Every time I hear this intro it sends a chill down the spine

[Hey_its_Koda]

Prepare my horses. Stage the armies and begin our march forth. The battle is to begin.

[ScarletCypher]

Did anyone watch till the end and see all the times Joffrey got hurt. A nice little touch.

[PiscesRising]

Folks of Westeros, thank you so much for your kind words - it really means a lot. I'm currently in the middle of dissertation writing and exam revision, but more 'epic' videos (a little different...!) will be coming soon, along with links to the individual tracks and maybe even a 'making of' for this video! Thank you again and keep it epic.

[PiscesRising]

It's been a while, but there's been lots of recording and I'm currently mixing the next track due for release In the mean time THANK YOU !! 5 million views and 10k subs... 2016 should be epic. The kind comments and loads of support - it's amazing! Thank you for sticking by, each track takes a long time but am working away. Who knows, might be another Game of Thrones one in time for season 6 ;)

[witendias]

Masterpiece! We will never forget the impact this series made on all the fans! This music transport us immediately to a fantasy world that brings the nicest feelings to the soul.

[not_today]

The winter is coming, we miss you💔💔💔💔

[PiscesRising]

Arranging brass, string, winds, percussion, choir and solo sessions over the coming months, trying to at least! In the mean time, how would you guys feel about audio-only, midi-mock-up tracks?

[sharonkaysnowton]

I love the GOT and HOTD music. These young people are excellent musicians. None of them look older than 25 years old and much talent. I also love the hi-lights shown. Thanks for sharing.

[zack]

[li]

Goddamned the end with Joffrey was so pleasurable.

[mohammeddail]

Music is the most beautiful expressive language and the fastest way to reach the heart, love and communicate between peoples.
Thanks very much

Doesn't the piano solo give you life?!!!😊😍

[pipikaka]

I cant get this music out of my head its to cool :/

[kimwang]

Laura's voice humbles me. The orchestra itself makes me appreciate that we each have a part to play in this life

[hunterfulke]

I want these people to Play this song at my funeral

[ers]

Folks. Don't miss the final seconds of the video! Just past the credits.

[adeliapujianito]
