the fact that this dude composed the entire soundtrack for 8 seasons straight, and now he's working on a prequel and he's STILL killing it??? his inspiration never runs out, probably one of the best composers that ever existed
Not only that, but he hasn't lost a step. It would be easy to lean into old material and kind of half-ass it, but instead the House of the Dragon soundtrack is _incredible_ and absolutely loaded with tracks which perfectly represent their characters and their moments. Daemon's song is one of the best things he's done in the entire ASOIAF/Dance of Dragons lineage
@@Saicofake have you read the books? All I want to know is did rhaenyra or any of her children ascend the throne? Because that's thr reason I'm watching the show
@@Usul26 Since you asked, yes someone on Rhaenyra's side did ascend the throne. However as Ramsay Bolton once said, "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention...".
@@lashaneperera8713 oh wow this gave me goosebumps. To be honest I'm fine with any outcome except for Alicent or any of her children rising to power. I really don't like them and as I understand it, neither does Viserys. I feel like he prefers rhaenyras children more than them.
"Lord Corlys of House Velaryon! Lord of Tides, Master of Driftmark! And his lady wife, princess Rhaenys Targaryen, and their son and heir Sir Laenor Velaryon, The Future King Consort!" 3:59 👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful. The most powerful of the houses after the ones ruling the kingdoms, possessing the largest navy known to Westeros, the richest family within Westeros, owner of half the dragons within the realm, unique physical characteristics, and a legendary warrior and explorer as ruler of the House. Ladies and gentlemen, House Velaryon, oldest living house, descendants from Valyria.
@@theodorejao6281 I don't know if you had real Fire and Blood, but the don't read what I'll write : The mariage between Rhaenyra and Laenor will be fake on. Rhaenyra will have children but not will Laenor (because of his sexual orientation). It is said she will have children with one of the brothers of house Strong, I don't really recall which one, surely the actual Hand, or the knight. Thus actually, making the "power" of the Velaryons, hollow.
They're just so COOL. Corlys is slaying, RHAENYS?! a Queen, I love her. Laenor is also pretty cool, he seems so nice 😭 Laena is so beautiful and she also seems like a really nice woman tbh. hope we see more of them, absolute CHADS.
Rhaenys is a Targaryen, so she might have a seperate theme combining the Valeryon and Targaryen theme, just like Aegon has a mix of Targaryen and Hightower theme.
There is a lot of similarity with the Targaryen themes, but its more ..... tropical?! 😄 Similar sounds and instruments, and I cant explain it any better, but I know one thing, and that is that Ramin Djawadi is a legend!!
@@dept308 Yesss! They are basically a branch of the Targaryen family in all but name by this generation. Corlys has some Targ blood in him, and his children with Rhaenys even get to ride dragons. 🤗
@@Alex-mn1fb I think it’s due to Rhaneys’ having Targaryen blood and of course extending to her children why they can ride dragons. Not sure if Corlys can ?
This definitely makes me think of the sea, with the horn type instruments, almost sounds like when you blow air through a shell or something. Brilliant.
no he isn’t, the maps from the cidadel about the planetos is big because of him; he’s a legend seafarer at the point of the dance. Nobody ever did what he did
One of my favorite themes out of the franchise , I envision strong powerful waves crashing against barnacle filled boulders , misty air , ships very nautical and powerful.
I don't know how he's able to make themes that capture the auras of the houses and their characters. Like this definitely feels like some great ancient navy is moving through the seas.
I am super interested in 9 voyages of the Sea Snake his encounter with various people especially the Yi Tian. I really want HBO to release an audio lore video of the 9 Voyages.
I liked the young version of Laenor and Joffrey too. And their entrance was impressive and powerful. I'm still pissed at Criston Cole for what he did during the celebration at the end. Complete lack of self and emotional control. Throwing a temper tantrum was not wise.
What's incredible about the velaryons is how they fell very low 150years later when compared to the previous powerhouse they were in the old days. They had the largest fleet in westeros and even more wealth than the lannisters and the hightowers
@Voskhod there definitely is such a thing. There are instruments that both Romans and Greeks used in antiquity. Very similar cultures from all points of view.
If anything, there should be more people of colour. The Velaryons are exceptional, like the Targaryens, but it's still so weird that they're the only black people in Westeros. Wish there would be many more non-white actors on the show, and especially as nobles.
No, it's purely a token casting choice. They're there because they're black, nothing more, the Velaryons weren't black in the books. They're good actors but this was purely the showrunners making a political statement, as they've said themselves. Still a great theme, though.
@@TrojanKassandra weird? They came from another continent where coloured poeple are the majority to a continent where white people are majority, like daenerys in essos, she was the only white. You are just a SJW nonsense bitching.
this song does make me feel like I am riding a war ship into battle, perfect theme for house Velaryon
Yes! U described it perfectly
Exactly!
On a majestic man-o-war under full sail.
Omg you said it perfectly! I felt the same

