the whole soundtrack of GoT is divine. Children. Rains of Castamere. The Night King. Daenerys' Theme. Just to mention a few. He is writing killer songs like it's nothing.
This, is my favorite song and scene of all GOT's seasons. How the anxiety builds up, how I slowly realize what's happening and how shocked I was at the end. That music was perfect. Everything was perfect and I honestly think this scene is a masterpiece.
Most amazing 20 minutes of television I’ve ever watched to be honest and I felt that way immediately after and my father-in-law said the same thing as well as my father and my girlfriend and everybody else that I know who watched this
Music is truly a powerful thing. I have so much respect for composers like Ramin Djawadi, Jeremy Soule, John Williams, etc. The emotions they convey with their music is just incredible....
@@ThatCamel104 Agreed. That episode, especially that scene however was a shining point in season 7, but other than that, seasons 7 and 8 were exactly what we would expect from two assholes (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss) that bailed on GoT and by extension the whole world. It is unfortunate that HBO did not simply hire new people to continue the legacy.
@@becca8803 Oh, yes, you are correct. Same time frame. I was thinking this was ep1 of season 7, which was instead the episode that started out with Arya. Both episodes had epic openers, but overall I disapprove of 7 and 8.
For me, this is the best OST in the entire series The tension, the pacing, the excitement, the pressure, everything about it, it's just like how Cersei blew the Sept of Baelor up This piece simply describes Cersei's mental state right now and it's absolutely amazing Props to the composer for this marvelous song
Season 6 episode 10 first 10 minutes were masterful. Possibly the best 10 minutes of tv I've ever watched, except for maybe twin peaks. Watching it for the first time without knowing what was about to happen, having you're suspicions, and learning as the music built was so so good.
Very well said. That introduction scene and the blowing up the Sept, was astonishingly good television. Easily among the greatest television that has ever been made, it transcended the genre and the medium. Perfect music, perfect acting, perfect writing... it's a shame that GoT when from TV that is that virtuosic to the autopilot feeling of season 7.
@@PosthumousAddress just got done with season 6......soo good, I dont wanna watch anything else for now. Thank you now I know I shouldn't hurry for that 7!
meh season 6 wasn't great cersei blowing up the sept and there being no repurcussions just so that d a d could get rid of some character arcs cause the cba
@@Yeetskeet1930 Season 6 ended with this, iirc, so that would be a criticism of season 7. But I agree, Game of Thrones started to go downhill with season 5, but there was enough good stuff to gloss over the bad stuff (like Arya being stabbed multiple times and then being fine a few days later lmao).
@@sweeety969 The motive of this sequence is the Lannister-Kings Landing-Theme, if I remember well. And is often repeated during the series. This recording was played during the sequence when Loras Tyrell tries to get the little kid with the torch and he don't make it. Then the sept was blown up and Cersei watched this, with a bitchy smirk and a glass of whine.
Tommen's jump out of the window to me is one of the most memorable scenes in GOT. Everything was right about that moment, the off beat timing, the quiteness and most importantly, the (sun)light. It felt as if you're were witnessing a real piece of medieval history.
As soon as the first few notes started playing during the last episode, I had to rewind to make sure it was actually coming the show because it threw me off so much compared to every other episode. This score is so fitting for Cersei's revenge
pokemonzapdos2 First time Game of Thrones ever used piano in a theme was this episode, it was hauntingly beautiful perfection and made "Cersei's Revenge" an epic episode
After learning the meaning behind the songs and watching the series again, the songs made it like a whole new show, with the music pulling you deeper into the weight of the scene👍🏾
You could know nothing about the scene and just hear the music and be moved. Add in one of the best dramatic scenes in TV history, and I’m at a loss for words.
Whenever I watch an episode, I dont generally pay attention to the music. I am so involved in the scene and its intensity (of course its due to the background score and the song) that I forget that there is music involved. This is by far the best track of Game of Thrones. The whole scene was fantastic but the music made it totally epic.
maximusvk19 if a score is truly suitable then you won’t notice it. It’s only there to accentuate what is already happen. The themes and emotions. Before Ramin and his music I never really paid attention to it apart from when it was really bad and I wanted to mute or whatever but he has given me a whole new appreciation for the genre. His stuff is so good that it’s got me paying way more attention to the music to the point where I’m almost a snob about it.
@@user-mx7wq3mz1w it's one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Despite the fact that it was a soundtrack to a sad scene, it's awesome to listen. I lose myself imagining myself playing this... Anyway..
