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.

Wish You Were HereIncubus

Incubus – Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were HereIncubus

Incubus burst onto the scene with a West Coast rap-metal, nu-metal/mixture rock style, and with the 2001 release of Morning View they grew into one of America’s top bands.

Even among the tracks that leaned more heavily into beautiful, dramatic melodies, Wish You Were Here stands out as a truly great song that I highly recommend as a refined example of mixture rock.

The well-timed scratching that slips into the expansive, widescreen sound is extremely cool.

It’s a quintessential track that showcases everything compelling about Incubus—definitely give it a listen.

This piece, included on Iron Maiden’s 1992 album Fear of the Dark, was created by a band that has had a profound impact on the history of heavy metal.

Co-written by guitarist Janick Gers and vocalist Bruce Dickinson, it’s a rare melancholic ballad for them.

The lyrics, depicting someone confronting the pain of a broken heart, are sharply insightful, and Dickinson’s raw, heartfelt vocals resonate deeply.

It’s a recommended track not only for Iron Maiden fans but also for those who enjoy ballads and slower songs.

It’s a striking piece featuring a poetic image that likens falling snow to “white butterflies.” J.J.

Cale’s calm vocals and warm guitar tones beautifully capture the harsh cold of winter and a sense of loneliness.

Included on the album Stay Around, released in April 2019, this track was compiled from previously unreleased recordings by Cale, who passed away in 2013.

Its distinctive “Tulsa Sound,” a fusion of blues, country, and folk, is captivating and makes it a song you’ll want to hear on a quiet, snowy night.

As you listen, you may find yourself empathizing with the lyrics’ feelings—wanting to set out on a journey in the depths of winter yet being unable to move—so why not settle in and give it a relaxed listen?
