Listen to Scott Weiland's Unreleased Song 'If I Could Fly' on the 10th Anniversary of His Death

Marking a decade since the death of Scott Weiland, the iconic Stone Temple Pilots frontman, fans are finally hearing a song from his personal archive for the first time. The track, titled If I Could Fly, was initially released for Record Store Days Black Friday and is now available on all streaming platforms.

Weilands official social media account described the release as the first unheard song from Scotts archive since he left us. The post explained that the track was written in 2000, shortly after the birth of his son, Noah.

In the chorus, Weiland sings to his newborn son: If I could fly I would pick you up and keep you safe from the headlights. If I could fly I would lift you up and pull you out of the mudslide.

Scott Weiland passed away on December 3, 2015, at 48 due to an accidental drug overdose. Until now, his estate had not released any posthumous material from his archives, making If I Could Fly a highly anticipated debut of previously unheard music.

The release has been described as personal, raw, and a reminder of the heart that ran through all his work. Weilands legacy, spanning Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver, numerous awards, and over 50 million albums sold, is highlighted by tracks like this that continue to connect fans across generations. The song is said to bridge two generations and offers a rare glimpse into the artists private world.

Alongside the release, Noah Weiland, now 25 and a singer himself, will honor his father with a tribute concert in Orange County, California. The performance will feature Scotts most famous songs as well as some lesser-known tracks. Jakob Nowell, son of the late Sublime singer Bradley Nowell, will also be part of the event.
