I need a song that tells a story for my drama class and I was thinking of using the song Stole by Kelly Rowland but I want to see if they are better songs. Suggestions are much appreciated.

a lot of bright eyes songs tell a story. dunno if that's your thing.

R. Kelly's "Trapped In The Closet" has 12 parts to it O_O lol. It's an interesting story ._.

eminem - when i'm gone, i think. read the lyrics. i'm not sure if this is accurate, but it's something about how his leaving hailie (his daughter) causes her a lot of pain when her mother (ex-wife??) is missing in her life. at the end he gets back with his wife. i don't like rap that much but this song is pretty emotional and likeable.

All of them are kidna sad.

Lost Boyz - Renee
About how his girlfriend dies

Outkast ft. Slick Rick - Da Art Of Storytellin'
About this girl who...well, sticks a needle in her arm and overdoses.

Unknown Prophets - Wrong Route

Immortal Technique - Peruvian Cocaine

Hmm, most songs tell stories don't you think? Either about how they love someone, or how they hate someone. =P

Well, the first song that came to my head was:
