I think every good song tells a story, as ambiguous and vague as it may be. And if you know what a song is talking about, it can only help your performance.

The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story.
When people tell really good stories in songs, I really like it.
Not only is your story worth telling, but it can be told in words so painstakingly eloquent that it becomes a song.
I'll take a certain concern of my own or a situation and try to frame it around a fictional story, but sometimes just straight-up autobiographical songs work well, and sometimes a story is better. I like stories. I like to hear them. I don't think there are enough of them in songs anymore.
I tend to write songs that are about something pretty specific. A lot of them tell some kind of little made-up story.
I try to tell a story musically in a song.
When you write a song, the goal is not to convey the details of your life. You should write a memoir or something if that's what you're going to do.
If you're dealing with a musical in which you're trying to tell a story, it's got to sound like speech. At the same time it's got to be a song.
Music is a lens through which to see who we are. Every phrase of every piece of music is trying to tell a story.
The easiest songs to write are pure fiction. There is no limit to how you can tell the story. I find it difficult when I'm replaying an event through a song.
