There are plenty of English words beginning with “V” that sound like song titles, such as “Victory,” “Vision,” “Vampire,” and “Village.”

You might not usually listen to songs that all start with the same letter, but that’s exactly why you might discover tracks you didn’t know before or make new discoveries.

So, let’s dive in and see what new songs we might encounter!

A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with “V” (11–20)

Gilsons is a new-generation trio composed of the son and grandsons of Gilberto Gil, a treasure of the Brazilian music scene.

Highly recommended as an introduction to MPB, their anthemic track released in 2019 as the title song of their debut EP fits the bill perfectly.

Originally a cover of a classic by Bahia legends Olodum, the song pairs a sense of helpless frustration toward a lover with the festive rhythms of samba-reggae—a striking contrast.

Riding the attention sparked by this track, they went on to achieve international success, including a Latin Grammy nomination in 2022 for their album Pra Gente Acordar.

Their breezy groove, blending tradition and modernity, makes it the perfect song to lift your spirits.

Inspired by the shock of witnessing the 2001 terrorist attacks, My Chemical Romance became an indispensable presence in the 2000s emo scene.

This time, let’s focus on a track from their roots—the debut album “I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love”—a song that helped cement the band’s identity and was also released as a single.

It’s a rock number whose appeal lies in a post-hardcore-derived sound that shifts from a quiet opening into an intense eruption of emotion.

The lyrics, using vampires as a motif, form a conceptual piece that portrays inner struggles such as the fear of corruption lurking in everyday life and the loss of self.

The anecdote that the vocalist recorded while enduring the agonizing pain of a toothache underscores the work’s chilling expressiveness.

Brimming with raw, early energy, the sound resonates most deeply when you’re burdened with emotions that have nowhere to go.

If you’re aiming for a stylish, dark Halloween vibe, this track might be just the thing.

It’s a song by Machine Gun Kelly, who made the leap from the hip-hop scene to pop-punk and commands massive popularity.

Released in July 2025, the track is a lead single from the album “lost americana.” As the title suggests, it appears to depict the passionate love and loneliness of someone living through eternal time, and its mysterious atmosphere amps up the Halloween mood.

Produced by his close collaborator Travis Barker, the exhilarating sound and catchy melody are irresistible.

The music video also drew attention for featuring a dance he reportedly learned in just two days.

It’s a perfect party number that blends eerie vibes with pop appeal.

Borknagar, one of the bands that represent the Norwegian metal scene.

In their early days, they were also known for bringing together members from illustrious bands like Gorgoroth and Immortal.

This is the opening track of their debut album, “Borknagar,” released in August 1996.

Unlike their later progressive direction, this work condenses the raw spirit of Viking metal.

True to its title, which evokes a “legend of the soul of winter’s wrath,” the raging, storm-like guitar riffs and blast beats depict the ferocity of nature in the frozen north.

There’s even an anecdote that Infernus of Gorgoroth recorded all the bass parts in a single day—an early, impulsive energy encapsulated in one track.

Bold guitar riffs intertwine with the tones of traditional instruments like tin whistle and violin, instantly drawing the listener into a world of storytelling.

The lyrics depict the pride of warriors bound by blood and the unbreakable bonds of comradeship.

This powerful worldview superbly captures the appeal of Viking metal.

The piece’s vivid sense of presence—like an ancient battlefield unfolding before your eyes—is sure to set your heart ablaze.

It’s a must-listen for anyone who loves grand historical romance.

Mariah Carey, the American songstress known for her wide five-and-a-half-octave range and whistle register, released her landmark debut single in May 1990, a song that went on to have a major impact on the music world.

In this track, she sings of gratitude and joy—almost like a prayer—at the moment when the ideal love she had long envisioned finally becomes reality after enduring many years of hardship.

Included on her debut album “Mariah Carey,” the song topped the U.S.

charts for four consecutive weeks and won a Grammy the following year.

It carries an atmosphere that feels like a fusion of grand gospel and soulful R&B.

It’s the kind of anthem that gently encourages those striving toward their dreams.

Valdr GalgaThyrfing

A song by the Swedish band Thyrfing, regarded as a heavyweight in the Viking metal scene.

It’s the title track of their second album, Valdr Galga, released in March 1999, and its opening—featuring a massive guitar riff and majestic synths—brilliantly evokes the world of Norse mythology.

With a dramatic progression themed around Odin and an intense sound, it truly feels as if an ancient battle is unfolding right before your eyes.

The contrast between the ferocity rooted in black metal and the lyrical melodies is superb, making this a recommended number for those who love grand, epic narratives.