Every now and then some iteration of Light of the Seven ends up in my recommendations and every single time I listen to it, even 5 years later, it gives me goosebumps. What a piece of music.
I once played in tiny school orchestra, nothing compareable to this but the feeling you get by playing alongside with other individuals to one song is jus mesmerizing. You feel part of a whole yet you can still make out every individual contributing to the whole.
Qyburn wouldn't even be alive to order the hit on GM Pycelle, resurrect the Mountain, build the ballista, or help Cersei if Robb Stark hadn't saved his life in season 3. I'm hoping he's secretly out to help destroy Cersei when the shit hits the fan. His whole family *died* because of the Lannisters.
he is kind of like gendry (lannister men tried to kill him and now he is helping the lannisters, but hopefully like gendry when time come he will go bcak to starks)
This is still one of the greatest scenes in television history imo, the soundtrack added so much and as soon as the piano started you could tell something was bound to happen
Besides the piece being so well performed, the literary value is so well done. It's an entirely new theme unlike any other heard before, mystery and conspiracy are the heart, yet when in the episode it's revealed what's about to happen, the first theme we ever hear in Game of Thrones, plays in this piece at 6:53, as if asking the audience, "This is Game of Thrones. What do you expect to happen?"
YES. I remember watching the episode for the first time, and thinking it was strange, as I had never heard piano on the show before. At that moment, about 3 seconds in, I knew something was wrong. Ramin Djawadi is a genius.
Joshua Guillemette the same thing happened to me. I thought it was so weird and I felt something was wrong. This theme helped to ramp up the tension and as each new scene is revealed and we are clued in to what's about to happen, the theme becomes even more epic and the silence that follows after the explosion culminating with the end of the theme is incredible!
We've had piano on the show before, in Three Blasts when the White Walkers marched on the First of the First Men at the end of Season 2, but it wasn't a featured instrument, only background
I remember hearing the piano in this episode and knowing something was off...piano wasnt featured in the shows music before and it set an atmosphere of uneasiness. The piano was out of place and you knew it.
Wow, i felt the uneasiness too but couldn't attribuite it to, the indeed, unusual choice of instrument. I must say though that the symphony has a creepy sounding tone to it either way. Regardless, good analogy.
The presence of the piano definitely is unnerving in its own right (as Chris said, it wasn't part of the show's signature sound which made it feel like an uninvited and suspicious outsider) ... From a theoretical perspective, there are a lot of very classic music theory elements here designed to stimulate unease and discomfort in the listener as well. More diminished and augmented chords than you can shake a stick at (permanently causing the harmony to push and pull away from ever really feeling resolved), the choir singing a minor second apart which is a very discordant interval at the best of times and the beautiful use of 'sul ponticello' strings, where the players bow right next to the bridge of the instrument, producing a glassy, ethereal and downright spooky sound 😁 Brilliant work on this one Ramin!
Forget about the bloody gods and listen to what I'm telling you. Cersei understands the consequences of her absence and she is absent anyway. Which means she does not intend to suffer those consequences. The trial can wait. We all need to leave. --- Final Words of Margaery Tyrell
GOT Light of the Seven is truly one of the all time great classical music masterpieces along with the spellbinding novel and TV show--all pure art in their respective mediums.
5:20 Qyburn (to Pycelle): This pains me, my lord. Whatever your faults, you do not deserve to die alone in such a cold, dark place. But sometimes before we can usher in the new, the old must be put to rest. The longer you wait, the worse it'll be for you.
Heehee...I love the sinister doubled bass line of (what sounds like) organ pedals, contrabassoon and double basses at 6:34 and 7:45. It's like a dragon's seething anger or something, lol. ...and man, do I have respect for orchestral percussionists. They have to wait forever to do anything, and when they do it's usually "color" or "punctuation" like stuff...like the triangle player flawlessly hitting with the soft piano chords (at 4:51). If you're just a 64th note off, the whole effect is messed up, but that guy (or gal) executed it as though their beater was connected to the pianist's fingers. Bravo...and RIP Margaery!
It was absolutely brilliant using the piano for this scene i feel like no other instrument could give the feeling of uneasiness and conviction like the music was telling the perfect story through the melody
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HEAR THE INTRODUCTION THEME; AS SOON AS I HEARD THE THE PIANO; THE HAIRS IN THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP WITH A CHILL. MASTERFUL WORK!!!!
