Story Songs (the Second)

It's not often to fall in love with a song on the first go-round, but sometimes it happens. Along comes a song that engulfs you so completely that you want to close your eyes to watch it play out in your mind. That song makes you sigh deeply when it's over and nearly makes you hit the pause button to savor the lingering sentiments. But the show must go on, right?

A song came on Pandora today that literally made me run a little late today as I took some time to try to find it online. But oh, it was fantastic. And oh-so-hard to track down. But here it is, Stewboss's "Midnight Shift." [I know, I thought the band name was interesting myself.]

That made me think of some of my other favorite story songs. I already mentioned Amos Lee, but there's also songs like the good ol' "She's in Love with the Boy" -- who doesn't love some classic Faith Hill now and then?! Oh, and the Judds. There are tons more that have been popping in my head throughout the day, but there was one more that has really been stuck in my head all day...and I'll leave this topic there for now.