Agreed. He is the only writer in the old show that did not fail us.

He learn with zimmer....only can be thé best
This soundtrack is base off shireens song
Ramin Djawadi is definitely the best composer alive
John Williams?
Up there with Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky
@@bigdima6945 Johnny Greenwood is the best by far
Ramin Djawadi for me is the chosen one. A worthy successor to Zimmer.
@@kieffer4615 Wasn't he a student of Zimmer's?
Corlys made his family what they are by his own two hands. Give that man some respect.
Its a pity the dance’s gonna ruin everything.

Ladies and gentlemen, House Velaryon, oldest living house, descendants from Valyria.
Where are the Velaryons in Game of Thrones timeline? Did they become extinct?
@@NinaC not extinct, but poor and insignificant
Not to be a downer, but doesn't House Velaryon only own 2 of the dragons as of episode 5? Meleys and Seasmoke, as we saw when this theme was played.
@@TheMiczzz They have at least three dragon if I recall correctly. Meleys (Rhaenys dragon), Seasmoke (Laenors dragon) and Vhagar (Laenas dragon)
They became Baratheon bannermen ( Stannis )
The musician that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire. Ramin
also crazy detail, I think it's bastard son on far left
Omg, this music makes Velaryons so powerfull!
The power is hollow as we will see later on.
@@Infernal460 How so
But yes, they are pretty much the sole reason Rhaenyra even had a chance and actually a good one to sit on the throne

It's like there's a storm on the sea horizon and there's no choice but to ride into it!
You must never await the storms coming!
I thought no other house can beat my love for Targaryens, but here we are. Their power 🧎🏻♂️
Targs > any house
But still targeryns are far more powerful.
They have power only because of the seasnake
Targaryens aren’t all that. Velaryon is cooler tbh
I mean... in terms of just music and how recognizable it is... Lannisters and Starks are still untouched
Cringeland is right
Rhaenys riding into battle with this music playing on the background is gonna be so badass
Absolutely
Rhaenys is a Targaryen, so she might have a seperate theme combining the Valeryon and Targaryen theme, just like Aegon has a mix of Targaryen and Hightower theme.
@@fortheloveofcats2462 Thanks for sharing that, I didn't even notice.
Music did play, but Vhagar and Aemond's, not this one :(
There is a lot of similarity with the Targaryen themes, but its more ..... tropical?! 😄 Similar sounds and instruments, and I cant explain it any better, but I know one thing, and that is that Ramin Djawadi is a legend!!
It makes sense because Corlys spent a lot of time travelling in the East and amassing wealth due to it.
@@Oakland510 Exactly! And the similar sounds of drums and horns are cuz they originate in Old Valyria, just like the Targaryens.
They're bound by blood too since even before Aegon I presume? So, makes sense.
@@dept308 Yesss! They are basically a branch of the Targaryen family in all but name by this generation. Corlys has some Targ blood in him, and his children with Rhaenys even get to ride dragons. 🤗

