The song is instrumental, it has no lyrics, but it shows a epic progression that fits perfectly the mood of the TV series.

Among his works there are soundtracks for many popular movies and TV shows, like many chapters of Fast & Furious, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Now You See Me and the recent reissues of Rambo and Scream. Among the TV Series, he worked on the soundtracks of Transformers: Prime, Sleepy Hollow and Scorpion, among many others.

Is it the same song as Game of Thrones?

The question arose often in last years, because Yellowstone and Game of Thrones main themes sounds very similar. Nevertheless, they are not the same song. Game Of Thrones main theme has been composed in 2011 by Ramin Djawadi, years ago before the release of Yellowstone first season (in 2018)
