Game of Thrones Songwriting Challenge

9/7/2017

So I rounded up some of my nerdiest TV-watching musician friends and presented them with a Game of Thrones themed songwriting challenge. Participants were randomly assigned GOT characters and tasked with writing a song influenced or inspired by that character in some way. Visit this FB event page to check out everyone's fabulous entries! I was originally assigned The Hound for my prompt, but I also wrote one for the Stark sisters when a couple participants had to back out. (How could I resist writing a sister song!?) Hope you enjoy - feel free to share with any fellow GOT-lovers!

Characters: Arya Stark & Sansa Stark
Songwriter: Lindsay White
Song Title: Needle & Thread
Lyrics:
1. i get to the point
i'm sharp to the touch
sometimes i'm out for blood
it doesn't take much
you're shockingly strong
not as soft as you seem
sometimes you are afraid
but babe you can get through anything

CH
we are tied together sister
we were born and bred and this time
we will keep what we reap when we sow
they don't know about this needle and thread

2. i struggled alone
got lost in the stack
returned to my home
i learned to attack
you suffered enough
all tangled and spun
we will not be caught stark naked
when the winter comes
REPEAT CH

Character: Sandor Clegane (The Hound)
​
Songwriter: Lindsay White
Song Title: The Hound
Lyrics:
1. face to the furnace, tears up in flames
i was the fodder, were you not entertained
you heard it cracking, did you laugh at that sound
fire is fuel when you're the hound

2. now i've taken orders and i've contravened
i've saved the day, and i have fled the scene
i could care less about castles and crowns
power is pointless when you're the hound

br
just allow me to touch upon the fact my knee was never bent
used to have a nose for blood but now it's gone i must have lost that scent
it's a wonder i've seen love at all it must have been by accident

3. i've taken prisoners, i've been behind bars
i figure salvation is not without scars
face to the furnace, nose to the ground
​fire is freedom when you're the hound
