#FINALE MUSIC MOVIE#

The specific track I'm talking about, titled 'The Last of the Starks,' plays over the finale's final montage of Jon Snow, Arya, and Sansa Stark taking, symbolically, their rightful places in the new, post-Targaryen Westeros: Sansa is the Queen in the North Jon has been exiled to the Wall where he'll lead his wildling followers to new lives in the snowy wasteland and Arya is leaving on her own ship, seeking whatever is ' west of Westeros.' It's the kind of ending that would have been incredible if the season leading up to it had been consistently good - as such, it was more of a relieved 'okay, at least they nailed that bit' amongst an otherwise muddled episode.īut, listen: They nailed it. The series wouldn't have been the same without his music: It got to the point where, whenever I heard the distinctive white noise of the HBO logo, my brain immediately expected to hear the opening notes of the Game of Thrones theme.

I listen to a lot of soundtrack music from properties of otherwise questionable merit - the Prince of Persia movie OST is not bad, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters included an extremely cool cover of Mothra's theme - but Ramin Djawadi's work for Game of Thrones was always a series highlight, no matter how disappointing the actual show became. There was a period where I was listening to it maybe once a day, when the whole album popped up on Spotify just after the show concluded its dramatic final run with a horrendous penultimate episode and an anticlimactic finale one whole year ago. I listen to the second-to-last track from the Game of Thrones Season 8 score almost once a week.
