Sansa's Hymn

- So, I'm reading the Song of Ice and Fire series (a.k.a. Game of Thrones) and in the second book, one of the main characters (Sansa) sings a song.
It's a hymn from the sept that she first sings before a great battle is fought and she sings it again later to the Hound (who is incredibly difficult for me to describe as a character) before he vanishes.
I wanted to put melody to the song and also capture both occurances within the same song.
Hope you like it!

LYRICS:
Gentle Mother, font of mercy,
Save our sons from war, we pray.
Stay the swords and stay the arrows,
Let them know a better day.
Gentle Mother, strength of women,
Help our daughters through this fray.
Soothe the wrath and tame the fury,
Teach us all a kinder way.
Gentle Mother, font of mercy,
Save our sons from war, we pray.
Stay the swords and stay the arrows,
Let them know a better day.
When I was thirteen I thought I was the most innocent and sweet girl and that everybody else awful and rotten. I can't hate Sansa for what she's like in book 1 or the show. She's realistic. When she was before the King and Queen and Joff she lied because she was just woken and thrown before them to either betray her sister or betray Joff (her betrothed at the time.) She does what she has to do to survive. And she will outlive ALOT of others.
Don't jinx it!!!
That aged pretty well
This aged amazingly
I can understand everything except her betray to his father, who was always a great father and told her to keep silence. She was an extremely stupid and selfish girl.
@@someone.5378 she didn’t know any better. And she didn’t think that Joffrey would had Ned’s head cut off. She was still in loved with the bastard before he gave the order.
The best version of Gentle Mother I've heard for now.
Joanna Maeyens Karliene's is very good.
I love this adaptation it's really deep. Sansa is my favourite character and I hope she makes it untill the end in the books... the show is totally done for me after they announced the absence of lady stoneheart...
ALLIED7621 where? I really want the Lady Stoneheart storyline to appear
Adele D. prove it
+nicomg1295 im going to assume you have watched this season thus far, but with the return of a certain character who has had history with the brotherhood without banners, it would make sense to have her storyline. especially considering the amount of death in s6 ep 7
Magda Sebilion I can't be the only person who really hates Sansa (though sometimes my hate is semi-irrational). And don't play the misogynistic card, I don't dislike her because she's a woman, for quite a while Dany was my favourite, then Jon and Arya became really entertaining
The last verse gives me chills...I'm a sucker for songs with a dark tone, and that last verse gives it one of the most solemn notes I've heard in a while.
this was so beautiful Sansa is truly the most feminine of the living characters in GoT.
Margaery is :)
Oh yeah, I forgot about her hahaha
Sansa is more senstive than Margaery, but more innocent, more girly. Whereas Margaery is more woman-like, more mature and smarter. Whatever, I love both of them
Well now Sansa is
This coment did not aged well
I feel the purity in this hymn, thank you for this. I applauded. It is best said with Queen Cersei holding the font of mercy for maximum atonement levels.
One of the most important parts of the books. Because of this song Sandor realized the saving power of religion and how the world isn't all evil.
Lovely! You know, Sansa has come to be one of my favourite characters; I just love her inner strength. As they say - courage doesn't always roar.
Sheila Mckillop I can only think of one courageous thing she did. When she saved ser Dontas and that was it. I low key despise Sansa
Wow, you somehow capture the essence of Sansa's character in this song...
The first few words she sang, I thought it was actually the voice of the actress, Sophie Turner. Maybe it's because of the picture on the video, I don't know. But it was really similar.
true story
PaulThePuppeteer The voice do seem very similar in the beginning, I had the same impression!
"It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As
well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was,
war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is
the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way."
'Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy
This is absolutely gorgeous. In my opinion, your arrangement is better than the one they actually use on the show. They should have used yours instead... it's so much more beautiful, & much more haunting. Amazing job!
They used this in the show?
They use this song/hymn, but not this arrangement. Sansa sings it during the Battle of Blackwater Bay, while she's hiding in Maegor's Holdfast with Cersei and the rest of the women in the Red Keep (if memory serves).
Why do people hate Sansa so much? Guess it's mostly TV show viewers and not readers, else I can't really find an explanation for that.
Edd!
+Dolorous Edd you are one of my fav characters in the book :D
I am a tv show viewer and I don't think anyone actually hates Sansa. (Besides for the 1st season). I like Sansa pleanty personally.
Hail the Lord commander (and I like Sansa's development in the show)
most people think she is powerhungry. And hate her for ""betraying"" her family.
All bullcrap off course sine they prob hate her because she is a feminine girl who acts like we would not how we want
This is the first version of the hymn I listened to years ago. It is still my favorite!
The first few seconds are so beautiful, just like an elfs voice. The rest of the song is also amazing!
"He didn't feel the fourth knife, only the cold.."
your version is still my favorite, by far
Your version is far superior to the show's, I think.
I come her to listen to this from time to time. This for me is the best version out there. Great job.
I love Sansa❤
I love your version of Sansa's Hymn, definitely my favorite of all. Your voice is stunning and so emotional.
