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.

The new song by American rock band Queens of the Stone Age is a hard-hitting track themed around the complexity of human relationships and self-awareness.

The intro riff in C-sharp minor hints at the band’s signature powerful sound.

In the chorus and interludes, it suddenly modulates to A major, featuring an ear-catching progression that effectively uses fifths and octaves.

Released this June as the final single from the album “In Times New Roman…,” the song is the band’s first new work in six years, and is said to reflect Josh Homme’s own difficult experiences.

It delivers a scathing satire of betrayal and self-justification through the metaphor of a “paper machete.” It’s a must-listen for anyone buffeted by the turmoil of human relationships.

The lyrics, built around weighty themes such as political protest and the struggles of the human psyche, vividly reflect Thom Yorke’s raw emotions.

It also links superbly with the worldview of the anime Ergo Proxy, whose dark and intricate atmosphere is a perfect match; the portrayal of a soul seeking silence while wrestling with a turbulent reality surely struck a chord with many anime fans.
