WoT: The music of A Game of Thrones (ASOIAF)

With a name like “A Song of Ice and Fire”, you can expect that music plays an important role in George RR Martin’s books. While the TV series has an incredible soundtrack already, rarely do we hear music that is actually mentioned in the books.

Well, leave it to fans of the series to actually create the pieces, or at least some interesting interpretations. We’ve collected as many individual songs that we could find, sharing them with you below. We know there are several interpretations of each song, so we’ve only highlighted one of each. If you know of any more, feel free to let us know in the comments!

Put the headphones on, sit back, and enjoy!
