They created and wrote the show since season 1, the music wouldn't exist without them. Nobody cares if you hated season 8, go watch some other show you ungrateful and toxic nerd.
Coming from a recording of this same orchestra performing Lord of the Rings pieces, I can perfectly understand why. It's not the orchestra. It's the music. I don't, for the life of me, understand why GoT music is praised as high as it is.

State funded, I might add. The tickets are cheap and the orchestra gets to try new things, instead of just catering to the usual concert-goers. All that, in one of the worlds best concert-halls.
iGottaRandomName So the poorer working class lad has to pay so that a small group of music lover can go to a concert to watch this. Well fuck, sorry to the people that don’t like this music, your paying for it whether you like it or not.
@@sebastianlodge7549 That is one of the most important differences in way of thinking between Denmark and USA you are touching on here! We, in general of course, do not "hate" to pay taxes, to make things like this possible in so many different areas of culture, sports etc. Sometimes it is for something you are personally interested in, and sometimes it is for your next door neighbour, even if you yourself are not in the least interested. Personally I have worked outdoors low pay jobs all my worklife ( retired now, when I was 61 ), and I very much appreciate this, even though i preferred the Tolkien piece, that "lead" Me here in the first place. The attitude you are presenting for us here, is also exactly why, so many in USA do not seem to have a problem with 45.000 people dying every year for lack of healthcare. That is not, who we are, as a people.
Kurt.Dk-55 I’m Australian not American. So yeh, big assumption. I personally have no problem with public healthcare. It prevents disease outbreaks that effect me and saves lives. It is just the arts and non essential things like wifi, that I don’t think everyone else should have to pay for. But each to their own, I have full respect for Denmark, and hope to go one day.
@@sebastianlodge7549 'But mate, this is essential. Countries are formed because of art, music and culture, especially countries like in Europe ( I do not only mean Europe) were it has thousands of years of history. What is a country or a certain type of people without their culture, art and music? Also Denmark has a population of 5,8 million and is the 33st richest country. I do not think the poorer working class really feel the costs of funding this, but that's a personal opinion. Also if you think about it, not only the musicians are paid with that money. How about the light technicians, audio technicians, cameraworkers, script writers, film directors, bar personal, cleaners, PR workers and the list goes on. Always think about the bigger picture my friend. This place also creates a lot of work.
It's much darker than that. As another ASOIAF fan wrote, the muffled screams of the young choir girls represent the sounds of the children drowning in the basement when Tywin Lannister torched and then flooded the castle of the Reyne family, and killed all members of House Reyne of Castamere. "The Rains of Castamere" is played to foreshadow a cruel action by House Lannister, reminding us of how it destroyed a vassal house that did not honor its pledge to House Lannister. It's played from the start of The Red Wedding scene, where Catelyn Stark, her son Robb, his pregnant wife, and unarmed men of the Stark army were slaughtered.
I've heard people say that G.R.R. Martin is an average writer who only reached fame thanks to the show, and so on. But reading the books, and seeing how the show has ended, I can say with absolute assurance that it was, in fact, Martin's writing and the actors' talent that carried the show-runners.
I think the books are much better, but the show is also great. Sure, the show is more famous than the books and the show brought the books more readers, but really... Nobody could reach the genius of the books, the figures, the different story-parts,... It's just incredible
I've read a few of his other books, and they're good too. I think he wanted a magnum opus, a fantasy that incorporates pretty much all the elements and psychology of human history. I've heard people say they're the best series of books ever written. The actors are phenomenal. Season 1 almost exactly followed the book. But I don't want to watch the last seasons because I know what I'm in for. I expected the show to stray from the books and it seems I was right. When a show surpasses the release of the actual books, something is going to go wrong. Of course Martin is more popular now that it's a show, more people watch shows than read books. But those people saying that are idiots, the show came from the books, and the books are unparalleled, so wtf? I've read Dying of the Light and Windhaven and thought both were good. Even if you consider Martin to be average, if you ever read even the first GoT book, you'll change your mind. That tells me that the people saying that dumb shit have only watched the show. Martin turned himself into one of the best fiction writers in history and it's clear to anyone who's actually read the GoT books. Edit- a quote about one of his other books, The Armageddon Rag. “The best novel concerning the American pop music culture of the sixties I’ve ever read.”-Stephen King. If you say Stephen King is an average writer, you just proved my point. Here's a list of awards he won years before HBO picked up his show. From wikipedia: A Game of Thrones (1996) - Locus Award winner, World Fantasy Award and Nebula Award nominee, 1997 A Clash of Kings (1998) - Locus Award winner, Nebula Award nominee, 1999 A Storm of Swords (2000) - Locus Award winner, Hugo Award and Nebula Awards nominee, 2001 A Feast for Crows (2005) - Hugo, Locus, and British Fantasy Awards nominee, 2006 A Dance with Dragons (2011) - Locus Award winner, Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award nominee, 2012

