Musical Themes and Song Topics Index

This index of song themes will help you find appropriate songs for playlists and presentations based on subject matter. Song suggestions mentioned in articles are based more on lyrical content than popularity. This resource can be helpful to DJs, media producers and party planners of reunions and events involving historical significance.

Anniversaries and reunions involve timelines whereas holidays, birthdays and other celebrations revolve more around emotional themes. The reason themes are important to songwriting in the new century is they help songs stand out better and offer definitive detail that's important to online surfers as well as search engines.
