As promised, here's the prelude to the Battle of Rook's Rest, the song of Ice & Fire! I decided to add the rest of the battle soundtrack (A War of Dragons) to the end of this one, so you have a 11-minute piece of roughly the whole battle! Hope you enjoy it!
@JeremyBraunsMusic so I first heard this masterpiece after the 4th episode aired. I told myself that I wouldn't rewatch any episode of season 2 until I finished the entire 8 episodes. I listened to your version for the 4 weeks leading up to the end of Season 2 which is also when the House of The Dragon soundtrack released. I was under the impression for these 4 weeks that you had ripped the audio from the episode and altered it so no background sounds or dialogue would be apparent. I was also under the impression that this is exactly what I heard when watching the actual battle of Rooks Rest. (I hope you're still with me after thar long-winded explanation). Now imagine my shock when I get to listen to the official version from the man Ramin Djawadi himself and realise that it's not what I've been listening to for the 4 weeks eagerly awaiting for the official version. Ramins version sucks...... Your version is superior from start to finish. I can't believe somebody out did him at his own game Really great track my dude. Probably the best I've heard in this genre which I've come to love since starting Game of Thrones. ps. I listen to Ramin tracks everyday so please take this as a HUGE compliment.
@joncruiser1 Hi! I did read through your whole message and thank you for the kind words! However I'd like to propose an alternative way of looking at this. Doesn't my version sound better to you because you've been listening to it a lot and gotten "used to it" ? Both are quite different in terms of sound though for sure, but I absolutely can't take credit for having a better version haha, he came up with it!
For me it was Vhagar's wings and the look meleys and rhenys shared! Aemond is a better rider and one of the strongest because of his touch in valyrian and understanding the dragon, i laughed hard at aegon and when he said forward in english lol.
@@salimgohan9670he isn’t the best but he shares one of the strongest bond with is dragon the same for Rhaenys and Meleys they’ve been together for more than 30 years wich is a lot for a dragonrider 🥰🔥
6:14 so fitting for the monstrous Vhagar! 180 years old, hardened survivor of over a 100 battles, one of the three dragons unleashed in the Conquest and the last living creature to have seen it firsthand
Frankly, there's one thing you can't fault about either Game of Thrones or House of The Dragon, and that's the musical atmosphere. I loved the atmosphere of Game of Thrones, and season 1 of House of The Dragon made me cry like crazy. And now, season 2... What can I say? MasterClass.
I think perhaps with the exception of the score from Winds of Winter episode, this is Dwaljdi’s best work. You can feel such tense emotion with every turn. The way the stakes are built up. It’s so emotionally constructed. You are feeling the intensity of what is at stake. You can almost feel what the characters are feeling on every note. Well done 👏
His house themes are epic, but this whole battle score for me is one of his best work. Every moment of battle had a music theme... i can not wait for the release of the soundtrack 🔥.
When she says "He called it - The Song of Ice and Fire." I got goosebumps. And when I realized it, I had tears in my eyes. Game of thrones isn't watched, it's felt. And in this episode my friends We feel what it's like to watch Game of Thrones for real. THIS IS GAME OF THRONES.
I was waiting for you doing this part... This "Song of Ice and Fire" part at 3:33 during this episode gave me chills... when the first real battle in the Dragon Dance on screen began. Such a good serie, such a good episode, such a good soundtrack! The best 8 Mondays for me right now hahaha. Thank you very much for doing this soundtracks in such high quality before the series soundtrack release, it is strengthen my joy to wait till next episodes ^^ (Always a fine addition to my soundtrack collection playlist)
I cannot get this music out my head since I watched the episode it’s easily got to be my favourite. it’s got such an unsettling and uneasy feel to it that only builds it really tells a full story 7:30 is just incredible
Amazing, we feel the emotions , the heavy consequence about the secret of the song of ice and fire and what’s we all know gonna happen … Sadly this family war destroyed the Targaryen hope and their power , without that I think Daenerys wouldn’t be the last Targaryen and we will have a better G.O.T endings anyway … We willl forever remember Rhaenys and Melys ❤️
I think this is one of the best soundtrack Ramin Djawadi has composed. It reminds me of Hans Zimmer a lot actually, especially Pirates of the Caribbean (first 2 minutes) and Gladiator (What I assume was Rhaenys theme) in some aspects
Skipping straight to “Criston Cole Faceplant” because screw that guy. Your work is incredible! You captured all the emotions of this incredible sequence. Brilliant recreation. I’ve really been enjoying your stuff since the new season started.
