Just for fun. Music to kill Others!


White Ravens

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty intrigued by dragonglass and recently Googled obsidian to try to learn a bit more about it. I was surprised to learn that Technics produced an audio turntable in the 70s that was made from a solid block of obsidian (the SH-10B3). So I had this goofy idea that it could be used as an ultimate secret weapon for killing Others! If a very loud adio turntable made of dragonglass were set up on the Wall to blast loud music northward, what songs would you play to kill Others?



I chose Disco Inferno. Burn baby, burn!



Now I know that the technology doesn't actually exist for this to work in Westeros, but please play along with me.

Gruppe aus dem Tartarus, Schiller/Schubert.

Fischer-Dieskau, baritone

Alexander Kipnis, bass:

The title means "Group out of Tartarus" Let me see if I can dig up the text and translation

Okay, here is Schiller's poem:

Horch - wie Murmeln des empörten Meeres,

Wie durch hohler Felsen Becken weint ein Bach,

Stöhnt dort dumpfigtief ein schweres,

leeres Qualerpreßtes

Ach! Schmerz verzerret

Ihr Gesicht, Verzweiflung sperret l

Ihren Rachen fluchend auf.

Hohl sind ihre Augen ihre Blicke Spähen

bang nach des Cocytus Brücke,

Folgen tränend seinem Trauerlauf.

Fragen sich einander ängstlich leise,

Ob noch nicht Vollendung sei!

Ewigkeit schwingt über ihnen Kreise,

Bricht die Sense des Saturns entzwei.

Translated:

Hark - like the murmuring of the angry sea,

like a brook weeping through hollow, rocky gullies,

you can hear over there, deeply muffled,

a heavy, toneless groan, extracted with torment!

Pain contorts their faces, despair opens

their jaws with curses.

Hollow are their eyes: their gaze

rests anxiously on Cocytus' bridge,

and they follow Cocytus' sad course with tears.

They ask one another softly with fear

whether the end has not yet come!

Eternity whirls above them in circles,

breaking Saturn's scythe in two.

Here is the Wiki Entry for Tartarus:

The Cocytus was one of the rivers of Hades.:

The poem and song are, in short, a vision of hell.

But it is a hot hell, I think, which would do unto the Others.

Wow, powerful music! The Others don't stand a chance.
