You can listen to Florence + the Machine’s song from Game of Thrones now

During the credits tonight on Game of Thrones, you may have heard a familiar voice singing “Jenny of Oldstones.” Florence + the Machine sang the song that’s streaming now.

Warning! This story contains mild spoilers for season 2 episode 8 of Game of Thrones.

Almost like Saturday Night Live, Florence + the Machine may as well be credited as the musical guest on Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones. After a dramatic build-up, you might have been surprised to hear Florence Welch’s soothing vocals close out the show.

The song, much like the band, may have also sounded familiar. Named “Jenny of Oldstones” (or “Jenny’s Song”), the tune was sung by Podrick as he, Brienne of Tarth, Jaime and Tyrion Lannister, Ser Davos and Tormund all sit around the fire.

He recites the lyrics “High in the halls of the kings who are gone, Jenny would dance with her ghosts…” Compared to the book, we don’t hear much about this character, Jenny, aside from season 7, when someone compares Bran’s unbelievable stories to Jenny, who claimed she was a descendant of the Children of the Forest.

So how does this song relate to what’s to come in Game of Thrones? While Pod sings, we see visuals of Arya and Gendry, Sansa and Theon, and Grey Worm and Missandei. Each of these pairings enjoys the comforts of one another before the great Battle of Winterfell. In a way, the sweet song aided in a moment for us all to linger on the beautiful side of Game of Thrones before things go awry. This was a softer, gentler episode, but the Battle of Winterfell is coming quicker than winter. And happy moments will be far and few from here on out.

You can listen to Florence + the Machine’s comforting version of “Jenny of Oldstones” below. And you can find where the song is available to stream and download on Florence + the Machine’s website.
