* Episode 2 gives us [[spoiler: "Jenny of Oldstones" sung by Daniel Portman on the eve of the Great Battle of Winterfell]]. This was a song partly featured in ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'' where only the opening couplet was featured because Creator/GeorgeRRMartin couldn't complete the lyrics to communicate the haunting and melancholy mood he wanted, often citing that as one of his regrets. Here the show finally finishes it, with the most beautiful song in the series, which summarizes both the mood and the sentiment of the entire show.
** The end credits version by Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine is equally beautiful and particularly haunting when paired with clips from the preceding seasons in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTa1jHk1Lxc official video]].

* Ramin Djawadi's score returns in force for the season's first episode, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AViJIXo5Kbg Two Swords]]". In the opening the audience is treated to a melancholic rendition of the Stark leitmotif that gradually shifts into a strong orchestral variation of "The Rains of Castamere" as House Stark's ancestral greatsword 'Ice' is melted down and reforged into two Lannister swords by Tywin, which then neatly transitions into the series' Main Theme and the opening title sequence.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOQsYk8cbnE The Halfman's Song]] by MiracleOfSound has an excellent medieval-y sound that could be a ballad straight from the books.

He followed up with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmJF9a7-g9c Mother of Flame]], which sounds like it could have come from the soundtrack. MiracleOfSound then followed with a song about Jon "the White Wolf" Snow himself, in the form of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmNjkflVijU When the Wolves Cry Out]], a rock ballad about Jon Snow finding his place in the world.