Go Sansa!!
this is so cool. At the part where the harmonizing starts, I imagined Sansa and Catelyn singing together :)
This is beautiful. Well done!
Haunting
It gave me chills , really thank you for the beautifull song
Majestic.
That's AMAZING!!!!
I love it
This is so beautiful, I wish it would be available on iTunes
this is beautiful it gave me chills its perfect great job
I have chills. You have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
I hated Sansa in the first book, but I was younger then, fourteen, I believe. Five years later, I don't hate her anymore. I understand why she is the way she is.
Every time I hear this song, I get goosebumps. Such a beautiful, haunting melody. I love it.
this is enchanting! beautiful voice and nice interpretation.
Should Sansa survive the Night King, Cersei & The North gains independence I hope they play the hymn. Queen in The North.
E C we didn’t get to hear the hymn, but our queen got her queendom!
I have actually caught myself humming this! This performance actually makes me feel teary x
I imagine she singing this to the hound
I love this version. I had to turn this on while reading the scene in the room with Sandor Clegane.
who were the heartless 36 people who disliked this
Half of the mormonts.
Now 40!
Cersei Lannister was too drunk, ended up with multiple account and disliked it. Why, Cersei...?
This is beautiful.
wow, beautiful work.
this deserves to be in the soundtrack
this is so lovely. thank you for making this!!
a hauntingly beautiful piece. Extremely well done!
What is this perfection?? I can't even.
Mother have mercy. Every time I hear that, I have to sing along. And every time I sing along, I get shivers because, no matter how good I could get, I'll never get that good.
It's in two parts of the book, and it was on the show. There is the scene where she sings it to Clegane but just before that she sings it with the other women that are with Cersei during the battle. The women singing it together is briefly on the show.
I need a 10-Hour-Version of this!
Yay, we get to hear Sansa sing after all, since we didn't get to see it in the episode!!
Of all the versions I've heard, I like your melody the best :)
@LetomiUndercover You have captured that scene perfectly both in voice and composition. A great job, well done.
So beautiful! The best version ever! :D Thank you, Sansa.
so beautiful brought tears to my ears absolutely beautiful excellent job
Absolutely beautiful... You have a beautiful voice - so pure and talented. Well done! :)
I need a 10 hour version of this
Wow. This is really really pretty! I congratulate you, miss.
Wow, your voice is beautiful!
Letomi..you have picked one of the best melodical song si have heared...
Ice and fire was one of my fave books (mine and my bro's)
Great job /clap
Wow this is amazing, I had it running in a loop all day, still sounds great! :D
Your voice is hauntingly beautiful and the music and arrangement are superb! Thank you for your version of Sansa's prayer, it's the best!
Amazing. I don't even have a son yet but imagining what it would be like to send one in a war mixed with this music made me tear up a little.
Hauntingly beautiful melody.
That would have been unbelievably impressive to see played out that way. HBO needed you as an advisor.
This always gives me shivers. It should have definitely been put in the show.
oh my goodness, it's brilliant!
I really appreciat Sansa, she's so nice and i hope she will leave king's landing alive :')
Amazing, I can't stop listening to it. tttt
Thank you for this effort it was a nice feeling
I always read the words but never imagined them so
That singers voice is breathtakingly beautiful.
God bless you Walder, you all ways seem to know just what to say for these kinds of things.
This is breathtaking!
Okay I love this song. I sing it all the time. Thank you for uploading this. XD
As for Ned, he was honorable til the end. The scene where Varys is talking to him in the dungeons is what I want all of you to look up. It points out neds honesty and mercy, and how it led to his downfall. And as for Sansa, she is a bloody child people! She was naive, innocent, and stupid. She looked back on that moment with guilt. She had the blind trust that children often have toward cersei and Joff because they
I am out of words... You are legendary, but this... I am out of words... Good job! :O
I can't... stop... listening
Very well done.
Thank you for sharing it with the world.
Beautiful song and beautiful voice!
it is absolutely beautiful. thank you
One of my fav charsctees after Daenerys (my fav) and Jon.
Wow! Really original and beautiful; incredible talent.
The way you sing it is just so beautiful :) Really love it.
Yes, after listening to that version I can't bring myself to listen to this one anymore.
Good job!
I can imagine her singing this and... oh, it's great!
Lovely production as always! :)
That picture is awesome!
This is beautiful! Your voice is chilling, but so soothing.
Amazing. Love it. Angelic Voice combined with feeling and strength.
Letomi this is awesome! nice work!!! :D
Sansa would love this
This goes super hard
Nice use of the minor pentatonic- I really liked the middle verse where the melody feels like it grates against the harmony. It really felt like the anguish was present in the song.
Your voice *o*
That really is quite incredible. I adore it.
So beautiful!
I'm shivering.
Sansa
Yep, definitely. If you go from the end to the beginning you can easily see how much difference there is in the zoom.
Beautiful.
That was awesome! -3 Letomi! :)
wow.. endless-loop! ;-)
No, this is version is amazing.
Beautiful Leto!
Beatiful song..
