16	Even with the series' polarizing reputation (especially towards the ending), the music is nothing short of spectacular from start to finish.

23	* The [[https://youtu.be/s7L2PVdrb_8 opening]] for ''Series/GameOfThrones''. Awesome music plus ClockPunk SceneryPorn equals win.
24	* [[https://youtu.be/kMl7HJ4DvgI The King's Arrival]], the music heralding the arrival of King Robert Baratheon and his court to Winterfell, helps highlight not only the (presumed) majesty of the King of the Seven Kingdoms, but also the weight of history that came before it.
25	%%* [[https://youtu.be/Zpln5JiK5nc Goodbye, brother.]]
26	%%* [[https://youtu.be/uWmUdFIUtYs "Such a small pack of wolves."]]
27	* Pretty much every [[https://youtu.be/5u2jhA3R3sE piece]] from the Season 1 denouement, Catelyn's ultimatum, Robb's crowning, Daenerys smothering her comatose husband, Jon's honour, the Night's Watch heading out in force to North of the Wall and the burning of Mirri Maz Dur on Drogo's funeral pyre.
28	* The [[https://youtu.be/sD_UGFF2TgI Finale]] of Season 1 (carrying into the end credits), featuring Dany and the [[TheMagicComesBack return]] of dragons to the world. The strains of the opening theme for the show at different points just makes it more awesome.

32	* How do you end the first episode of Season 2? [[https://youtu.be/cl9eFN5vtSM With this.]]
33	* [[http://youtu.be/N3cDLnkYs30 "Warrior of Light"]], the theme of Stannis and Melisandre. In a creepy, ominous way.
34	%%* Theon's [[https://youtu.be/l3vbjHdl-KM sea water baptism to the Drowned god.]]
35	%%* "A man's theme is [[https://youtu.be/DfzdEnQFyGc awesome]]."
36	* [[https://youtu.be/D-OnuOC2yQ8 "Pay the Iron Price."]] Should you ever hear this music start playing, you can be certain that whatever character is the focus of the scene at the time has just made the absolute '''worst''' mistake of his life.
37	* The beautiful love theme [[https://youtu.be/PxmyVxu5jAs "I am Hers, She is Mine"]]
38	%%* "They want to play music? Alright, let's play. [[https://youtu.be/bJkg-p2K3eI Drums.]]"
39	* Stannis is coming, [[https://youtu.be/fAPHx-lm3LM don't die with a clean sword!]]
40	* "[[https://youtu.be/SLDYKmPyKzE Stand and fight]]! Stand and fight, damn you! [[https://youtu.be/kQUI9P0ZDIY NOOOOOOOO!!!"]]
41	* The Lannisters' anthem, [[https://youtu.be/ECewrAld3zw The Rains of Castamere]], by Music/TheNational. It's heard throughout the second season from Tyrion whistling it to Lannister soldiers singing it in bars 'til it's finally heard in all its glory in the closing credits of [[Recap/GameOfThronesS2E9Blackwater Blackwater]].
42	* Awesomeness and [[TearJerker tearjerking]] alike can be found in [[https://youtu.be/CpsYmZvYKHU House of the Undying]].

46
47	[[folder: Season 3]]
48	* "Reek, [[http://youtu.be/UEGtf1kEK68 Reek...]] It rhymes with weak..." A chaotic, frantic dark reprise of the Greyjoy leitmotif, it signifies Theon's desperate attempts to cling to his former persona despite his horrific torture. Halfway through the song, the Greyjoy leitmotif completely breaks to give way to a nightmarish, eerie riff that signifies Reek's broken state.
49	* The Hold Steady's version of "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" had polarizing views. Not so with Ms. Reynolds [[https://youtu.be/jNg8FJIFkj8 version!]]
50	** Then there's the [[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E3WalkOfPunishment episode's]] own in-universe rendition with Music/SnowPatrol's lead vocalist Gary Lightbody [[https://youtu.be/vPA0BmlNd20 leading the Bolton contingent in belting out the ribald song!]]
51	** Likewise for Irish Moutarde's [[https://youtu.be/EJ0taPOUnVg Celtic Punk spin on the tune]].
