A collection of Western songs with titles that start with “W”
When it comes to songs with titles that start with “W,” do any come to mind?
We don’t usually pay attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might be hard to think of examples right away.
That said, when it comes to English words starting with “W,” there are interrogatives like “What,” “Where,” and “Who,” and just from those alone, there must be plenty of songs!
There are also words like “Walk,” “Wonder,” and “Word,” which all sound like they could appear in song titles.
In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “W.”
By searching for music from a perspective you might not have considered before, you may discover new tracks.
