Florence and the Machine debuted her new song on the new episode of Game of Thrones. Don’t worry, we will avoid any major spoilers.
The song “Jenny of Oldstones” plays across the final moments of the episode after one of the characters sung “Jenny’s Song” by the fire, which appears in the books. Game of Thrones fans may want to take a close look at the lyrics of the song as they may give some insight into how the next episode will go.
Florence is, in fact, the only artist to have been approached to contribute to the epic final season. This is not the first time her music has been featured in the show. It was used all the way back in season 2 for the trailer.
Show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss explained their decision: “We’ve always been huge fans of Florence’s music, and the Season 2 trailer with her song ‘Seven Devils’ was possibly the most powerful we’ve ever had.
“So the opportunity to hear her otherworldly voice on our show was always at the forefront of our minds. We’re still pleasantly shocked that she agreed to sing ‘Jenny of Oldstones,’ and we’re in love with the result.”
Florence Welch added: “Celtic music has always been in my blood, so I felt like I could do something with it. The magic and ritual in ‘Game of Thrones,’ not to mention the costumes, have always appealed to me. I am honored to be a part of the final season.”
