Write a story!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I want to see how creative you guys can get. So here's a little activity I thought of. The goal is to write a story using... songs!

Take any amount of songs from anywhere (preferably rock) form any artists, from any album and put them together, in order of  how you want your story to go. It could be a literal paragraph just from the titles of songs put in a certain order, or the lyrical theme of each individual song leading into the next one. I'll start with an example:

(Note: This isn't meant to be a "soundtrack" to an event, but more of a "custom concept album")

This one tells the story of a relationship between a boy and a girl, from falling in love, to hating each other.

All My Love - Led Zeppelin
And You and I - Yes
Is It Really Happening - Transatlantic
Oh! Darling - The Beatles
Your Time is Gonna Come - Led Zeppelin
Vera - Pink Floyd

Just an idea I had, thought it would be fun, but it could also be extremely silly and not well-thought-out. Anyway! on with it!

	I've made a thread like this before, except it was with entire albums that were not concept albums.
