Florence and the Machines played their Game of Thrones<\/a><\/em>-inspired track \u201cJenny of Oldstones\u201d live for the first time at Arizona\u2019s FORM Arcosanti festival. The song was released last month alongside the second episode of the HBO series\u2019 final season and is the only new original track for season eight.<\/p>\n

Frontwoman Florence Welch brought out collaborator Kelsey Lu to guest during the performance and offered the number to a fan favorite character. \u201cI would like to dedicate this song to Arya Stark, who saved us all,\u201d Welch told the audience.<\/p>\n

Welch was approached by the Game of Thrones<\/em> show runners directly, although D.B. Weiss and Dan Benioff didn\u2019t give her any specific direction on creating the song.  \u201cWhat I wanted to do with this song was keep it as sparse as possible,\u201d she said of the track<\/a>. \u201cIt does get a bit more rousing at the end, but I really wanted to retain the simplicity of the melody and the lyrics that they sent me, because I found them so moving. If I had known the history of the song, I would have been like, \u201c[Expletive], we need fanfares, and you\u2019re going to have to get a dragon on here somehow.\u201d I might have \u2014 as I can do sometimes \u2014 overblown it. So I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t know then, but I\u2019m glad to know now. You want the beauty and the fragility in there as well. I would have made it too big, if I had known just how [expletive] big it is!\u201d<\/p>\n

Florence and the Machine<\/a>\u2019s most recent album, High As Hope<\/em>, dropped last year. The band has since released two one-off singles, \u201cHaunted House\u201d<\/a> and \u201cModeration.\u201d<\/a> They are currently on tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n
