Ryan Bingham – The Weary Kind
Opening December 16th is the long awaiting movie “Crazy Heart” about a broken-down, hard-living country music singer and his road to redemption. It’s a limited release (but is already getting Oscar buzz) with Jeff Bridges, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, Maggie Gyllenhaal and our own Ryan Bingham & the Dead Horses as the backing band. You can see the trailer over at crazyheartmovie.com
The soundtrack was done by T. Bone Burnett and the featured song, “The Weary Kind”, is penned and produced by himself and Ryan Bingham. I would have never dreamed this combination would work, but it’s one of the best recorded songs I’ve heard Bingham put out.

Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don’t feel like home anymore
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your body aches…
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same
Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn’t forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your lovers won’t kiss…
It’s too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world
Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind

Such a beautiful tune. Such a soulful voice. I ache to tears every time I listen to it. Saw the movie for the second time last night (first was at the premiere in L.A.!) and loved it again. A beautiful project overall. I hope this songs wins “best” because it is. It’s haunting in its beauty.

This song gets in your head and just wont let go. There’s just something about the words and melody…..damn!
LG1726 on January 13th, 2010
Its like Bob Dylan met country
eks on January 15th, 2010
I agree…. I ran into this song accidentally and really enjoyed it. it has a classic feel to it. beautiful song.

This song just inspired me to write a story. I feel that it’s genuine and I absolutely love the sound. This guy doesn’t need any back up singers to support the meaning or the tone of the piece. And it truly is a “weary kind” of song, which seldom appears in music anymore in my opinion. I love this song now.

Not a great song, just generic, oh-weary me formula.
Real Austin musicians are laughing at this.
Ryan on January 18th, 2010
Care to list these Austin Musicians that are laughing? Most musicians I’ve talked to are very proud of Ryan and what he’s done with this song.
But then again I’m not sure I care. Most “Austin” Musicians will still be in Austin becuase all they can do is bitch and not write Golden Globe winners. or maybe I’ll care when T-bone Burrnet calls them…

Do you know when the movie Crazy Heart opens everywhere in theatres? I’ve heard sometime in January or Febuary?
Ryan on January 19th, 2010
@kaoudj – Last word I heard was Feb 5th is the nationwide release
kaoudj on January 21st, 2010
Thank you!
ST on January 25th, 2010
Heard Ryan Bingham when he came to Arizona and he’s very original. Was delightfully surprised to hear his voice when watching the Crazy Heart trailer. Very cool. Beautiful song. Congratulations to him and T-Bone Burnett.

does anyone have the mp3 for “i dont know”
Bama on November 23rd, 2009
I was just browsing around trying to find release information for the movie and ended up on the IMDB message boards where people were talking about the song (and showing Bingham some love). A couple people were willing to fight to the death that it was Springsteen singing.
