Game of Thrones

So I was having a Game of Thrones marathon in preparation for season three and I heard a song in season two that sent some serious shivers down my side. It's a gorgeous song that I heard in a the end credits and had to shazam immediately. It's called The Rains of Castamere. The song is about Tyrion Lannister and how he destroyed House Reyne after they tried to rebel against his house. The main purpose of the song is to remind people not to cross a Lannister.(lol this makes no sense to the people who don't watch it but whateves)

I like it because it's an actual song in the show that the characters are aware of and talk to each other about. It's also played in pieces at major events but it took the cake when they played in the credits after The Battle of Blackwater. Also whoever sang it, I am in love with their voice.
                                       
I think the reason I got major shivers was because the entire episode was brutal and intense. It was loud and full of chaos and while the battle was outside, the queen was sitting quietly at the Iron Throne with her son about to drink the poison. Then backup came and the Lannisters prevailed at the end. It was dramatic and suspenseful and that's when the song played calmly and basically saying "Don't fuck with the Lannisters". It gave me shivers.
