Collection of Western songs with titles starting with 'K' (251–260)

KillersIron Maiden

The title track from their second album, Killers, released in 1981.

The intro, which starts with four-on-the-floor kick drum and a bass riff, is structured to gradually build excitement as if it were designed for call-and-response at live shows—it really makes you want to throw your fist in the air.

The driving guitar phrases and solos riding over the varied rhythm patterns of the bass and drums seem to condense the very appeal of a metal number.

A track that laments the end and collapse of a romantic relationship.

It is included on the album “Shangri La,” released in 2013 by British indie rock artist Jake Bugg.

The track was inspired by Jake’s breakup with his girlfriend.

Keys, Notes & ScalesJames Burton

Soulful, dubby house music.

With old-school sampling, it nails the vibe, doesn’t it? Not too understated, not too flashy—perfect for building up the dance floor! The repeatedly chopped-up female vocal samples, along with occasional long vocal passages, add dynamics and heighten the sense of euphoria.

Don’t the staccato string sounds also evoke the spirit of 1990s house music?

Kind For A DayJamiroquai

This is a single from the fourth album Synkronized, released in 1999.

It’s a tribute song to bassist Stuart Zender, who was a member of Jamiroquai from 1992 to 1998.

With a harpsichord-like sound, the track follows a Baroque pop style, and Jay Kay’s aristocratic costume suits it well.

The music video suggests he’s grappling with a vexing problem.

Kiss The SkyJason Derulo

Jason’s 2016 release features an upbeat vibe and his soaring vocals that lift your spirits.

Just watching the dancing in the music video—set in a hotel and by the poolside—is fun, and when you’re feeling down, you might try dancing your heart out to the rhythm of this song just like they do.

A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with “K” (261–270)

King Porter StompJelly Roll Morton

“King Porter Stomp” is a jazz standard composed by Jelly Roll Morton, who is said to be the originator of stomp jazz.

The pianist Jelly created a genre within jazz known as “stomp.” The word “stomp” literally means to stamp your feet.

True to its name, stomp jazz features a lively, foot-stomping feel.

While the piano is an instrument capable of producing beautiful melodies, it is also a percussion instrument, so it can at times generate a light, driving rhythm.

The Ukrainian metalcore band Jinjer has taken a bold new step.

This release features a heavy sound infused with progressive elements and showcases vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk’s overwhelming vocal prowess.

True to its Kafka-inspired title, the lyrics reflect the absurdity of modern society and the pressure of criticism that artists face.

Released as the lead single from the album “Duél,” scheduled for February 7, 2025, it was completed over roughly two years with producer Max Morton.

It’s a must-listen not only for heavy metal fans but also for listeners seeking socially conscious messages.
