Yes, you can say "from the beginning" instead of "from the start". One of these phrases is not more common than the other, both phrases are used the same amount. Whether you use "from the beginning" or "from the start" depends on the context and flow of the rest of the sentence. For example, here, he uses "from the start" because "from the beginning" would be too long to say, and therefore not fit the rhythm of the song.
