The Rains Of Castamere Lyrics:
And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

[@ClementYang24]

Charles Dance looks majestic as fuck on a horse.

[@T0mN7]

Clement Yang Charles Dance looks majestic as fuck. Period! :P

[@Darkpara1]

+Clement Yang Tywin the boss was always majestic.

[@inspecthergadget4503]

That and and moment he enters King's Landing after defeating Stannis. Truly the most powerful man of Westeros

[@adventure_skaut]

Now you remember the time he wore a dress

[@marcelwestphal5887]

Tywin is majesty

[@Mcf4742]

This song basically sums up GoT itself, D&D blabbed on and on, and now there’s no one left to hear, no one rewatching anymore

[@Sean12248]

I rewatch it.......but I never watch Season 8. I've only seen a few clips and never want to see the rest.

[@Lightbringer11.11]

I rewatch GOT almost every month… Except season 8… I feel anxious when i watch s8

[@PaulThePuppetier]

It's so ironic. This song about the annihilation of a family actually makes me feel hopeful, like few things make me feel. It makes me feel like there's some beauty and sweetness in this world.

[@TrekPraxis]

PaulThePuppeteer I think because lore-wise it's about a young Tywin, in a time when House Lannister was a joke, redeeming his house's name in a glorious victory.

[@PaulThePuppetier]

KingofCheddarCheese The lyrics regarding that story help indeed, but it's something else that makes me feel hopeful

[@bojo485]

PaulThePuppeteer because youre weird

[@nicogenovese7108]

It's probably because of the way that it's performed

[@Seer_Of_The_Woodlands]

it's like a glimpse into something that didn't happen, an alternate time. where things went differently. but it's not something that could have happened. it speaks of a great person, a person who met his end before his time. Imagine if Alexander the Great had never conquered Persia, but Persia had conquered his country and destroyed his family.

[@TwilightLink293]

Finally I found the version that was used in the M&B mod!

[@phineasgage8252]

TwilightLink293 That mod is amazing, one of the best MODs i've ever played

[@ClassWarMatrix]

TwilightLink293 I took it straight from the game files back then lol but I lost it This version brings back so much memories of when I first got into Game of Thrones :D

[@uuuu4222]

Which M&B Mod was it?

[@phineasgage8252]

uu uu a clash of kings

[@LordLambertius]

Ik i'm quite late, but i never heard this in the ACOK mod?

[@j1k2j3s4]

Love this version! This is the most haunting and lyrical rendition yet.

[@marcelwestphal5887]

Indeed, just fits to the lannisters

[@armsdragon05]

We all know that Hodor will rule the seven kingdoms soon enough...He is simply biding his time and counting his Hodors.

[@agentwisconsin4581]

:(

[@LordLambertius]

HOLD THE DOOR

[@Zathas]

Lambert The Prick May he Rest In Peace

[@bigsmiley7662]

armsdragon05 oof

[@leilaelghazi6749]

If only you knew 😭😭😭

[@windyv.radyata21]

Best version ever

[@MrArmystrong85]

What is Edd may never die!!!

[@Burningsteel]

MrArmystrong85 High as Hodor!!!

[@naomiwashinton8102]

MrArmystrong85 Season six is coming!

[@xerospacious4024]

Naomi Washinton i hope george found the cure for death cause winter is coming and he's old xD

[@eehyetti]

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know. In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws, And mine are long and sharp, my Lord, as long and sharp as yours. And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.

[@griffinbain8083]

Congrats on learning how to copy and paste lolol :)

[@christianfarren1179]

Just as beautiful as when I first found this video. A fitting tribute to Tywin Lannister, the Lion of Casterly Rock and the only villain in GOT I admired. A perfect mixture of regal poise and ruthless brutality.

[@Godzilla00X]

Honestly best version I've ever heard

[@susannewestphal3119]

Me too, it's amazing 😀

[@Tsuzama]

This gives me chills. This was a fantastic choral cover

[@sayo2990]

Oh man I heard this once like four years ago and I've been looking for it since! This version is so haunting, nothing else could compare

[@daddyleon]

This might be the best version I've heard yet!

[@1415Razor]

As we see, love can easily cloud ones judgement. I guess you're right, if I play this song at my wedding it WILL be my funeral. Sadly, we cannot tell Robb.

[@christianfortner]

I am so excited, my choir is singing this!

[@wulfheart5475]

Christian Fortner How did you do the arrangement?

[@christianfortner]

It's been awhile now since we sang it but I'm pretty sure it was 8 part

[@lionsmaine1238]

I'm actually working on an arrangement of this if you need sheet music. It's kinda shoddy at the moment tho ngl

[@StefaniaGutierrez10]

Shining Armor Hi! Would you share your choral arrangement, it would be great.... My choir could sing it, and your name could get famous and be heard a lot here in my country. Sorry my english...!

[@lionsmaine1238]

I might have lost the file but I'll see if I can find a copy of it.

[@bansidh]

The night is dark and full of tenors.

