Storytelling is one of my favorite things in music, as a musical theatre lover. But I've always been someone who favors the meaningful lyrics and emotions over the sound- even though both do matter at the end of the day to me. One of my favorite songs is definitely written with the story at its core. I love it for the lyrics, emotional arc, and the plot progression. Being written by a theatre kid means the storytelling is inherently great!
