Some of my favourite songs in English language from A to Z.
- Подписаться
The title track of Carly Simon’s 1971 album «Anticipation» tells about the good you can find in uncertainty. «Anticipation, anticipation is making me late, is keeping me waiting» – what a clever line!
Long before Gwen Stefani decided she was no «Hollaback Girl», No Doubt were among the heroes of my teenage years. Bathwater, which first appeared on the 2000 album «Return from Saturn», has some of the most cringeworthy lyrics, which made me wonder if I would ever be able to love someone enough to «share a toothbrush».
I fell in love with the music of Tracy Chapman when I stumbled over a copy of the 1989 album «Crossroads» at a reduced price at some point during the early 2000s. I knew right away that she believes in every word she’s singing.
This song appeared on «Rumours» (1977), THE Fleetwood Mac album. I love this song because it bares a very distinctive and yet indescribable emotion that I never really managed to capture. It’s not happy, it’s not sad. It touches me, but I can’t really explain why.
It’s a hauntingly beautiful, piano-driven ballad that is just obscure enough to be still considered «artsy». The song was the second official single off the album «Far» in 2009.
Alicia Keys is one of the few singers whose songs I don’t find too interesting apart from the ones that were released as singles. «Fallin'» has that pure emotion that I love, which proves that Alicia Keys is at her best when she’s creating a song all by herself and without the help of four or five co-writers.
Love her or hate her, but Madonna is actually a great performance artist who brings to life both up-tempo songs and ballads. This is one of her more «conservative» songs on «Music» (2000). It’s a very simple composition, but it’s been stuck in my head ever since I heard it for the first time.
«Post» (1995) is probably the most «approachable» album in Björk’s catalogue. The stand-out track for me is «Hyperballad», a very intense track that made me feel like music was suddenly in 3D when I heard it for the first time.
Queen had many songs with that «epic» kind of feeling, but the title track of «Innuendo» (1991) is easily my favourite among them. «Through the sorrow all through our splendour don’t take offence at my innuendo» — well said.
While I’m not quite a «Jazzman» myself, there are some Jazz-influenced songs that I really like. Carole King’s pop song, which appeared on her 1974 album «Wrap Around Joy», embodies all the passion you can in whom I consider one of the greatest songwriters ever.
Язык песни: Английский
«The Kick Inside» (1978) is an eccentric album in the best way imaginable. «Kite» was actually the B-side to Kate Bush’s signature song «Wuthering Heights» but is actually even more brillant in terms of composition and arrangement.
Язык песни: Английский
«Luka», the lead single off «Solitude Standing» (1987) was Suzanne Vega’s biggest hit for a reason. It’s amazing how she manages to put troubling lyrics over a catchy pop tune without creating something disturbing.
I don’t know what it is that makes me love musicals. My brain tells me that they’re cheesy and have weird storylines and yet my heart can’t resist. «Memory» is probably my favourite Webber ballad and nobody sings it better than Elaine Page.
This ballad appeared on «Automatic for the People» (1992) and is one of those great R.E.M. ballads that find their strengths in minimalism. It’s undeniably cheesy, but in one of the most heartfelt ways imaginable.
This song appeared on Amanda Palmer’s debut album «Who Killed Amanda Palmer» in 2008. While it’s the genuine emotion that I love in many of the songs on this list, it’s Amanda Palmer’s dark sarcasm which I admire here.
Язык песни: Английский
«Bury the Hatchet» was released in 1999 but I could still listen to it on repeat every single day of my life. «Promises» is the kind of song you want to listen to after you’ve been deceived by someone because it helps you find empowerment in your anger.
For some reason, many of the songs on this list appeared on the artist’s debut album. «Queer» was the third single off «Garbage» in 1995. It took me some time to get into it (because it’s so different — how ironic!) but now it’s actually my favourite track on the album.
One of the songs from «Yes I Am» (1993), Melissa Etheridge’s most successful album. It is full of passion and showcases Melissa’s incredible talent of conveying the good and the bad that love can give us.
Язык песни: Английский
This song appeared on Alanis Morissette’s 2002 album «Under Rug Swept». Despite being an rather unknown track, I think it’s one of the most clever and thrilling compositions of her entire career.
I listened to this song so many times (mostly in my car) when it was released as the first single off Van Halen’s comeback album «A Different Kind of Truth» in 2012 that it’s now the most played track on my iTunes with a one-track title starting with a «T». I honestly didn’t see that coming.
Язык песни: Английский
«Uncharted» was included on «Kaleidoscope Heart» (2010), Sara Bareille’s second album (which was ironically her only album that charted at number 1) and proves one more time that there is no reason why poetry and pop music should be mutually exclusive.
I waited 13 years for Fiona Apple to release another album. «The Idler Wheel…» finally arrived in 2012 and included this tearful piano ballad: «You didn’t see my valentine, I sent it via pantomime while you were watchin’ someone else I stared at you and cut myself».
