Lady_of_the_black Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 On 6/8/2016 at 5:01 AM, OuttaOldtown said: So many Grateful Dead songs, Lady With a Fan (phase one of Terepin Station) is one I overlooked for years as being connected to ASoIaF, reminds me of visions & prophecies.. Let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythmThat will not forsake me, till my tale is told and doneWhile the fire lights aglow, strange shadows from the flames will growTill things we've never seen will seem familiarShadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair, all swarmDown in Carlisle he loved a lady many years agoHere beside him stands a man, a soldier by the looks of him, Who came through many fights, but lost at loveWhile the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks, Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing thereEyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fairShe takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?I will not forgive you if you will not take the chanceThe sailor gave at least a try; the soldier, being much too wise,Strategy was his strength, and not disasterThe sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at himThat's how it stands today. You decide if he was wise The story teller makes no choice, soon you will not hear his voiceHis job is to shed light, and not to masterSince the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold In hopes he will come back, but he cannot be bought or sold. I see a few grateful dead tunes, I can't believe nobody has said mountains of the moon yet. It fits perfect! Especially the part about all the dancing kings and wives.. I'll post a link below so you can take a listen.. It even sounds like it belongs in this world.. Cold mountain water, the jade merchant's daughter, Mountains of the moon, electra bow and bend to me. Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me. Hey, Tom Banjo hey a laurel, more than laurel you say sow. More than laurel you may sow. Hey, the laurel, hey the city in the rain, Hey, hey, hey the wild wheat waving in the wind. Twenty degrees of solitude, twenty degrees in all, All the dancing kings and wives assembled in the hall. Lost is the long and loneliest town fairly sybil flying. All along the, all along the mountains of the moon. Hey, Tom Banjo it's time to matter, The earth will see you on through this time, The earth will see you on through this time. Down by the water, the Marsh King's daughter, did you know? Clothed in totters always will be. Tom, where did you go? Mountains of the moon, Electra, mountains of the moon, All along the, all along the mountains of the moon.

Lord Wraith Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Falconer: Mindtraveller It reminds me a lot of Bran's arc. I travel over high mountainsThrough deep valleys and forestsCrossing great riversIn search of knowledge of the godsFrom far beyond place and timeI hear a whispering wind,It tells me to strive onThrough the horizon of my thoughtsI am the mindtravellerMy quest is man's destinyTeach me secret holy spellsAnd the wisdom of the elderlyGazing into my mindEntering my soul.Is there not a secret to unfold.(Here I have advices to be told)I am the mindtravellerSeeking wisdom of yoreI am the mindexplorerStriving to know so much moreSpirits of history fill my soulWith divine old wordsI am on the right trackOut of the haze I'll emergeI reach unknown cronersIn the back of my mindNever been here beforeStill I recognise it all.I hear the whispering voicesClearly all around me,Echoing in the valleyWhere magic intellect dwellsFinally I can see the blindNot knowing why they exists,I hear laments of nature,Where led the path we missed?

Adam Targaryen Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Someone already wrote this in a similar thread, but "Seven Nation Army" is perfect for ASOIAF. It would fit for several characters that have been fighting against all of Westeros, have been trying or are going to do so in the future; The Night's King, Aegon the Conqueror, Robert Baratheon(not all of Westeros but you get it) and so forth I also think it could be a really good song for Arya("And I'm talking to myself at night because I can't forget" etc. "Everyone knows about it. From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell" makes me think of Cersei and the Cleganes, BTW, which would also fit in with Arya's vengeance arc.)

A_Man_Is_No_One Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Not sure if someone said this already, I haven't been through all the replies butBroken Crown by Mumford & Sons It could apply to multiple characters, mostly Starks such as Ned, Robb and Jon. However lots of Mumford & Sons songs remind me of ASOIAF and it's characters.)Believe (Davos, Stannis, Sansa, basically any character that isn't sure of what they believe or who they are.)Hopeless Wanderer (Arya, The Hound, Tyrion, any character that feels hopeless, or that they don't belong, and wanders.)Little Lion Man (Tyrion, basically the perfect song for him. Could apply to Jaime as well.)Winter Winds (Jon, Sam, Robb, characters in the North who struggle with love and the circumstances like Jon and Sam being in the Night's Watch and loving wildlings and Robb being already betrothed to another woman.)Liar (Theon, Tyrion, characters who are seen as cowards and liars.)Lovers Eyes (Jon, Sam, Robb, same as Winter Winds basically. Characters who are in love and struggle with it.)Sigh No More (Cersei & Jaime, Jon & Ygritte, couples whose love brings out the best in each others lives.)Timshel (Jon & Sam, Bran & Meera, strong friendships.)

HowlandReed'sWorth Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Dire Wolf by the Grateful Dead as well"In the timbers to Fennario, the wolves are running roundThe winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground" Uncle John's Band has t's a buck dancer's choice my friend better take my adviceYou know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knowsLike the morning sun you come and like the wind you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliWolf Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think the funniest one I can think of for Melisandre would be "This little light of mine". At least I think it's funny. Like I think this is hilarious listening to it and thinking of her Off the top of the head some others would be: "I'm Coming Home" by Diddy ft Skylar Grey is Dany's theme song as she's flying to Westeros. "Day n Night" by Kid Cudi can fit Arya right now if you change the gender of the song. Basically it's all about being alone. "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses seems like it could fit LittleFinger thinking of Sansa. "Knocking on Heaven Door" by Guns N' Roses fits Jon well.

Harlaw's Book the Sequel Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 On June 16, 2016 at 6:26 PM, Lady Blizzardborn said: "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton. Saw a mention in the comments on YouTube about how King George sounds a lot like Ramsay Bolton in this and I can't un-notice that now. I can see why you would think of Ramsay. Though when I listened to it Aerys II came to my mind. Another Hamilton song that made think of ASOIAF was "Washington On Your Side." While its lyrics may not be directly applicable I think the spirit and sentiment really capture how Marsh and his faction feel about Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

house of dayne Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 All Along the Watchtower There must be some kind of way outta here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Business men, they drink my wine Plowman dig my earth None were level on the mind Nobody up at his word Hey, hey No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us stop talkin' falsely now The hour's getting late, hey All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl Songwriters: BOB DYLAN © BOB DYLAN MUSIC CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house of dayne Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 another one that slipped the cracks.. Red Right Hand by Nick Cave Take a little walk to the edge of town Go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a red right hand He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul But there won't be a single thing That you can do. He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a red right hand You ain't got no money? He'll get you some You ain't got no car? He'll get you one You ain't have no self-respect, you feel like an insect Well don't you worry buddy, cause here he comes Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his red right hand (Organ solo) You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen And hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand (Organ solo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house of dayne Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 forgive me, but one more came to mind..different war but the themes resonate... The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Songwriters ROBBIE ROBERTSON Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train 'Till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin' they went La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me "Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E Lee" Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest, But they should never have taken the very best The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin' they went La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, Like my father before me, I will work the land Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet, You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing, The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin', they went Na, la, na, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringing, The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin', they went Na, la, na, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
