Dusty recorded a number of what I like to call Story Songs..

Sandra, In The Winter and Hollywood Movie Girls are the standout story tracks for me...I mean I visualise the happenings in these songs when I listen to Dusty sing them...

I hope you 'get' my meaning..and I wonder if you can think of any more...

I so know what you mean about Sandra and In The Winter.... when I hear Sandra, I can imagine her standing at the window in my kitchen doing the dishes - at that part of the song.

I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore
I think all the songs have a story, but these have more of a storyline than others..

I don't want to hear it...is a GOOD one.. You can imagine this person listening to the 'neighbours talkin' bout you and me.'..

..and Yes Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa is a story song for sure...I always imagine the person dancing with a stranger he/she just met on a seedy Motel dancefloor.

I'll let Janie tell you what she imagines with her suggestion!

Trek...What are you doing the rest of your life'...No! I'm not asking YOU!..
.
.I'm wonderin' what pics that song conjurs up for you.

Hmmm... this thread has a touch of deja vu about it...

In The Land Of Make Believe... a nice breeze on a sultry,Indian Summer day... two lovers dressed in cool,white linen...laughing,cuddling,giggling.... chasing each other around the house... pillow fights and delicate tiny feathers trickling down... all in slow motion... aahh.

I always think of 'In The Land Of Make Believe' as a sad song...
(yep, deja vu!)

North and South, East and West --holidays!
Seriously it makes me think of someone reflecting upon what they have done in their life and what they intend to do with all aspects of it in the future--and whom they are going to spend the rest of this life with.

And you think I'd 'publish' it on a public forum? Crazy woman
