Was listening to "Fairytale of New York", in the wifes car as she has her Christmas Spotify on, one of the least risible of the Christmas Songs, I listened to it properly and it really does tell a story, I woke up early and was pondering it, no options as it was stuck in my head and thought that a trick has been missed there unless I have missed something but that really could be a basis for a film.

Ok it could be a bit romcom but done well that could be brilliant, or is is best left alone ?


What other songs are like that ?

How to really confuse mods, leave it in the lounge, is it TV Film and Radio or is it music...

And no, not been drinking yet today.

One of my fave albums is "Black Love" by the Afghan Whigs (1996) - from start to finish it always felt like a soundtrack to a gritty violent film noir, right from the first track "Crime Scene - Part 1":
"As I dream, all the evidence, Is piling up against me
As I breathe all the essence rare, Is falling off the vine
And if you knew, just how smooth, I could stop it on a dime
You could meet me at the, scene... of the crime"

Just been doing some reading up about it and funnily enough it was inspired by the lead singers idea to make a film (which never happened).

Mark Knopfler, 5:15am

Its a story within a story from start to finish and is fantastic.

Would be perfect for a film as its already well fleshed out and deals with historical events.

Its a shame no one ever made a musical of Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds.
Obviously now not possible with the loss of Richard Burton and Phil Lynott.

Dire Straits - On every street

Always felt there was a good story in that song, something along the lines of a detective nearing retirement with that one unfinished case he can't let go of.

You should take a look at the video! Not at work though! Unless you work for Paul Raymond.
