Collection of Western songs with titles starting with “Y” (171–180)

Year 3000Busted

It’s a bit old, but when it comes to Western music that’s mischievous and energizing school rock, this is the song! It’s super happy and uplifting, so I think it would make a bright and fun atmosphere as BGM for a classroom-based game segment.

You’re So VainCarly Simon

“Maybe you get a thrill out of striking a cool pose and making everyone turn their heads, but you’re an empty man whose only pleasure is that”—that sharp female perspective felt very fresh in those days.

A self-reliant woman with a keen eye who chooses men with discernment—if everyone were like that, we wouldn’t have sad love songs.

You’ve Got A FriendCarol King

Carol, who can sing acoustic love songs with aching poignancy.

The difficulty level is quite high, but it’s a perfect choice to challenge yourself—a masterpiece among masterpieces.

Her voice is a bit husky, so it might be hard to get close to her sound.

Still, if you lean into the mood, you might be able to bring out that sense of bittersweetness.

You Raise Me UpCeltic Woman

As a perfect Western song for a wedding recessional, Celtic Woman’s “You Raise Me Up” begins with a violin intro and carries a sacred atmosphere.

In 2006, figure skater Shizuka Arakawa used it for her Olympic exhibition program, which rapidly boosted its recognition in Japan.

With lyrics that say, “You always give me strength,” it’s ideal for newlyweds who will support each other throughout their long lives together.

Featuring a clear, beautiful vocal quality, it’s recommended for those who want a gentle and moving finale.

Truly, it’s a wonderful choice to create a moment that will remain a lifelong memory.

You and your SisterChris Bell

The song “You and Your Sister” by American musician Chris Bell, who was active in the 1970s, stands out for its beauty on his only solo album, I Am the Cosmos.

Released in 1978, this acoustic ballad portrays deep affection and subtle emotional fluctuations, and is often compared to Big Star’s “Thirteen.” Its lyrics center on family bonds—especially the profound connection and complex love between siblings—conveying a message that resonates deeply with listeners.

Combined with the gentle melody of the acoustic guitar, it offers warmth and comfort.

Reflecting on love and loss, this song is a soothing, restorative work you’ll want to listen to when your heart feels weary.
