if you don’t know the story behind this song, here we go - jenny lived in the ruined castle of oldstones, which was once the seat of house mudd, a vanquished line of the old kings of the first men. jenny claimed descent from their line. crown prince duncan targaryen met her and fell in love, and they married against the wishes of his father, king aegon v targaryen. he was betrothed to the daughter of lyonel baratheon, the laughing storm. king aegon urged his son to leave jenny behind and marry lord lyonel’s daughter, but he refused. when he was threatened with being disinherited, duncan willingly gave up his titles to be with jenny, earning him the title of “prince of dragonflies”. duncan and jenny were beloved by the smallfolk. king aegon in his later years became obsessed with the idea of hatching dragon eggs (dragons had gone extinct about 100 years prior and the remaining eggs turned to stone), and the entire royal family and many others went to summerhall, house targaryen’s summer palace. but when the fires they used to attempt to wake the dragon eggs burnt summerhall to the ground, much of house targaryen died in the flames, including king aegon, the prince of dragonflies, and possibly jenny of oldstones. this song was implied to be written by rhaegar targaryen, the great-grandson of king aegon v, who was born amidst the flames of summerhall. the song describes jenny dancing as summerhall burns around her.

This woman is doing God's work. Thanks to her I have a full repertoire of songs to entertain the court without arising any suspicions if I ever travel back in time and accidentally end up stranded in the Middle Ages, forced to blend in and make a living as a minstrel. Which is a very specific but very real fear of mine.
She should sing all GOT songs. Rains of Castamere, The Dornishman’s wife, Sansa’s hymn, Gold hands, The bear and the Maiden Fair, It’s always summer under the sea...
Oh, yes! Please do that one. I have a D&D session with a wedding ceremony coming up and need a sublte cue for my players that it is time to roll initiative. :DDD
Awe, there, there, Abby! Thank you! (Is it ridiculous to admit I cried while recording it? The song is just so sad and it hits different when you're trapped in your room.)
The show did not deserve him in the end. Not with the writers of the show saying something as baffling as "themes are for 8th grade book reports". Djawadi's music had themes, but even better, it had soul - the soul of the source material.
"Ser Duncan!" Jenny screamed after him as he ran towards the castle. "Ser, please, I can't lose you too!" Young Barristan Selmy held her back, offering what comfort he could and pleading with her to rest. Duncan heard Princess Rhaella shriek. The baby was coming now amidst all this horror and heat. The screams of her labor were echoed by the dozens of small, crumpled creatures that had once been people before the fire found them. Aemon stumbled amongst them, blinking back tears. "Ser?" he asked, desperate, as Duncan ran by. "Ser! The fire! The fire has killed him he's...oh," Aemon sobbed, "Ser, it's too late!" "Tend to the wounded!" He slammed into a slim shadow that stood alone nearest the burning castle. The Prince's wan face was almost glowing in the half-darkness of the firelight's edge. Aerys was entranced by the flames, mouth working quietly. "My Prince," The Lord Commander said, "you must go to Ser Barristan." "The stone is melting," Aerys gasped, "can you see it, Ser? The stone melts! What fire can undo stone?" If anyone but his King was in danger, Duncan the Tall may have stayed. Instead he ran back into the inferno and at once he could feel himself dying. The fire was taking the air from him. He collapsed with a thunderous clatter of plate. The white armor was turned gray and it cooked him. He saw the fringes of his white cloak, turning black with ash, glow as a embers set it alight. Duncan crawled forward, damning his great size once again. The smoke was so close to the ground now. "Dunk the Lunk," Arlen of Pennytree sighed, he was sitting astride Sweetfoot, unhindered by the smoke and looking at him with sadness, "you've gotten yourself into it now, lad. This place is hotter than all Seven Hells." "King Aegon," he croaked, "he'll die." Baelor Breakspear sat atop a black stallion brown hair black with his blood. "All men must, Ser Duncan." "From hedge knight to king." King Maekar's hard