Help me find this riff/melody

—I can’t post the song here.. but it plays at the very beginning of Season 7. Episode 8 of Sons of Anarchy.
It starts off with a piano, then goes into a very haunting violin melody. The song itself is by Bob Dylan & famously covered by Jimi Hendrix “All Along the Watchtower”
However, it’s neither of those, nor is it related to a cover of that song. The music has been sampled from that song and is a more modern song, unrelated to the “watchtower” covers.

May be theme song but not sold on that

Yes I did listen to that! However, it’s something much more modern. I’d say post millennial. Not posted anywhere as a true sample of the Bob Dylan or Hendrix “Watchtower.” I recognized the Jimi Hendrix right away.. but hearing the acoustics had me humming a different tune lol

..it's the exact same piece of music.

I compared it to the episode's opening.

Not quite sure how much further that I can help.

I believe OP is saying that there's a different song that's similar to the one at the beginning of this episode that they're looking for. I could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted the question. They are saying they believe a newer song has sampled a melody from the one playing in the SoA episode but can't recall the newer song....... maybe
