I previously posted a version of The Rains of Castamere, but I got excited about this one because it is sung by The National.  Sadly, it isn’t that good, and now my main reason for posting it is to bring to attention the fact that HBO is apparently getting some pretty good bands together to do a soundtrack for Game of Thrones.

Also, before even listening to this version, I realized that The Decemberists are the perfect band to do this song.