52	*
53	-->'''Daenerys:''' "Dovaogēdys! Āeksia ossēnātās, menti ossēnātās, qilōni pilos lue vale tolvie ossēnātās, yn riñe dōre ōdrikātās. Urnet luo buzdaro tolvio belma pryjātās!"\
54	'''Kraznyz:''' "Nyk skan jiva aeske! Zer sena! Zer sena!"\
55	'''Daenerys:''' [[https://youtu.be/jfWLBhqhQZs "...Dracarys."]]
56	* The piece that plays during the end of [[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E4AndNowHisWatchIsEnded "And Now His Watch is Ended"]], just after Daenerys sacks Astapor is an excellent DarkReprise of the piece that plays when the dragons are born. This shit just got real [[https://youtu.be/-KiYIsUZC6E indeed.]]
57	* This haunting un-aired piece of amazing music, the track [[https://youtu.be/IkTMG-MEFTs 'Dark Wings, Dark Words.']] Chills, man, chills...
58	* The gorgeous tentative ballad, [[https://youtu.be/uBGHSJBH7Gw "It's Always Summer Under the Sea"]], sung by Kerry Ingram's Shireen Baratheon.
59	* [[https://youtu.be/JKPvobiNgB4 "You Know Nothing"]], the heartbreakingly beautiful leitmotif to the StarCrossedLovers Jon Snow and Ygritte. Romantic in the sweetest of ways, but ultimately tragic, [[TrueArtIsAngsty which of course makes it all the more beautiful.]]
60	* Littlefinger's BreakingSpeech music. [[https://youtu.be/k0bp32opLxI "Chaos is a Ladder."]] Made infinitely more awesome when you realise that it's a DarkReprise of Joffrey's "The Throne Is Mine", the DarkReprise of "Robert Baratheon's theme". Which means that Littlefinger just somehow made a villain song even ''more'' villainous!
61	%%* [[https://youtu.be/epnW-Ub5bEE "Jamie... My name is Jamie..." ]]
62	* A small but heart-rending [[https://youtu.be/QflCzFvUPB0 piece]] that plays as Robb and Catelyn arrive back at the Twins.
63	* The instrumental version of "[[https://youtu.be/OolU7f-r5o4 The Rains of Castamere]]" - iconic enough that it became Season 3's semi-official theme song (as in it plays on the Menu for the Blu-ray release). The version that's played during Jaime's rescue of Brienne is called "[[https://youtu.be/iTuhpJBBvCc A Lannister Always Pays His Debts]]". Who'd think a song about the Lannisters butchering an entire family could actually be made to sound so oddly heroic?
64	%%* The rendition of "The Rains of Castamere" played during the Red Wedding feast.
65	* [[https://youtu.be/R6tkcSvX_yY "The Lannisters send their regards".]] The notes punctuating this event made for the true, terrible power of the Red Wedding.
66	* [[https://youtu.be/t987p0f9y54 Mhysa]]. A powerful, epic reprise of Daenerys's theme, complete with [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Valyrian Chanting]].
67	[[/folder]]
68
69	[[folder: Season 4]]
70	* Music/RaminDjawadi's score returns in force for the season's first episode, "[[https://youtu.be/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.
71	* At the end of the episode, as Arya and the Hound emerge victorious from a brutal tavern fight with Lannister loot and are travelling across a [[SceneryGorn war-ravaged Riverlands]] towards the Vale, a remixed variation of the Main Theme plays well into the end credits, which shortly transitions into a TriumphantReprise string variant of [[CallBack Jaqen H'ghar's theme]] [[FridgeBrilliance "Valar Morghulis"]].
72	* From the credits of "The Lion and the Rose", Music/SigurRos' eerie cover of [[https://youtu.be/w3QW8PVyyNM The Rains of Castamere.]] In comparison to the proud, victorious cover by The National, this version would be more apt for a funeral--perfectly symbolizing the Lannisters' new fate. It's tragic, badass, and chilling all at once - especially with the nightmarish wheezing at the end that sounds an awful lot like the [[HellIsThatNoise tortured gasps]] [[RuleOfSymbolism of someone struggling to breathe.]] Rome may not have fallen in a day, but the Lannisters did in a wedding. Even more awesome? The beginning sounds chillingly like [[LaserGuidedKarma wolves howling.]]
