A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'P'
In this article, I’ll be introducing classic Western songs whose titles start with the letter “P.” When you think of English words that begin with “P,” terms like “Peace,” “Party,” and “Picture” come to mind—some of you might already be thinking of a few songs just from seeing those words.
I don’t think many of us have had the chance to specifically seek out and listen only to songs that start with a particular letter.
But looking at them this way might help you discover tracks you didn’t know or lead to new findings.
I’d be delighted if this becomes an opportunity for you to encounter some new music.

Paid In FullEric B. & Rakim
Eric B.
& Rakim, the American duo who set a milestone in hip-hop history.

The protagonist’s iron resolve to rise as a hustler and demand proper payment comes through sharply, even in a calm tone.
Give it a listen when you want to explore hip-hop’s roots or sharpen your focus.

Since their formation in 1993, they have boldly fused majestic orchestration with black metal, establishing the unique style of symphonic black metal.
With albums like Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, they cemented their global acclaim, and in 2007, In Sorte Diaboli topped the charts in their home country—the first-ever achievement for a black metal band.
Their sound, where ferocious aggression intersects with dramatic beauty, is like a grand epic.
They are the perfect band for those who want to immerse themselves in a dark, fantastical world.

Pieces of a ManGil Scott-Heron
Gil Scott-Heron, the American artist often called the “Godfather of Rap,” fused poetry with soul and funk to create a unique style.
His Pieces of a Man, released in 1971, is an early masterpiece—an essential work not only in funk and soul, but, as noted, in the history of hip-hop as well.
Often described as progressive soul, its melodious yet innovative sound provides a vivid stage for Scott-Heron’s lyrics, showcasing his brilliance as a wordsmith—an approach that has perhaps been even more appreciated in the present day than at the time of its release.
It may feel a bit challenging at first, but there are tracks where he delivers assured, expressive vocals.
If you’re into funk—or if you’re a hip-hop listener—definitely lend an ear to Scott-Heron’s voice, his words, and his sound.

1, a signature work by Detroit-born Jeff Mills, is said to have laid the foundation for modern techno.
Its hard, metallic beats pounding at high speed evoke a thrilling sensation, as if you’re racing through a city of the future.
What’s remarkable is how, within loops that may sound mechanical, there’s actually subtle variation and a funky soul.
The nickname “The Wizard” is no exaggeration.
It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that without this album, contemporary techno might never have been born.
Surrender yourself to this steel-clad groove.

That simplicity makes the wistful plea seep deeply into the listener’s heart, imbuing the song with a poignant, melancholic atmosphere.
Let yourself drift on its sweet yet aching melody and bask in a wave of nostalgia.