For people asking why did Rhaenys turn Around? Because she was winning. She fucked up Sunfyre and Aemond did the rest. Then Meleys used seismic toss on Vhagar which was super effective. She was winning. Until she wasn't.
Somehow they made the most of this prophecy in the series. Especially considering that in the Game of Thrones, the King of the Night was killed by Arya, and Bran began to rule Westeros. And in the House of the Dragon, the prophecy was made the main reason why Rhaenyra supposedly should rule. Even the fact that she told Jace, who will not be king, about this looks strange. Well, at least the soundtrack is epic.
@@stefanciocan1605 Martin himself said that he told the writers how everything should end. The only problem was that they themselves had to write the path to the finale. But after the failure of season 8, Martin quickly calmed down, and half a year later he announced that, in fact, there would be a different ending in the books. The irony is that he is not going to write it))
I have rewatched this episode way too many times ,just to hear this score 😅 only for common sense to dawn and I searched it and found. This score is beyond.....don't know why but it has that GOT vibe like shiiiii is about to get serious.
This music is amazing👏🏻👐🏻 It makes you feel. Like in the show The prince that was promise music then when Rhaneyra was telling Jacaerys about it in backgroud showing Rhaenys and Aegon with their dragons then after it the arrows came that music then when Meleys and Rhaenys went to attack Vhagar and Aemond. Goosebumbs.
Ramin is such a blessing to this shows, he has created an unique and rich musical world for them, every piece, released and unreleased is amazing. Thank you for doing this, there's still a few weeks to go before we get this season's soundtrack. Listening to this makes me wonder, why did Aegon The Conqueror decided to keep his dream a secret, it seems like that chosing to hide such an important thing is what caused all this mess, did he told his sisters? I'm thinking maybe Rhaenys believed him but Visenia didn't, perhaps he didn't tell them, or it was the dream itself, it's nature, that prompted him to reveal it just to his heir to pass on the next heir on and on. But it's sad, The other Targaryens not knowing about the real threat coming is what makes them fight each other.
Listening to this whilst playing War Thunder realistic battles and hunting for other planes is just next level. You feel like an apex predator and it fits so well. This could genuinly be q soundtrack to WW2 aviator movie
The Vaghar Takes Flight part (6:14) is so epic and so simple. It translates very well the surprise and the fear of everyone staring at it... and at the same time, it's very majestic for Vaghar. Goosegumps
Amazing work! Can you maybe do the soundtrack of HOTD Season 2 weeks ahead trailer? It sounds good, but unfortunately I can't find the actual track somewhere aside from the trailer itself:(
I love the tv show but it says alot when im even more hyped for the soundtracks more than anything else. The hotd and GoT music absolutely has never let us down.
Even though Rhaenyra's monolog was just annoying (this whole prince that was promised and I am too benevolent to go to war for my right of inheritance) this sequence was the closest this series came to cinematic perfection: Meleys & Rhaenys, Sunfyre & Aegon bonding moments, the battle plan, the scale, the visuals, the dragons fighting and the cherry on top, the casualties
As promised, here's the prelude to the Battle of Rook's Rest, the song of Ice & Fire! I decided to add the rest of the battle soundtrack (A War of Dragons) to the end of this one, so you have a 11-minute piece of roughly the whole battle! Hope you enjoy it!

Now imagine my shock when I get to listen to the official version from the man Ramin Djawadi himself and realise that it's not what I've been listening to for the 4 weeks eagerly awaiting for the official version. Ramins version sucks......
Your version is superior from start to finish. I can't believe somebody out did him at his own game
Really great track my dude. Probably the best I've heard in this genre which I've come to love since starting Game of Thrones. ps. I listen to Ramin tracks everyday so please take this as a HUGE compliment.