73	* Daenerys' conquest of [[https://youtu.be/VE7czS0FdXM Meereen.]] With special mention to the second half of the song, which plays over the slave masters being crucified.
74	* The instrumental rendition of [[https://youtu.be/-QiDD_20bsM Rains of Castamere]] that plays during the credits of "The Laws of Gods and Men" after Tyrion's ''epic'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and demand for a trial by combat, in an upbeat tone suggesting that Tyrion hasn't been defeated yet and still has hope; doubly awesome because it plays after Tyrion finally outright defies his father, symbolically claiming the leitmotif as his own.
75	* In "Mockingbird":
76	** "Winterfell theme" makes a heartwarming return when Sansa plays in the snow.
77	** "Chaos is a Ladder", more chilling than ever, shines during the final credits right after Littlefinger makes Lysa fly.
78	** In "The Mountain and The Viper", the "Winterfell Theme" and "Chaos is a Ladder" are mixed to create the truly chilling "Take Charge of Your Life" to portray Sansa willingly becoming Littlefinger's [[TheDragon Dragon.]]
79	* [[https://youtu.be/EjpUZD7jBJk "The Biggest Fire The North Has Ever Seen"]]. Starts out slow and menacing, and builds slowly but steadily to a pounding climax, as Jon sees Mance's fire and the signal for his army to attack the Wall.
80	* In "The Watchers on the Wall", [[https://youtu.be/x8jyQwUemNM "Let's kill some crows"]] is ''menacing''.
81	* [[https://youtu.be/hoPnrbKOEl8 "Breaker of Chains".]] Such ''feels.'' Poor Rhaegal and Viserion. Given the scene in which it plays (Daenerys chaining her dragons), the title of the song is highly ironic.
82	* [[https://youtu.be/_JYKNqvsbKw "The Children",]] the track for the final scene of the season finale which plays when Arya leaves Westeros on a small ship heading for the free city of Braavos.
83	* [[https://youtu.be/yzfbTWpoZYA "You Are No Son of Mine"]], the DarkReprise of "The Rains of Castamere" that plays over Tyrion's murder of Tywin.
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder: Season 5]]
87	* While things in Meereen yet again take a turn for the worse, the return of Drogon marks a glimmer of hope for Daenerys. And if the music playing over their reunion didn't tug at your heartstrings enough, the credits top this with the [[https://youtu.be/uwUQw456mSU most triumphant rendition]] of Daenerys' theme we've heard yet. It gets played again over the credits of [[WhamEpisode episode 9]].
88	* [[https://youtu.be/sNALErFd5Bs "Kill the Boy"]] can be heard when Jon channels Ned, Theon and Robb by beheading Janos Slynt. Not only is it a variation of "Pay the Iron Price", it contains hints of the Targaryen theme. Let that sink in.
89	* The theme of the [[https://youtu.be/IXOrOBPV-CU Faith Militant]], which also plays over the end credits of the episode 'Sons of the Harpy'. It [[OminousLatinChanting perfectly highlights]] what a [[BlatantLies peaceful and tolerant]] religious order they are...
90	* Episode 6 introduces a [[https://youtu.be/Ar44YS1LlSk new, haunting theme of the Faceless Men]] when Arya wanders around the Hall of Faces for the first time.
91	* The sound design for episode 8, "Hardhome", deserves a mention. From the [[https://youtu.be/IY8Y6yp4yPM ticking clock sounds as the mists set]] to the incredibly tense music during the fight, and the way [[https://youtu.be/d5JqkHuDvr8 the sound cuts out at times during the scene with the child wights]], the episode is a marvel for the sound department.
92	* [[https://youtu.be/imNmJht5iNE "Dance of Dragons"]] kicks in when Drogon arrives in Daznak's Pit to save Daenerys, kills the Sons of the Harpy and then takes off with her on his back. Bonus points for including two of the best House Targaryen themes ("Dracarys" and "Breaker of Chains").
93	* The rendition of "The Rains of Castamere" played in Episode 10 as Cersei climbs the steps of the Red Keep after her [[BreakTheHaughty walk of shame.]] After spending the entire walk only able to push onward with the thought of her home and her son, the song shows at its end that a Lannister's pride is not an easy thing to break.
