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.

Compilation of Western songs with titles starting with “W” (51–60)

What’ll You Do About MeRandy Travis

Randy Travis, a leading figure in American country music.

When sung in his warm, polished baritone voice, it sounds like a devoted love song, but in reality it’s about one-sided obsession.

The track appears on his May 1987 album “Always & Forever,” a masterpiece that produced four singles which all reached No.

1 on the U.

S.

country charts.

Unable to let go of the person he spent a night with, the protagonist chases them relentlessly, blurring the line between pure love and madness.

The gentle melody and sweet vocals seem to highlight the underlying menace of the lyrics all the more.

There’s even a story that when Doug Supernaw later covered the song, the lyrics were considered problematic and some radio stations refused to play it.

Perhaps even pure affection can corner someone once it crosses a certain line.

War Isn’t MurderJesse Welles

Jesse Wells, a modern troubadour who emerged from social media, hails from the United States.

Released in April 2024, this work hurls piercing questions with nothing more than a gravelly voice and an acoustic guitar.

It confronts the reality that the word “murder” is being hollowed out by the lofty justifications brandished by those in power.

I can’t shake the feeling that his singing, asking “Isn’t this murder?” strikes directly at the heart.

This piece, which drew attention for his performance at Farm Aid, is also included on the album Under The Powerlines (April 24 – September 24).

It’s a song I especially want people to hear who ache over events in distant countries and are tormented by a sense of helplessness.

Its rugged resonance reveals an unvarnished truth.

War is a GodJesse Welles

Jesse Wells, a singer-songwriter from Arkansas who is often called the conscience of modern America.

In 2024, he was chosen as Saving Country Music’s inaugural Songwriter of the Year, a testament to his widely acclaimed talent.

Woven into this work is a searing question: Why must those who believe in the same God kill one another over a single interpretation of scripture? The words, carried by a quiet guitar, come across as a stern indictment of people who persist in conflict.

This piece is a track from the album “Middle,” set for release in February 2025.

When you feel the emptiness of consuming distant wars as mere information, why not listen to his voice and consider what we can do?

Water from the Same SourceRachel’s

Rachel’s, an American post-rock ensemble that forged a singular sonic world where serenity and grandeur coexist.

The project began in 1991 under guitarist Jason Noble, and took full flight when pianist Rachel Grimes and others joined.

As their music is often described as chamber music, instruments like cello, viola, and piano take center stage.

Their masterpiece Systems/Layers, released in October 2003, received high acclaim for its artistry, including a score of 81 on review aggregate sites.

Though instrumental, their music has the power to vividly evoke personal inner landscapes for each listener.

It’s the kind of sound you’ll want by your side on a night when you wish to steady your heart and immerse yourself in music.

We Are FamilySISTER SLEDGE

A track that carries the warmth of blood ties straight onto the dance floor.

Philadelphia’s sister group Sister Sledge wraps it all in pride, trust, and a touch of mischief.

Here, the narrator affirms solidarity with her sisters and crew, while a hefty bass and razor-sharp guitar drive the exhilaration higher.

Released as a single in April 1979.

Under the masterful hands of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, it hit No.

1 on the R&B chart and No.

2 on the pop chart.

Included on the album We Are Family, which also spawned hits like “He’s the Greatest Dancer” and “Lost in Music.” In 1979, it was adopted as an anthem by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Try it if you want to form a circle and raise your voices—at family anniversaries, wedding receptions, or your team’s kickoff.

Bully – Where To Start [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
Where To StartBully

Bully is an American rock project that revives the spirit of ’90s grunge for the modern era.

It currently operates as the solo project of founder Alicia Bognanno, who also honed her skills as an engineer at a renowned studio.

The project debuted in June 2015 with the album “Feels Like.” While it has no official awards, the 2023 release “Lucky for You” was selected for many year-end best-of lists by music media, earning widespread critical acclaim.

Alicia’s raw, scream-like vocals and guitar sound—heavy yet packed with pop hooks—are truly one-of-a-kind.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking both the ruggedness of grunge and catchy melodies.

Wasted DaysCloud Nothings

Cloud Nothings, from Ohio, USA, is a band that began in 2009 as Dylan Baldi’s solo project.

Their sound is a blend of the intensity of noise rock and post-hardcore with irresistibly singable pop elements—a “catchy noise” that’s their core appeal.

A major turning point came in 2012 with the acclaimed album Attack on Memory, produced by Steve Albini, famed for his work with Nirvana; it garnered Pitchfork’s Best New Music designation and drew worldwide attention.

Their raw, pummeling performances and Dylan’s near-screamed vocals feel like the spirit of ’90s grunge carried into the present.

They’re the perfect band for anyone seeking beautiful melodies shining through distorted walls of sound, or rock that delivers a visceral emotional jolt.
