A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “I”

When it comes to English words that start with “I,” there are plenty that could make great song titles—beyond the pronoun “I,” you’ve got “If” for hypotheticals, as well as “Imagine” and “Idea,” among others.

In this article, I’ll introduce some classic Western songs whose titles start with “I.” I don’t think many people usually search for songs by narrowing down the first letter of the title, but that’s exactly why you might discover tracks you hadn’t noticed before.

Enjoy the article as you look forward to finding out what songs are on the list.

A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with 'I' (211–220)

In Stars We DrownFALLUJAH

Fallujah, the champions of technical/progressive death metal based in the San Francisco Bay Area, have delivered a stunning opener on their ambitious album Xenotaph, released in June 2025—one that truly fires the listener’s imagination.

The record unfolds a narrative world described by vocalist Kyle Schaefer, where a sci‑fi vision of the afterlife intertwines with psychological snares in which dreams and reality intersect.

The music translates this intricate yet beautiful concept with finesse: technically dazzling yet fluid guitar work, and a striking contrast between gentle clean vocals and powerful harsh vocals.

For listeners seeking profound themes and innovative sound, this is a track you won’t want to miss.

Griffin Taylor), the track was released alongside its music video on the same day, garnering 28,000 views in just four days.

In My LifeThe Beatles

With a kaleidoscope-like shimmer, the melody that reflects fragments of memory is striking.

Featured on the Beatles’ legendary 1965 December release, the masterpiece Rubber Soul, this song is a gem in which John Lennon, in unadorned language, writes of his inexhaustible affection for the important people and places in his life.

George Martin’s baroque-style, graceful piano solo is justly famous, and the acoustic guitar arpeggios that delicately color the melody further deepen its nostalgic atmosphere.

Having set the tone for many moving scenes in films and TV dramas, it’s a piece that, when heard at life’s milestones, brings a swell of gratitude and tenderness for days gone by.

This is an instrumental masterpiece from their classic 1970 album Abraxas.

Jazz, rock, and Latin music fuse with fiery passion, and the whirlwind structure and improvisation are nothing short of breathtaking.

The piece quotes part of a composition by Horace Silver, then, in the latter half, shifts into a beautiful melody reminiscent of Aretha Franklin—a dramatic arrangement that’s truly compelling.

It’s said that the title carries a powerful message of revolution and liberation, and knowing that background deepens the experience even further.

Also featured on the soundtrack to the film Fillmore (released in 1972), this track is perfect for anyone who wants to feel the band’s musical evolution—or for a night when you want to immerse yourself in a soul-stirring performance.