This was actually Annie Lennox’s debut single (taken from «Diva», 1992). Being one of the best vocalists on planet Earth, the singer delivers such an emotional performance in the studio version and various live versions that I consider this one of the key «heartbreak» songs in my life.
There are so many great Blondie songs to choose from, so I was glad they had one starting with «X». This one appeared on the band’s eponymous debut album in 1976 and set the pace for everything that was yet to come.
This song from «Become You» (2002) is most likely one of Amy Ray’s most light-hearted compositions, but it’s actually that simplicity that makes this song so great. Who cares what your friends and family think? It’s our love that matters. So true.
Язык песни: Английский
This song was featured on the soundtrack of «Bulworth» (1998). I’m by no means an expert in hip hop music but this one has pretty clever lyrics in the context of the film.
Язык песни: Английский
“Roar.” “Royals.” “Radioactive.” Notice a common thread among these recent hits? The number of charting songs with one-word titles continues to grow, with single-monikered tracks now making up nearly a third of the Billboard Hot 100 each week. To explore this trend, we’ve delved into the Hot 100 archives to formulate this chart of the top 50 biggest one-word hits.
Why Hit Songs Now Have One-Word Titles
The ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.

If we include titles where the one word is a name I can think of plenty. Laura, Cecilia, Mary, Reynardine, Stan, Talulua, etc. Still that might be too easy so I’ll hold off on those until I get an okay.

Jars Of Clay’s self-titled debut was full of memorable one-word song titles
The one-word song title conveys a certain sense of bravado. It is an artist’s way of saying, “Out of all the words in the English language, I’ve found the very core. The black-hole singularity. The optimus prime.” How did a certain Mr. Nelson solidify himself as a musical genius? He changed his name to one word (Prince) and produced the (technically) one-word-titled 1999. How did U2 take over Live Aid and become a worldwide phenomenon? I can answer in one word: “Bad.” How did they follow that up? With another one-word title: “One!” Here, then, are some of the most important one-word song titles in contemporary Christian music history.
10. P.O.D., “Boom “
Now that’s how to use a single-word title. Boom! Enough said. P.O.D.’s anthem spent ten weeks on Billboard’s alternative chart in 2002.
9. Third Day, “Thief”
Was there ever a song better suited for Mac Powell’s vocal? Set to haunting piano, this Easter song really does convey its heart through the title.
8. Steven Curtis Chapman, “Dive”
“Dive”, from the one-word titled Speechless, released in 1999? Of course it was a mega-hit! I’ll bet you have that bouncy synth running through your ears right now.
NEEDTOBREATHE
7. NEEDTOBREATHE (feat. Gavin DeGraw), “Brother “
Listen to the intro for this song from the band’s excellent Live From The Woods to get a full sense of its importance to the legacy of NEEDTOBREATHE. And if you have a brother, drop him a line of encouragement.
6. Lecrae, “Killa”
By 2010’s Rehab, Lecrae had entered the mainstream consciousness and become the rare hip-hop artist to crack the CHR genre. “Killa” established the album’s strong theme, and gets bonus points for being a one-word song title that’s even shorter than the word it represents.
[Author’s Note: Let’s pause this list right here in the middle to give an antithetical shout-out to David Crowder*Band, who so eschewed the unity of this list that they created a song entitled: “(Repeat/return) Or When The Seventh Angel Sounded His Trumpet, And There Were Loud Voices in Heaven, Which Said: ‘The Kingdom of the World Has Become the Kingdom of Our Lord and of His Christ, and He Will Reign Forever and ever, Etc…’. Don’t you think for a second that “Undignified” makes up for this in any way, Mr. Crowder.]
Lecrae
5. Rich Mullins, “Creed”
Christian music’s revered bard left this statement of faith on his masterpiece, A Liturgy, A Legacy, & A Ragamuffin Band. Setting the Apostles’ Creed to hammered dulcimer? Sounds just like Rich.
4. God’s Property & Kirk Franklin, “Stomp”
G.P. are you wit’ me? This was the punch in the gut for “those that think that gospel music has gone too far.” Never has a one-word single title worked so well in the song itself. It makes me wanna—wait for it for just a beat—stomp!
Newsboys
3. Newsboys, “Shine”
The song that topped our recent Newsboys ranking is the only bonafide classic that can claim to name-drop Oprah and rhyme “ballet” with “happy.”
2. Jars of Clay, “Flood”
Jars exploded onto the national scene with this driving deluge, on an album that deserves extra credit on this list for its other notables: “Liquid,” “Sinking,” “He,” and “Blind.”
1. Michael W. Smith, “Friends”
There is a strict line of demarcation formed by the very first line of this classic. Walk into any multi-generational church setting and sing, “Packing up the dreams God planted” and you’ll see three groups form right away: one (the youngest) will offer blank stares, one will groan, and the last will wave their hands near their face as if to fan away tears of heartfelt recognition. That’s the sort of emotion that earns Smitty the coveted No. 1 spot.
