[2026 Edition] Latest Western Movie Theme and Insert Songs (31–40)
God Only KnowsThe Beach Boys
Have you seen the film “LAMB” yet? This one is a horror movie with fantasy elements.
It portrays a very unique world and carries strong religious messages.
The trailer for the film used “God Only Knows,” a song released in 1966 by the rock band The Beach Boys.
The title means “Only God knows.” It’s as if the song were made specifically for this movie.
I hope you’ll give it another listen after you’ve watched the film.
This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)The Isley Brothers
The film Ticket to Paradise centers on married life.
The song that played over the ending and moved audiences to tears was This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You).
It’s a track by the R&B group The Isley Brothers.
Although it was released in 1966, it’s still cherished today as a song that portrays eternal love.
Its structure—pairing a pop-leaning melody with heartrending lyrics that showcase their expressive power—may be exactly why it’s considered a classic.
JuicyThe Notorious B.I.G.
Released in 2023, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts also drew attention with its stylish trailer.
The hip-hop track used in that trailer is Juicy, the debut single by The Notorious B.I.G., a legendary figure in the American hip-hop scene.
Some say the choice of a debut single was deliberate, symbolizing a fresh start for the series—and the beginning of a legend.
If you liked it, this is a great chance to revisit his music.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods（Main Title Theme）Christophe Beck
Shazam! is a superhero film based on an American comic book.
Its sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, was released in March 2023.
The film’s music was composed by Canadian composer Christophe Beck, who also scored major hits like Ant-Man and Frozen II.
In the main theme of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the powerful sound of the trombones evokes the righteous power of a superhero—it sounds really cool.
The OstrichTHE PRIMITIVES
The film C’mon C’mon, which drew attention for starring Joaquin Phoenix.
In the scene where the protagonists arrive in New York, the song playing is The Ostrich, a track by THE PRIMITIVES, the rock band Lou Reed was in before forming The Velvet Underground.
Its distinctive, pop-leaning sound captures the roots of The Velvet Underground—known for their avant-garde, quintessentially New York expression—and is part of its appeal!

Pieces of GoldZiggy Katz
Pieces of Gold is the song performed in a live-stream scene by Ziggy, a high schooler played by Finn Wolfhard—born in 2002 and active not only as an actor but also in a band since his teens—in Jesse Eisenberg’s directorial debut feature, When You Finish Saving the World.
The track is presented as an original written by the character himself, and it really feels like something that could exist—lo-fi, bedroom-pop vibes and all.
Given that Finn is a musician in his own right, it’s an easy recommendation for indie pop fans too!
I Don’t Want to Miss a ThingAerosmith
A heart-stirring masterpiece of a rock ballad by Aerosmith.
This song, which expresses a powerful desire not to miss a single moment with a loved one, conveys deep affection and passion.
Released in July 1998 as the theme song for the film Armageddon, it became Aerosmith’s first No.
1 in the United States, achieving the remarkable feat of holding the top spot for four consecutive weeks.
Played during the film’s climax, the song also portrays the bond between father and daughter and the spirit of self-sacrifice, giving it meaning beyond a simple love song.
It’s a highly recommended track not only for couples, but for anyone who wants to feel the bonds with someone important.
