Game of Thrones theme with lyrics

Karliene Reynolds and her collaborators at Cabinfever Production Studios inspired by the HBO series A Game of Thrones. Reynolds, with the assistance of Brian Horton, Lin Umstead, and Caleb Cox, created a new arrangement of the show’s theme song “You Win or You Die,” composed for the series by Ramin Djawadi, and added their own lyrics. Reynolds wrote the new lyrics and sang and performed piano on the arrangement. You can check out the video here below.

It’s a very lovely arrangement of the theme and the lyrics are very fitting given the show’s thematic elements. Strange, but I was expecting these lyrics to parody the show rather than honor it. Emotionally straightforward, sad, a bit hopeful at times, it’s an excellent video and a great tribute to a series that’s already shaping up to be another HBO classic.

Everybody should have some Bob Dylan!

George RR Martin releases 5th novel today!

Amazon

Things have certainly changed for Martin, 62, since his book tour for A Game of Thrones in 1996. At a Dallas bookstore, he was thrilled to see hundreds of people until he realized they were parents and kids. "Clifford the Big Red Dog crushed me," he recalls. "There were like 12 people to see me. It was humbling."

On a recent visit to Slovenia, 2,000 fans stood in line to meet Martin, who now gets recognized in airports. "It's flattering if a little disconcerting," he says.
