A roundup of Western songs with titles that start with 'Q'

QuestShimon & Andy C

Andy C & Shimon – Quest

Andy C, the British artist who heads the prestigious and long-established drum and bass label RAM Records and serves as a leading figure in the scene.

The fact that he founded the label at just 16 speaks volumes about his precocious talent.

Still incredibly busy today as a top-tier DJ, Andy C remains deeply involved in the evolution of drum and bass—so much so that following his trajectory is almost like tracing the genre’s history itself.

Let me introduce “Quest,” a 12-inch single released in 1996 on his own label, produced in collaboration with fellow British DJ/producer Shimon during Andy C’s younger days.

Despite its overall simplicity, the track is strikingly cool, pairing airy electronic textures with tight breakbeats.

Considering its release year, it stands as an important testament to early drum and bass, showcasing the creative talents of both Andy C and Shimon.

I also recommend the B-side, “Night Flight,” which features a more primitive, jungle-inspired structure.

Stacey Kent – Que reste-t-il de nos amours

If you like mellow French jazz, I recommend “Que reste-t-il de nos amours.” She sings in French, but she’s actually from the United States.

Isn’t her French incredibly good? Her talent is recognized in France as well—she’s even received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, an award given to outstanding artists.

It’s a quiet jazz piece with a touch of sweetness, so be sure to check it out!

The music video, featuring Whitney Houston exuding the dignity of a true queen, is full of highlights and has an almost divine aura.

The queenly rhythm that makes men kneel will get you moving—you just can’t help but dance.

It’s a famous song used in a scene from the film The Bodyguard.

Quando Quando QuandoWinterplay

Winterplay – Quando Quando Quando EBS Space 090120

Although this song is often sung in English, the title “Quando” is Italian for “someday.” It’s an old song released in 1962, and there have been numerous cover versions since.

It’s a love song, but Winterplay’s gentle vocals, the guitar arpeggios, and the muted trumpet that comes in during the interlude all help soothe a tired heart.
