First up, Swedish A Capella group Aora gives spin on the show’s opening credits:
Next up, pianist Jarrod Radnich performs the opening theme on…a beach. This one is older but we had to bring it up:
How did he get the piano up there? Whatever, worth it.
Goran Bojčevski sees Radnich’s beach and raise him a castle, Castle Celje in Slovenia to be exact. The musician performs Djwadi’s iconic theme on a Macedonian instrument called the kaval. So cool!
In other instruments I’ve never heard of, this guy busts out the Game of Thrones on a handpan. Love it!
Okay, now you guys are just showing off. Igor Presnyakov plays the theme song on a one-string guitar, which I didn’t even know was a thing:
It’s becoming clear just how far Game of Thrones has traveled. Below we have the Ukranian folk group B&B Project running through a medley from the show:
Anyone know where they’re filming? Almost looks like Riverrun.
And now, may we present: cellos cellos cellos!
This is a…deconstructed cello?
“The Rains of Castamere” is made for the deep tones of the cello, as this next cover proves:
Although it sounds pretty good on a tiny keyboard, too:
Here, the musical group — and we do mean group — PiscesRising does their version of “The Rains of Castamere,” with Sarah Berresford on vocals.
One more version of “Rains,” this time in the style of a ska band. You’re welcome:
And finally, a bird — yes, a freaking bird — sings Djawadi’s theme song.
We can all go home now. We’ve seen it all.