face scowled at him from beneath a black helm. "Your Grace!" Duncan crawled forward, hemmed in by smoke and ghostly horsemen. His dead had come to take him at last. Not yet! "Your Grace!" "Ser Duncan!" The voice was a squeak of fright from beyond a looming doorway of high flames. "Ser!" It was a voice that had warned him that Aerion was hurting Tanselle. A voice he knew well but had not heard in decades. He followed it. "Your Grace!" The sound of a mountain crumbling and a blast of heat drove all thoughts of ceremony for his mind. When he yelled next his voice was a hoarse and cracked like he was a young man again. "Egg!" Dunk yelled. "Egg, tell me where you are!" He saw someone on the ground and pulled himself forward. The thing was small as a boy and hairless. As he'd been at Ashford Meadow. Just a tiny child getting in over his head again. "Egg, I'm here. Egg, get up we have to go..." Stone cracked overhead like the chuckling of a dark god. Dunk saw the roof giving way. The stone was melting, as Aerys had said. It would fall on his king. He covered Egg with his body and hefted his shield. The smoke was inside him body, mind, and soul. He tried to remember the shield prayer...but it was so hazy. Hard to think. "Egg," he gasped, "Egg. I'm here. I'm here..." Dunk whispered to his squire as the flames roared in triumph and ceiling fell. Summerhall crumbled inwards, defeated by the fire at last. Outside, the fire rose up in three long columns of snaking smoke. Rhaegar Targaryen took his first breath of smoke-filled air and his little cries joined with Jenny's mournful sobs.
Yeah, this is pretty good. The events at Summerhall are likely pivotal in the series and remain very mysterious. Hopefully we'll get some more answers eventually.
The absolute best version of Jenny of Oldstones. So thankful for George RR Martin for creating this world and so thankful for artists like you for bringing more life to that world.
Or Last Goodbye from the credits of the third Hobbit film. I was feeling fairly let down by the film, then BAM. Sitting in the cinema crying over Billy Boyd.
I’m so glad this channel exists! It’s so nice to have a little bit of beauty pop up in the middle of the day. These videos are so well-done, but it’s hard to notice all the work put into them because I just get swept up in them
That's so sweet to say, and I understand. I think of all the music and TV shows and books I've devoured, only to realize I did so in a fraction of the time it took to actually make them.
Seriously, no joke, stop at season 6, 7 if you really, really get desperate. Do not watch 8, it retroactively kills the joy for the entire series. Theres a reason it was a cultural phenomenon and nobody even talks about it now. Season 7 and 8 kill game of thrones dead.
This reminds me of an abandoned 1910's ballroom above the place where I work. Incredibly beautiful and creepy. I can see this song playing as someone dances across the old wooden floors, surrounded by peeling velvet wallpaper and cobwebbed chandeliers.
I am not sure which we need most in 2021: The beauty of Hildegard von Blingin' s voice and music or the company of our fellow human beings wandering here in the comment fields.
I hate these “socially acceptable joking days”. Most of the pranks are low effort and not funny. “April Fools” is celebrated on December 28th in my country, and now I have to endure this shit twice a year, once with English speaking media, and the other with Spanish media. First world problems, I know.
I'd love to hear you cover "The Last Unicorn" from the movie 'The Last Unicorn', it is such a gorgeous song and I think it would work really well with your voice
This gave me goosebumps. One of the few good things to come out of season 8. Rarely have I felt so sad about a song about people from the history of a made-up world. Like damn,I know those characters aren't real and I still feel bad for Jenny of Oldstones and all those impacted by the tragedy at summerhall Amazing cover by the way, I am always delighted and happy to see you upload a new song! Wish you all the best!
"The Prince of Dragonflies loved Jenny of Oldstones so much he cast aside a crown, and Westeros paid the bride price in corpses." This encapsulates this grief so well...
Literally think about this channel on multiple occasions after videos are put out wondering when a new one will drop. So happy they are still happening, even during these crazy times. Thank you for the great music that we desperately need!