And who are you, the proud lord said, That I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat, That’s all the truth I know. In a coat of gold or a coat of red, A lion still has claws, And mine are long and sharp, my lord, As long and sharp as yours. And so he spoke, and so he spoke, That lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep o’er his hall, With no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall, And not a soul to hear.
people talking about how the singer with the heavy voice looks like a young tywin, the conductor looks like a bloody young roose bolton that's exactly how i would imagine him in his youth.
Every time I see something like this I am amazed at how much of a cultural touchstone GoT becale at its height, and how the last season wiped it out so quickly and completely, almost overnight.
As a society we will eventually forget the actors names, the directors of the episodes, and the producers of the show.. But the music composed for the show will endure for hundreds of years. Musicians will be playing these songs and choirs singing for centuries. These are the great composers of our day, that will define our place in musical history. When people in the future hear this music they will recount the story arches to each other. Just as we today do for the great symphonies and operas written before and it is ALL because of people like you on this video. YOU with your comments and your likes, keep and make this creation a masterpiece to be remembered..
Not a music expert, but this song literally brings back memories, just like every other original songs that are being used for the music theme of a movie.
What a cheesy comment. Firstly, some stories are forgotten but some live on. Shakespeare has endured for centuries. Lord of the Rings is still popular af 70 years on. Maybe the story of GoT/ASOIAF will remain relevant decades later who knows. There is no guarantee of of this music lasting centuries as you say. So many composers in our history and only a handful are listened regularly today.
@@abdullahbhinder9023 actually the guarantee is do a UA-cam search and see how many hundreds of millions of views the songs from the series has got in only such a short time.
@@JohnCocozza While that's true that songs have many views. I also love the music of GoT. But you cannot deny that the biggest reason the music is popular is because of the popularity of thr show. It was the biggest show on the planet for a decade so it is obvious that its music would receive attention. Even the corny Witcher song Toss a Coin to your Witcher is really popular since it was a song from the popular Witcher series.
@@abdullahbhinder9023 if a show closes and ends in a success then people will constantly talk about the story, relive it, pass it on. But when a story closes in a failure and a let down to a majority of the fans, then it people wont talk about the story because talking about the story reminds them of the let down. The story will fade. The music will survive
When they play House Stark's theme song, I'm just reminded of this one quote. "When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
@@Akumayameshi I understand, dude. Daenerys was my fav character and see her pathway end the way it did was heartbreaking. D&D killed with nonsense her and a lot of character constructions during S8.
"Instead, he [Tywin] commanded that the mines be sealed with stone and soil until there was no way in and no way out. When that was completed, it took less than a day to dam the stream beside the castle and only two to divert it to the nearest mine entrance. The Reynes had taken more than three hundred men, women, and children into the mines. A few guards reported hearing faint screams and shouts below them one night. But come dawn, the earth was silent once again."
my god, Johan Karlström, if you did a commercial with that voice, I'd even buy the most useless of things, what kind of godly yet unholy voice is that? OUT OF THIS WORLD! And a stellar performance by the orchestra.
This is one of the best orchestra performers ever. No doubt! From the muffled screaming to the opera-type of singing along with the exemplary performance by the musicians! Listening to it motivates and energizes me! Just perfect!
