Beautiful rendition. I know a lot of people aren't crazy about her since she's not Batman like Arya, but I can relate to Sansa. I was a starry-eyed kid myself until the world twisted up my dreams. I grew up lucky but found out things aren't always as sweet as they promise. It's a hard lesson and one you never forget, so I can sympathize with her character. It makes me love reading her chapters.

[@knightrider5050]

at first I didn't like Sansa, thought she was a bit spoiled, but man, she's had it so rough.

[@IIEchoII]

Yeah same. But I still hate her

[@daughterofpalestine7130]

@@IIEchoII Why?

[@tessamtd]

I think all the starks were a bit spoiled at the beggining

[@greendragon2875]

Same. I first hated her, and noe i love her

[@jamiemohan2049]

She was only 13 in season 1. She is also the most realistic

[@nmmknh8997]

Sansa is by far one of the best characters in the entire franchise. She is so strong and beautiful. She had it so bad. Poor child had it worst. Deserved the crown!!

[@Kanikanihia]

Oh my... I cried when I read the passage where she sings this. For me that small moment is the most beautiful in all the books. The saddest, most hopeless, but yet the most perfect moment, an eye in the storm that was raging around her and Sandor. You, Karliene, did it justice, it sounds just like I imagined it. Thank you! :)

[@diyanagung9152]

[@tessamtd]

Sansa's chapters are the best. She is so sensitive. It stills hurts me to think of that quote,"a godswood without gods, as empty as me"

[@tessamtd]

@@emiliawaldmann2109 i hope so too! I just love her, really

[@yuukikisaragi1089]

Finally something for Sansa! Everyone gives her so much undeserved crap and this is just beautiful and it made my day.

[@Daavlot]

This song tells exactly why I love Sansa! :)

[@LordRumple]

Sansa is an ignorant twat that got her father killed.

[@TheSzyszus]

Lord Rumple WAS, it's different.

[@agriggs6]

Lord Rumple You can't read. Ned got himself killed. He should have never told Cersei he knew about her and Jamie. Sansa trapped herself. She only told Cersei that she and Arya was leaving. Ned was going to stay behind. He would have still been imprison. Joffrey last minute decided to kill him. Learn to read.

[@LordRumple]

agriggs6 The next time you want to chastise someone on reading comprehension try not to make so many grammatical errors. Sansa forced Cersei to act.

[@DavidbarZeus1]

Lord Rumple Maybe so, but Cersei would have still arrested Ned, and Joffrey would have still killed Ned. The only thing that could have changed is Arya and Sansa's fate.

Lyrics ❤️ Gentle mother Font of mercy Save our sons from war We pray Stay the swords And stay the arrows Let them know a better day Gentle mother Strength of women Help our daughters Through this fray Soothe the wrath And tame the fury Teach us all a kinder way

[@laratamee2944]

Thanks:)

[@tyler0896]

Still one of my favorite chapters in any book. On the surface it might come off weepy and girly, but the way it gets across the concept of imminent doom is spectacular. Lordlings and paupers thinking nothing of sitting next to one another is less a lesson about everyone being the same in life, and more a conceit that everyone is the same when faced with death. And the idea that a church (sept) can be blazingly bright and even HOT just from candles, each one lit for someone who could be dead soon ..... the chapter could be even better than the actual battle.

[@lukebuck3750]

***** Chapter 57 in A Clash of Kings

[@Astralaeyna]

Still makes me tear up even 2 years later

[@applebee39]

This is a beautiful song. It couldn't describe Sansa more. Gentle but incredible strong.

[@coloureleven]

This is perfect That chapter is so beautiful I can imagine Sandor crying after hearing this My heartt I started crying too Love your voice

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

I know this was sung during the War of the Five Kings, but I can't help but sing along with Syria in mind.

[@mafaldaviana9060]

Wars may be different in place, time, strategy and terror but it's still war. Deep down, it's all the same, even if it's just fiction. This song can be about the War of the Five Kings but it can also be Syria, the World Wars, the War of Independence, the Civil War (many of the ones that existed throughout time)... All wars are the same. It's all a point of view.

[@theogoltzman5372]

Agreed. Why do you think the Iliad is still on the reading lists of many military academies? It is the same beast as has always gnawed at men, since sticks and stones were first thrown.

[@jessicacaron5084]

It's a hymn for anyone in a time of war.

[@siomhe8539]

That’s George’s point. War hurts the innocent and benefits the invulnerable

[@avellinabalestri]

Wow. Deeply, deeply heart-rending. In a sense, I feel like this is almost the singular most apparent "moment of grace" for Westeros. In the midst of all the horror and corruption and killing, there is a prayer for the heart going to the divine to "teach us all a kinder way."

[@iz723]

*heart-wrenching

[@Karliene]

Aww, that's so sweet. I'm glad it brings you comfort. xx

[@ameliarosenberg9599]

[@andreasballe7470]

@@St3v3z Yeah, Jon, Robb and Theon have arguably had it worst, Catelyn and maybe the Hound as honorable mentions.

