The Beatles had many songs that had a story in them. For instance Rocky Raccoon, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, and Maxwell's Silver Hammer are some.

What are your favorites or ones you thought were just weird?

Would Paperback Writer and A Day In The Life be considered story songs? If so, I like them!

ok maybe EVERY song is a story song.
I meant a song that doesn't describe someone but has a story...you know?

Eleanor Rigby I wouldn't think so much of one, Nowhere Man either.

The reason why I thought of Eleanor Rigby is because for me that song is very vivid in telling the story of her and also of Father McKenzie.  Now that I think of it Eleanor Rigby and Nowhere Man kind of have the same message!

I sometimes wonder if homeless people feel that way.  I often see people walk by them and completely ignore them as if they were not there.

well think about how when you go out to like a mall and you see people. you never knew that they existed until you saw them. You don't know that half the world exists but you know there are billions of people who live on in this world.

Yea thats true.  I am the type of person that when I pass someone on the street, I say hello to them.  Or I at least smile.
