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 compilation of Western songs with titles starting with “S” (241–250)

Sail On SailorThe Beach Boys

This is a single from the Beach Boys’ 1973 album Holland.

Unlike their traditionally cheerful sound, it’s a bluesy track whose soulful vocals by Blondie Chaplin seep deep into the heart.

Its powerful sound is like a ship tossed by rough seas.

In the vast ocean of life, don’t we all sometimes get caught in a storm and feel on the verge of losing our way? Singing “Sail on, sailor,” this song will surely give you a strong push forward in those moments.

When you want to steel yourself to continue a difficult voyage, why not lend an ear to this soul-stirring anthem of encouragement?

Surf’s UpThe Beach Boys

A symphonic masterpiece where The Beach Boys’ artistry reaches its zenith.

Originally composed for the once-mythic album Smile and then shelved, it carries a dramatic backstory.

Brian Wilson’s delicate piano lines and the grand, kaleidoscopic melody that unfolds with dazzling turns seem to quietly permeate the listener’s innermost heart.

You might feel a bit perplexed at first by the philosophical lyrics—such as the notion that “children raise adults.” Yet as you listen again and again, you’ll surely be captivated by its profound beauty.

Why not linger and immerse yourself in the boundless possibilities of music as an art form?

Simmer DownThe Wailing Wailers

This monumental track marked the beginning of the careers of Bob Marley and his peers—who would go on to become reggae legends—and was released as The Wailing Wailers’ debut single in 1964.

It carries a message urging the hot-blooded youths known as “rude boys,” who were causing a stir on the streets of Kingston at the time, to calm down.

The Skatalites provide superb backing, and the buoyant ska rhythm is so infectious it makes your body move before you know it.

This knack for pairing serious themes with a cheerful beat is, arguably, the very essence of Jamaican music.

This is a song by the UK’s rising star Elliot James Ray that sings of bittersweet dependence and aching longing hidden beneath sweet romance.

Released in June 2025 as a track on the EP “All This to Say I Love You,” this song might melt your heart with its tale of love that’s sweet—and just a little dangerous.

Serving as a prologue to their ninth album, following their previous work Hollywood Forever—which reached No.

18 on the Active Rock chart—this is a powerful track meant especially for those struggling in a darkness where no exit is in sight.

Knowing that he endured a crushing setback in June 2023 and released this piece exactly two years later makes his resolve all the more moving.

The lyrics—facing down the terror of nights when you feel you’re not enough, and pledging to rise again regardless—are nothing less than the cry of his heart.

Following the landmark album “Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent,” this new work is sure to rouse the spirit of anyone confronting life’s walls.
