The Best Piano Songs – Songs With Piano In The Title
Last Updated: June 21, 2022 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
September has been designated as Piano Month. In the celebration of Piano Month, we thought we would create a list of the top songs that have “piano” in the song title.
In order to celebrate Piano Month, we also assembled a list of popular songs that have the piano as a prominent musical instrument. We are happy to see mainstream songs in many different music styles such as rock, country rock, pop, and dance.
The piano is a prominent instrument in the songs below that can be played as a keyboard and through a Grand piano. Enjoy our list of piano songs.
Best Songs About Pianos
Piano In The Dark – Brenda Russell
1988, Brenda Russell
Soul
Piano Man – Billy Joel
1973, Piano Man
Rock
As you can see above, we only listed two songs instead of ten songs. The reason for this is that we just couldn’t find any other really good mainstream songs that have the word piano in the song title. Then, we came up with the idea of creating a list of great songs that have a strong piano in the song itself. This created a much more broad list.
