HEY EVERYONE!
Can people tell me where to look to get songs (preferably in English, because that's the only other language I understand to any extent, durhurr) that tell actual outright stories--preferably for the darker/creepier sort; songs that talk about abandoned places where odd things happen and crazy people doing tragic things and "here's this story I once heard" that--isn't folk music*? It must exist somewhere, but I am looking in all the wrong places, possibly!
* As per examples--this is because of stupid singing robots, okay. :( My favorite composer is proooobably mothy/AkuNo-P, who did things like Daughter of Evil/Servant of Evil, where a tyrannical princess is overthrown and her twin brother/servant's reaction, or moonlit bear, where the singer brings home some fruit that isn't quite what it seems, or The Tailoring Shop of Enbizaka where it is a TRAGIC LOVE STORY. ... REALLY.
Or things like Dark Woods Circus, or Human Sacrifice Alice, which I have gone on about before! THINGS LIKE THAT, which have a definite plot and story behind them, but are not necessarily folk-ish in their musical style. Because I love folk music like a lot, I grew up on it where everyone else in my generation seems to have been listening to the halcyon days of rock'n'roll, but I would like more if I could find it. :|a
REC ME. :(
