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!

Collection of Western songs with titles starting with 'S' (121–130)

Shelter from the StormBob Dylan

Despite its extremely simple arrangement of just acoustic guitar and bass, poetic images layer upon a three-chord progression that runs throughout.

It’s a gem of a folk ballad by Bob Dylan, included on the 1975 masterpiece Blood on the Tracks.

The lyrics depict an encounter with someone who once accepted the narrator unconditionally, and the decisive loss of that presence, unfolding a profound worldview interwoven with Christian symbolism and mythic metaphors.

An alternate take appears on the soundtrack of the film Jerry Maguire, and there’s also a memorable scene in St.

Vincent where Bill Murray sings the song.

It’s a track that offers comfort to those seeking peace amid life’s storms, so why not listen to it gently when your heart feels weary?

A man and a woman who happen to meet in a harbor town at night share a love story that lasts only one evening.

This song, which paints that bittersweet yet beautiful scene, is a gem of a ballad from Bob Dylan’s masterpiece Blood on the Tracks.

Released in January 1975, it’s striking for its unique structure in which the perspective shifts from third person to first, gradually drawing the listener into the protagonist’s inner world.

The indescribable emptiness left behind the next morning after the woman departs quietly speaks to the cruelty of life’s small missed connections—what might be called a “twist of fate.” Its minimalist arrangement of just acoustic guitar and bass, paradoxically, creates an even deeper resonance.

Highly praised by critics—it was ranked 15th in Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs”—this universal classic offers comfort to anyone who carries the memory of a broken heart.

Song for a FriendJason Mraz

Jason Mraz has captivated listeners around the world with his soothing acoustic sound and positive lyrics.

While he’s best known for the massive hit “I’m Yours,” the song we’re introducing today is a friendship-themed track from his 2005 album Mr.

A–Z.

In it, he sings as if speaking directly to a dear friend, expressing gratitude and mutual support over a warm, inviting melody.

There are no flashy bells and whistles—its gentle, guitar-centered arrangement highlights each word of the lyrics and quietly nestles close to the listener’s heart.

Mr.

A–Z is a classic that peaked at No.

5 on the Billboard 200 and was produced by Steve Lillywhite, known for his work with U2, among others.

It’s a perfect recommendation for anyone who wants to convey their feelings to friends they’ve walked alongside, especially at the milestone of graduation.
