Karliene - The Dornishman's Wife
George R.R. Martin himself commented on this song when a kind You Tuber linked him my work on his "Not a Blog" site. He was very sweet and we had a lovely email conversation about his books and my music. What a lovely, lovely man.
Anyway, hope you like this slightly sinister and darkly primal rendition of one of my favourite songs from the books.

This song just perfectly captures the spirit of Asoiaf. Bloody, dark, sexual, stupid but with a hint of romanticism and resilience coming through all the same.
Bronn needs to make a mixed tape of all the Westeros classics

The Dornishman's wife was as fair as the sun, and her kisses were warmer than spring. But the Dornishman's blade was made of black steel, and its kiss was a terrible thing. The Dornishman's wife would sing as she bathed, in a voice that was sweet as a peach, But the Dornishman's blade had a song of its own, and a bite sharp and cold as a leech. As he lay on the ground with the darkness around, and the taste of his blood on his tongue, His brothers knelt by him and prayed him a prayer, and he smiled and he laughed and he sung, "Brothers, oh brothers, my days here are done, the Dornishman's taken my life, But what does it matter, for all men must die, and I've tasted the Dornishman's wife!"

She owns the rights to the performance. That's why covers are a thing, or why an orchestral performance of something by Mozart is still copyrighted, even though Mozart's works are in the public domain. Karliene's a nice girl - with a fantastic voice - who gave permission so the point is kind of mote, though.
Karliene, you bring ASIOF to life.
The best rendition of this song I've yet found; epic, melancholy but with a sensual undercurrent running through it, punctuated by the deep beat. Brilliant.
Again - made my day! Can't stop repeating the song!!!

Beautiful! Love your songs! A perfect soundtrack for the legendary series!
May be the second time I've ever commented on a video, but this song should definitely be used @ the end of episode eight of season four on Game of Thrones this season. I would love this rendition to play out the episode in fact... That's just wishful though. I just hope they use the damn song! WE'VE ALL HEARD RAINS OF CASTAMERE, SHOW GUYS. This is absolutely incredible, Karliene... I sing it out loud in public often simply because of your rendition.
i started watching these after feeling sad for you after your red wedding reaction vid and now im just jealous, great job! =)
Now that was the sweetest comment in the world, Jamie, you're quite a darling under all that armor aren't you. Thank you so much my lovely, i'm so touched you like my work. X
Completely addicted to this song at the moment, your music is amazing looking forward to hearing more.
Thank you, all my songs are currently available to download from my website karliene.com ( free of charge ) so take what you like. :-) I'm currently writing and recording my first original album which I hope to launch on itunes in the next few months so nothing new yet, but it will be worth it.
Wow! You sound like young Dolly Parton! So amazing. Absolutely beautiful vocals.
I think that there isn't any song on this world that I have listend so many times like this one. I love it, it's one of my favourites!
haha, that's quite a punishment. Thank you for coming by, i'm so happy you enjoyed it. X
Came here from your reaction video for the red wedding episode. You don't deserve a youtube video, you deserve your own show on national tv. Keep doing such great stuff.
This one really is special. You have a Loreena Mckennitt quality going on here.
Beautifully done . The Poetry of Music is a story much appreciated when I listen to your vocals Karliene.
for 6 years I have come back here to listen to this from time to time. 2021 its still sharp as a knife as she sings it.

Checked a few covers of this song; nothing even comes close to Bronn. Unfortunately the fooking Kingslayer stops him but Bronn sings like 2 - 3 lines. You can sing the rest of the song by yourself in the same tone and composition throughout if you like his version best. The verses are written in the same manner so it just goes with the flow. After that, when you reach the Brothers oh brothers part, just burst into the same tone Bronn does and finish the song on a high note. *Brrothers o brrothers my days here are doune. The Dorrrnishman's taken my laaaiiif! Buut watdoes itmaater for all men must die and I've tasted the dornishman's wife...I haaave... i've tasted the dornishman's wife.*

I don't like this version. In my head The Dornishman's Wife is a very happy and joyful song, a song you sing in taverns and such. But this was just very "sinister and darkly primal" as you said yourself.

Its like that because if you notice the arrangement is heavily Celtic as is her voice (Celtic arrangements normally have darker tones in terms of note arrangement and tempo which is what makes Celtic music so beautiful sounding because of its fantasy influenced sound structure it makes you imagine walking the emerald isle and it's forests) Celtic music in itself is Primal but can be beautiful all at once

This is completely wrong. In the books, the song is meant to be jovial, humorous and quite raunchy, something one would sing in a tavern with some friends and good alcohol. Not some epic and dramatic tale the way she sings it.
