Yep, you've definitely got to have the story first, no doubt about it. I'm working on a new album right now and it's going to have some cool instrumentation, but without the songs it won't work. I'll need to be able to strip back all the synth, horns, strings etc and play the song on a piano or guitar and still think to myself, "yep, this is a good song," or it just doesn't work. I suppose films are the same way, with the "story" being the song. All the rest is window dressing.
