Story time, y'all! Our theme this week is storytelling and there are many ways to take this one. There are songs that tell amazing stories, but also songs with amazing stories behind them (think about the behind-the-scenes making of a song...) — both are welcome in this thread. And why stop there? If you'd like to highlight a specific artist/album/music video that is particularly good at storytelling — go for it! Beyond the art itself, we also have our own personal stories that are tied to music... what song were you listening to when you had your first kiss? What reminds you of your teenage years? What was your first concert? I'd love to hear any stories you have that are tied to music. And yet another angle, there's a whole cottage industry of podcasters out there covering music history — digging into the stories and lore of our musical heroes. Wanna talk about those stories and/or link me to your sources? Let's do it! Whatever goes, I'm an open book. 📖
How we do
In this weekly series, folks can chime in and drop links to whatever it is they've been listening to recently + browse others' suggestions. You can follow the suggested genre if you'd like, but don't feel confined to it; you're free to suggest whatever you wanna. 🙌
If you're interested in having other discussions about music, consider following the aptly named #music discussions organization.
Siked to hear how y'all interpret this one! 😀
Note: you can embed a link to your song using the following syntax {% embed https://... %}. This should work for most common platforms!
Looking forward to listening to y'all's suggestions! 🎶

This is literally called "story" xD. It's pretty intense.
Also, there might be a tiny bit of profanity. I haven't listened to this song in a while, so I forget. Hopefully that's ok.
