A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “H”
In this article, I’ll be introducing a bunch of Western songs with titles that start with “H.”
You might not usually listen to playlists made up only of songs that start with a particular letter, but that’s exactly why you could discover tracks you’ve never known before and make some new finds.
When it comes to English words that start with “H,” there are plenty—like “Help,” “Hello,” and “High,” to name a few.
All of them sound like they could be song titles, and if you’re a music lover, you might already have a few in mind.
So, let’s dive into the article and see what songs are out there!
A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with “H” (1–10)
Half-LifeNEW!Moodring
A track released in October 2025 by the Florida-based alternative metal band Moodring via SharpTone Records.
Sparked by a medical diagnosis, frontman Hunter Young confronted a lost sense of self and channeled that feeling of loss into the song.
The black-and-white music video is striking, and the sound is both introspective and aggressive.
The contrast between the heavy guitar riffs and the emotive vocals stands out, further deepening the cross-genre approach showcased on the album “Stargazer.” It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone facing personal change or loss, or standing at a turning point in life.
Hunt Up WindNEW!Hiroshi Fukumura with Sadao Watanabe
This album, a collaboration between two giants of the Japanese jazz scene, is a fusion work released in April 1978.
The tight unison lines and interplay between trombonist Hiroshi Fukumura and saxophonist Sadao Watanabe are nothing short of exhilarating.
Riding an energetic, driving rhythm, brass and saxophone intertwine as funk grooves blend seamlessly with Japanese fusion sensibilities.
Seasoned international players also appear on the session, giving the record a cosmopolitan sound.
If you’re looking for robust jazz-funk to savor on long winter nights, this is a work you’ll definitely want to pick up.
HorizonNEW!ARTBAT
This track, released in November 2021 on their own label UPPERGROUND by the Ukraine-born duo ARTBAT who have taken the world by storm, is a masterpiece that represents an evolved form of melodic techno.
It opens with beautifully resonant arpeggios, then gradually builds with a powerful kick and a shimmering bassline, creating a feeling of exhilaration as if you’re racing toward the horizon.
In the mid-track breakdown, a dreamy, piano-like melody emerges, drawing the listener into a world of silence.
From there, the arrangement rises again, brilliantly fusing the lines between underground and pop.
While it boasts a grand soundscape perfect for experiencing at large-scale festivals, it also has the delicacy to shine in the intimate confines of a club.
It’s an ideal track for late-night drives or when you want to focus deeply on your work.
hell yeahNEW!Ella Eyre
Ella Eyre is a British singer-songwriter known for numerous hits, including her Brit Award-winning collaboration with Rudimental.
Her new release, unveiled in September 2025, showcases her soulful, powerful vocals.
The track blends a retro soul vibe with modern pop sensibilities, resulting in a positive, dynamic number.
The lyrics are striking for how they portray the tension between reason and emotion, ultimately celebrating the liberating feeling of following your heart.
This song is the lead single from her first album in about ten years, everything, in time.
It’s an irresistibly catchy track you’ll want to play when you need a boost or the courage to take a step forward—be sure to check it out.
Hours Outside in the SnowNEW!Modern Baseball
Modern Baseball, a pivotal band in the emo revival scene based out of Philadelphia.
This track, which closes their debut album “Sports” (November 2012), is a poignant piece that captures the tangled feelings for a love interest while standing outside in the snow on Christmas Eve.
Interweaving unrequited emotions and regret, the lyrics ultimately end not in bitterness but in gratitude, sinking deeply into the heart amid the stillness of winter.
The layering chorus that builds toward the end conveys a swell of emotion, and the passionate stacked vocals—reminiscent of Taking Back Sunday—leave a strong impression.
It’s the kind of song that gently keeps you company on a cold night spent lost in thought, or when you’re carrying a tender, aching love.
HelixNEW!Night Tapes
Are you familiar with Night Tapes, a London-based dream-pop trio? The group centers around Estonian-born vocalist Iiris Vesik, alongside producer/drummer Max Doohan and guitarist/producer Sam Richards, and they’ve been recording late-night sessions in a shared house since around 2019.
Released in June 2025, this track is a lead single from their debut album “portals // polarities,” which followed in September of the same year.
It explores the uncertainty at the start of a romance—unsure whether the person is a soulmate or a source of turmoil.
Its ethereal blend of airy synths and distorted guitars creates a dreamy soundscape that perfectly suits a nighttime winter drive on the highway, as if confronting the tremors of the heart.
It’s a song for those holding a mix of hope and anxiety—the feeling that the wrong person might just lead you to the right place.
High and DryNEW!Radiohead
Formed in Oxford, England in 1985 and making their major-label debut in 1992, Radiohead is a rock band that revolutionized the global music scene from the 1990s through the 2000s.
“Creep,” from their 1993 album Pablo Honey, became a worldwide hit, and their 1997 masterpiece OK Computer etched its name in music history as one of the defining albums of the 1990s with its innovative sound.
In 2010, they were named one of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Artists of All Time,” and in 2019 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
While rooted in alternative rock, their diverse musicality—embracing electronica and experimental music—continues to influence countless artists more than 30 years after their debut.