I am going to be in so much trouble when husband finds out I listened to this without him Edit - his response "do you know how much bardcore I listen to without you". My new life goal to always to listen to Hildegard von Blingin' first.
Lady Hildegard, I should find myself dearly wishing to visit the legendary country of Blingin', to learn of the legend behind thine tongue, and where it all begun for thee.
Truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Your voice paired with the lyrics just make this song sound even more tragic. Absolutely amazing
Tingles and goosebumps. Ethereal. Enchanting. Emotional. The longest three minutes I can remember experiencing, it was so full of F E E L I N G. Astounding.
I've been so upset and bummed the last few days, and here comes the majestic voice of Hildegard Von Blingin' to save the day. Her voice is like a balm for the soul.
This song originally had a medieval (sort of) setting. Hearing it sung in a traditional medieval style just adds to the song's plaintive, melancholy tone. Well done.
Fantastic voice! If Hildegard von Bingen had had such a voice, she would certainly have become the most famous minstrel of the Middle Ages. Best regards from Germany.
I'm not remotely a GoT fan, I had no idea this song existed, but I chuffing love it because Hildy is singing it. If any of your covers ever show up on Spotify (I know it's just "O Virtus Sapientiae" rn), I will immediately make a playlist just for them.
Is this woman's voice even real? It's so perfect and gorgeous it's like its AI generated. Edit: I would really like to see her take on 'The Lullaby of Woe' from the witcher.
Her voice is gorgeous because it's just slightly imperfect. An AI would be too perfect. It would be weird until it can replicate those human imperfections.
Stunning. I don't do the whole "better than the original" thing on covers/adaptations (feels crass), but I have to make an exception here. It's not just your stunning and amazingly clear voice. It's the whole combination with the subtle medieval instrumentation, singular voice, consistent but gradually rising amplitude, and thoughtful use of silence. It's an emotional masterpiece.
I'm always so blown away by how amazing your voice is! Your music gives me a feeling like none other and I want to sincerely thank you for making these videos ☺️
Honestly, out of all the many covers of this lovely song I've heard, yours is by far my favorite. You have the right purity of tone and heartfelt delivery to do it justice, and I absolutely love it. Very, very well done.
Magnificent :) I strongly recommend starting a Patreon. There are many of us who would support these creations without expectation of anything more than what you are already doing.
Oh muse! Sing in me, and through me tell the story. Of that man skilled in all ways of contending. A wanderer, harried for years on end... Thank you kind angel, you bring warmth to a weary heart. You're amazing.
I love music but it so rarely leaves me speachless. You have a wonderful voice and I don't really have the words to describe the state of peace this song put me in. Thank you.
I never thought I'd say this, but I think I just heard an angel sing. I know that song from GoT and it doesn't do anything to me, but this one, this version just makes my eyes flow like a silence river.
This was the best thing to come out of that final season. the sheer atmosphere this song created in that scene was such a perfect moment, it nearly saved that episode. As it were, listening to you sing it is a blessing.
Looking into the comment section, it feels like everything that must be said was said. But I need to say anyways, these are so great and it is great to hear that you are working on more covers!
Im listening to this reading the first book and it's hard to tell which is more beautiful or more tragic You have the most heavenly voice I have ever heard, thank you for sharing it
Beautiful! When I hear it I feel as though I am transported to the tower of a castle in northern England during the medieval era where I am crying for my lover who died during the crusades.
If I had a voice like that I would never shut up.
That's the nicest and funniest thing anyone's said to me in a while. :P
@@Hildegardvonblingin srsly tho- you are amazing- please, never stop sharing your music with us.

