A compilation of Western songs with titles that start with 'S'

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

We 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.

However, there are plenty of English words that start with “S,” like “Start,” “Shake,” “Season,” and “Save.”

In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles beginning with “S,” regardless of era or genre.

You might discover something new by grouping songs in a way you haven’t considered before!

A Collection of Western Songs with Titles Starting with “S” (71–80)

Smile In Your SleepSilverstein

The contrast between beautifully painful melodies and screams that feel like an explosion of emotion—that’s the true essence of 2000s screamo.

And few embody that appeal better than the Canadian band Silverstein.

This work can be interpreted as portraying the turmoil of love and hatred in a protagonist who has discovered the betrayal hidden behind a peaceful sleeping face.

The moment the vocals shift from pristine cleans to impassioned screams is truly spine-tingling, shaking the listener to the core.

The album that features this track, their breakout release Discovering the Waterfront, came out in August 2005 and reached No.

34 on the U.

S.

charts.

It’s perfect for those who want both strong melodies and intensity.

Give it a listen when you want to channel the pain of heartbreak or the anger of betrayal into something cathartic.

Vienova are a Berlin four-piece drawing attention with a hybrid sound that vaults over the confines of metalcore, swallowing elements of rap and the textures of ’80s synths.

This track opens their surprise debut album HIT IT!, released in September 2025, and serves as a perfect calling card for the band.

It embodies their self-styled “angry dance music,” where hard-edged guitar riffs collide with a funky groove that makes your body bounce.

The lyrics, brimming with biting satire about the realities of the music industry, are excellent, showcasing their cool sense of playfulness to exhilarating effect.

For anyone who finds conventional heavy music lacking, this is a thrilling, irresistible listen.

Laura Young, a London-born singer-songwriter who shot to prominence after earning her first UK No.

1 with “Messy” in 2024, is a BRIT-nominated talent whose emotionally rich voice—shaped by her multicultural background—captivates listeners.

In September 2025, she released a work that stands as a powerful ballad striking at the core of her album I’m Only F**king Myself.

The song tells a piercing story of self-acceptance in the face of self-destructive impulses.

Its urgent emotions—reaching out to touch the very symbols of fear in an effort to transcend vulnerability—hit home over a soundscape reminiscent of ’90s grunge.

It’s a track that will surely give you strength when you want to confront your own weaknesses.

Seven YearsSaosin

Saosin is a post-hardcore band that has wielded two charismatic frontmen—its original vocalist and his successor—and has had a major impact on the scene.

This track, included on their landmark debut EP “Translating the Name,” released in June 2003, is a song that can truly be called their origin point.

Bearing the weight of “seven years,” its searing emotions—torn between regret and self-justification—are rendered through the contrast of Anthony Green’s beautiful clean vocals and his impassioned screams.

From the delicate guitar arpeggios to the avalanche of cathartic intensity that follows, the song is nothing short of breathtaking.

The frenzy when this piece was performed on the 2014 tour marking the original vocalist’s return is still the stuff of legend.

It’s a killer tune that distills the lyricism and destructive energy at the heart of screamo.

Super FreakRick James

This is a quintessential funk tune created in 1981 by Rick James—an icon of the funk world known for his wild, larger-than-life lifestyle.

Built around an unforgettable bassline that sticks in your head after a single listen, its groove is pure dynamite, with flashy synths and horns intertwining to stunning effect.

The lyrics depict a provocative, unconventional character, perfectly embodying the “punk funk” style he championed.

Featured on the classic album Street Songs, the track later became famous for being sampled in M.

C.

Hammer’s hit, which led to James winning a Grammy as a songwriter.

It has also been used in films such as Batman Returns.

SuperstitionStevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder has created numerous timeless masterpieces that transcend the boundaries of soul music.

A multi-instrumentalist who can handle most instruments, he truly deserves to be called a genius.

Among his works, the song I’d like to recommend is this classic.

Known in Japan under the title “Superstition,” it warns of the dangers of living bound by baseless folklore and superstitions.

Released as a single in October 1972, it reached No.

1 in the U.

S.

in early 1973.

Featured on the legendary album “Talking Book,” its surging clavinet groove is endlessly cool no matter how many times you listen.

Joey Bada$$, a rapper who carries the sound of hip-hop’s 90s golden era into the present.

He’s also found success as an actor—his starring short film even won at the 93rd Academy Awards—showcasing his seemingly boundless versatility.

After about three years, he released his fourth album, “Lonely at the Top,” in August 2025.

This song is one of the tracks featured on that album.

The beat, crafted by his Pro Era ally Kirk Knight, evokes the Neptunes who set early-2000s clubs ablaze, and Joey’s confident bars are on fire throughout.

Brye Steves delivers a highly addictive hook as the guest feature—an absolute must-listen if you want to get hyped for a weekend drive or party.