Chills. I think I've watched this scene 20 times, and it never gets any less emotional or intense. Season six was finale was by far my favorite episode of the entire series. The music is incredible. Bravo.
I went to one of these and it’s incredible! The feeling and the emotions are there at 1000000% for real if you have the chance to go with the season 8 soundtrack but some tickets and go you’re gonna love it!
No that wasn’t a smirk that was the look of A sexual climax at the thought of everyone dying in one place. If you don’t believe me look at her face when brings the sand snakes to her feet in the throne room and she spits at Cersei she literally looked like she had a mini orgasm. That’s why I love Lena so much because she embodies the true character of Cersei because if she was a real person that’s exactly how she would react
this right here is music-history and film-history in it's final form! this will be remembered for a very very long time! All this show and the books do is of a masterful form! it's art in it's final form! Story, CGI, Music, Mood, Characters, Actors everything!
Maureen Roque I said the same thing. This music haunts me still. It’s like the soundtrack of intuition. Watching Margaery Tyrell struggle with her intuition was heartbreaking. I love this composition, it’s definitely his best if the series. 😘
Ramin Djawadi transscripted the whole scene into this masterpiece. Everybody knew that something bad would happen and this really got me hooked from the very first second of the episode.
It's so amazing what images with music can do. If we had heard this music on it's own, we would've just been thinking... oh, nice piece. But because our first hearing it was with visual images, very intense and emotionally charged images, we have an emotional attachment to it. It makes us feel what we wouldn't have necessarily felt otherwise.
there's something about this show.....from the music to action to the storyline character build up....GoT is awesome..even the baddest characters have a justification for being bad.......cant wait to see cersei again in season 7
1 - Planet Earth 2 (documentary series about nature and stuff, 2016) 2 - Band of brothers (HBO WWII mini-series, 2001) 3 - Planet Earth (the previous BBC nature documentary series, 2006)
I could watch this all day. If only there was a symphony orchestra reality tv show showing the musicians battling over the seats, the trials and failures as the group practices, the painstaking hours put in at home, and the masterpiece it turns out to be for the season finale! This would be truly epic!
Seeing this live was SOOOOOOOOOOO indescribably amazing!!! They send chills down your spine and give you gooesebumps!!! Each one of these musicians is extremely talented! I would LOVE to see the Game of Thrones orchesta perform live again.
Outstanding performance i freaking love it. I would pay such a huge price to witness an orchestra like that performing this masterpiece. Now, time to rewatch Ep 10 S06
Everything in this symphony is astonishing, specially the vocals! Gives you goosebumps right away,, then you remember Cersie in her looks with wine Glass smirking, the tension building up and then you know what’s about to happen but it’s too late , you wanna cry and you can’t , you are smiling grinding your teeth that’s devil in you and all of sudden Booooom there goes SEPT OF BAELOR
A pivotal moment in Season 6, and the significance of "The Trial" could not have been captured better. This music is absolutely awesome and so brilliant. Just totally hooked on the whole GOT experience. Best box set I ever bought and can envelope myself in the whole lot. Thanks You Tube for digging out this superb rendition.
I found this song about a year before I started watching GOT. When I eventually started watching and saw this episode, I immediately recognized the music and the scene accompanying it made it 1000x better. Possibly my favorite scene/episode in the show, def my favorite song out of the entire ost
When 10th episode of the season 6 started with this music, I knew something's going to happen now! The tension, The excitement, The dark vibes, The mysterious feeling, Silent faces and this music! I knew something's going to happen! Something really un imaginable! The best season of whole GOT!
I remember watching this episode a year ago for the first time and I remember hearing that eerie piano starting to play and I said to myself, Enjoy this moment it will probably be the best you'll experience from a TV show ever, the resulting few mins, did not disappoint.
Light of the seven é minha canção favorita de todo o seriado. Todas as vezes que ouço, me arrepia a alma! Agora ouvindo uma versão tocada por uma orquestra, me faz chorar. Que coisa linda!
Perfect timing for each note. And the right amount of pause… I hope people appreciate how difficult it is to do this and how many hours of practice it takes. How difficult it is to wait for that next note and resist the urge to rush
OST version is godlike but this, especially this FALL at 5:59 makes heart stop for a while. As if Ramin himself made the heaven collapse right on us. And how dire sounds entire second part of the theme. Absolute masterpiece.
