A Battle-Scarred Tyrion Lannister
This isn't new territory for the show as another indie band, 'The National' performed the somber "The Rains of Castemere" during season 2. Pretty cool for the showrunners to do stuff like this, although I'm sure there was no shortage of talent willing to participate. But it really lends depth and character to the world created for the show. I love the touches like this, especially for "The Rains of Castemere" which plays a big role in such a pivotal scene in the books.
Lyrics to "The Bear and the Maiden Fair":
A bear there was,A bear, A BEAR!All black and brown,And covered with hair
Oh come they said,Oh come to the fair!The fair? said he,But I’m a bear!All black and brown,And covered in hair!
And down the road,From here to there,From here!To there!Three boys, a goat,And a dancing bear!They danced and spun,All the way to the fair!
Oh! sweet she was,And pure and fair,The maid with honey,In her hair! Her hair,The maid with honey,in her hair!
The bear smelled the scent,On the summer air!The Bear! The Bear!All black and brown,And covered with hair!He smelled the scent,On the summer air,He sniffed and roared,And smelled it there!Honey on the summer air!
Oh I’m a maid,And I’m pure and fair,I’ll never dance,With a hairy bear,A bear! A bear!I’ll never dance,With a hairy bear!
The bear,the bear!Lifted her high,into the air!The bear, the bear!
I called for a knight!But you’re a bear!A bear! A bear,All black and brown,And cover in hair!
She kicked and wailed,The maid so fair,But he licked the honey,From her hair!Her hair! Her hair!He licked the honey,From her hair!
Then she sighed and squealed,And kicked the air,She sang: My bear so fair,And off they went,The bear! The bear!And the maiden fair!
So get hyped, because season 3 starts March 31st at 9pm EST on HBO. Which means more of the enchanting Rose Leslie as Ygritte.
