Songs that tell a story without saying a word.

William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix).

If you are feeling especially creative feel free to give your interpretation....

I think songs that remind you of things are more likely to be story tunes.

I totally agree with WO, my fav song eva, other songs i think are:

Solar Stone - "Solarcoaster"
Solar Stone - "Seven Cities"
Body-Shock - "Rain in the city"
Rank 1 feat. Shanokee - "Such is life" (Without the vocals it's very meaningful aka Many miles too soon)
there are a lot of others that tell a story, these are off the top of my head.

Pat Foosheen -The Unthinkable (Habershams & Mah Sivee Mix)
Ulrich Schnauss - Nobody's Home
Derek Howell - We're Gonna Be Okay

Instrumental storytellers on my mind right now:

Solid Globe "Sahara"
Mono "Rise"
Accadia "Into The Dawn"
Veracocha "Carte Blanche"
Snagglepulse "Cartoon World"
Gouryella "Ligaya" (Ferry Corsten remix)
Kay Cee "Escape"

I totally agree, although in this instance I was trying to be a little more specific.

Capetown - Pitstop

I believe I read somewhere that this tracj tells the story of going to a club, getting drunk, and coming home and watching tv or something like that.

All Planisphere tunes.

Posted by 303 on Dec-13-2004 08:57:

seven cities comes in mind, but its just one of them, also i think once youve had an experience connected to a certain tune its easier to see the story within.

I don't get what you mean, but if your talking about the True Romance sample then it wsan't this that, to me, told the story, it was the melody.

I wish L-Vee was creating more tracks like the old planishere tracks.

Oh and that reminds me:

MERIDIAN - "STARVING DOLPHINS"

I really can't think of a really specific answer for this. That's not to say that I don't have visions of what the tune is conveying, but I've never really thought of some coherent story. All good trance is evocative to me - it's about me, my feeling - not somebody else's. This is probably exactly what I love about trance - it's absolutely open to interperetation. It's not about 'telling a story' which means it's not about getting on a microphone and whining about your relationship issues. It's all about pure feeling - I feel as though a main point of Trance is the dissolution of thought - all that remains is an amorphous interperetation, different from all people, yet alienating none with sticky concepts such as plotline.

Leave your story-telling to the folk-singers!