It's pure MAGIC ! WHEN the music is so perfectly matched with the movement of a film. I only hope that it can be repeated many more times by other artists like the ones that put the Night Kings death to....it was better than flawless. It was simply poetic! Masterfully done...
I keep going back to 5:57 and just trying to take in every single detail. It must feel so empowering to be a conductor and get to drop your hand like that knowing that you're about to make this incredible, intimidating, immaculate sound.
Game of thrones always creates an atmosphere with it's storyline and with the music which makes it's fans feel as if they are in it. The joy, the horror, the anxiety everything feels as if it's happening to me.

Me too. The score is 👌
*Light of the Sevens and Night king theme are true masterpieces*
My two favourites but I suppose they're the favourites of majority of game of thrones fans.
Agree. The Night King was the other most spectacular piece in the series

Nick Gillotti would you be able to list a top 10? i’m interested in hearing more.
Not to necro your comment, but have you listened to the soundtrack of Person of Interest, or of Westworld?
The choir sounds so much more haunting here....I love it.
Both this score and The Night King have crescendos that evoke a sense of ineluctable catastrophe and yeah, they're both hauntingly beautiful.
What a masterpiece, Game of thrones is the best thing to ever happen to television.
Absolutely, everybody who denys never watched it
Agree
Might wanna add Breaking Bad to that list
Umm arent u forgetting the CLEVELAND SHOW. now thats good 📺 tv.

More diminished and augmented chords than you can shake a stick at (permanently causing the harmony to push and pull away from ever really feeling resolved), the choir singing a minor second apart which is a very discordant interval at the best of times and the beautiful use of 'sul ponticello' strings, where the players bow right next to the bridge of the instrument, producing a glassy, ethereal and downright spooky sound 😁 Brilliant work on this one Ramin!
What an amazing masterpiece. The hands of the pianist made of gold.
The orchestra members playing this in their regular street clothes is in such stark contrast to the other-worldly beauty of the score.
This is greatest thing I've seen since the actual episode !!!
The Prague Orchestra. You are beyond and beautiful. The pianist is simply beyond words.
Forget about the bloody gods and listen to what I'm telling you. Cersei understands the consequences of her absence and she is absent anyway. Which means she does not intend to suffer those consequences. The trial can wait. We all need to leave. --- Final Words of Margaery Tyrell
uh wasn't it "let me through" or "let me go"?
She also says "Loras, stay with me".
I think her actual last words were “Get out of my way!”
the amount of tension and uneasiness, this tune can create is marvellous .... one can feel, Death arriving at your doorstep. 😌👌🏻
Music is a language..... Beautiful, triggers all the emotions. Thumbs up to the composer and the orchestra ❤
GOT Light of the Seven is truly one of the all time great classical music masterpieces along with the spellbinding novel and TV show--all pure art in their respective mediums.
5:20
Qyburn (to Pycelle): This pains me, my lord. Whatever your faults, you do not deserve to die alone in such a cold, dark place. But sometimes before we can usher in the new, the old must be put to rest. The longer you wait, the worse it'll be for you.
Fun fact:In the book, Varys said those sentence(not word to word)to Kevan before killing him. He's also the one to kill Pycelle there.
Qyburn underrated genius
Heehee...I love the sinister doubled bass line of (what sounds like) organ pedals, contrabassoon and double basses at 6:34 and 7:45. It's like a dragon's seething anger or something, lol.
...and man, do I have respect for orchestral percussionists. They have to wait forever to do anything, and when they do it's usually "color" or "punctuation" like stuff...like the triangle player flawlessly hitting with the soft piano chords (at 4:51). If you're just a 64th note off, the whole effect is messed up, but that guy (or gal) executed it as though their beater was connected to the pianist's fingers.
Bravo...and RIP Margaery!
You know the real problem for orchestral percussionists
It was absolutely brilliant using the piano for this scene i feel like no other instrument could give the feeling of uneasiness and conviction like the music was telling the perfect story through the melody
YES! 🐲
The silence before the piano plays. I've loved music ever since I was small. Still do. Music is beautiful.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HEAR THE INTRODUCTION THEME; AS SOON AS I HEARD THE THE PIANO; THE HAIRS IN THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP WITH A CHILL. MASTERFUL WORK!!!!
me too, because game of thrones never did a piano piece before (correct me if im wrong), then I knew something big is happening.
Chills. I think I've watched this scene 20 times, and it never gets any less emotional or intense. Season six was finale was by far my favorite episode of the entire series. The music is incredible. Bravo.
