Warning: this article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 2!
The second episode of Game of Thrones' final season ended on a fittingly somber note. As the inhabitants of Winterfell settled down for what very well might be their final night together, Podrick Payne serenaded his friends with a rendition of "Jenny of Oldstones," a popular folk tune among the people of Westeros. The episode also featured a reprise of the song over the ending credits, this time performed by Florence + The Machine.
As is pretty much always the case whenever we hear a new bit of music in the series, this tune has deep thematic implications. It's more than just a sweet, sad song about a bygone age. It speaks to the heart of the conflict between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen as the series finale looms.
