"Frank Ocean wrote a fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every way, there just wasn’t a scene for it," Quentin Tarantino said earlier this month about the song the R&B balladeer wrote for his latest movie, "Django Unchained," that he had to regrettably cut. "I could have thrown it in quickly just to have it, but that’s not why he wrote it and not his intention. So I didn’t want to cheapen his effort. But, the song is fantastic, and when Frank decides to unleash it on the public, they’ll realize it then.”
Well, Ocean's decided to unleash this truly fantastic song on the public all right, as the singer took to Twitter last night to do just that. "Django was ill without it," he wrote, pointing to his Tumblr where he had uploaded the song.

It's a pretty gorgeous song that people have already affectionately dubbed "Wiseman." The lyrics are here and an embed is below. Be forewarned though: you're going to have this on repeat all day.
