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.

Winger is an American rock band formed in 1987.

While some of their songs lean more toward hard rock, Proud Desperado is an irresistible track with a classic heavy metal sound! In particular, the crunchy guitar riffs delivered in a groove-metal-like downtuning, paired with subtly woven keyboard phrases, are richly satisfying.

The masculine, power-metal-style vocal melodies also make it perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a quintessential heavy metal tune!

The new song by WISHY, an alternative dream-pop band based in Indianapolis, USA, portrays a poignant yearning for someone far away.

Released in October 2024, the track was born during the making of their debut album, “Triple Seven,” but ultimately came out as a standalone single.

Incorporating elements of shoegaze and dream pop, the sound nods to ’90s indie rock while embracing modern arrangements.

The song is also slated to be performed on their European and U.S.

tours, heightening anticipation for its live appeal.

It’s a recommended listen for those who want to immerse themselves in a dreamlike atmosphere or seek resonance with bittersweet emotions.

Centered on a self-reflective theme that looks back on his life and career, the work leaves a strong impression of his “comeback.” Laid over heavyweight hip-hop beats, the lyrics carry a serious, cinematic mood, expressing the battles he’s faced throughout his career and his determination for future success.

Energetic and motivating, this release marks the beginning of a new chapter for both fans and Xzibit himself.

A must-listen for hip-hop fans.

Yard Act is a UK-based rock band that has gained a strong following in Japan as well.

From their second album, “Where’s My Utopia?”, I’d like to introduce the track “Petroleum.” The song was inspired by an incident at a live venue and is crafted like a message sung directly to the audience.

It’s great how it conveys the band’s stance and passion.

Known for his ultra-unique, often called eccentric style, Young Thug has gained popularity by presenting an unorthodox musical approach as a rapper and is also recognized as a fashion icon.

His third album, “Business Is Business,” released in 2023, reached No.

2 on the U.S.

charts, underscoring his continued presence.

The track “Parade on Cleveland” is the opening number on that album.

Featuring Drake, it stands out with a calm, R&B-tinged beat over which Drake delivers melodies, and before Thug’s verse begins, there’s a distinctive audio clip of a phone call from Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

It’s also noteworthy that the immensely popular hitmaker Metro Boomin participated as a producer.