94	%%* Bronn's rendition of "[[https://youtu.be/QfuOtoPBFw4 The Dornishman's Wife]]".
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder: Season 6]]
98	* Melisandre's theme music, "The Red Woman", which plays at the end of the premiere episode, is a slightly different remix which highlights the shocking reveal of her true form. It manages to capture her loss of faith and yet its upbeat tone in the credits shows that this is not the end for her.
99	%%* "Feed the Hounds", the music that plays during the chase scene when Sansa and Theon are escaping Ramsay's men.
100	* "Lord of Light", the credits music that plays at the end of Episode 2, shortly after the return of a certain heroic bastard from death. It's a call back to the music that plays during the resurrection of Beric Dondarion in season 3.
101	* [[https://youtu.be/Y3IwIB7yfO8#t=2m38s "The Tower"]], the music that plays at the Tower of Joy flashback where Ned found his dying sister, Lyanna, and was given her baby which he was promised to protect him. It's even more amazing while this piece is playing the Stark theme, we get a close-up on the baby's face and then, it cuts to the close-up of Jon Snow, which confirms the "R+L=J" theory.
102	%%* "Coronation", the rendition of "What is Dead may never Die" that plays during Euron's AwesomeMomentOfCrowning.
103	* At the end of episode 4, Daenerys gets brand-new renditions of her kickass "Dracarys" and "Finale" themes. The latter can be found on the official soundtrack and is aptly titled "Khaleesi".
104	* "Service of the Gods", which includes the House Baratheon theme. It plays as Tommen announces the holy alliance between the crown and the faith to restore glory to the Seven Kingdoms and shows how he has been purged of his Lannister roots, and that House Baratheon is reborn with him. It also effectively signifies the High Sparrow triumph against the Lannister-Tyrell alliance.
105	* "Blood of My Blood", aka the glorious new version of "Breaker of Chains" that plays as Daenerys rallies the Dothraki in episode 6.
106	* The conclusion of the siege of Riverrun gives us a triumphant rendition of "The Rains of Castamere", played along with the formidable display of Lannister army marching through the fallen castle.
107	* [[https://youtu.be/ciQJHJgrcYI The Battle of the Bastards]] is the most epic moment of the season, and it naturally has a soundtrack to match.
108	* Meanwhile in Essos, Daenerys declares the beginning of her [[https://youtu.be/AYdexXUQgxk Reign]] and, with the combined firepower of her three dragons, makes short work of the Masters' armada.
109	* [[https://youtu.be/zmxVw_6kQ3c Trust Each Other]], an epic, triumphant composition played when the [[TheCavalry Knights of the Vale]] ride in. Sansa is shown with a rendition of the Stark theme played in the fluted style of the Eyrie's music.
110	* [[https://youtu.be/pS-gbqbVd8c "Light of the Seven"]], a gorgeous and haunting funeral dirge that plays over the lead-up to Cersei's destruction of Baelor's Sept with wildfire. Notably, it starts with and emphasizes the piano, an unusual choice for a song in the series, thus making the viewer unnerved, sensing immediately that something's off.
111	* [[https://youtu.be/xHnFhooKHk0 "Hear Me Roar"]] combines both "The Rains of Castamere" and "Light of the Seven" to perfectly illustrate that the new ruler has come to rule Westeros: Cersei of House Lannister, the First of Her Name.
112	* [[https://youtu.be/U7FOAib5WF8 "Winter Has Come"]], the song that combines elements of both the main theme and "King in the North", playing during Jon Snow's AwesomeMomentOfCrowning.
113	* [[https://youtu.be/j34Xa6DGi4s "The Winds of Winter"]], the song that plays as Daenerys and her massive fleet set sail for Westeros. It combines the obligatory ''Game of Thrones'' main theme with the themes of House Targaryen and House Greyjoy.
114	[[/folder]]
115
116	[[folder:Season 7]]
117	* [[https://youtu.be/VM-sCf2LDcs "Hands of Gold"]], the song Symon Silver Tongue wrote in ''A Storm of Swords'', is wonderful as expected from Music/EdSheeran. Even Arya likes it.
118	* [[https://youtu.be/vomq7hPTVng Dragonstone]], used in part of Daenerys's return to her long sought-after birthplace of Dragonstone. The themes used throughout make it perfectly clear that a Targaryen has come home.
