Episode 133: Story Songs #3 – The Story’s in The Song

There’s nothing like a good story. A narrative that tells a tale is one of the most effective ways to relate an event, both fact or fiction and also a straightforward way to evoke an underlying message. We have grown up believing that the best stories are found in books. The stories that songs tell can be just as powerful and moving as any book or movie. By listening to them carefully, we make them a part of our life for just a second. The Music Museum presents 18 songs that tell a story in a way that the printed page cannot. ****
