To quote Olenna Redwyne in the third Game of Thrones book, A Storm of Swords, “I do so hope he plays ‘The Rains of Castamere,’ it’s been an hour, I’ve forgotten how it goes.” The song’s as omnipresent in King’s Landing as “Cantina Band” is in the Mos Eisley Cantina, and during last night’s shocking episode, Sigur Rós’ slow, draining cover foretold that terrible things were about to happen.
And they did. Terrible, AMAZING things.
