Tonight’s episode of Game Of Thrones ended with one hell of a shocker, leaving all of us with our jaws on the floor. The shocking ended was followed abruptly — if not hilariously awkwardly — by The Hold Steady’s new song “The Bear & the Maiden Fair.”
If you recall, The Hold Steady were asked by the show to record the song which was written by R.R. Martin, the author of the books which the show is based on, as well as the shows composer, Ramin Djawadi.
The Hold Steady hone in and make it their own, giving the song a boozy bar sound that would be perfect for a scene where noblemen are chugging heavy beers in a great hall.
