Many of Led Zep's songs are balladlike.
The battle of evermore. Stairway to Heaven. Johny Cash "Ira Hayes." A Boy Named Sue. Ballads can make for great songs. It seems as if we no longer have ballad writers any more.

Marginally. It has a character (two), it moves (together to beign apart) But the plot is perhaps too thin.

without googling, do you recall the artist and what he is more famous for now?

Another Beatles story song I love is The Ballad of John and Yoko, which, as the title indicates, tells the story of the courtship and marriage of John and The Destroyer.

I am pretty confident that you could pull that one off as well as Paul McCartney.
