A haunting song with a Friday the 13th release? Oscar and Grammy winning singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham really nailed it with this one. Fans of Yellowstone and the artist who plays "Walker" in the hit western drama have a lot to look forward to this weekend. First up is Bingham's new single titled "A Song For The Stone," which is set to release at midnight on December 13th. Then comes the moment that fans have either been waiting for or dreading for years - the end of Yellowstone. At the very least, it's officially the series finale of the flagship show. In the past couple of days, it has been confirmed that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will reprise their roles as Beth and Rip for a Yellowstone spinoff, which is expected to be a continuation of the show. But getting back to the new music at hand, though Bingham is officially releasing the single tonight, fans of Yellowstone have actually already heard the new track. "A Song For The Stone" was featured in Episode 9 of Season 5 ("Desire Is All You Need"). Bingham's character "Walker" plays the tune when Rip Wheeler requests that he play a sad song. Of course, that harkens back to the early previous seasons when Walker asks them if they want to hear a happy or sad song and he plays "All Choked Up Again." And Colby (RIP) famously says "If that's your happy, don't you ever play me goddamn sad." It's definitely a somber one, and a song that Ryan Bingham penned solely for the Yellowstone show. It's the first song that he's ever created as an original track for the hit series, and there's a reason why he waited this long to do so. Bingham didn't want to craft a song specifically for Yellowstone until it felt authentic and could act as a tribute to his experience on the drama that's meant so much to so many: “I’d like to dedicate this song to all the Yellowstone fans out there, all the cast and crew, and all the folks that have made this whole thing possible over the years. It’s been a pretty amazing journey, and I’m honored to just be a part of. It’s taken me a while to write this song, but sometimes you’ve got to live it before you can write it.” And it's clear that he genuinely meant that when you really listen and digest the lyrics of the "A Song For The Stone." The track can very easily act as a theme song for Yellowstone, as you'll be able to gather by reading through some of the poignant lyrics: "It's a choice you make Live and die alone Ride high and shoot low from the saddle When you ride for the Yellowstone I can promise you there's a special place Deep in the mountains of a lonesome road It never gives more than it takes There's always a train at the station on the Yellowstone" The official release of "A Song For The Stone" is coming a bit later today (about an hour from now at the time of publishing), but fans can opt to listen to a fireside version of the song that's already been posted to YouTube if they can no longer wait. Bingham posted the outstanding visual video - crickets and the sound of the crackling campfire included - to his YouTube channel earlier today.
