I think we do play in the same game. A story made with words is basically creating a timeline of pictures by describing what happened in words (the meaning doesn't create a story, it helps to understand, at its best). A musical story can create a timeline of feelings, which I would call a story as well. It could also create pictures by association which tells a story. This story might be very different between listeners, and might also be different for the musician. It seems a story made out of words is fixed and everybody perceives the same story, but that is a complete illusion if you think about it... Simply listen to the classics of musical story telling like Smetanas Vltava... I think its pretty evidently story telling...
