Day 1 of songs telling stories. One of the best storytellers.... Neil Hannon. I was just looking for a version to share. I found this live version. Lovely reading the comments about how this moves people, just like it moved me. youtu.be/ezQeJJvx_Vs?...

Okay I'm going to try and complete a task. Though it's utterly pointless of course. For the next 7 days I'll post 7 songs, that are narrative driven. I.e. they tell a story. I will try and make sure they are different types of story.

Silent All these Years by Tori Amos. A musical and lyrical masterpiece. The lyrics paint such a full picture

Going to listen to all The Blue Nile's albums today. I am only really familiar with Hats, in depth. Of course I also know and love Tinseltown in the Rain, from the first album. So let's start...