Both are quite different in terms of sound though for sure, but I absolutely can't take credit for having a better version haha, he came up with it!
The part of aegon sunfyre arriving and rhenyra telling song of ice and fire felt the most epic sound to me.
“The prince who was promised” oooh goosebumps
Same, also when Rhaenys approached Meleys....epic indeed
Same to me ❤
3:34 that repeated melody is one of my favourite parts of any GoT theme. It's so emotional
I rewatch the battle scene like once every 3 days just for the soundtrack lmao
I know they have nothing in common but it has the vibes of zuko and azula's agni kai and i love it
When Rhaenys and Meleys return to fight Vhagar... Some of the most epic music EVER in Game of Thrones history period!
I literally screamed to my device: "GO! GO! GO NOW, LEAVE!!!"
I shiver every time, such a good piece
🙄
Man that entire episode was a banger of music.
Because you’re about to see the first true dragon battle of the entire series, and it fucking delivered
Years from now we will be saying “You had to be there”
literal chills when Aegon screams "Forward sunfyre"
@@tiagoalex9573 you don't need to learn high Valyrian if your dragon understands English hahahahha
For me it was Vhagar's wings and the look meleys and rhenys shared!
Aemond is a better rider and one of the strongest because of his touch in valyrian and understanding the dragon, i laughed hard at aegon and when he said forward in english lol.
@@samanyupalthiaegon is the best rider tho, in both the show and the Books, the dragonkeepers said so.
@@salimgohan9670he isn’t the best but he shares one of the strongest bond with is dragon the same for Rhaenys and Meleys they’ve been together for more than 30 years wich is a lot for a dragonrider 🥰🔥
A Dance of Dragons (Episode 4) felt exactly like old GoT to me, like the time i watched attack on the wall episode....
Totally agree, so happy to have a great prequel show!
its so great to have villains with more than 2 working brain cells
Yes, we are back. Still sad for the last 2 sessions of got. But enjoying the prequel.
Episode 2 and 3 gave me GOT vibes too, Daemon's visions remind me of Three Eyed Raven's Bran Stark scenes
Episode 4 is called The red dragon and the gold. Not a dance of dragons
Aegon's dream + The Song of Ice & Fire sections are beautiful
7:30 when meleys and rhaenys turned back around and she straps her self in😢 best part
💯
10:26 The somber music to sinister as they show Aemond was awesome
It is honestly my favorite part of the music
It could also be foreshadowing about what Aemond's gonna do as time goes on.
Ramin was cooking in this episode 😮
I don't know what they're paying him, but they need to give him more.
💯
This wasn't Ramin. The composer is Tom Dabrowski
@RJ-ld4vy No, it's Ramin Djawadi (and/or assistants / co-composer)
6:14 so fitting for the monstrous Vhagar! 180 years old, hardened survivor of over a 100 battles, one of the three dragons unleashed in the Conquest and the last living creature to have seen it firsthand
The amount of times I’ve listened to this soundtrack on repeat
Same here
3:35 this song from start to finish literally sends chills, from House Staunton defending to Rhaenys & Meleys coming as backup
Favorite piece to come out of HOTD so far. Truly amazing.
My favorite part of the entire segment. Been stuck in my head the full day now.
Hell yeah man. No matter what happens in the series, for better or worse, we always have the soundtrack.
Frankly, there's one thing you can't fault about either Game of Thrones or House of The Dragon, and that's the musical atmosphere. I loved the atmosphere of Game of Thrones, and season 1 of House of The Dragon made me cry like crazy. And now, season 2... What can I say? MasterClass.
Neither of these shows would be half as successful as they are without Djawadi
I think perhaps with the exception of the score from Winds of Winter episode, this is Dwaljdi’s best work. You can feel such tense emotion with every turn. The way the stakes are built up. It’s so emotionally constructed. You are feeling the intensity of what is at stake. You can almost feel what the characters are feeling on every note. Well done 👏
His house themes are epic, but this whole battle score for me is one of his best work. Every moment of battle had a music theme... i can not wait for the release of the soundtrack 🔥.
