I've recently gotten into songs where the entire lyrics are the singer talking to someone. For example,

Sophie by The Altogether - https://youtu.be/k2KRDetyGhs

Dear McCracken by Bug Hunter - https://youtu.be/aWGolv2iqM0

Dance of the Dead by Iron Maiden - https://youtu.be/gG_JLYxbqpQ

Something Stupid - https://youtu.be/0f48fpoSEPU

GMF by John Grant - https://youtu.be/ekFWPsXXcg0

Angel of the Morning - https://youtu.be/K7Qfqle_2Bs

Mariner's Revenge Song by The Decemberists - https://youtu.be/iPAr7kL-mmg

Jolene by Dolly Parton - https://youtu.be/Ixrje2rXLMA

Genre is no bar - I just want the song to feel like a conversation.

Please help me scratch this itch. I know it sounds a bit vague, especially when there's a lot of songs that have some "talking" parts sprinkled in them, but that's not what I want.

If anyone could tell me what genre of music this is, I would appreciate it a lot. I guess a lot of ballads are similar to this style, but I'm not very sure

Edit: Thanks a lot everyone for your suggestions. I'm gonna take my time listening to each of these :)
