Dierks Bentley released a new song, “Hold the Light,” from the upcoming film, Only the Brave.
Only the Brave is based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite firefighters that lost their lives in the tragic Yarnell Hill wildfire that devastated parts of Arizona in 2013. The movie, which stars Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, Taylor Kitsch, Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Connelly, opens nationwide on Oct. 20.
Dierks’ new tune, which also features S. Carey, is available now at all digital retailers and streaming outlets.
Dierks, S. Carey, Joe Trapanese and Jon Randall co-penned the tune that pays tribute to the Hotshots.
“This is at the top, if not the most meaningful experience I’ve ever been a part of,” said Dierks. “It hits me harder than any other song I’ve had a chance to be a part of. Over the last couple years I’ve met and gotten to know Brendan, the sole survivor, and my mom has met with some of the guys’ families, and it’s still unfathomable to put yourself in any of their shoes. But, our goal was to create a message of hope and love. I’m honored to have been a part of it.”