I’ve rewarched the episode so many times just for the music build up and emotional beats
The prince that was promised is unmatched.
1:05 god the stirring emotion in those chords , the prelude to battle. Really wish this segment was longer !
Fr, it’s the best part.
I think we're at the pinnacle of the OST, it's just incredible.
The Dance has just started..... it's gonna be emotional the whole way down.
@@Ereshkigal616 Indeed ! I’m so excited for what’s next. I was afraid I'd lost my hype or set the bar too high since GoT, but I'm glad I was wrong
When she says "He called it - The Song of Ice and Fire." I got goosebumps. And when I realized it, I had tears in my eyes. Game of thrones isn't watched, it's felt. And in this episode my friends We feel what it's like to watch Game of Thrones for real. THIS IS GAME OF THRONES.
You’re right. I definitely felt each minute when daemon was in harrenhal!
0:40 "Aegon ruminanting"
1:04 "Aegon leaves Kings Landing"
3:30 "The Song of Ice and Fire"
4:43 "Wait, Vhagar"
My favorites
Ramin and his team are one the MVP of this season.
Ramin never disapoints
Entire battle has the ticking clock music like the Theme from the movie dunkirk from hanz zimmer!
It fells like it is getting intense progressively.
Good god, when 3:30 hits I get chills
Angōs, Meleys! 🫡
🔥🔥🔥
I was waiting for you doing this part... This "Song of Ice and Fire" part at 3:33 during this episode gave me chills... when the first real battle in the Dragon Dance on screen began.

So good!!! Thank you for labelling each scene too
🙏🙏
Aegon ruminating part is sending chills
Peak of this Season so far, everything leading up to last moment was great and well done. Battle itself looked pretty good and costumes also.
This is the best piece of the whole HOTD series by far❤
Best episode of the show so far
I cannot get this music out my head since I watched the episode it’s easily got to be my favourite. it’s got such an unsettling and uneasy feel to it that only builds it really tells a full story 7:30 is just incredible
This was the highlight for Season 2 for me. Loved the whole battle sequence. Thank you Jeremy for your amazing covers, this one is just fantastic! 🐉🔥🔥
& Thank you for your support 🙏
Criston Cole Faceplant 💀
Hehe
I kept rewatching that scene for the music. Especially after Rhaenyra says "the song of ice and fire".
Amazing, we feel the emotions , the heavy consequence about the secret of the song of ice and fire and what’s we all know gonna happen … Sadly this family war destroyed the Targaryen hope and their power , without that I think Daenerys wouldn’t be the last Targaryen and we will have a better G.O.T endings anyway … We willl forever remember Rhaenys and Melys ❤️
Dude dance was written years after first 3 books
@@TrajGreekFire Its doesn’t change that the fact that we know what gonna happen in the future with the ice wall , the music make us feel that
This needs to be the main song for every dragon battle
I will listen to this the next time I read fire and blood ❤
I think this is one of the best soundtrack Ramin Djawadi has composed. It reminds me of Hans Zimmer a lot actually, especially Pirates of the Caribbean (first 2 minutes) and Gladiator (What I assume was Rhaenys theme) in some aspects
Also Hans composition when Batman returns in the dark knight rises and that betrayal music when all the gotham police is after him
The Fall part is so good....
This track is a masterpiece. All hail the true king Ramin of the House Djawadi!!!
Skipping straight to “Criston Cole Faceplant” because screw that guy.
Your work is incredible! You captured all the emotions of this incredible sequence. Brilliant recreation. I’ve really been enjoying your stuff since the new season started.
Thank you so much! And yeah, felt too good seeing Cole hit the ground I had to include it haha
@@JeremyBraunsMusic you did this so well, it’s perfect! I like this and the other one you did.
And too bad Criston’s face didn’t stay planted! 😒
For people asking why did Rhaenys turn Around? Because she was winning. She fucked up Sunfyre and Aemond did the rest. Then Meleys used seismic toss on Vhagar which was super effective.
She was winning.
Until she wasn't.
Because the book said so.
FORWARD, SUNFYRE!