[@johnf100]

watching the video gave me chills! is beatiful!

[@_philipp__]

This song delayed me playing the A Clash of King mod for Mount & Blade Warband on the inital screen. Pure beauty this version.

[@christinareid9656]

oh dear lord this is everything I hoped for and more when I searched for a choral version of this...... so so beautiful, thank you!!

[@zaptone]

This version is amazing. Moved me to tears.

[@AJCrowley0153]

By far the best version

[@holywells]

Try the new version from Jackie Evancho. It is soulful and mournful and is delivered with her perfect vocals. It is on KZbin now and is a new release uploaded by "The Best Videos".

[@eibolsoe]

holywells ... Meh.

[@Rensune]

holywells I feel the same: She's Singing out of her range, and even More importantly, this is meant to be a Battle song, meaning a Minimum of four people singing.

[@SuperKratosgamer]

In my opinion, this is better than the original.

[@ifyourebored7952]

Dito

[@eAchille]

Le moment où les soldats de Stannis s'agenouillent devant les idoles enflammées va très très bien avec le moment où la scène apparait dans le clip.

[@akanehito]

Your version almost makes me cry... It's really amazing. Different. Wonderful, surely. Thank you for that incredible moment.

[@pipinssr112]

The best rendition of Rains of Castamere I have heard.

[@MissCartoonist]

That was beautiful! I liked how the show's main theme was incorporated into the middle.

[@lostfromview]

Beautiful chorus and melody. :) I love it!

[@Dukesoulrender]

My god,, I come to hear this song again..and again you throw a new verse in play..magnificent ;)

[@FreakingWillow]

Goosebumps, goosebumps, everywhere.

[@gregorpiffer3929]

When i heard this for the first time i've cried

[@esdeviopiepie7432]

Love love love it!

[@MrKrumpetz]

Beautiful.

[@Telanhzan]

Incredible, thanks for this!

[@seancroninmusic]

Incredible!

[@ManticorePinion]

Every time I watch Sjin's Mount and Blade videos, I have to come listen to this.

[@LucidDream]

Love the combination of your vocals with Hawthorn.

[@Doroboneko]

This needs more views. Fantastically done.

[@MuslimahMelika]

This is incredible! Heard it on tumblr and listened to like 10 KZbin covers trying to find it.

[@Cycon91]

Amazing!

[@MarcosSilva-jc2ph]

The best version!

[@jacek2571]

Best version!

[@hornsofhattin]

I do so love seeing folks with the character names/avatars going around. I am rarely disappointed at what they have to say.

[@MrBritishBiscuit]

Finding this video again takes me back to a simpler age,a better time in my life,when day to day existence wasn't a chore. To be young and care free again,back in a age when all my friends and family were excited for GOT,looking up all the fan theories,guessing who would win the iron throne,and what truely lay on the other side of the wall.News seasons on the horizon,New consoles,my first gaming PC,friends coming over whenever they wanted. My Mum still being with me. What a nostalgic bomb this was. Take me back.

[@MrTinbuzzard]

My thanks to you.

[@DravicPL]

Thank you for the free bandcamp download

[@1415Razor]

A sword needs a sheath, a wedding needs a bedding.^^

[@Draedaja]

Oh me gods, this is beautiful.

[@flaviuscatalin198]

I loveit unlike any other versions

[@scatta6543]

And so he spoke.. and so he spoke.. That Lord of Winterfell, and now the snow covers his halls. with no one there to see.

[@Adrian-mj6hy]

Omfg, amazing!!

[@AzazelGamer360]

and so he spoke, and so he spoke... maan what a earworm >,

[@hunties11]

the video, the song, wow !

[@BlushGush]

My favorite version

[@Tejconnect]

Well played!

[@Oiak1086]

Beautiful song... Such a dark and brutal story behind that beauty

[@MateusVIII]

so tempting.. must..resist.. impulses!

[@nicoamicone]

Wish I could have this arrangement to play this song with my choral group! We love this song

[@LucidDream]

This is my favorite version out of anyone that's ever tried. And that's saying a lot, because so many people have covered it. They don't even come close to this, imo. To me the version that should have been in the show. You do a very good job at making the song sound like it's from a certain time period or something. Hard to describe. Wonderful blend of melody and your voices accompany each other so well. I like too that it's more choir like, in that most of the melodies are done by voice. Only with a minimal amount of instruments in the percussion, what sounds like mostly just a timpani. Love it!

[@lewisfitzjohn]

Thank you friend :-)

[@yogeshsonawane3490]

Awesome

[@AnE000002]

I started the series about 3 weeks ago thanks to my friend up at school who was obsessed with it. Wanted to get finals out of the way first. I caught up last week and bought the books yesterday. Devoured 200 pages. Watched tonight's episode. Contemplated burning the books. I don't think I can take another emotional blow like that. And anybody who's read them already please don't reply with something like "Just wait..." or some shit. Please. I'm not reading the comments, just leaving my thoughts.

