As the Night King continues his journey across Westeros, emotions and drama increase with everyone's favorite and beloved characters. Game of Thrones took things to another level last night, and to help them out producers of the show called upon Florence and The Machine to close out the episode with a brand-new song called “Jenny Of Oldstones.”
“We've always been huge fans of Florence's music, and the season two trailer with her song, 'Seven Devils,' was possibly the most powerful we've ever had," series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss explained in a joint press release. “So, the opportunity to hear her otherworldly voice on our show was always at the forefront of our minds. We're still pleasantly shocked that she agreed to sing 'Jenny of Oldstones,' and we're in love with the result."
“When I first heard the song it sounded like a Celtic lullaby to me," Florence Welch said in her statement to the press. "Celtic music has always been in my blood, so I felt like I could do something with it. The magic and ritual in Game of Thrones, not to mention the costumes, have always appealed to me. I am honored to be a part of the final season."
With the tension building to a breaking point, at least we have “Jenny of Oldstones” to tide us over until next week’s eagerly anticipated installment.