Wow what an epic music especially when vhagar takes flight and the next one
The song at the beginning of the battle is a masterpiece
My mom understands very little of the show BUT she's always asking "is that one stupid cole death already?" Every Sunday 😂
Haha I think we're all a little bit like your mom on that one!
Perhaps ramins finest work
you are already in my prays man, thanks and keep going, we just at half season now
This song was HORRIFYING.

this is based on books, GoT ending is not considered canon right now. Since Martin did not finish the books we do not know how it will end.

A toast! For the Queen that Never Was!
From 0:47 to 2:00 is my favourite❤❤
7:30 a true Targaryen through and through.
My beloved queens.... powerful!!!! What a battle!!!

3:34-7:30
OMG thank you for the full version!!!!
0:40-1:04 gave me Naruto soundtrack vibes. This is so good
The Vaghar Takes Flight part (6:14) is so epic and so simple. It translates very well the surprise and the fear of everyone staring at it... and at the same time, it's very majestic for Vaghar. Goosegumps
Thanks alot , i was exploring whole world for this track specially when horns called for Aemond and signal arrows
Who keeps coming back here cause this isn’t on Spotify yet
Another version is on spotify
me encanto este episodio, habia empezado la temporada un poco lenta pero con este episodio se pusieron las pilas, me encanto 10/10
I like jaces side profile in this still image looks like a wolf like the stark house sygil
Amazing work
Thank you!
amazing!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you , your soundtrack is professional, fast in releasing, arranged well, keep going 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Seven blessings to you!
THANK YOU!!!!!! ❤️❤️
9:55 Is there an extended version of "The Fall" ? Such a great piece!
This soundtrack has hints of Loki's soundtrack too. perhaps the same beats or something, it does reminds me of Loki S2. Love it too
Every thing was perfect in this episode 🔥
9:54 that scene just so sad yet it’s so majestic.
the score this season has been 💪🤌
3:34 love it
Prince that was promised and this are best parts of the entire soundtrack from both shows holy fuck
This is bomb, you earned yourself a new sub
Why can't I find the song of ice and fire on Spotifyyyy😭😭😭, can someone help me find it? It is the one that appears at minute 3:30
My version isn't, and we'll have to wait for the official one!
Amazing work! Can you maybe do the soundtrack of HOTD Season 2 weeks ahead trailer? It sounds good, but unfortunately I can't find the actual track somewhere aside from the trailer itself:(
same i literally can’t find the soundtrack anywhere, i just wanna listen to the song of ice and fire 😭
new favorite 🔥3:31 is my fav
@JeremyBraunsMusic just realized this is a cover, bro how? its fucking incredible!! bravo!!! 💛💛
Thank you!! I'd say lots of work and just a touch of unhealthy perfectionism hahah
Angōs Meleys
"ATTACK MELEYS"
Angos
Angos Meleys! 😊. Liebe Raenys Tagaryen einfach. Schön valyrisch von ihr zu hören 😊
Это великолепно! Это великолепно! Это ВЕ-ЛИ-КО-ЛЕП-НО! ДА, ДА, ДА!
Love the music this season!
I love the tv show but it says alot when im even more hyped for the soundtracks more than anything else. The hotd and GoT music absolutely has never let us down.
Ramin has done it again!
Ramin is a genius
I'm sorry but i drive to this song whenever i have a minor inconvenience
Angõs Meleys!
Aegon decides to leave king's landing should be a whole song itself
we need more of it
We are SO back
I love your work. I would love your adaptation of stanis baratheon theme
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 🫶🏼
Congrats bro🎉
Rhaenys left us too soon :( i wish she was still alive to put the dragonseeds in check specially ulf that oaf
1:04 till 1:17 god damn...
When does the whole soundtrack come out?
My guess is on the Friday after the last episode airs
Even though Rhaenyra's monolog was just annoying (this whole prince that was promised and I am too benevolent to go to war for my right of inheritance) this sequence was the closest this series came to cinematic perfection: Meleys & Rhaenys, Sunfyre & Aegon bonding moments, the battle plan, the scale, the visuals, the dragons fighting and the cherry on top, the casualties