Say whatever you want about the ending of this show but this is incredible. This will forever be one of the best shows ever on tv for so many reasons. casting, score, sets, cgi, plot lines, etc. brilliant.
Totally agree. The end was really good, but the development of the season tasted like a fast and barely cooked and spiced dish. However, one of the best TV show I ever watched. With an incredible ost
The last 2 seasons were a travesty, but the music has always been top tier. Ramin Djawadi really created something magical that will stand the test of time.
It started out fantastically, then it tried too hard to do fan service and push some aspects that just didn't make sense. I'd say during season 1-4, it was one of the best shows ever... afterwards it quickly started sinking
The Golden Lions of Casterly Rock approve this. Marvelous. :)) Yes, Johan really looks like a young Tywin Lannister. EDIT: In case anyone is curious on the lineup of the Suite: - The Rains of Castamere (House Lannister) - Main Theme - Breaker of Chains (House Targaryen) - What Is Dead May Never Die (House Greyjoy) - Goodbye Brother (House Stark) - Arrival To Winterfell (mix of Baratheon, Stark, and Targaryen) - Wildfire (House Baratheon) - Mhysa (House Targaryen) - The Children (House Stark)
The red wedding was probably the most shocking moment in television history. Rains of Castamere is, to this day, my favourite and most hated piece of music ever in a TV series. If that's not good TV, I don't know what is.
Word! It was in this moment, when i realized Martin is a sadist. I was shocked and my girlfriend cried a river and this means much (she had never cried for ANY other movie)
Especially when Robb calls mother before bolton stabs him still makes me cry .😭. This is My all time favourite series . I am not judging it with what they did at last or anything . I am happy that this masterpiece existed in my generation ❤️.
@@gordonchell4364 "When all entrances were blocked with tons of stone, earth, and soil, leaving no way in or out, Tywin had his men dam a nearby stream and divert it to the nearest mine entrance. Water easily found its way though the tiny gaps in the rubble that blocked the mouth of the entrance. Lannister men stationed at the most distant entrances claimed they could hear faint screaming and shouting, but by daybreak, there was nothing but silence. None of the three hundred men, women, and children within ever emerged from the mines again." - Reyne-Tarbeck Revolt, A Wiki of Ice and Fire.
Well it was labled as a "fantasy concert" so everything had a fantasy theme to it.. but yeah.. i never noticed this myself when i saw it.. as it was not possible as a crowd to see it xD
I’ve watched all other versions of “Rains of Castamere,” this one is the best version for me! This guy’s voice is perfect and song is not rushed. I have spoken!
Anyone who doesn't know the significance of the rains of castamere, here's a brief summary: House Lannister had a vassal known as House Reyne, who held the castle of Castamere. Castamere much like the Lannister holdings had loads of gold, and so the castle was essentially a glorified mine. They started getting almost as wealthy as the Lannisters, and so the well known and well feared lord of Castamere (Lord Roger Reyne) started challenging the Lannisters, (The song says he is "only a cat of a different coat" since House Reyne and House Lannister had basically identical sigils, just different colours). They eventually rebelled with another house, eventually House Reyne retreated to Castamere, but due to the extensive tunnel network, it was seen as impenetrable. Tywin, still heir to the Lannister house, went over to Castamere, ordered his men to seal the entrances and then redirected a nearby lakes waters into the tunnels, killing everyone inside. Now listen to the song with all this in mind and it's quite a harrowing song.
Love Tywin’s voice but what a vocalist he turned into! 8:38 through the music, I can picture the Raynes drowning in their fortifications as Tywin lords over their ruins!
"Here, scream into this cloth."
Squiggly Bumps “so what did you play” “oh the cloth of course”

