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

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

People don’t usually pay attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might not be easy to think of examples right away.

That said, when it comes to English words starting with “L,” there’s “Love,” and just that alone probably accounts for hundreds of songs.

There are also plenty of other words that seem likely to appear in song titles, like “Last,” “Lady,” and “Little.”

In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “L,” regardless of era or genre.

By searching for music from a perspective you may not have considered before, you might discover some new tracks.

A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with “L” (111–120)

Singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg captivated many fans with his lyrical lyrics and beautiful melodies.

This work, dedicated to his father, is a heartwarming ballad that sings of gratitude and respect for the legacy of music.

Through its gentle yet deeply moving melody, one can feel the pride and profound love for the spirit he inherited from his father, who was a bandleader.

Included on the classic 1981 album The Innocent Age, the song went on to reach No.

1 on the U.S.

AC chart the following year.

It’s a number you’ll want to listen to closely on a quiet night when you feel like reflecting on your roots.

LokeEnslaved

Enslaved, the Norwegian stalwarts known for their progressive evolution.

This track is included on their second album, Frost, released in 1994, which distills their early impulses.

Its theme is the god of Norse mythology who embodies cunning and chaos, and that tricky nature is vividly portrayed through icy tremolo riffs and raging drumming.

The melodies, at once majestic and ominous, feel like the wicked cackle of a being that collapses the gods’ order from within.

A direct sequel to this piece appears on their 1998 album Blodhemn, allowing you to experience a part of the grand narrative the band weaves.

It’s a masterpiece where the mythic worldview of Viking metal merges with the primitive dark beauty of early black metal.

Freshwater is a rock band known for its distinctive soundscape that blends a heavy, crushing tone with a floating, dreamy atmosphere.

Formed in 2017 as a side project of the metalcore band Vein.fm, they’re known for a sound that incorporates elements of shoegaze and alternative metal.

Their 2019 release “Linda Claire” surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify, and in 2022 they released their debut album, “We’re Not Here to Be Loved.” Fuzzy, grunge- and shoegaze-inspired guitars pair perfectly with Marisa Shirar’s powerful yet clean vocals, and that contrast gives the band a truly singular appeal.

Their second album, “2000: In Search of the Endless Sky,” slated for release in September 2025, is generating serious industry buzz—so if you’re into bands like Deftones, this is one you should definitely check out!

Emerging from Arizona and garnering major attention in the US shoegaze scene, Grixen is a band to watch.

Since launching in 2020, they’ve made their mark with a signature contrast between engulfing, heavy guitar tones and airy, delicate vocals that float above the mix.

Following their debut EP She Only Said around 2021, they went on to perform at the Coachella festival in 2025.

Their talent is widely recognized, with leading music outlets naming them among “new artists to watch.” On their EP Quiet Pleasures, produced with a renowned producer, you can feel the musical depth—like the beauty of melody shimmering beneath the wall of sound.

Highly recommended for listeners seeking a heavy yet beautiful sound that carries the spirit of ’90s alternative.

Maroon 5, a band boasting worldwide popularity for their groovy sound, return with a track from Love Is Like—their first album in about four years since the 2021 masterpiece Jordi—featuring rapper Lil Wayne.

The song draws you into a provocative lyrical world that likens love’s irresistible allure to a drug.

Its funky beat, sampling Valerie Simpson’s classic, and the warm, organic instrumentation make it a perfect fit for a drive.

This marks their fourth collaboration with Lil Wayne, showcasing their strong chemistry.

Set for release in August 2025, it’s a track that highlights a fresh side of the band.

Lullaby of birdlandChris Connor

Chris Connor, the American jazz singer who rose to fame as one of Stan Kenton’s celebrated “Kenton Girls,” captivated listeners with her husky, cool voice that seemed to carry the atmosphere of a city night.

Her tone blended effortlessly with any ensemble, from big bands to intimate piano trios.

Her body of work after signing with Atlantic Records in the 1950s is filled with masterpieces that solidified her sophisticated style.

Though cool, her singing also conveys a certain warmth that feels close to the heart, inviting listeners into the profound world of jazz.

You’ll find yourself entranced by her distinctive sense of space and expressive power.

Like The RainAndrea Bejar

Singer-songwriter Angela Behar, who has been gaining attention for her unique blend of traditional Mexican music and indie pop.

I’d like to introduce a track from her album “Love Again,” released in August 2025.

The song delicately portrays the feelings of trying to face love once more, as if the rain were washing everything clean and easing the pain of the heart.

Her warm yet faintly wistful vocals merge with a shimmering, transparent sound, gently nestling close to the listener.

Rich emotions rooted in Latin music and the refined atmosphere of indie pop are beautifully balanced, making this the perfect number for a night when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.
