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

In this article, I’ll be introducing a whole batch of Western songs whose titles start with the letter “M”! You probably don’t usually listen only to songs that begin with a specific letter, but that’s exactly why trying it might lead you to tracks you didn’t know before and spark new discoveries.

By the way, when it comes to English words that start with “M,” there are plenty that seem perfect for song titles, like “Mr,” “Mrs,” “Magic,” “Make,” and “Moon.” If you’re a fan of Western music, you might already have a few songs in mind.

With that hope of meeting some new tracks, please enjoy reading this article.

In 1995, they topped the domestic charts with the album Metropolis, making their name resound across the country.

Their Norwegian Grammy win attests to their quality.

With a dark, decadent worldview and gripping, emotionally charged melodies, they’re perfect for those who want to immerse themselves deeply in music.

A pioneering American band essential to any discussion of soul and funk, Funkadelic created the historic masterpiece Maggot Brain.

Its eponymous title track—ten breathtaking minutes of Eddie Hazel’s guitar weeping and wailing—defines the album.

The solo, said to have been born from the instruction “Play as if your mother had just died,” leaves an unforgettable impact after a single listen.

At the same time, the album includes tracks with gospel brightness and heavy, rock-inflected numbers, giving the record a kaleidoscopic range of expressions.

Why not dive headlong into this intense yet beautiful sonic world that far surpasses the boundaries of funk?

Moiré (Piano & Organ)Jan Jelinek

Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records, a landmark album in electronic music released in 2001 by German musician Jan Jelinek.

Hearing that it uses jazz records as source material might make you expect a cheerful tone, but in fact it’s a mysterious soundscape where tiny shards of sound—chopped so finely the originals are unrecognizable—drift and mingle.

The warm texture of noise, crackling, popping clicks, and minimalist beats intertwine exquisitely, luring the listener into a dreamlike world.

Despite being electronic, it somehow conveys a human warmth—one of the album’s greatest charms.

Take your time and savor the beautiful resonance woven from these delicate grains of sound.
