42 Best Wind Songs – Songs With Wind in the Title
Last Updated: June 12, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
Not many people like the wind as part of the weather. However, wind can create power when harnessed. Look at the windmill farms and the power that is saved to help power cities.
Wind can be in many forms like gusts and blowing too. The wind has created many cliches like riding like the wind and blowing in the wind.
The wind is one of the four elements along with fire, water, and earth. We harness the word wind in a list of wind songs.
Each song has the word wind in the song title. It is not a homage to the windy city, of Chicago, either. Enjoy our wind songs.