[@Karliene]

Wow!! Well spotted! yeah they did in fact come from Braveheart after I hunted for what seemed like hours to find medieval battle noises on the internet. Braveheart is one of my fave films too, when I first bought it back on video ( ahh those were the days ) I locked myself in my bedroom and watched it every day for like a month. The music, the scenery, the passion and the romance of it gets my heart every time. :-)

[@tayzadayzah6681]

I can just picture Sansa standing atop the walls at King's Landing, the Battle of the Blackwater raging below, and then she starts singing this..... and slowly the battle dies down so all the men can hear the beautiful song

[@LiberatedGuardian]

+Taylor Riley Sophie can't sing though.

[@tayzadayzah6681]

The Haruno one Yeah didn't know that when I wrote this lol

[@LiberatedGuardian]

Taylor Riley I would love to see her singing, even if its bad.

[@sabrinaramirez4585]

OMG, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

[@bananagod3071]

it would make sense in the book version because Sansa was said to have beautiful voice 😁

[@ChildOfTheFlower]

Hearing this after Sunday just makes me forever grieve over poor Sansa. You voice just brought her character to life

[@MathiasPoupinais]

[@arckocsog253]

[@gabrielpujol3846]

Yeah. My favourite chapter of the 2nd book.

[@dolceCarolina1]

So Beautiful, i can feel Sansa's heart, she is my favorite female character.

[@kruginski04]

i'm not ashamed to say that i cried while listening to this, it's just beautiful

[@larsthomassen3533]

Thank you Karliene. Love your voice. I am a huge fan of ASOIAF and George R.R Martin. Sansa's song is very touching and also a little sad. absolutely amazing

[@ravenouscolonelhart]

The most messed up thing about Game of Thrones is how similar this brutal, Machiavellian, caste-based society, still is to reality in 2014. It's always been a huge scam for rival rich people to get the poor to fight each other. Sansa's character is forced to learn the truth even though it's always "boring or horrible."

[@kysfallen1795]

Absolutely stunning. Not just your voice, but the way the song is made. Simply beautiful and breath-taking. I wish you the best of luck in the future. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@irinaboeva2957]

it`s lovely and very beautiful I see Sansa in my mind

[@Karliene]

It's a beautiful monument and worth a visit if you ever get up to Scotland. It's also worth going to Fort William in the Highlands where they filmed a lot of the big outdoors shots, it really is as stunning as it is in the film, I was lucky to live there for a little while. Also, I thought you might be interested to hear they're filming a new tv series called "Wallace" which will focus on the early years of the Scottish Knight. Ridley Scott is behind the project so it could be good. :-)

[@TheWolfsabre]

Someone needs to make a music video of lord of the rings 2, the part where all the people are gearing up for Helms Deep while featuring this song. With the children putting on their helmets and the battle and omg it would just be perfect, that is as long as Karliene allows that. >> But seriously if someone made it it would be so freaking amazing

[@aknightofthenorth9463]

[@Brad45420]

you have a grat voice and a good ear. many people have great voices but being able to tell how to really make a song people want to hear is a rare talent. im sure youll be more famous than you already are some day. you should send your songs to the producers and people who do the score for game of thrones and do the promo video. this year they needed you badly

[@Pine_Hill_Prophit]

***** welcome to the real world... of ice and fire

[@Pine_Hill_Prophit]

lol ive read the books, and your last sentence does nothing but prove my point, ramsay still marries and rapes what he thinks is a stark , just because the show swapped the role with sansa doesn't mean it still doesn't work, you book purists really need to realise that the show and the novels are entirely different beasts, bitching about that fact is redundant as fuck at this point, it been like what 5 years since the show started and you still get as salty as Balon Greyjoy when they change something like its not to be expected or some shit

[@ibbi30]

+King Dormak the chromosome expelling forniphile Is that a fair assumption ? I mean, Harry is just some random young man we know next to nothing about. Plus, its hard to rape the willing. If I remember correctly Sansa was happy when Petyr told her about the marrige to Harry. People talk about wanting that rock, well she Sansa will not get the kingdom of the Rock, but she will get that Vale, that River and that North :) !

[@ibbi30]

King Dormak the chromosome expelling forniphile Oh ok have just read one sample chapter.

[@ibbi30]

King Dormak the chromosome expelling forniphile Just read that chapter. He isn't overly douche-y, he is at least no Joffrey or Ramsey. I think she will just wrap him around her fingers :). Man I love Sansa, great chapter :) !

the thing is, when i hear this song, i dont only think of the battle of Blackwater but also to all my friends who are in Syria right now who just desperatly want the fighting to end, not knowing whether their families are alive or not. I think this song is really universal, and it touches me in a way that very few singers can achieve. :') good job and dont ever stop singing!
