There are few songs that fit a story well and fewer still that can sing it with such range and emotion. I have enoyjed your singing of this song more than anything I have heard in the last two years. It was truly a wonderful song that tells the story of the Game of Thrones with more feeling than I ever expected. Thank you so much and please do not stop singing.
