I'm sure writing a song is different than writing a longer story because even writing a short story is different than writing a novel. Some people can tell a story in a few words. Others take longer. But generally speaking, the songs I like most have a good story AND good music and I tend to evaluate those separately. I've listened to many a good song that doesn't really stick with me because, while the music is enjoyable, it lacks the depth of story. Or I enjoy a particular voice/talent (Vince Gill for example) but I tire of his constant cheatin' and drinkin' stories. He needs better stories because I swear that woman has left him so many times...
