We were all once hooked to the intricate story with epic sword fighting, along with gigantic fire-breathing dragons in one drama series.

We’re talking about Game of Thrones, the epic medieval story that unfolds in the land of Westeros, where everything you would less expect happens. However, one of the most unforgettable things about the series is its cool theme song.

In fact, the tune is so addictive that we always imagine it playing in our heads when we talk about the series.

Small-time musicians to large-scale orchestras have tried to replicate this iconic tune.

For example, take this unique busking band who gave their cover of the song while on the Galway streets.

The Harp, The Accordion and The Ugly is what they call their band.

They are composed of seven members, each playing a different instrument. Aside from that, each member comes from a different country. Annie Chambers, the harpist, is from England.

Lastly, Juliana Erkonnen is a violinist from Finland.

The seventh member was a double bass player but apparently, he was not present in this video.

These buskers filled the cold streets of Galway with their music.

It was a cold day on Shop Street in Galway, and it seemed like the rain just stopped when a bunch of musicians assembled on the side.

They each held different instruments, including a harp and a classical guitar.

The original tune of the theme song was a bit dark, and you can just imagine the burning battlefield with factions crossing swords with each other.

However, this busking band managed to give the song a lighter and colorful feeling as if they were a bunch of bards serenading the townsfolks in olden times.

Even in the video, you can see a little kid who starts tap dancing as he listened to them perform the song. The harmonies on their instruments were so satisfying to hear that you cannot help but get drawn to every bit of it.

This band received a lot of love from the internet for their gorgeous cover.
