Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men is, lyrically, a conversation between two people.
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - George Thorogood is like a dude telling a story, with a bit of song in between the story.
Same with Alice's Restaurant Massacree by Arlo Guthrie, but a funnier and longer story.
I know a lot of love songs that sound like they are someone talking to a person, which is what I thought of seeing Jolene in your list. I don't think what you're after is a specific genre though, and given the examples I could probably just list every single song I have favorited on Spotify that isn't purely instrumental.
I loved your suggestions, thanks a lot
Little Talks was cute, it reminds me of Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches but with more energy
George Thorogood's song is not the kind of music I usually listen to, but damn is he engaging and jivey
I think Alice's Restaurant is my fav from your suggestions, but lol it's almost an audiobook with it's length
Love songs seem to be the most common in this style - I also have a large number of such songs in my library. I prolly should've asked for non-love songs specifically tbh, but the current suggestions are pretty great so can't complain.
