That Spotify playlist

[a girl knows nothing]

Has anyone taken the time to wade through the Season 8 Spotify playlist to find out which song/songs foretold the ending as D&D claimed?

[Eltharion21]

Well if someone really cared they could look for lyrics of each song, and compare it to events in the finale, but in a words of unknown great sage: "aint nobody got time for that!"

 

Jk aside I am only familiar with "Immigrant Song" — Led Zeppelin, "Toxicity" — System of a Down and "Love Is Blindness" — U2, technically you could always something to link the song and some literary work though matches wouldn't be 100% for an example "Love is blindness/Love is the death of duty".

 

I personally linked Iron Maiden lyrics "The Red and the Black" to Targaryen Dance of Dragons through use of "comparison stretcher" I am aware that song is about something else and beginning doesn't fit:

Quote

 

The black jack king and the red queen clash  (Aegon and Rhaenyra)
The artful dodger he counts his stash (Tyland Lannister)
The joker’s wild like an impish child    (Mushroom)
While madame fortune she waits inside    (Alys Rivers)
The good luck charm is overkill (?)
The tired old soldier says fire at will (Daemon/Corlys)
Planes overhead go search destroy  (Dragons)
The ones below human decoy      (Common soldiery/Cole in Rook's Rest)

I need somebody to save me

Meanwhile we play the waiting game
The clock is struck the horse is lame       (Lame horse/ Clubfoot)
And when we think that this is done
Chance your luck a four leafed one
You hedge your bets the battle lost
To wait in vain and count the cost
The thin edged line
Between good and bad
And cast the luck be happy sad

I need somebody to save me

The red and the black
People don’t want the truth
Look in their eyes and you send them away
The red and the black
Fate and hypocrisy
Burden’s a heavy load there is no doubt
The red and the black
All out of luck again
How many chances can anyone have
The red and the black
Treachery out to win
There in the wrong place and at the wrong time

 

Last part is linked mostly to resolution of conflict that was won mostly through use of treachery.

"The Dance was a war unlike any other ever fought in the long history of the Seven Kingdoms. Though armies marched and met in savage battle, much of the slaughter took place on water, and…especially…in the air, as dragon fought dragon with tooth and claw and flame. It was a war marked by stealth, murder, and betrayal as well, a war fought in shadows and stairwells, council chambers and castle yards with knives and lies and poison."
