Until I watched season 7, I found "Light of the Seven" (from The Winds of Winter S6E10, Cersei's conquering, if you will) to be not only my favorite, but one of the best composed pieces in the entire series. It's powerful, emotional, blends perfectly with an enhances the scenes it plays against on screen, etc...........
but then the last 2 minutes of S7E7, The Dragon and the Wolf, where Jaime's riding north and the world is darker, and snow falls, and "Winter is Here" plays.... that piece, while nowhere near as entertaining to listen to as LotS, was, for me, so much more heart-wrenchingly powerful.... and tbh, depressing.
Watching that scene I felt, even though Jaime's epiphany, and his departure for (presumably) Winterfell should be uplifting, that the music robbed me of any hope for Jon and Dany to defeat the NK.... it felt like the journey was over or that it was filled not with hope anymore, but despair..... Damn you, Djawadi for being so good........