If Duncan was disinherited, why were he and Jenny at Summerhall with the royal family? Sorry if I'm being thick - I've never seen the show.

thank you for that summary, it's been a while since i read the books :)
@@BlackFiresong Yeah, they were beloved by the common people and the royal family still. He caused a lot of problems, but they still loved him.
@@BlackFiresong No bad that xou haven't seen the show- the story of Jenny is explained in the books, I don't think it was really mentioned in the show

Therapist: "It's okay, this is a safe space."
That's insane that I daydream about that when I'm listening to these songs
Haha i thought i was the only person with that daydream/ anxiety lol
We are all weirdos and that's super comforting
yep, i don't want to raise suspicion and get hanged
She should sing all GOT songs. Rains of Castamere, The Dornishman’s wife, Sansa’s hymn, Gold hands, The bear and the Maiden Fair, It’s always summer under the sea...
And the featherbed from the books
Like the song about the girl who did it with the bear! Or was it a GUY who hooked up with a female bear?!?!?
The bear and the maiden fair
You should sings the Rains of Castamere next!
I adore that one. All the songs are so on point!

@@Hildegardvonblingin Definitely not ridiculous to admit it.
Omg Abby!
Didn't even realize till now that these songs were original to GoT. The work Ramin Djawadi for that show was truly astounding.
The show did not deserve him in the end.
Not with the writers of the show saying something as baffling as "themes are for 8th grade book reports".
Djawadi's music had themes, but even better, it had soul - the soul of the source material.
Texts are from books actually

Astounding.
I've been so upset and bummed the last few days, and here comes the majestic voice of Hildegard Von Blingin' to save the day. Her voice is like a balm for the soul.
I think after listening to virtually all artist’s version on this song, this composition and vocal performance is the one
I had a truly terrible day.... this lovely siren's call is exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you, my lady!
There are many bardcore channels, but only one Hildegard von Blingin' ~ Outstanding!
This song originally had a medieval (sort of) setting. Hearing it sung in a traditional medieval style just adds to the song's plaintive, melancholy tone. Well done.
This version is even more beautiful and emotional than the original, and I never thought that would be possible. Thank you.
Crisp voice full of softness, which sounds you could almost touch
Sound the bell the queen has returned
Fantastic voice!
If Hildegard von Bingen had had such a voice, she would certainly have become the most famous minstrel of the Middle Ages.
Best regards from Germany.
Haunting ethereal tones from an extremely talented lady. Thank you ❤️

your voice is just so unique and lovely. this has a very different feel to it.
Thank you! 😊
Honestly, out of all the many covers of this lovely song I've heard, yours is by far my favorite. You have the right purity of tone and heartfelt delivery to do it justice, and I absolutely love it. Very, very well done.
Magnificent :) I strongly recommend starting a Patreon. There are many of us who would support these creations without expectation of anything more than what you are already doing.
Oh muse! Sing in me, and through me tell the story. Of that man skilled in all ways of contending. A wanderer, harried for years on end... Thank you kind angel, you bring warmth to a weary heart. You're amazing.
I love music but it so rarely leaves me speachless. You have a wonderful voice and I don't really have the words to describe the state of peace this song put me in. Thank you.
2:03 The best way to sing those 4 words... I've been searching for someone who would sing it the same way as Podrick and now I've found her
Your music is utterly beautiful, I’m so glad you are still making it
Thank you, that means a lot. 💕
@@Hildegardvonblingin I hope you keep releasing music. You have such an incredible talent.
i can never have enough of this, why aren't people like this immortal?
This a sad song but yet our Lady sings ever so perfect.
I never thought I'd say this, but I think I just heard an angel sing. I know that song from GoT and it doesn't do anything to me, but this one, this version just makes my eyes flow like a silence river.
Such mixed emotions. This was so evocative; beautiful and sad. I genuinely felt moved. But, man, will I die mad about that last season
You have absolutely, the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
i am speechless, it’s as if your voice lured mine out of me to add to the power yours holds. alas tis a fair trade, my voice to hear yours once more.
The GoT score is one of the best. Thanks for your beautiful version of this.
Now THIS is a worthy cover of this song. You have the perfect voice and style to do this justice, and it's absolutely beautiful.
This was the best thing to come out of that final season. the sheer atmosphere this song created in that scene was such a perfect moment, it nearly saved that episode.
As it were, listening to you sing it is a blessing.
Absolutely, hauntingly beautiful. You've done it again, dear Hildegard. Thank you.
It's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard, thank you Hildegard von Blingin
Been waiting so long for your latest song! Glad you're still at it :)
Thank you for your patience! The more I learn about music production, the longer it takes. :P
I listened all versions of the Jenny of Oldstones, what I founded, but this is the best
Looking into the comment section, it feels like everything that must be said was said.
But I need to say anyways, these are so great and it is great to hear that you are working on more covers!
Im listening to this reading the first book and it's hard to tell which is more beautiful or more tragic
You have the most heavenly voice I have ever heard, thank you for sharing it
You are probably gonna be *the most VIP* in a Stark's wedding.
*It's a compliment, lads!*
YESSSS. Inspiration from high above to get going on my 15th century project. Absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous!
The finest rendition that ever graced mine ears. I salute you, dearest lady.
The purity in your voice is rejuvenating
Thank you so much! ♥️
Wow, your version gave me goosebumps. It's so beautifully haunting.
Edit: I listen to you when I write fairy tales
Beautiful! When I hear it I feel as though I am transported to the tower of a castle in northern England during the medieval era where I am crying for my lover who died during the crusades.
