Off the top of my head mate..
1. Eminem - How to Love
Story of a bullied school kid, from a broken home. eventually has the courage to fight back and stand up to them, who then leave him alone.
May be a bit hardcore thought.
2. Tracey Chapman - Behind the wall
Harrowing in it's live accapella version. About domestic abuse as witnessed by a neighbour.
3. Rod Stewart - Here to Eternity
Beautiful song, for those who know it, already know the story on this one. No video again I'm afraid.
4. Richard Marx - Hazard
Fascinating song and video. I don't think he killed her by way.
5. Xzibit - Thank You (Live On Letterman version)
A RAP song, which doesn't feature one swear word, is done live, with a full brass orchestra behind him. Brilliant story about cashing in and taking advantage of when you're on top, to provide for your family against the struggles you experienced.
6. Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue
Fucking no commentary needed on that one. I SAID HOW DO YOU DO!
7. Eminem - Stan
Another rap, although this features an interesting story of an obsessed fan, who ultimately takes his life, along with his partner and unborn child. By the time the "last letter" that is sent to Eminem is read out during the song, it's already happened, and he's actually reading his suicide note..
8. Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen
No words needed, but a great story of a love triangle, between lovers, killers...
9. Michael Jackson - Earth Song
Song to bring to light the destruction of humans on this planet, and how much people can make a difference, both in a positive and negative.
10. Macklemore - Wings
Song about life and materialistic things, that you have, or don't have and what it really means.
11. The Script - I'm Yours
A man who feels lesser when compared to his ultimate love, but always offers the support that he belongs to his partner, and that he is their all, in what ever capacity he is viewed in.