Best scene of the season so far for me❤️
I absolutely LOVED their entrance as a family
They're ancient house from Old Valyria besidesTargaryen. Of course thay're badass 🔥
The entrance was epic. The family showed pride and strength. I'm sad to see that they didnt make it to Game of Thrones. They are an incredible family.
@@ReignofIndepence They made it in the books and they will have a part to play in the finale of the books.
2nd best. Rhaenyra finding the map Daemon left her and her going to down the secret hallway was mine. But this was close.
This definitely makes me think of the sea, with the horn type instruments, almost sounds like when you blow air through a shell or something. Brilliant.
What instrument exactly is that amazing horn sound? It’s so unique !
Makes me feel more like they are riding on horse back to war more than sea for me.
Say what you will but the House of Velaryon knows how to make an entrance.
Corlys velaryon is so underrated
True still wish we saw/see more of him!
wait and watch seasmoke performance...
no he isn’t, the maps from the cidadel about the planetos is big because of him; he’s a legend seafarer at the point of the dance. Nobody ever did what he did
Many Thanks, Diego.
Such a powerful theme for House Velaryon.
Out of all the themes within Game of Thrones... this is probably the best one -- and we haven't even finish this entire show yet lol
True bro it just keep playing in my head. Took me a while to get this original. It is so unique.
Ramin Djawadi is an absolute legend
I was waiting for you to compose this since the episode aired! You’re a master at your craft mate.
This song is originally actually from Game of Thrones Season 3 surprisingly, when Shireen sings a song about the sea! Incredible composition man
اي حلقة
which episode ? want to hear it !
@@conexy2k7 credit of Episode 5 season 3. Or you can search the title song "It's always summer under the sea".
John Williams, Daft Punk, Ramin Djawadi, Hans Zimmer, and Howard Shore are my COMPOSERS
Ennio M
I'd add Trent Reznor and Vangelis
I know why you put daft punk there
Their theme makes me love them even more😭😭❤️
The moment they made they entrance, they inspired respect. I was gobsmacked.
The most beautiful scoring in the series. A work of art, if it please you my Lord.
Hell yes...... thanks.. Been waiting since yesterday
Something in this composition feels like “gold, men, ships and legacy” 🆒
🐴🧜♂️
By far the most epic House entrance in the series!!!
I thought what new would Ramin Djawadi do after such an awesome work in GOT. But indeed he again exceeded the expectations.
One of my favorite themes out of the franchise , I envision strong powerful waves crashing against barnacle filled boulders , misty air , ships very nautical and powerful.
You did a really good job recreating this theme, Diego. Very powerful and sounds ancient.
OH MY GOD
THANK YOU SO MUCH
King Viserys's Entrance from episode 8!
ruclips.net/video/TXNo6_uP8PU/видео.html
Magnificent entrance! Such powerful portrayal of a house! Be it for representation or book adaptation, the job was well done! Love them!! 👏🏻👏🏻
For me this is the best soundtrack of the entire show.
House velaryon is class and power...kneel everyone 🙌🔥
I don't know how he's able to make themes that capture the auras of the houses and their characters. Like this definitely feels like some great ancient navy is moving through the seas.
Again, you're doing the work of the gods. Many thanks. House Velaryon forever!
Tbh Ramin Djawadi is the rightful king of westeros
They deserve to be included in winds of winter, do it george ❤
Agreed!
Their entrance alone gave me chills idk about yall but to me thats power
That accordion sound and drum bass is so good
This theme makes me feel like im riding a sailing warship into war
Well that is definitely a Good Morning !
Thanks a lot Señor Diego💙
So powerful and senorial. In my opinion, the strongest house in Westeros by this moment 💪🏼
Glorious entrance in the 5th Ep . until now its the best scene for me
I love this!! Thank you for posting all of these!
man.. we need this on spotify
