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

When it comes to songs with titles that start with “J,” do any come to mind?

We don’t usually pay much attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might be hard to think of one right away.

That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “J,” like “Joy,” “Just,” “Jet,” and “Jesus.”

In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles that begin with “J,” regardless of era or genre.

By exploring music from a perspective you may not have tried before, you might discover some new tracks.

A track by Cepheid, a Vocaloid producer known for metal-style music production.

In the intro, heavy band sounds are layered over piano, and together with the triple-meter rhythm, they create a feeling that naturally pulls your body forward.

It’s a number where intense instrumentation and the digital, airy vocals of VOCALOID fuse seamlessly.

Channel Tres – Just Can’t Get Enough (Official Audio)

Songs that repeat a single phrase really stick in your head, don’t they? A lot of them have great vibes, so I bet many people love them.

The one I want to highlight is “Just Can’t Get Enough.” It’s a track by the American rapper Channel Tres.

The synthesizer melody and his flow match perfectly.

But what really leaves an impression is the chorus, where the same phrase is repeated.

Listen once and it’s guaranteed to get stuck in your head! It’s also a track with outstanding rhyme schemes, so be sure to pay attention to that, too.

Charlie Parker with Strings – Just Friends
Just FriendsCharlie Parker

Charlie Parker, also known by his nickname “Bird,” was a pioneering figure who helped forge bebop—the prototype of modern jazz—in the early 1940s, and he is revered by jazz fans worldwide as the “Father of Modern Jazz.” Sadly, Parker’s private life was far from exemplary, and his troubled day-to-day existence led to his death at the young age of 34.

Even so, his musical achievements are immeasurable in the history of jazz.

Clint Eastwood, famed for his maverick love of jazz and for directing several documentaries on jazz musicians, also produced and directed the 1988 film “Bird,” which focused on Parker.

Here, I’d like to introduce “Charlie Parker With Strings,” a two-disc collection compiling recordings Parker made between 1947 and 1952.

As the title suggests, it’s a collaboration with orchestra: within the sweet, retro-tinged string sound, Parker’s alto sax stands out with stunning presence and beauty.

If you want to savor the alto saxophone’s tone in a romantic mood, this is a must-listen.

This track is included on their second album, Time to Go Home, released in 2015.

The album has been praised as “a uniquely blended work of beauty and absurdity.”

Joys of ChristmasChris Rea

While bearing a title that suggests the joy of Christmas, this song actually portrays the harsh realities of society.

It vividly depicts the struggles of the working class in Northern England, highlighting a world that stands in stark contrast to the festive glitter of the season.

Chris Rea’s wistful melody, combined with blues-rock elements, was released in 1987 and peaked at No.

67 on the UK Singles Chart.

Issued as a single from the album “Dancing with Strangers,” it came out in both 7-inch and 12-inch formats.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to look at the realities behind Christmas or who resonate with socially conscious lyrics.

Jar Of HeartsChristina Perri

Jar Of HeartsChristina Perri

A ballad by Christina Perri.

It’s a revenge-tinged song for when a playboy ex tries to get back together.

The chorus line—“After hurting people so much, who do you think you are?”—is really cool.

It’s a song you’ll want to sing tenderly and with feeling.