Game of Thrones, Skyrim and the Witcher have some of my favourite sound tracks in any sort of entertainment to place emotions
My 3 favourite universes
Something about arranging for symphony chills my bones...the highs, lows, dramatic emotion expressed through sound.
I would have paid for the tickets to see this live

Sk Arsalan Hussain - I'm seeing it live in September. Can't wait!
@@user-ms1ue8bd8r almost the same thing happened to me last year😔💔
I went to one of these and it’s incredible! The feeling and the emotions are there at 1000000% for real if you have the chance to go with the season 8 soundtrack but some tickets and go you’re gonna love it!
got is the best, but this segment was the best of the best. everything perfection. anytime I hear this, I imagine cersei's little smirk lol
i can imaginein 100 years from now in the future ...how there is some iconic band called : Crowning of Cersei
No that wasn’t a smirk that was the look of A sexual climax at the thought of everyone dying in one place. If you don’t believe me look at her face when brings the sand snakes to her feet in the throne room and she spits at Cersei she literally looked like she had a mini orgasm. That’s why I love Lena so much because she embodies the true character of Cersei because if she was a real person that’s exactly how she would react
Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time....absolute masterpiece.
this right here is music-history and film-history in it's final form! this will be remembered for a very very long time!
All this show and the books do is of a masterful form! it's art in it's final form!
Story, CGI, Music, Mood, Characters, Actors everything!
And the amount of people and the amount of work behind this whole thing, unfathomable, these kinda stuff is the very pinnacle of humanity.
You say no pressure for the piano player, but the real pressure is on the triangle guy at 4:50
My respects
Glockenspiel
Wow!....nailed it.
crotales 🤓
Crotales, not triangle or glockenspiel. But yes :)
This is haunting AF. Still the craziest thing I've ever seen in GoT. That's saying something
Rest in peace Queen Margaery: the queen we needed but didn't deserve.
This is by far my favorite scoring of GOT! 2nd is ‘Night King’
Maureen Roque I said the same thing. This music haunts me still. It’s like the soundtrack of intuition. Watching Margaery Tyrell struggle with her intuition was heartbreaking.
I love this composition, it’s definitely his best if the series.
😘
Me too
Same here
Maureen Roque light of the seven, the night king and last of the Starkes are My Favoriten soundtracks from got
The very slow and open style of this music provides plenty of room for your growing anxiety to fall through. 6:06 = shivers
Ramin Djawadi transscripted the whole scene into this masterpiece. Everybody knew that something bad would happen and this really got me hooked from the very first second of the episode.
6:56 just feel it
Ján Kolodzej so many goosebumps :)
Ján Kolodzej This part is so good aaah
Ján Kolodzej All memories from season 1 pass by...GOT is epic...that episode was a masterpiece
It's so amazing what images with music can do. If we had heard this music on it's own, we would've just been thinking... oh, nice piece. But because our first hearing it was with visual images, very intense and emotionally charged images, we have an emotional attachment to it. It makes us feel what we wouldn't have necessarily felt otherwise.
This piece fits the current world perfectly. I love the subtle dissonance in the choir and how the composition just keeps building tension
there's something about this show.....from the music to action to the storyline character build up....GoT is awesome..even the baddest characters have a justification for being bad.......cant wait to see cersei again in season 7
Clabus Vile ya happy
GoT being rated 4th best series of all time on IMDb is no accident
andiran23 4th? What are the top 3?
1 - Planet Earth 2 (documentary series about nature and stuff, 2016)
2 - Band of brothers (HBO WWII mini-series, 2001)
3 - Planet Earth (the previous BBC nature documentary series, 2006)
andiran23 ok thanks 👍
The king of song that makes me want to live, die, laugh, cry.
Masterpiece.
I could watch this all day. If only there was a symphony orchestra reality tv show showing the musicians battling over the seats, the trials and failures as the group practices, the painstaking hours put in at home, and the masterpiece it turns out to be for the season finale! This would be truly epic!
B Morrell watch Mozart in the jungle. It’s on Amazon
Just pure beauty everytime I comeback to this song, I cant get over how powerful one piano key can be
Absolutely stunning
its 2024 and i'm still listening to this masterpiece.
Seeing this live was SOOOOOOOOOOO indescribably amazing!!! They send chills down your spine and give you gooesebumps!!! Each one of these musicians is extremely talented! I would LOVE to see the Game of Thrones orchesta perform live again.
