in 2 weeks so I was upset , he called a minute after I posted this song.

 

Not a fan of Tulls and never understood his songs. So I looked this one up. I have always been nosy why I love studying history I guess.