It's meant to represent children of House Reyne drowning in the basements of Castamere after Tywin flooded them.
@@A.ManAlone Damn....

I often get the urge to rewatch GoT but then I remember how it ends and it just ruins everything.......
I dont like the end either, but common can't we stop talking about it under every fucking videos about game of thrones ?
MachoMadnessBear same... it made me teary eyed again. Last night Watched again when Dany, her armies, babies arrived at Winterfell then stopped where Dany & Jon went to north with Drogon & Rhaegal... sigh!!!
@@NB-or8rs no we cant we will remember this until the end of time d&d will not be forgotten they will suffer ruining it
Walkion it will end same way in the books.
I rewatch it anyway :)
S05, E01 right now
D&D may have ruined the last season, but we will always have this beautiful music.
They created and wrote the show since season 1, the music wouldn't exist without them. Nobody cares if you hated season 8, go watch some other show you ungrateful and toxic nerd.
I love you
Malin, feel exactly the same way. They screwed the ending, but the series and the music will forever be epic.
@@maimal5397 spineless worm
not just last season though...the last four seasons werent as good as the first four... the last four seasons had few goods episodes collectively...
How has Ramin Djawadi managed to create such a sublime piece of music? I cannot stop listening to it. One of the best I have ever listened to.
Im a simple man
I see Danish National Symphony Orchestra
I click and watch
Imagine disliking a national level symphony orchestra, what an amazing performance!
Sadly, some people don't appreciate symphony music.
@@SammieMousie imagine living with psychos who get annoyed with this kind of music.
@@JamesBensonOficial the whole world is living beside them actually.
Coming from a recording of this same orchestra performing Lord of the Rings pieces, I can perfectly understand why.
It's not the orchestra. It's the music.
I don't, for the life of me, understand why GoT music is praised as high as it is.
I disliked it because they did not include Winds Of Winter 😭😭😭😭
The transition from Rains of Castamere to the main theme of Game of Thrones was such a delight and joy
Fine I’ll rewatch game of thrones
Johan Karlström should really get into voice acting. i'd love to hear him voice act some characters in the next Elder Scrolls or something
1000000% agreed! His voice is so beautiful!
I would LOVE THAT
He's the solist singer of the best simphony orchestra in the world, why the fuck would he make some video game voice?
@@Manhattan264 Being a soloist singer of the best symphony orchestra is certainly honorable, but the audience of video games is noticeably wider. So his voice would bring joy to millions more fans around the world.
@@sergeyyakovlev411 i m pretty sure a lot of ppl would be happy, i would too.
But he s at top of a major art, i cant imagine he would use his voice for something else
That's why Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world. Because they have an amazing national orchestra! :D
State funded, I might add. The tickets are cheap and the orchestra gets to try new things, instead of just catering to the usual concert-goers.
All that, in one of the worlds best concert-halls.
iGottaRandomName
So the poorer working class lad has to pay so that a small group of music lover can go to a concert to watch this.
Well fuck, sorry to the people that don’t like this music, your paying for it whether you like it or not.
@@sebastianlodge7549 That is one of the most important differences in way of thinking between Denmark and USA you are touching on here! We, in general of course, do not "hate" to pay taxes, to make things like this possible in so many different areas of culture, sports etc. Sometimes it is for something you are personally interested in, and sometimes it is for your next door neighbour, even if you yourself are not in the least interested. Personally I have worked outdoors low pay jobs all my worklife ( retired now, when I was 61 ), and I very much appreciate this, even though i preferred the Tolkien piece, that "lead" Me here in the first place. The attitude you are presenting for us here, is also exactly why, so many in USA do not seem to have a problem with 45.000 people dying every year for lack of healthcare. That is not, who we are, as a people.
Kurt.Dk-55
I’m Australian not American.
So yeh, big assumption. I personally have no problem with public healthcare. It prevents disease outbreaks that effect me and saves lives. It is just the arts and non essential things like wifi, that I don’t think everyone else should have to pay for. But each to their own, I have full respect for Denmark, and hope to go one day.
@@sebastianlodge7549 'But mate, this is essential. Countries are formed because of art, music and culture, especially countries like in Europe ( I do not only mean Europe) were it has thousands of years of history. What is a country or a certain type of people without their culture, art and music? Also Denmark has a population of 5,8 million and is the 33st richest country. I do not think the poorer working class really feel the costs of funding this, but that's a personal opinion.
Also if you think about it, not only the musicians are paid with that money. How about the light technicians, audio technicians, cameraworkers, script writers, film directors, bar personal, cleaners, PR workers and the list goes on. Always think about the bigger picture my friend. This place also creates a lot of work.
Is nobody going to talk about the “crying” in Rains of Castamere? Such a haunting and incredible touch.
It's much darker than that.
As another ASOIAF fan wrote, the muffled screams of the young choir girls represent the sounds of the children drowning in the basement when Tywin Lannister torched and then flooded the castle of the Reyne family, and killed all members of House Reyne of Castamere.
"The Rains of Castamere" is played to foreshadow a cruel action by House Lannister, reminding us of how it destroyed a vassal house that did not honor its pledge to House Lannister. It's played from the start of The Red Wedding scene, where Catelyn Stark, her son Robb, his pregnant wife, and unarmed men of the Stark army were slaughtered.
@@oahuhawaii2141 the second part I knew, the first I didn’t! Very cool insight.

