8 Things Game Of Thrones Season 8 Actually Did Well
8. The Score
It's not exactly news to say that Game of Thrones has a spectacular score. Composer Ramin Djawadi did incredible work for the series from its first season, with pieces like The King's Arrival, The Light of the Seven, and, of course, the iconic opening theme. Each of his pieces adds beautiful music to the world of Westeros.
That said, Season 8 may be Djawadi's best. Many of his new themes, such as Arrival at Winterfell, A Song of Ice and Fire, and The Night King, stand out as some of the most memorable in all the series. The Night King, in particular, perfectly sets the horrifying mood for its scene.
Djawadi's Season 8 score is so good that one of the best new tracks, Stay a Thousand Years, didn't even make it into the season and can be heard only on the soundtrack. Djawadi won a well earned Emmy for his work on the season.
All hail King Ramin of the House Djawadi, first of his name, King of the Orchestra and the First Chair Violin, Lord and Protector of the Music.
