This Song definitely Tells a Story .....Who does not Love a Great Pair...You need them for Dancing

18 a song that tells a story

The Story Brandi Carlisle

So very relatable! The set up of the opening verse just sets the tone

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

Day 18: A song that tells a story

So many choices, so many good songs that are serious and moving. Yet, I went here because it’s immature and funny and always makes me laugh and I need more of that today.

 

[AngelicaS1780]

Angelica! You have incredible taste. I’m always on the lookout for your shares. Both fabulous songs. Royals is somewhat of a theme song for me and Into the Mystic it just such a beautiful one. Crushed it again

Awww. Thank you so much. I've enjoyed your shares as well. And the thread is so much fun.

Day 17: A song you’d choose for karaoke

Eurythmics - Missionary Man

Day 18: A song that tells a story

You beat me to it.

Steve Earle - The Galway Girl

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

A song that tells a story

I thought about going with"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" but that one was a bit obvious.

Fans of "The Walking Dead" show will recognize the opening.

Iron Maiden "Where the Wild Wind Blows"

Steve Earle - Galway Girl

I had to include a second video option. The lyrics are harder to understand here, but there's such joy in everyone's faces that it always makes me smile to watch it.

Welcome to the revolution!

Welcome to the revolution!

I didn't pick two different songs. I did post two videos for the one song because my favorite video (2nd one) doesn't have the best sound quality. I will edit my post to remove the first video and include the lyrics instead.

Does that mean you are defecting? Are you going to fall in line with Hope Haddon?

Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a perfect choice.....

Nice Sex Education reference. I don't see @morelikeasong as being like a repressive headmistress. NMK.

The both had a lot of rules and very little flexibility.

 

[Baseballcoach43]

The whole story told BEFORE the song which tells a different story about the same gentleman. And… you get to see the singer

Thanks for posting this! I've heard the song forever ago, but never knew the story behind it.

 

[onanismaddict]

Yeah I knew what song I wanted straight away too which makes a change. I usually spend an hour or two pondering the right one.
I love Nick. He can go from ultra violence to the most tender and beautiful music and it's all so thoughtful and clever

What a perfect description of what makes Nick Cave so amazing! Very well said.
I 'originally' found him through my devotion to the incredible PJ Harvey... but I have been a Nick fan ever since. Great song choice!

16) a song that makes you want to go on an adventure:
A Whole New World - Aladdin & Jasmine
Yup...it's true, I'm a Disney dork and IDGAF who knows it

17) a song you'd choose for karaoke:
You Were Meant For Me - Jewel
No backing track, still getting over that cold and may be incubating COVID-19, please be nice LOL

18) a song that tells a story
Tribute - Tenacious D

Every one of your song choices was inspired, and seeing them all laid out back-to-back was fantastic.
But I especially enjoyed your own musical contribution! (I really liked that one... damn.) So cool. Thank you!

[Mr_bogey]

I feel like Day 18 could be a month on it's own. So many great ones posted and countless more still out there.
