Game of Thrones composer reveals what the finale music means for Jaime and Brienne

Music is 'hint' of what their relationship could have been, says composerRamin Djawadi

Warning: the story below contains spoilers for Game of Thrones' eighth season.

The man behind the Game of Thrones score has revealed the hidden meaning behind one of the finale's tunes.

Fans' ears might have perked up during The Iron Throne, the final episode of the fantasy drama's eighth and last season, when Brienne of Tarth records Jaime Lannister's accomplishments – and his recent death – in the White Book.

As she does so, music starts playing, and some people noticed similarities between the tune and another composition previously heard in the second season.

That original track is "I Am Hers, She Is Mine", which was used during Robb and Talisa's wedding.

Some viewers picked up on the resemblance between the love tune and the composition playing during Brienne's moment – and the show's composer has now revealed he was hoping people would take note, as he was trying to convey a deeper message about Jaime and Brienne through his music.

"It's just a hint of what their relationship – if they had stayed together, if he was still alive – what it could have been. What they could have become. That's why I put that in there," Ramin Djawadi told Insider.

"I was amazed some people picked up on it. I was hoping people would go, 'Wait a minute, that's from season two.' And that was exactly my intent. I thought it would be very appropriate."

Jaime died ahead of the finale (which itself aired on 19 May), after being trapped along with Cersei in the collapsing Red Keep.
