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.

SharonYellow Days
Yellow Days, the standard-bearer of indie soul-pop from Surrey, England.
This solo project by George van den Broek, born in 1999, has been turning heads since his teens with its lo-fi textures and a mature, raspy voice.
The advance single from his album Rock And A Hard Place, slated for release in February 2026, features a striking brass arrangement inspired by Sly & The Family Stone and Ray Charles, and expresses gratitude to a friend who was a source of support during a period of personal uncertainty.
Sung with soulful conviction, the track captures the feeling of teetering on self-destructive impulses yet holding on thanks to someone’s belief in you—a seamless blend of vintage funk’s celebratory spirit and introspective storytelling.
StepsCecil Taylor
Cecil Taylor’s Unit Structures, still hailed as one of the most important works of 1960s free jazz, is a landmark album released by Blue Note Records in 1966.
Known for his distinctive, percussive approach to the piano, Taylor took on this project with a seven-piece ensemble—trumpet, two alto saxophones, two bassists, and drums.
The result is an ambitious work that largely abandons conventional chord progressions and song forms, instead realizing his unique concept of constructing structure by combining units of sound.
The layered low-end space woven by the two basses and the complex textures created by the horn section evoke the feel of meticulously assembled chamber music, even as the music remains atonal.
Moments that may first sound chaotic are, in fact, guided by a rigorous blueprint.
I recommend setting aside preconceptions and immersing yourself fully in this powerful sonic world.
Seven Come ElevenCharlie Christian
Charlie Christian, the innovator who elevated the electric guitar to a solo instrument.
Though he passed away at just 25, The Genius Of The Electric Guitar compiles his performances from 1939 to 1941 with the Benny Goodman Orchestra—a disc packed with the fervor of the transitional era from swing to bebop.
His horn-like, flowing single-note solos and the then-groundbreaking, fat tone of the electric guitar can be fully savored on classics like Rose Room and Solo Flight.
His playing, which influenced not only later jazz guitarists but even the world of rock, is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand the possibilities of the guitar.
Despite being historical recordings, their groove and forward-looking spirit remain as vibrant as ever!
StarlightDave
Dave is a rapper and producer from Brixton in South London.
Centered on UK rap and hip-hop, he has forged a unique style that weaves in elements of conscious hip-hop and UK drill.
He broke onto the scene with his 2016 EP Six Paths, winning support with a live-ready collaboration with AJ Tracey.
His 2019 debut album Psychodrama won the Mercury Prize, and at the following year’s BRIT Awards it took home Best British Album; his socially charged performance at the ceremony was hailed as “the most important in BRITs history.” Known for piano-led minimal tracks and weighty storytelling, his lyrics compellingly tackle social issues.
Sprinter, from Split Decision—his collaborative EP with fellow 1998-born Central Cee—achieved record-breaking sales, and in 2025 he released his third album, The Boy Who Played the Harp, which reached No.
1 on the UK charts.
He’s the perfect artist for listeners seeking introspective yet powerful messages.
Song For My FatherHorace Silver
Pianist Horace Silver, known as one of the founders of hard bop, released Song for My Father in 1965, a work widely loved as a landmark album representing the golden era of Blue Note Records.
The title track, written in homage to his father from the Cape Verde Islands, is characterized by a distinctive groove that fuses bossa nova rhythms with a bluesy melody, and Joe Henderson’s striking solo is one of its highlights.
Throughout the album, a funky yet refined ensemble unfolds, allowing you to fully enjoy Silver’s unique sound world, which skillfully weaves in elements of Latin and gospel.
Its memorable melodies and comfortable rhythms are sure to feel immediately approachable even for those just starting to listen to jazz!