I love House Velaryon theme ! Get this to Apple Music ASAP !
This and the announcement felt like a WWE or UFC entrance it suited the Velaryons well.
This music is fc PERFECT for this House . 10/10 🫡💙
Me and the boys after routing the Triarchy and properly garrisoning the Stepstones.
Gives you goosebumps but in a good way ❤️
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks Diego.
Ramin Djawadi will gone down in history as one of the greatest composers ever. He never disappoints.
Indeed!
Entrances are so fuckin amazing in this show , be if this driftmark guys , daemon , or ep8 Viserys into the main hall . God damn
Please!!! Do the Weeding dancing instrumental with the violins and drums🙏
I am super interested in 9 voyages of the Sea Snake his encounter with various people especially the Yi Tian. I really want HBO to release an audio lore video of the 9 Voyages.
Well they are actually planning an show on Corly's voyages don't get your hopes up too much though nothing official has been confirmed yet
@@booksofshadows8014 it's doesn't really has to be a show though.... Animated lore video like they used to do is better. imo.
What a piece of music! Always brings me chills when watching the show!
The song is like a life ; war and peace, victory and defeat, rise and fall.
This piece is Power, Respect, Greatness... I love it!!!
Masterpiece 💎
The best entrance ever
I love how it has that little bits of the Targ’s theme.
Never was an entry this dominant. Best scene of the episode by far!
AMAZING!! Would be incredible if you could also do the song that plays during the dance!! That was epic!
This is a banger! Like playing this on our journey to Braavos, Asshai, Yi-Ti, Slaver's Bay, Qaarth
i could never imagine a more fitting theme ramin djawadi is a genius
The Old, the True, the Brave !!!!!
lets goooo finally
Ramin Never disappoints
Ramin is the prince that was promised
Gives me goosebumps ❤️❤️
I love Corlys and Lady Laena (the elder ), both actors did great job. And this music is fantastic!
This feels ancient ! Love it
LORD CORLIS OF HOUSE VELARYON,, MASTER OF DRIFTMARK!!
The Velaryons are totally beautiful and spectaculars this song is brutal. 💙🔥🥰
My boy Ramin never disappoints.
Your next drink 🍹 is on me.
I liked the young version of Laenor and Joffrey too. And their entrance was impressive and powerful. I'm still pissed at Criston Cole for what he did during the celebration at the end. Complete lack of self and emotional control. Throwing a temper tantrum was not wise.
Esto me recuerda muchísimo a Assassin's Creed Blackflag, surcando los mares en mi navío y luchando batallas Navales!!!!
me and my family walking into an all you can eat Sushi restaurant with this theme.
I miss the map opening entrance they used to have. But glad they have the same music.
Lord Corlys Velaryon lord of the tides master of Driftmark
Lord of Dripmark

Same with house targaryen right?
It‘s because the Free Cities plundered and destroyed their homes
this is so fireeee
i miss laena already 😭
Sounds like a Mediterranean song
I don't think that's really a thing... the area is too large and diverse. Medieval Italian? sure.
How so?
Does it sound Greek, Egyptian, Italian or something else?
@Voskhod
there definitely is such a thing. There are instruments that both Romans and Greeks used in antiquity. Very similar cultures from all points of view.

I honestly adore Valeryon casting choise, like yes it's a fantasy, diverse world - endless possibilities.

Imagine the Velaryon also have the ability to tame dragons, but not the sky dragons, the sea ones.
I have thought about this too!
Increíble la representación musical de la casa Velaryon.
House Velaryon have the best drip
Wow! Amazing work! I was looking for this song last night! Thank you so much!!!
Arya's Theme, The Targaryen theme, this theme, the Dragonstone Cave scene theme and the GoT original theme are my top 5.
Anyone notice the House Velaryon theme's first few notes resembling Shireen Baratheon's "It''s Always Summer Under the Sea"?
This song reminds me a bit of pirates of the Caribbean
Boss music 💪💪💪