I've heard people say that G.R.R. Martin is an average writer who only reached fame thanks to the show, and so on. But reading the books, and seeing how the show has ended, I can say with absolute assurance that it was, in fact, Martin's writing and the actors' talent that carried the show-runners.
I think the books are much better, but the show is also great. Sure, the show is more famous than the books and the show brought the books more readers, but really... Nobody could reach the genius of the books, the figures, the different story-parts,... It's just incredible
Charlotte Trautmann agreed, the books are incredible
I've read a few of his other books, and they're good too. I think he wanted a magnum opus, a fantasy that incorporates pretty much all the elements and psychology of human history. I've heard people say they're the best series of books ever written. The actors are phenomenal. Season 1 almost exactly followed the book. But I don't want to watch the last seasons because I know what I'm in for. I expected the show to stray from the books and it seems I was right. When a show surpasses the release of the actual books, something is going to go wrong. Of course Martin is more popular now that it's a show, more people watch shows than read books. But those people saying that are idiots, the show came from the books, and the books are unparalleled, so wtf? I've read Dying of the Light and Windhaven and thought both were good. Even if you consider Martin to be average, if you ever read even the first GoT book, you'll change your mind. That tells me that the people saying that dumb shit have only watched the show. Martin turned himself into one of the best fiction writers in history and it's clear to anyone who's actually read the GoT books.
Edit- a quote about one of his other books, The Armageddon Rag. “The best novel concerning the American pop music culture of the sixties I’ve ever read.”-Stephen King. If you say Stephen King is an average writer, you just proved my point.
Here's a list of awards he won years before HBO picked up his show. From wikipedia:
A Game of Thrones (1996) - Locus Award winner, World Fantasy Award and Nebula Award nominee, 1997
A Clash of Kings (1998) - Locus Award winner, Nebula Award nominee, 1999
A Storm of Swords (2000) - Locus Award winner, Hugo Award and Nebula Awards nominee, 2001
A Feast for Crows (2005) - Hugo, Locus, and British Fantasy Awards nominee, 2006
A Dance with Dragons (2011) - Locus Award winner, Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award nominee, 2012
Now that a Song of Ice and Fire is famous, please read his novels of Duncan & Egg.
Agreed…the televised series started in such an awesome way then degenerated into chaos but the books are phenomenal. Tip…when bringing such legendary books to life…stick to the damned plot!!! 😂 Luckily the sound track was awesome!!!

WE ARE SO LUCKY TO ENJOY SUCH MARVELOUS MUSIC AT THE GREAT PRICE OF $0. THANK YOU.
As a society we will eventually forget the actors names, the directors of the episodes, and the producers of the show.. But the music composed for the show will endure for hundreds of years. Musicians will be playing these songs and choirs singing for centuries. These are the great composers of our day, that will define our place in musical history. When people in the future hear this music they will recount the story arches to each other. Just as we today do for the great symphonies and operas written before and it is ALL because of people like you on this video. YOU with your comments and your likes, keep and make this creation a masterpiece to be remembered..
Not a music expert, but this song literally brings back memories, just like every other original songs that are being used for the music theme of a movie.
What a cheesy comment. Firstly, some stories are forgotten but some live on. Shakespeare has endured for centuries. Lord of the Rings is still popular af 70 years on. Maybe the story of GoT/ASOIAF will remain relevant decades later who knows.
There is no guarantee of of this music lasting centuries as you say. So many composers in our history and only a handful are listened regularly today.
@@abdullahbhinder9023 actually the guarantee is do a UA-cam search and see how many hundreds of millions of views the songs from the series has got in only such a short time.
@@JohnCocozza While that's true that songs have many views. I also love the music of GoT. But you cannot deny that the biggest reason the music is popular is because of the popularity of thr show. It was the biggest show on the planet for a decade so it is obvious that its music would receive attention. Even the corny Witcher song Toss a Coin to your Witcher is really popular since it was a song from the popular Witcher series.
@@abdullahbhinder9023 if a show closes and ends in a success then people will constantly talk about the story, relive it, pass it on. But when a story closes in a failure and a let down to a majority of the fans, then it people wont talk about the story because talking about the story reminds them of the let down. The story will fade. The music will survive
When they play House Stark's theme song, I'm just reminded of this one quote. "When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
We are living downstream.
Once a streetpooper, always a streetpooper.
Winter is coming

