    This is obviously a game of thrones song, if you haven't watched it yet, but are familiar w/ LOTR material, I think you kind of get an idea of the kind of music I wish I could always make... I absolutely adore this style of music.

    He rode through the streets of the city
    Down from his hill on high
    O'er the wynds and the steps and the cobble
    He rode to a woman's sigh
    For she was his secret treasure
    She was his shame and his bliss
    And a chain and a keep are nothing
    Compared to a woman's kiss
    [Refrain]
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm

    Choosing love over "duty" & suffering severe consequences as a result has been a constant theme throughout Game of Thrones (Rhaegar & Lyanna, Robb & Talisa, Jon & Ygride, Tyrion & Shae, Jaime & Cersei, etc.), this song captures that theme perfectly!

    Fact : This song was written by Symon Silver Tongue in the books to blackmail Tyrion Lannister, It's about Shae his lover. And he's the one who told Tywin and Cersei about Shae and Tyrion's relationship.

    Full lyrics:
    He rode through the streets of the city
    Down from his hill on high
    O'er the wynds and the steps and the cobbles
    He rode to a woman's sigh
    For she was his secret treasure
    She was his shame and his bliss
    And a chain and a keep are nothing
    Compared to a woman's kiss
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm
    And there he stood with sword in hand
    The last of Darry’s ten
    And red the grass beneath his feet
    and red his banners bright
    and red the glow of the setting sun
    That bathe him in his light
    Come one, come on the great lord called
    My sword is hungry still
    And with the cry of savage rage
    They swarmed across the rill
    And with the cry of savage rage
    They swarmed across the rill
    He rode through the streets of the city
    Down from his hill on high
    O'er the wynds and the steps and the cobbles
    He rode to a woman's sigh
    For she was his secret treasure
    She was his shame and his bliss
    For a chain and a keep are nothing
    Compared to a woman's kiss
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm

    "That night, drunker than usual, he broke into sudden song.
    'He rode through the streets of the city, down from his hill on high,
    O’er the wynds and the steps and the cobbles, he rode to a woman’s sigh.
    For she was his secret treasure, she was his shame and his bliss.
    And a chain and a keep are nothing, compared to a woman’s kiss.'
    Those were all the words he knew, aside from the refrain.
    'Hands of gold are always cold, but a woman’s hands are warm.'
    Shae’s hands had beat at him as the golden hands dug into her throat. He did not remember if they’d been warm or not. As the strength went out of her, her blows became moths fluttering about his face. Each time he gave the chain another twist the golden hands dug deeper.
    'A chain and a keep are nothing, compared to a woman’s kiss.'
    Had he kissed her one last time, after she was dead? He could not remember … though he still recalled the first time they had kissed, in his tent beside the Green Fork. How sweet her mouth had tasted."
    - Tyrion II, A Dance With Dragons

      @# The singer was blackmailing Tyrion because he knew that if he told Cersei, Shae would be killed. To prevent this Tyrion has him killed and quite possibly turned into stew. By the way Tyrion talks to Varys when he finds him and Shae talking, It's not crazy to think show Tyrion would have done the same.
      Book and show Tyrion are pretty similar until around the end of season 4 onwards. It's a shame the crazy intelligent, broken, rock bottom awful Tyrion of the last book wasn't in the show, he hasn't been a meaningful charachter in quite a while on the show

      Because people think he paid his way in so he could brag, or that he was out of place there. I barely recognized him in the scene at first but I just love how Maisie lit up there.

    If you didn’t know, this song wasn’t made for the show or by Ed Sheeran. It is actually from the books, Tyrion sings it to himself after Oberyn’s death in the trial by combat. He also sings to himself when he kills shae in Tywins bed. He strangles her with his hand of the king chain which is a bunch of interlocking golden hands. “Hands of gold are always cold, but a woman’s hands are warm”.

    Hands Of Gold (feat. Ed Sheeran)
    Peter Hollens
    He rode through the streets of the city
    Down from his hill on high
    O'er the winds and the steppes and the cobble
    He rode to a woman's side
    For she was his secret treasure
    She was his shame and his bliss
    And a chain and a keep are nothing
    Compared to a woman's kiss
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm
    And there he stood with sword in hand
    The Last of Darry's ten
    And red the grass beneath his feet
    And red his banner's bright
    And red the glow of the setting sun that bathe him in its light
    Come one, come on, the great lord called, my sword is hungry still
    And with the cry of savage rage they swarmed across the rill
    And with the cry of savage rage they swarmed across the rill
    He rode through the streets of the city
    Down from his hill on high
    O'er the winds and the steppes and the cobble
    He rode to a woman's side
    For she was his secret treasure
    She was his shame and his bliss
    For a chain and a keep are nothing
    Compared to a woman's kiss
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm

    It's great listening to this version several times; Peter not only implements surprising clarity to the melody with his vocal timbre, but also subtly incorporates bits of themes from "The Rains of Castamere" and the opening title track of Game of Thrones in his harmonies to make for an unforgettably high-quality a cappella arrangement.
    It's been haunting my head over the past few days now.

