Western AF presents | Benjamin Tod | “Wyoming”
…
I wrote this song over a decade ago with all the nihilism and despair that came with my youth. It was recorded on an older Lost Dog EP with my late friend Nicholas Ridout accompanying me.
It made it back onto ‘Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing’ being the realest example of the title. This song has been requested more than any other at shows or around the fire, but it never feels right to play without Nicholas.
I thought the only appropriate placement for its return would be an album like this. It’s cyclical I suppose, given that this song probably inspired the concept of this album. The subconscious is a dark and mysterious place. I really couldn’t tell you either way.

Why are these songs so haunting? It’s like Ben’s songs follow me around for a couple days after I hear them. Especially “paper & ink”. 😭 ❤️
Keep it up friend
You got me started with "The Mountain". This is my favorite tune of yours.
One of the greatest songs ever sung.
Not much makes me cry anymore, then I found this.
WAF brings amazing production value to these videos while still letting the music and musical artists be the shining center of the video.
The number of veiws this video got is more than the population of wyoming
This is one of the greatest songs I've heard in the last 20 years
TOD is a WAF GEM !!!
He's proven himself to be a great songwriter over the past few years. Always keep an eye out for what he'll put out next.
Well we found a new funeral song folks 🥃
If Hollywood ever does a remake of "Monty Walsh" this song needs to be the main score on the soundtrack….on second thought, let's not have Hollywood mess up any more great movies or songs…
Deep… Deeply rooted song 👆
First time on an the buffy rolling in dirt just cements the fact this channel is indeed WESTERN AF
One of a kind, the music is like no other there is a genuine feeling that is created like he has experienced the actual song it was life, not a thought or a feeling someone had and put it on paper.
I love this song. Wish I had that kinda talent
Beautiful.
Stickers!!! I’m in!!! Love your stuff brother. Throw some Benjamin Tod on. I’m sure you’d love it. 🖤🔧🖤🔧
Dude the songs you'd swear you'd never sing, are all the songs everyone wants you to sing. those feelings have weight.
This is probably my favorite song Ben has written.
hang in bud, stay sober and slam a couple of them stabilizers. enjoy dogs and mornings
Wow this is amazing thank you Benjamin

Már beírta a nevét a halhatatlanok klubjába.

I moved to Wyoming from Tennessee a year ago. Grateful to have found and hear your music. This song wrecks me every time with its honesty.
❤️😭
Worth every like ever
Great interpolation of The Pogues’ “Dirty Old Town”!
One of the best songwriters in the last 20 years this dude just gets what life is and how it should be lived vs how it plays out thanks Benjamin for living life
"well if life's a gamble then I bet the table on a pair of twos"
