A collection of Western songs with titles that start with “W”

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

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

That said, when it comes to English words starting with “W,” there are interrogatives like “What,” “Where,” and “Who,” and just from those alone, there must be plenty of songs!

There are also words like “Walk,” “Wonder,” and “Word,” which all sound like they could appear in song titles.

In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “W.”

By searching for music from a perspective you might not have considered before, you may discover new tracks.

Wrong WaySublime

Hailing from Long Beach, California and known as a pinnacle of ska punk, Sublime released a track from their 1996 album “Sublime” that stands as a masterpiece, seamlessly fusing heavy themes with breezy melodies.

While sharply depicting social issues faced by a 12-year-old girl, the song impresses with a light, deftly blended sound that weaves together ska, reggae, and punk.

A trombone solo modeled after George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” adds an exquisite touch.

The track spent 26 weeks on Billboard’s Alternative chart and won an award at the MTV Video Music Awards.

It remains a favorite among many listeners as the perfect song for a weekend drive or a quick mood lift.

A soft rock song themed around warm love and self-affirmation, included on the 1981 album Made in America.

Featured on the Carpenters’ final studio album released during their lifetimes, this notable track was crafted by the duo of Bill Lane and Roger Nichols.

The album Made in America produced several hits, including Touch Me When We’re Dancing, and this song was later used as the B-side to Honolulu City Lights.

With its uplifting message, this track is recommended for anyone seeking the comfort of heartwarming music.
