who sang the rains of castamere on game of thrones
The Rains of Castamere (song) In the TV series, the song was first heard when Tyrion Lannister whistled a small part in the first episode of the second season.[2] An instrumental version can be heard during Tyrion's speech right after King Joffrey abandons the battlefield in the same episode. In season 2 episode 9, there is a scene Bronn is singing "The Rains of Castamere" among the Lannisters soldiers. When one of the soldiers ask him "Where'd you learn the Lannister song?" Bronn replies "Drunk Lannisters." The season 2 soundtrack contains a rendition of the song "The Rains of Castamere" by the indie rock band The National, sung by their vocalist Matt Berninger.[3] On the published track list, the title is spelled "The Rains of Castomere" rather than "Castamere" as in the novels. The spelling is corrected on the printed listing on the liner notes that come with the disc.[4] It was played over the end credits of the ninth episode, "Blackwater".
