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.

Pray 4 UsTrippie Redd

Trippie Redd, a new-generation rapper who debuted in 2018, is also known for having led a complicated life.

A track that really lets you feel his stance and personality is “Pray 4 Us.” It’s included on the album Saint Michael and features lyrics about his family and the dangerous world around him.

Since it’s rich in figurative language, try listening closely to the lyrics to deepen your understanding.

Poslední cestaTrist

A charismatic figure in depressive black metal born out of the Czech scene, Trist runs a self-titled project; many consider him and Sweden’s Hypothermia to be the very symbols of DSBM.

Early Trist played primitive black metal—you can hear this clearly on the demo tape Do Tmy Zalu I Nicoty—but it’s no exaggeration to say that Trist as a so-called depressive black metal act truly began with the 2006 debut album Stíny.

There’s no exhilarating sense of speed whatsoever; the songs center on mid-tempo, and the sound quality—rather than being raw and ferocious—borders on cheap, giving it the feel of true basement music.

Guitars spew a sandpapery hiss of noise, drums occasionally pound out double bass, and vocals sound like madness rising from the pit of darkness.

It’s a realm so bleak that the word “gloomy” starts to feel cute by comparison; a newcomer would likely give up within minutes.

That said, if you listen closely, even within the sheer desolation there are fleeting moments when the guitar riffs hint at melody, and the roaring wall of sound can even verge on shoegaze.

Perhaps that’s precisely why it lures the listener ever deeper into a bottomless well of despair and sorrow.

Rapper Tyga is known for deftly handling any style, from hardcore rap with forceful flows to dope, laid-back cuts.

His new track with his partner-in-crime YG, titled “PLATINUM,” has just dropped.

A revival boom has finally reached the hip-hop scene recently, and this record carries the vibe of mid-2000s middle school-era hip-hop.

If you’re tired of the flood of similar-sounding trap, definitely give it a listen.

Prayer for You InterludeUsher

Usher, an R&B singer who symbolizes the tumultuous 2000s.

“Prayer for You Interlude” is one of his ballads I especially recommend.

This piece is included on his 2008 album “Here I Stand,” which marked a major turning point in his life.

Dedicated as a prayer for his son and drawn from Usher’s own experiences, it conveys the profound bond between parent and child.

Expressing the feelings he discovered upon becoming a father and his desire to be a better father informed by his relationship with his own dad, this work is sure to give great courage to every parent struggling with child-rearing.

R&B singer Victoria Monét collaborated with Jamaican reggae DJ Buju Banton on the track “Party Girls.” As the title suggests, it centers on a woman at a party.

It portrays the romantic love awaiting her and the bittersweet feeling when the party ends as the sun rises.

Although it doesn’t mention summer explicitly, it captures the vibe of a Jamaican summer party.

Victoria Monét is a Grammy-winning R&B singer-songwriter.

She’s also well known for writing many songs for Ariana Grande, honing her craft behind the scenes while releasing numerous acclaimed tracks as a singer-songwriter herself.

Her effectively debut album, Jaguar II, released in 2023, received high praise and, as mentioned at the start, won a Grammy.

Her new single Power of Two, released in June 2024, is none other than the end-credit song for the Star Wars series The Acolyte! It’s a standout track that blends a cosmic, expansive sound with Monét’s soulful vocals.

Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics as well, which are said to tie into the actual story.