Jess in Japan I saw it twice in concert and it was so amazing... a once in a lifetime experience
one of the best scores of music ever written
It's good.. really but no.. listen to some Zimmer ;)
Outstanding performance i freaking love it. I would pay such a huge price to witness an orchestra like that performing this masterpiece. Now, time to rewatch Ep 10 S06
Benjamin ...How far
This music is so emotionally provocative. It evokes a feeling beyond our Earthly comprehension.
i.e. It slaps.
Orchestras always ground me with the amount of talent in a single room producing something so articulate and beautiful.
There's something strange and magical about this score. It's if it's a calling through the gateway of eternal life.
DavidMillsSeven NIGGA WHAT
Dang go be a poet somewhere else
Yeah the ability to give me a body full of goosebumps this shit is insane!
Yeah, this score was calling the High Sparrow, his followers and Margaery to the next life 😂😂
Sweet Jesus those bass notes just absolutely hit different in live recording the goosebumps are real
Everything in this symphony is astonishing, specially the vocals! Gives you goosebumps right away,, then you remember Cersie in her looks with wine Glass smirking, the tension building up and then you know what’s about to happen but it’s too late , you wanna cry and you can’t , you are smiling grinding your teeth that’s devil in you and all of sudden Booooom there goes SEPT OF BAELOR
A pivotal moment in Season 6, and the significance of "The Trial" could not have been captured better. This music is absolutely awesome and so brilliant. Just totally hooked on the whole GOT experience. Best box set I ever bought and can envelope myself in the whole lot. Thanks You Tube for digging out this superb rendition.
You can hear so many emotions in this song. Sadness, bitterness, anger, renvenge, statisfaction....It's so haunting.
I found this song about a year before I started watching GOT. When I eventually started watching and saw this episode, I immediately recognized the music and the scene accompanying it made it 1000x better. Possibly my favorite scene/episode in the show, def my favorite song out of the entire ost
When 10th episode of the season 6 started with this music, I knew something's going to happen now! The tension, The excitement, The dark vibes, The mysterious feeling, Silent faces and this music! I knew something's going to happen! Something really un imaginable! The best season of whole GOT!
I remember watching this episode a year ago for the first time and I remember hearing that eerie piano starting to play and I said to myself, Enjoy this moment it will probably be the best you'll experience from a TV show ever, the resulting few mins, did not disappoint.
Agreed, that sequence would not have the same impact without this masterful composition! I'm still in awe of his talent. ❤❤
How can anyone dislike this masterpiece?
Light of the seven é minha canção favorita de todo o seriado. Todas as vezes que ouço, me arrepia a alma! Agora ouvindo uma versão tocada por uma orquestra, me faz chorar. Que coisa linda!
Mateus Gomes Ela mistura o tema da abertura com o resto da obra de arte que já é e fica simplesmente sensacional
So faltou o órgão e estaria perfeita essa orquestração
I don’t know how but I can see Cersei smiling after blowing up the sept. Beautiful composition
Perfect timing for each note. And the right amount of pause… I hope people appreciate how difficult it is to do this and how many hours of practice it takes. How difficult it is to wait for that next note and resist the urge to rush
OST version is godlike but this, especially this FALL at 5:59 makes heart stop for a while. As if Ramin himself made the heaven collapse right on us. And how dire sounds entire second part of the theme. Absolute masterpiece.
I love the sound of an orchestra tuning before they play a piece😩🥰
It's pure MAGIC ! WHEN the music is so perfectly matched with the movement of a film. I only hope that it can be repeated many more times by other artists like the ones that put the Night Kings death to....it was better than flawless. It was simply poetic! Masterfully done...
Das ist total Irre !
Unglaublich, Phantastisch .... Uff , das ist Musikalische Perfektion.
Danke sehr.
Best soundtrack ever. Whenever I hear this. It give me chills
I keep going back to 5:57 and just trying to take in every single detail. It must feel so empowering to be a conductor and get to drop your hand like that knowing that you're about to make this incredible, intimidating, immaculate sound.
What an awesome episode, and the song was just perfect for it.
Game of thrones always creates an atmosphere with it's storyline and with the music which makes it's fans feel as if they are in it. The joy, the horror, the anxiety everything feels as if it's happening to me.
Big yikes 1 year after
that episode was a MASTERpiece, one of the best among all game of throne's. It gives me shivers every single time.
Какое счастье , что в наше время есть такие талантливые и гениальные композиторы