[@TheLyricsGuy]

I wish they would hold the notes longer.

[@phoenixflames1987]

i love this..........................

[@Kinross07]

Makes me hope you manage a full length acapella GoT theme piece. Another masterpiece, congrats.

[@draperdi]

wooo it's so great!! i want a sheet music of this

[@oppenheimer6321]

Best version

[@mariajackson8374]

Fantastic!

[@YorkGod1]

Great! I cried cos we have to wait a year before it comes back!!!!

[@void1634]

I really love house Reyne i honestly think that they're one of the most interesting and tragic houses in Game of Thrones. I would really love for the show to expand on house Reyne a bit. Although i suppose one of the spin offs might explain them if its a prequel series hopefully we will actually get to see the fall of house Reyne.

[@renangabriel751]

best version

[@_mohammad__saquib]

Best version this song can't be better than this 😫😫🤯🤯

[@AlejandroM9623]

Beautfil, congrats

[@MrTinbuzzard]

ahhh, I missed this.

[@LucidDream]

Good stuff.

[@LightandFire676]

Then Ramin Djawadi is a GENIUS.

[@SuperHipsterGamer]

Brilliant transition from Rains of Castamere into the theme song of GOT

[@Arboritus]

Nice !

[@daenerystargaryen6476]

I'm attacking the replay button with all of my Unsullied

[@hornsofhattin]

Any man that must say "I am the king" is no true king at all.

[@lostfromview]

I agree. :) He managed to make the song come to life and make it both a haunting warning, and a victory march, depending on it's use.

[@conn4m4n]

really inspiring arrangement

[@cymbeline4]

This is such a beautiful arrangement! Is there any way I could get the sheet music? I would love to do this with my choir!

[@bory-chanvixenmare9478]

Wow beautyful :)

[@SSVCloud]

THE KING IN THE NORTH. NOW AND FOREVER!

[@1415Razor]

I want this to be played at my funeral, honestly.

[@damm41]

Why not your wedding.

[@cagnazzo82]

Winter cannot come soon enough! The North will never forget!

[@Miraak87]

Everytime i watch this video the memories of everything that happened (good and bad) come to my mind and my heart burns with the hope of Daenerys becoming the queen and the woman I ever wanted her to be.

[@zv6515]

Daenerys is a foolish girl who wants to flood Westeros with slaves, Dothraki, and other foul abominations from Essos. Stannis is the only choice to make Westeros great.

[@Miraak87]

I saw what you did there, kek. Anyway, stannis is dead, Snow can't be a king and cersei is dumb as fuck. Therefore, vote daenerys or die.

[@conordunne261]

Snow can't be king? Yes he can

[@Miraak87]

Snow can legally be king if and only if Raegar Targaryen ever married Lyanna Stark. Otherwise he would be an usurper. If such thing didn't happen, Jon Snow can't be king. And I doubt Jon Snow would want the Iron Throne knowing the kind of person he is. And even if he wanted it, he just doesn't have enough men to face a 2 front war against 2 different enemies both infinitely superior in weapons and numbers. We already know how bad that can go, don't we?

[@0307scott]

Conor Dunne Jon's like Robb in that neither craved the throne and they're both too much like Ned to want the Iron Throne. All Robb wanted to do was secure the North's Independence and freedom from the Iron Throne, as Catelyn told Renly, "I swear it my son has no interest in the Iron Throne". Jon is like Robb in so many ways that I doubt he'll want the Iron Throne. To be honest I'd much rather prefer if Jon stays the hell away from the Iron Throne. All that throne brought to Westeros was trouble in the hands of inept Targaryen Kings like the Mad King Aerys II and several of his predecessors.

[@TrekPraxis]

It isn't in the 1.0 version of the mod and i am livid because of it

[@lostfromview]

George R.R. Martin himself. :) The melody itself was composed by Ramin Djawadi.

[@Ingachan11]

Thanks dude :D

[@DBZToyCollector]

Beautiful song...had no idea the theme song was actually The Rains of Castamere song.

[@stein-ottosvorstl6930]

Is it possible to buy the sheet music for this one?

[@1415Razor]

Yes, I agree. The things beyond the wall seem to be the most interesting. Everyone underestimates them, right from the beginning. The game of thrones becomes even more complex, especially with all the politics involved (which I find very interesting). And, more important, with that high amount of players involved.

[@burakcanduzcan]

I thought this always was on Hawthorn's page but it is only on her bandcamp page now

[@Jok3r551]

good version & I like so Wonderful

[@raphaelkhan2883]

Clash of Kings:Best mod ever!

[@TheInstantClassic1]

Now available for your wedding requests :D!!!

[@TrueGoddessOfMadness]

Very beautiful. And, like quite a few others here, I'd like to ask if it were possible to maybe buy the sheet music for my school choir?

[@Mrgrayraiden20]

I love how simple this theme is. The Lannisters should keep looking behind their back...The North shall never forget.

[@1415Razor]

The power of love...
