I'm honestly not sure I understand the question, or that it's specific enough I could offer useful commentary.

Well, start with the characters, who are they?

It's about how to put an original spin on the contents of a song.

That's an incredibly broad topic.

I love a lot of songs from before my time (up to the 80s) and one of my favourite singers is Janis Ian, who wrote the song Miracle Row, which starts:
She tells fortunes, you know,
At a dollar a throw,
Every pimp and every gigolo,
Has made love in the afternoon
To the lady by the windowsill.
While I was listening to it I got an idea to write a story inspired by it, and while I've written a piece inspired by a song before (see The Dutch Harbor Alexa thread) I want to go deeper with this one, which seems to be an observational piece about a neighbourhood that everyone's desperate to get out of ("Yes, they're gonna get out of here soon".) Anyone have tips?