119	* Episode 6 uses the absolutely breathtaking piece [[https://youtu.be/AqdekMQuFh0?t=276 "Against All Odds"]] to illustrate Daenerys's GunshipRescue of the Suicide Squad.
120	* The crown jewel of the whole Season 7 soundtrack: [[https://youtu.be/Q4_Psg5mV4c "Truth"]], the Targaryen-Stark love theme, from Episode 7.
121	* [[https://youtu.be/TFGHQjHt470 Ironborn]] easily helps with Theon's redemption come the end of the season, first beginning with a simple reprise of the Greyjoy theme before going all out with drums. [[ArcWords What is dead may never die]].
122	* You have to give it to the Lannisters. They may be the most pompous, ponderous cunts the gods ever suffered to walk the world but they do have the best victory theme as heard in the [[https://youtu.be/cl76ev2GNdE Lion's Legacy]].
123	** [[https://youtu.be/DzxNfni04CI The Queen's Justice]] from the episode bearing the same name brings a suitably awesome conclusion to an episode proving Cersei is far from out of the fight yet with a uniquely powerful interpretation of [[VillainSong "The Rains of Castamere"]], as well as serving a grim funeral dirge for Houses Tyrell and Martell. "Now the rains weep o'er their halls and not a soul to hear".
124	* [[https://youtu.be/h9fGJcpeRTM "Army of the Dead"]] is a great track to end the season and it is played when the White Walkers finally destroy Eastwatch and at the same time, one portion of the wall with the use of the undead dragon and the wight army marches towards the Seven Kingdoms. The sinister rendition of the main theme coupled with the chant would make Master Music/HansZimmer proud.
125	* [[https://youtu.be/nmMaZXAahCs "Winter Is Here"]], a beautiful, haunting rendition of the main theme that plays when Jaime leaves King's Landing after Cersei dishonours the truce with Daenerys while snow begins to fall, indicating that winter has reached the Crownlands. The end isn't quite here, but it's close, and this encapsulates that fact perfectly. Some people have expressed their desire for this to be [[EvolvingMusic the opening theme for Season 8]].
126	* [[https://youtu.be/TdYU4ZNfFCQ "I Am the Storm"]] shows Euron Greyjoy's BigEntrance as he and his men show their ferocity while ambushing Yara's fleet.
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Season 8]]
130	* Episode 2 gives us "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://youtu.be/eTa1jHk1Lxc official video]].
131	* Episode 3's [[https://youtu.be/k1frgt0D_f4 "The Night King."]] Musically, it's reminiscent of Season 6's "Light of the Seven", with the plaintive piano notes conveying the same undertones of imminent catastrophe. Things have definitively gone bad once it starts playing and only get worse as it continues: several named characters are dead or dying, the wights are inside Winterfell, the White Walkers are closing in on Bran in the Godswood after overwhelming Theon and the Ironborn, civilians are being slaughtered in the supposedly-safe crypts, Jon is eventually cornered by the undead Viserion, Jorah and Daenerys are stranded on the battlefield and completely surrounded, both of her living dragons are out of commission, and the surviving defenders are facing certain doom after the Night King raised their fallen comrades against them. The situation for the living deteriorates as the music intensifies, then goes silent right as the Night King reaches for his sword to kill Bran... [[BigDamnHeroes and then Arya Stark lunges out of the darkness, Valyrian steel dagger in hand.]] The haunting OneWomanWail from "Light of the Seven" [[note]]the part that sounds like Arya's name[[/note]] matches up perfectly with the end of "The Night King", Arya's awesome moment.
132	* [[https://youtu.be/2lpojrxaxE4 The Battle of Winterfell]], in particular the sections that play during the Dothraki charge, and where Melisandre ignites the Dothraki's weapons, is stunning, managing to convey a HopeSpot just through the power of the music alone.
133	* Episode 3 also [[https://youtu.be/QOO6wJy1Ivo modifies the White Walker theme]] [[https://youtu.be/ZDAN70ow4bI to incorporate]] very sinister low pitched instrumentation, giving it an almost ''Terminator''-esque vibe. Considering the near-unstoppable inhuman opposition who feels nothing and will never give up, this is a surprisingly apt comparison.