  • @annaluciaherrera5562

    THIS WAS AWESOME!!! I loved Pentatonix (an acapella group) and I admire them because they made beautiful covers with only five voices... But Peter managed to make a perfect harmony with only one voice and it was wonderful .... I love this, I love Ed Sheeran and I love GOT.... Thank you for doing this❤❤

    • @RobinPierceWildMoonSister
      @RobinPierceWildMoonSister 7 років тому +1

      Peter does that one-man a cappella thing often, last time I counted, his channel was about 90% a cappella music, and he has over 150 music videos now! I remember Peter's first Ed Sheeran cover: I SEE FIRE from the second Hobbit film ua-cam.com/video/yymS1Pb7JfM/v-deo.html , and it is so epic, Peter's voices, the whole 'feeling' of the video is mind-blowing. You gotta experience it! Peter Hollens' riveting cover of #EdSheeran's 'I SEE FIRE' #acappella: vocal + intense body percussion starts @ 1:50 I love how the tension builds as the song progresses; how it begins with a single voice then slowly increases in its complexity, dozens of layers of a cappella vocals & body percussion increasing to such a subtle yet intense climax that the sudden ending...causes you to suspect you've been away on an epic adventure and surprised you made it safely home.

    HANDS OF GOLD LYRICS
    [Chorus]
    He rode through the streets of the city
    Down from his hill on high
    O'er the winds and the steppes and the cobble
    He rode to a woman's side
    For she was his secret treasure
    She was his shame and his bliss
    And a chain and a keep are nothing
    Compared to a woman's kiss
    [Refrain]
    For hands of gold are always cold
    But a woman's hands are warm (X2)
    [Verse]
    And there he stood with sword in hand
    The Last of Daery's ten
    And red the grass beneath his feet
    and red his banner's bright
    And red the glow of the setting sun that bathe him in its light
    Come one come on the great lord cult my sword is hungry still
    And with the cry of savage rage they swarmed across the rill
    And with the cry of savage rage they swarmed across the rill
    [Chorus]
    He rode through the streets of the city
    Down from his hill on high
    O'er the winds and the steppes and the cobble
    He rode to a woman's side
    For she was his secret treasure
    She was his shame and his bliss

      This is actually two songs put together.
      He rode through the streets of the city,
      down from his hill on high,
      O'er the wynds and the steps and the cobbles,
      he rode to a woman's sigh.
      For she was his secret treasure,
      she was his shame and his bliss.
      And a chain and a keep are nothing,
      compared to a woman's kiss
      Refrain:
      For hands of gold are always cold, but a woman's hands are warm...
      *This is all from one song* awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Symon_Silver_Tongue
      And there he stood with sword in hand,
      the last of Darry's ten...
      And red the grass beneath his feet,
      and red his banners bright,
      and red the glow of the setting sun
      that bathed him in its light,
      "Come on, come on," the great lord called,
      "my sword is hungry still."
      And with a cry of savage rage,
      They swarmed across the rill...

Loved the costume(s?) and the balance of the voices, and most of all love how current you can be without losing any of the timelessness and purity of your voice and singing! This to me is a masterpiece, and what on earth could be controversial about it? As for views being down, I think this is going around the internet, because other things I would have thought would have been huge hits are way down in views, too.

I hope you get the licensing all straightened out as I'm sure it will be very successful. I am among the number who find it confusing that Ed Sheeran's GoT performance was controversial. I think he was great & there would not have been so much negativity focused on that character if it had been someone unknown. It's unfortunate that people feel the need to put such hate out there like that. It must have been tremendous work to get this video out so quickly, but it's a beautiful gift to your fans.

      I found it very interesting how right after she sat down she took a long hard look at their swords which were very far away from them, and she decided to sit down and listen instead of doing what we thought she was going to do... ha.

      Not going to lie, terrified that sometime later this season we're going to find out that she did actually take the soldiers out after the scene cut and the producers are just waiting to use that information. That would mean they decided against a fight scene.... unlikely.

    Beautiful cover! I'm not a fan of Ed Sheeran, but I love all the covers you've done of his songs. You make any song better!
