Happy June everyone! It's been so gorgeous out here, which means recording takes between neighbours loudly mowing their lawns. Not very Medieval of them! It would be so much quieter if they all switched to scythes.

Now this is a little embarrassing, but I haven't actually caught up on season 2 House of the Dragon yet. My intention was to post this song and then watch after as some sort of reward, and my family has carefully spared me from any spoilers. If you're watching, how are you enjoying it?

One other little update: I recently did a quick radio interview on the Colin McEnroe show. It was a short piece and I didn't say much that you haven't heard before if you've listened to my other interviews, but there was a funny moment where he accidentally no-scoped the next cover I'm in the middle of recording right now. You can listen to the entire show, which was Shakespeare themed, here!

House of the Dragon - Rhaenyra Targaryen Theme - With Additional High Valyrian Lyrics

▶ Spotify (This song won't be up for a little bit, but you can find my other work here): https://open.spotify.com/artist/5BSPl6yCVGvrCyKUp2peGM?si=PmWd2VOSRiasV1Ir1-63rw ▶ Consider supporting the channel on Patreon: https://patreon.com/hildegardvonblingin Original song composed by: Ramin Djawadi Illustration by yours truly. Ever since watching House of the Dragon season 1, I often find this theme stuck in my brain. Technically it's called "The Power of Prophecy", but many simply refer to it as Rhaenyra's theme, despite the fact that she has a number of motifs. I wanted to make a fairy straight forward recreation of the song, but with a twist. You may notice some additional vocals in the middle and at the end, which I have done my best to write in High Valyrian. Some lines were plucked directly from the show, while others were written with some help from the High Valyrian sub Reddit. I'm sure I've made mistakes in some of the artistic liberties I took, but I enjoy the added flavour of singing in this beautiful conlang, which was created by David J. Peterson. By the by, this video is not sponsored in any way, but I'd gladly work with HBO Max if they reached out. ;) I hope you're all enjoying season 2! Lyrics: Ānogro syt ānogar (Blood for blood) Kasta zōbrie siñas (Green becomes black) Tresy dōrī kesan (I will never be a son) Ñuhor līr gūrēnna (I will take what is mine)