134	* [[RunningGag Yet another track]] from "The Long Night" is [[https://youtu.be/p79GqP9Tl-0 Dead Before the Dawn]], which manages to capture the cost of victory. The section that plays during Jorah's death is particularly moving.
135	* After "The Long Night", "Last of the Starks" opens with the hauntingly beautiful [[https://youtu.be/OHB0g3u7M3M "Farewell"]], which plays as the people of the North are burning the fallen from the previous episode's battle, and manages to convey the heartbreak and sadness of every character that died in the battle.
136	* "[[https://youtu.be/3Zrw98ErP98 Master of War]]", the haunting melody that plays in the finale when Daenerys finally lays her eyes on the Iron Throne.
137	* "[[https://youtu.be/F8Cn8shOG7I The Iron Throne]]", a somber combination of Daenerys's theme and the main theme that plays during Drogon's final scene.
138	* The finale gives us "[[https://youtu.be/Izj3IsXi6Gs The Last of the Starks]]", a fully-realized arrangement of the main theme mixed with the Stark theme and Arya's leitmotif plays during the end montage, where Jon, Sansa, and Arya are shown beginning their new lives, having survived the overwhelming odds against each of them and heading in their own directions, each suited to their character.
139	* And finally, for the first time and for the last time, "[[https://youtu.be/HppOkD89ntQ A Song of Ice and Fire]]", a reprise of the main theme, but this time, with an EtherealChoir added in. No doubt some may take this as symbolically representing everyone involved as well as everyone who watched and enjoyed the show and story joining together for one final send-off and to wish all of their favorite characters good luck in whatever paths their lives will lead them on now.

143	* HBO is great at finding true alternative pop music gems for the season trailers:
144	** [[https://youtu.be/Hl3vgPjKmUo Seven Devils]] by Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine for Season Two's debut trailer.
145	** Season Three's fantastic debut trailer music, the anthem [[https://youtu.be/XybgKnfVCTE Bones]] by Music/MsMr.
146	** Season Four continues the tradition with [[https://youtu.be/iwT3DIIXWNA Feral Love]] by Music/ChelseaWolfe.
147	*** More than one great piece for this year! Including: [[https://youtu.be/qUKyEhbxhjw Cities in Dust]] by The Everlove and for the second trailer 'Vengeance'.
148	*** For the fourth final trailer: [[https://youtu.be/i3_I-5o8e2Q The Devil Inside]] by London Grammar.
149	** The Season Five trailer has a reworked low-key cover of Music/DavidBowie's "Heroes". "I will be King. You will be Queen. We can be Heroes, just for one day." The second trailer has [[https://youtu.be/a3onv6buEt4 Rather Death Than Slavery]] from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity''.
150	** A little known TV spot for Season Five used the epic [[https://youtu.be/C5BR_TqWYrc Dark Doo Wop]] by a familiar artist to scoring Thrones' trailers, Music/MsMr. The world's gonna burn in dragon-fire.
151	** Apparently it's cover versions now: for Season Six, they decided for a light acoustic guitar cover of Chris Isaak's [[https://youtu.be/5nNMdfW1g1g "Wicked Game", performed by Vincent McMorrow]] with a shot interlude of epic battle music for the fighting snippets. The second trailer was even better, with tribal like war music that is ready to pump viewers for the epicness to come in the new season.
152	** [[https://youtu.be/JxWfvtnHtS0 The season's teaser]] is set to "Sit Down" by James, appropriately setting up the mood for the showdown to come as the major rulers left (Jon, Daenerys, and Cersei) walk towards their respective seat of power and sit.
153	** The first trailer of Season 7 uses [[https://youtu.be/GV0aGPK_nfc The Hit House's "Propellant"]] which is sort of a bombastic successor to the House Targaryen theme, "Dracarys".
154	** The second trailer of Season 7 reuses the beautiful and haunting [[https://youtu.be/1Mlhnt0jMlg "Light of the Seven"]] from the last episode of Season 6.
155	* HBO commissioned a hip-hop mixtape for the Season 4 premiere featuring the likes of Wale, Common, and Big Boi, and it is [[https://soundcloud.com/catchthethrone glorious!]]
