Slightly shorter option, Paul Kantner Have You Seen The Stars Tonight from the Blows Against the Empire Album which is a great big story in itself. I suppose all concept albums are

My #ListeningClub after-party pick I really wanted to include in the #StoryTimeVortex
Is “Caleb Meyer” by #GillianWelch for all the thousands of “Pretty Pollys” who deserved better

from the album Hell Among The Yearlings
@AqiDrago oh yeah, great choice, and not quite so long so would've probably fitted in well.
Another one I considered was Dire Straits Telegraph Road. I always laugh at the live version of this - very delicate, very quiet music being cheered along to by basically a massive drunk pub crowd

@ThatNewSound good choice, like this one.
My immediate thought for the #StoryTimeVortex was Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden, but a) it's over 13 minutes long and b) I had problems finding it as an MP3 for sale. Resolved to buy the CD of the album it's off but ran out of time to find it in a local record shop.
Anyway here's the live version in case you have time to waste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb30ZMeNh8I
