Songs with cool stories behind them

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

It's about a guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning. But didn't. Phil saw the whole thing and at a show he found him.

Another: "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes (Clapton)

Eric Clapton wrote this song about George Harrison's then-wife. He had fallen madly in love with his good buddy's girl. The song "worked", and Clapton subsequently had the sexytime with his friends wife.

Years later the two remained friends, even despite the fact that Clapton had stolen his girl briefly.

Yea. That's a good one. Although her name was Patty I think. Probably hard to write a good song using the name Patty though.

Another Clapton one is "Tears in Heaven" about his son that fell out of the window.

Ok seriously, just posting song names without stories is retarded.

Also, Shine on You Crazy Diamond. A tribute to Syd Barrett. He actually made an unannounced appearance at Abbey Road when they were recording the song, kind of wild really to be there for that particular recording. Supposedly the band didn't even recognize him, overweight and having shaved all his hair and eyebrows. When they realized who it was Roger Waters started to cry.
