A compilation of Western songs with titles that start with 'S'

When it comes to songs with titles that start with “S,” do any come to mind?

We don’t usually pay attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might not be easy to think of examples right away.

However, there are plenty of English words that start with “S,” like “Start,” “Shake,” “Season,” and “Save.”

In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles beginning with “S,” regardless of era or genre.

You might discover something new by grouping songs in a way you haven’t considered before!

Ella Fitzgerald, the jazz singer known as the “First Lady of Song.” She’s famous as a master of scat, but her tender ballads are exquisite as well.

One of her standout spring-themed performances is “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most.” Spring is often thought of as a bright, cheerful season, but this piece intentionally sings of spring’s melancholy, making it a poignant work.

It’s included on the acclaimed 1961 album “Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!”, where the small ensemble highlights the delicacy of her vocals.

When you’re a bit worn out by the glittering air of spring, it might be nice to listen to it quietly.

Released that year as an advance single, “SMiLE” is a high-velocity gem blending jazz, hip-hop, and video game-inspired elements.

The music video directed by Anderson .Paak also drew attention, further heightening anticipation for their album “NOT TiGHT.” When a new season begins and you feel like strolling through the city with a light step, this is the perfect choice for your BGM.

This is a track by Emma-Jean Thackray, a multi-instrumentalist from Leeds, UK.

Rooted in jazz yet moving fluidly through elements of funk and club music, she stands out as a distinctive presence in today’s UK jazz scene.

Among her works, the one I’d love you to hear in this heart-lifting season is “Say Something.” Its progression—from the repetition of a minimal beat to a gradually building, dance music–like euphoria—is captivating.

Featured on her debut album “Yellow,” released in 2021, this piece is perfect not only for a relaxing time at a café but also as a soundtrack for a spring-breeze walk.

She’s also known for being the daughter of the famous sitar player.

This is the acclaimed track that opens her album “Feels Like Home,” released in February 2004.

The piano, like morning sunlight streaming through a window, and her characteristically languid vocals resonate with a wonderfully soothing touch.

It won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 47th Grammy Awards and was also featured in the film “Because of Winn-Dixie.” Its relaxed rhythm is perfect for a gentle spring awakening, so be sure to give it a listen with a cup of coffee in hand.