@@Akumayameshi I understand, dude. Daenerys was my fav character and see her pathway end the way it did was heartbreaking. D&D killed with nonsense her and a lot of character constructions during S8.
"Instead, he [Tywin] commanded that the mines be sealed with stone and soil until there was no way in and no way out. When that was completed, it took less than a day to dam the stream beside the castle and only two to divert it to the nearest mine entrance.
The Reynes had taken more than three hundred men, women, and children into the mines. A few guards reported hearing faint screams and shouts below them one night. But come dawn, the earth was silent once again."
my god, Johan Karlström, if you did a commercial with that voice, I'd even buy the most useless of things, what kind of godly yet unholy voice is that? OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Say whatever you want about the ending of this show but this is incredible. This will forever be one of the best shows ever on tv for so many reasons. casting, score, sets, cgi, plot lines, etc. brilliant.
Totally agree. The end was really good, but the development of the season tasted like a fast and barely cooked and spiced dish.
However, one of the best TV show I ever watched. With an incredible ost
And the plot armour
The last 2 seasons were a travesty, but the music has always been top tier. Ramin Djawadi really created something magical that will stand the test of time.
It started out fantastically, then it tried too hard to do fan service and push some aspects that just didn't make sense. I'd say during season 1-4, it was one of the best shows ever... afterwards it quickly started sinking

If that's not good TV, I don't know what is.
Word! It was in this moment, when i realized Martin is a sadist. I was shocked and my girlfriend cried a river and this means much (she had never cried for ANY other movie)
Especially when Robb calls mother before bolton stabs him still makes me cry .😭. This is My all time favourite series . I am not judging it with what they did at last or anything . I am happy that this masterpiece existed in my generation ❤️.

Ooof, the Tywin Lannister theme really is a song about mass destruction.
Actually I think the opening was meant to sound like wheezing. Like Joffrey.
@@gordonchell4364 "When all entrances were blocked with tons of stone, earth, and soil, leaving no way in or out, Tywin had his men dam a nearby stream and divert it to the nearest mine entrance. Water easily found its way though the tiny gaps in the rubble that blocked the mouth of the entrance. Lannister men stationed at the most distant entrances claimed they could hear faint screaming and shouting, but by daybreak, there was nothing but silence. None of the three hundred men, women, and children within ever emerged from the mines again." - Reyne-Tarbeck Revolt, A Wiki of Ice and Fire.
Screaming into a cloth might be the best representation of what it was like to watch the last 2 seasons..
That woman's voice in the beginning makes this the best version of Rains of Castamere, period.
I love that there's just a random elf in the choir at 3:04
Yea I wondered why but then saw in the description they were actually playing lord of the rings music too
They played lord of the ring and world of War craft (The lich king) and many other stuff

There are several elves here and there. XD
Well it was labled as a "fantasy concert" so everything had a fantasy theme to it.. but yeah.. i never noticed this myself when i saw it.. as it was not possible as a crowd to see it xD

Music is a language that everyone could understand.
It truly is Universal mate ;-)
Anyone who doesn't know the significance of the rains of castamere, here's a brief summary: House Lannister had a vassal known as House Reyne, who held the castle of Castamere. Castamere much like the Lannister holdings had loads of gold, and so the castle was essentially a glorified mine. They started getting almost as wealthy as the Lannisters, and so the well known and well feared lord of Castamere (Lord Roger Reyne) started challenging the Lannisters, (The song says he is "only a cat of a different coat" since House Reyne and House Lannister had basically identical sigils, just different colours).
They eventually rebelled with another house, eventually House Reyne retreated to Castamere, but due to the extensive tunnel network, it was seen as impenetrable. Tywin, still heir to the Lannister house, went over to Castamere, ordered his men to seal the entrances and then redirected a nearby lakes waters into the tunnels, killing everyone inside.
Now listen to the song with all this in mind and it's quite a harrowing song.
I wanted to have Rains of Castamere as our first dance at my wedding just to see the guests reaction. My wife refused 😂
