For our final group essay the musical element we decided to focus on was Lyrical Storytelling. In our eyes Lyrical Storytelling is the way of which a song not just the lyrics or the music itself, but a combination of both create a story, the way the tune and the lyrics come together to express what the musician is trying to get across or rather "tell". A song is more than just music being played, a song can tell a story whether it be fact or fiction, a song tells a story. One example in our playlist was "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, of which Phil tells a story in his song describing a man who is searching and finds the man who let his friend die, as the song progresses Phil vividly describes this story through his music, the mood and emotion changes throughout the song which helps to show the story is progressing and helps us process how we feel the lyrics mean. Not only do listeners hear the music, but we feel the music and the emotions in the music, this is what truly defines "Lyrical Storytelling".
