Have you been watching Game of Thrones? If yes, good for you! You get a cookie! If not, what's wrong with you? Do you hate good things or something? Go watch. Read this first and all that. But then go. I'm watching you.
The National, the Cincinnati band of the deep voice and the self proclaimed meaningless name, have recorded a version of The Rains of Castamere. The song is from the Song of Ice & Fire book series and tells the story of the crushing of the rebellion of House Castamere by Tywin Lannister. All of which would make sense if you JUST WENT AND WATCHED THE SHOW. But really, the song is gorgeously chilling with Matt Berringer's black velvet vocals gently held up by droning strings.
Now! Here's your cookie. You can download the song here. I'm sure it's definitely legitimate. Definitely. Just don't tell Tywin. Otherwise the fate of House Castamere will be your own.
