Every songwriter approaches his or her craft differently, and there are, ostensibly, as many ways to write a song as there are songs in existence.
But one word you'll often hear songwriters use is "story," which implies a plot, characters, a conflict and perhaps a resolution. Just as one can write a novel with these literary tools, one can also condense it down into a song.
Sometimes, it's based on real-life events, with real people and real outcomes. Other times it's entirely imaginary, culled from the minds of some exceptionally creative people. In either case, it can be fun to follow the narrator as they recount a tale, like in the 50 Story Songs listed.
