    In 19th place we have a song which sadly suffers from the fact that a friend of mine learned to play it on guitar and hasn't STFU with it since. I'm sad to say that I've heard this one butchered by a load of drunk people at one too many house parties for it to have stood any chance...



    So, the very first point of the game goes to:

    Damn it...I meant to include this in my opening post. Not everyone wanted their stories shared so I thought it might be fun if the person who posted it wanted to share if they felt like it - make it a bit more interactive?

    I don’t think I understood the concept of this question :o

    Was it not that the song told a story?

    This next song, while new to me, just didn't do it for me. I really like her voice but I didn't love the lyrics at all and despite listening to it a lot, it never grew on me.

    You did. And it did. Unfortunately my mate has killed this song dead for me. You're a victim of circumstance here. :o

    That Fray song is odd, after all these years I still don't know if I love it or hate it!

    It's the lead singer dude, his warbling can get a bit annoying in other songs but for me it just works in that one

    How long will the reveal go on actually if we’re going through every song(not that I’m complaining)? Just curious :)

    This was a song I know but am not hugely familiar with. I liked it. It's not a bad song but I feel like I've heard the story told in a better way - which I hope makes sense. This was a seperated from the next couple of songs by a fairly thin margin. In the end it went on gut feel.

    Always get that frays song confused with Hey There Delilah, not sure why as they probably sound nothing alike. I think they may have been out around the same time or something like that.

    Next up was another song I know. My friend and his kid adore this band so I'm familiar with a fair bit of their stuff. I like this song well enough but this one fell down the rankings a bit as I wasn't 100% clear on the story from the song.
