In this article, I’ll be introducing a bunch of Western songs with titles that start with “X.” It’s not every day that we listen to playlists built around a single initial, but that’s exactly why you might stumble upon songs you’ve never known before and make some new discoveries.

There aren’t actually that many English words that begin with “X.” However, when it comes to song titles, there are quite a lot.

XanaduOlivia Newton-John

It’s amazing that you can tell it’s a song by Electric Light Orchestra, a popular British group, just from the shimmering synths and beautiful strings in the intro! This track, Xanadu, was created through a collaboration between Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and it was produced for the soundtrack of the film of the same name.

The melody is very easy to remember and doesn’t have any unusual quirks, and the lyrics don’t use difficult vocabulary or grammar—especially with the repeatedly used title—so if you listen closely to Olivia’s singing and imitate the elisions and reductions, you can sing it with convincing pronunciation.

Some people might struggle with the pre-chorus, which consists entirely of falsetto, because it can be hard to keep the pitch stable.

I suggest first practicing by sustaining your falsetto without worrying too much about pitch, and once you’re used to that, move on to focusing on accurate intonation.

It’s a signature song by the Australian singer Olivia Newton-John, who was active from the 1970s to the 1980s! Rather than something you’d listen to when you’re going through a tough time yourself, it’s an encouraging song you’d want to send to a friend or acquaintance who’s feeling down—or have someone send to you.
