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.

What WasBenson Boone

Benson Boone – What Was (Official Lyric Video)
What WasBenson Boone

A heart swaying between the radiant memories of love and a reality to which there’s no return.

Capturing the ache of youth, American singer-songwriter Benson Boone delivers it beautifully.

Catapulted to stardom through his activity on social media, his voice is a must-hear.

This song portrays the bittersweet struggle of reminiscing about days gone by while trying to accept that “the past is the past.” Released in April 2023 and included on his second EP, Pulse, it’s the kind of track that will gently stay by your side on nights when you’re tormented by an unforgettable love or suddenly grow sentimental remembering the past.

Why not turn those treasure-like memories into strength and take a step into the next season?

Whatever It TakesKenny Chesney

Kenny Chesney, hailing from the United States and now reigning as a giant in the country scene, made his debut with this song, which sings of a straightforward, passionate love that would do anything for the one you cherish.

It’s irresistibly rich with the traditional, early-career country sound fans have dubbed “twangy.” This track comes from his debut album, In My Wildest Dreams, released in 1994.

There’s also a playful story from 2003, when he sang this very song in the studio with a close friend who was a star player in American football.

Whether you want to convey your honest feelings to someone special or fire yourself up to charge toward your goals, listening to this will surely give you a push.

What’ll You Do About MeRandy Travis

Randy Travis, a leading figure in American country music.

When sung in his warm, polished baritone voice, it sounds like a devoted love song, but in reality it’s about one-sided obsession.

The track appears on his May 1987 album “Always & Forever,” a masterpiece that produced four singles which all reached No.

1 on the U.S.

country charts.

Unable to let go of the person he spent a night with, the protagonist chases them relentlessly, blurring the line between pure love and madness.

The gentle melody and sweet vocals seem to highlight the underlying menace of the lyrics all the more.

There’s even a story that when Doug Supernaw later covered the song, the lyrics were considered problematic and some radio stations refused to play it.

Perhaps even pure affection can corner someone once it crosses a certain line.

War Isn’t MurderJesse Welles

Jesse Wells, a modern troubadour who emerged from social media, hails from the United States.

Released in April 2024, this work hurls piercing questions with nothing more than a gravelly voice and an acoustic guitar.

It confronts the reality that the word “murder” is being hollowed out by the lofty justifications brandished by those in power.

I can’t shake the feeling that his singing, asking “Isn’t this murder?” strikes directly at the heart.

This piece, which drew attention for his performance at Farm Aid, is also included on the album Under The Powerlines (April 24 – September 24).

It’s a song I especially want people to hear who ache over events in distant countries and are tormented by a sense of helplessness.

Its rugged resonance reveals an unvarnished truth.

War is a GodJesse Welles

Jesse Wells, a singer-songwriter from Arkansas who is often called the conscience of modern America.

In 2024, he was chosen as Saving Country Music’s inaugural Songwriter of the Year, a testament to his widely acclaimed talent.

Woven into this work is a searing question: Why must those who believe in the same God kill one another over a single interpretation of scripture? The words, carried by a quiet guitar, come across as a stern indictment of people who persist in conflict.

This piece is a track from the album “Middle,” set for release in February 2025.

When you feel the emptiness of consuming distant wars as mere information, why not listen to his voice and consider what we can do?
