Members A Happy Crowd Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nick Cave certainly deserves some recognition in this thread. I've recently started getting into him and sort of regret not having done so sooner. He's got a lot of storytelling songs to choose from, but I'm going to pick The Mercy Seat. It may not be as directly narrative as some of his other songs, but its lyrics absolutely floored me. And it tells a story. Link to lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader of the Band and Same Old Lang Syne are two of the best story songs ever. And you know you're going to listen to at least one of those songs next week ...
