A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “L”

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

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

That said, when it comes to English words starting with “L,” there’s “Love,” and just that alone probably accounts for hundreds of songs.

There are also plenty of other words that seem likely to appear in song titles, like “Last,” “Lady,” and “Little.”

In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “L,” regardless of era or genre.

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

Compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'L' (91–100)

Land of the FreeGamma Ray

This is a track by Gamma Ray, a titan of German metal, featuring guitarist Kai Hansen returning to vocal duties for the first time in about eight years.

It appears on the classic album Land of the Free, released in May 1995.

Some listeners may feel it boldly proclaims pride in metal during a time when people whispered that “metal is dead.” The song portrays a cry of the soul yearning for freedom and release from oppression.

The powerful choral parts—featuring former Helloween ally Michael Kiske among others—echo a fierce determination to seize hope without yielding to hardship, stirring the hearts of those who listen.

It’s a song that gives you a strong push forward when you’re trying to overcome something.

LiabilityLorde

A piano ballad of aching beauty sung by Lorde, the New Zealand artist with a singular worldview.

Over a quiet piano, she delivers a whisper-soft confession of self-loathing and loneliness—“I’m a liability to someone”—that tightens around the heart.

Many of us have felt that painful distance from someone we love, or the anxiety that our very presence might be a burden.

On nights when those inescapable emotions threaten to overwhelm you, doesn’t this song feel like a gentle companion murmuring, “You’re not alone”? A gem that transforms pain into beauty.

Hailing from Sweden and known for their striking style of always donning black-and-white suits, The Hives deliver a thrilling rock ’n’ roll anthem.

This track is a pure embodiment of rebellious spirit, shouting “Make living itself legal” in defiance of society’s suffocating atmosphere and unreasonable rules! With unique lyrics—like using garden gnomes as a metaphor—it sharply satirizes the everyday oppression lurking around us.

It’s a lead single from the album “The Hives Forever Forever The Hives,” set for release in August 2025, and the fact that Mike D of the Beastie Boys took part as producer has become a major talking point.

Put it on when you want to blow away your daily frustrations, and it just might leave you feeling totally refreshed.

Love IsAlannah Myles

This is the landmark debut single released in 1989 by Canadian artist Alannah Myles.

Issued ahead of her global smash hit “Black Velvet,” it showcased her powerful appeal to the music scene.

With a blues-based, hard-edged rock sound, it stood apart from the glitzy pop of the time.

Riding a straightforward guitar riff, her husky voice boldly sings about “what love is,” leaving a strong impression.

Her vocals feel like they strike you not with reason but with soul, perhaps perfectly capturing both the intensity and purity that love can hold.

Love Is a Losing GameAmy Winehouse

This is an achingly poignant masterpiece by Amy Winehouse, the singer from England.

True to its title, “Love Is a Losing Game,” it sings of the futility of a love you know will never be rewarded, no matter how hard you try.

Even after giving everything, you’re left behind in the end, with a crushing sense of defeat and helplessness.

Anyone who’s worn themselves down in a barren, one-sided love will feel the sting of this hopeless situation all too well.

Her voice—deep and tinged with resignation—doesn’t console so much as it quietly stays beside the pain.

It’s a song that seeps into your heart on nights when you’re burdened with sorrow that has nowhere to go.

This is a song by Audioslave, the American supergroup formed by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and members of Rage Against the Machine.

It is said to portray the state of mind of someone at the end of their life, quietly waiting to reunite with a loved one in the afterlife.

The late Chris Cornell’s powerful yet heartrending vocals gently embrace profound themes of solitude and mortality.

You can almost picture someone waiting alone, like a stone, in complete stillness for that moment to come.

Coupled with a guitar solo that feels like an inexpressible cry from the heart, it’s an affecting track that squeezes the chest with an unbearable loneliness.
