A Lion's Legacy (Music Monday)

April 15, 2019 by James Young 2 Comments

I’m a huge fan of Game of Thrones.  Even if I’ve given up on George R.R. Martin ever finishing the series (writer’s block is a thing), I do enjoy what HBO has done with Westeros and the story arc.
One of the big things is the evolution of the Lannisters.  Without getting too much into Season 7, suffice to say there are several major turning points where you see Tyrion, Jaime, and Cersei all take major steps to both grow out of their father’s shadow and apply what Tywin taught them.  This piece covers one of those times, and I applaud Ramin Djawadi’s ability to weave a theme (in this case, “The Rains of Castamere”) to enhance what is occurring on screen.  If I ever get any of my books made into a TV show, I can only hope that there’s a composer who can do the same.

    I don’t have HBO, so I’ve never seen a single episode… 🙂
