Songs that Make Us Think of A Song of Ice and Fire


Lost Melnibonean

Recommended Posts

The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult for The Kindly Man.

Fairies Wear Boots by Black Sabbath for Gared. Song came on the radio and my eleven year old asked, "I know this is Black Sabbath, but what's this song about, Dad?" So I told him, "It's about a dude having a bad day. He sees fairies wearing boots and dancing with a dwarf, but nobody believes him." The boy responded, "That makes no sense." Well, drawing upon my inner Eddard, I told my son, "A mad man sees what he sees." :)

Stannis Baratheon: "Let It Go" from "Frozen". (Stannis! Let it go! Geddit? Har!)

Lord Snow: Johnny Cash's "Man in Black". Goes nice with both his wardrobe and his savior complex. " I wear it for the sick and lonely old, For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men..."

And, while we're at Johnny Cash: especially for Quentyn Martell, but also for Jorah Mormont and any schmuck who would, has or will fall in love with Daenerys Stormborn: "Ring of Fire" by June Carter. "Love is a burning thing, And it makes a fiery ring. Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire...".

Moving on - "Master of the House" from Les Miserables somehow makes me think of Littlefinger, his politics, business and diplomacy. But, to think of it, it fits just as well the Lord of the Crossing we all love to hate.

Might seem a little (lot) silly but I have three queen songs I hear on my head:

Cersei Baratheon sings "we are the champions" in moments of self congratulations or expectation of victory 

Jamie about to go into combat singing "we(I) will rock you"

tyrion bron and possibly pod singing Fat Bottom Girls in any drinking scene 

And the song 'icehouse' by Australian band flowers kind of puts me in mind of John and how alone he feels

Metal contra as nuvens (Metal against the clouds*)

By Legião Urbana (Urban Legion*)

 

 

I am slave to no one, neither lord of my domain.

I know what I must defend, and for valor I have and fear that now it undoes it.

 

We traveled seven leagues, between abysses and forests;

By god, I never saw me so alone;

And the faith itself is what destroys;

These are disloyal days.

 

I am metal, lightning, bolt and thunder.

I am metal, I am the eye in your coat of arms.

I am metal, the wise breath of the dragon.

 

I recognize my grief, when all is betrayal, what I come to meet, is the virtue in other hands.

 

My land, is the land that is mine, it always be   my land, have the moon, have stars, it always will.

 

I almost believed in your promise, and what I see is hunger and destruction.

I lost my seal and my sword;

I lost my castle and my princess.

I almost believed, almost believed;

And for honor if there is truth:

There are the fools and there is the thieve;

And there are those who feed from what is plunder.

But I will keep my treasure, in case you are lying.

 

Look the breath of the dragon;

Look the breath of the dragon;

Look the breath of the dragon;

Look the breath of the dragon!

 

Is the truth that haunts;

The neglect that condemns;

The stupidity that destroy;

I see all that is gone, and what exists no more;

I have my senses already numbed;

The body want, the soul understand;

This is the nobody’s land;

I know that I must resist;

I want the sword in my hands.

 

I am metal, lightning, bolt and thunder;

I am metal, I am the eye in your coat of arms;

I am metal, the wise breath of the dragon.

 

I don’t give up without fighting, still I have heart;

I didn’t learned to surrender;

So fall to the enemy then.

 

Everything passes, Everything shall pass on

Everything passes, Everything shall pass on

Everything passes, Everything shall pass on

 

And our story, won’t be, inward like this, without a happy ending;

We will have pretty things to tell. Huumm…

And until then, let’s live, we have much still to do;

Don’t look back, we have just started;

The world starts now;

We had just begun.

 

 

*My personal translation from portuguese, as well as the whole lyrics.
