Lovely Western music

[2026] A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with C

music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

In this article, we’ve compiled and introduced only songs with titles that start with the letter “C,” focusing on a wide range of Western popular music—mainly rock and pop—from the 1950s up to the present 2020s.

For example, you might think there are dozens of songs whose titles begin with the word “California,” but… how many are there, really?

It’s a concept you won’t often see on other sites, and it’s perfect for a round of song-title shiritori, too.

Be sure to check it out!
