A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'P'
In this article, I’ll be introducing classic Western songs whose titles start with the letter “P.” When you think of English words that begin with “P,” terms like “Peace,” “Party,” and “Picture” come to mind—some of you might already be thinking of a few songs just from seeing those words.
I don’t think many of us have had the chance to specifically seek out and listen only to songs that start with a particular letter.
But looking at them this way might help you discover tracks you didn’t know or lead to new findings.
I’d be delighted if this becomes an opportunity for you to encounter some new music.

Paint The Town BlueAshnikko
Ashnikko is an American singer-songwriter who effortlessly spans a wide range of genres, including pop, hip-hop, and electronic.
Her track “Paint The Town Blue” was created for the soundtrack of the hugely popular Netflix animated series Arcane Season 2.
Released in September 2024, the song centers on the character Jinx, skillfully portraying her rebellious and destructive inner world.
Its energetic beats and striking lyrics create an atmosphere that will appeal not only to fans of the anime but also to anyone seeking powerful music.
PsychoAsking Alexandria
Asking Alexandria, who emerged in the late 2000s and drew attention with a hybrid metalcore sound that skillfully incorporated electro while increasingly embracing an authentic hard rock edge, now enjoy enduring popularity as one of the UK’s representative rock bands.
These days they continue to deliver their own brand of rock unconstrained by genre, and Psycho, released in 2023, is a killer tune that blends contemporary pop elements with dynamic guitar work and a hook-laden melody that sticks in your head.
It’s a track that seems to encapsulate their journey, and the lyrics—where chaos and pleasure intertwine—are also a highlight.
PickpocketAt The Drive-In
Formed in El Paso, Texas in 1994, At the Drive-In is one of the most prominent ’90s post-hardcore bands, widely recognized in Japan as well.
In the 2000s, they took the scene by storm with an edgy musical approach.
They’re also known for featuring Cedric Bixler and Omar Rodríguez, members of The Mars Volta—a group that reunited in 2022 after a long hiatus and released new material—and their wildly intense, unhinged performances have become the stuff of legend.
Their major-label debut, Relationship of Command, released in 2000 and produced by Ross Robinson, who at the time worked with heavyweights like Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot, garnered huge acclaim, but the band broke up shortly afterward.
They reunited in 2011, embarked on a world tour, and released new work, but later announced another hiatus.
Among the records they left in the ’90s—especially In/Casino/Out—there’s no question it stands as a masterpiece of ’90s post-hardcore.
While moving far beyond their rough early sound, their playing and production took a major leap forward: interlocking, off-kilter guitar riffs; Cedric’s high-energy vocals veering from freewheeling yelps to melodic lines; and a definitive presentation of the signature At the Drive-In sound.
If you’ve only heard Relationship of Command, be sure to check out their ’90s releases!
Pick Up The PiecesAverage White Band
Average White Band is a group from Scotland with a distinguished history in funk and R&B, formed in London in 1972.
Their signature track Pick Up the Pieces and albums AWB and Cut the Cake, among others, captivated many fans with their rhythmic and distinctive sound.
Although the band went through a difficult period due to the tragic death of drummer Robbie McIntosh, they have continued their musical journey since reuniting in 1989.
Their name—seemingly a self-deprecating nod to being a white rather than a black band—is also intriguing.
If you’re curious about soul music made by non–African American artists, be sure to give them a listen.
Power Of The BeastBeast In Black
A new song has arrived from Beast in Black, the five-piece from Finland.
Their music—melding Nordic-style lyrical melodies with powerful, traditional heavy metal—has earned high praise in Japan as well.
Released in June 2024, this track is a strong anthem about awakening one’s inner strength and finding the courage to overcome adversity.
It features an energetic sound inspired by ’80s hard rock and speed metal.
Yannis Papadopoulos’s commanding vocals and the band’s dynamic instrumentation create a must-hear soundscape.
Give it a listen when you need a boost of courage!
