House of the Dragon OST - Targaryen Family Dinner 

I wasn't expecting so much warmth in a show like this, that's what made this so shockingly sad. This scene wasn't just the calm before the storm, it was what could have been

The fact that this isnt on the soundtrack is CRIMINAL

Seeing the little smile on Visery's face during this scene actually hit me in da feels. Was genuinely tearing up, even knowing how this is going to go.

Ramin’s work really shines in this episode. What a great soundtrack for an altogether perfect hour of television.

Even Queen Alicent was hopeful with the rekindling of her friendship with Princess Rhaenyra. What a series.

I loved that Viserys left the table before the boys started fighting. I’m glad he was able to go out in peace like that, in spite of all his pain. In just eight episodes Paddy created one of the most sympathetic characters in both GoT and HotD.

At least Viserys died having seen his family happy one last time... It was such a beautiful and tragic scene, knowing what comes after...

This scene really got to me. This will sound some what ridiculous to some but it reminded me of my wedding. I had a private wedding and my uncle who I dearly loved attended. He had terminal cancer and was extremely poorly. As we all sat around the table enjoying each others company, he looked on at us with a sense of pride and happiness that he was with us to enjoy the moment. He was visually so so poorly but just wanted to be there in our company. He passed away 8 weeks later and I will miss him everyday.

This. This is television. Truly tragic, happy, and just incredible. The motifs spring joy as everyone laughs and smiles, even Otto, until the somber violin is all that’s left and everything begins to crumble to the ground. So much potential for rekindling and for that “Happily Ever After” but unfortunately, or fortunately, this isn’t that kind of show. Truly heart wrenching. Some incredibly talented work on all fronts.

Genuinely got me all choked up. The fact that they all decided to behave like an actual family for once, all for the sake of his last wish. That was incredibly powerful. So many troublemakers on that table (Daemon, Aemond, Aegon, perhaps even Jace) and they all tacitly decided to hold the peace, if only for the little while he was at the table.

The dinner scene was epic....just so beautiful!

They way Viserys looks Jace and Helaena dancing is very sad as if he was being reminded of his younger years with the love of his life Aemma. 😔

Man, the feels I felt with this scene. The way the music shifts to almost slow time down and put us inside Viserys' head about a minute in. His final happy moment. Just perfect.

"It is sad, Frodo, how old alliances can be broken. How friendships between peoples can be lost. And for what?" - Bilbo Baggins

I swear I'll go and knock on Ramin's front door and demand that he puts this song on Spotify. LIKE THIS IS THE ONE SONG I ANTICIPATED THE MOST TO BE RELEASED!!! I have to go back here on RU-vid to listen to this masterpiece every time.

Love how it starts with so much joy and then gradually becomes somber

This scene was TV masterpiece. Viserys watching his family happy together is the only thing he ever wanted. You were a good king, thank you.

I haven't cried this much for a TV show except for when Jon was named king in the north. Amazing work by Ramin, Paddy and the director

I believe this is the best and most heartwarming/sad send off a character has ever gotten. All hail king Viserys Tagaryen!

It's a sin that this doesn't exist on the official soundtrack of the series. Thank goodness for this video. Amazing music!

After this episode it made me just want to re watch the first episode again just to see viserys healthy and happy. What an amazing show. The characters feel so real.

Every time this motif from Aemma's death scene played in the episode it broke my heart. She loomed large over the whole thing.

GUYS I FOUND IT!!!! ITS CALLED TARGARYEN FAMILY DINNER BY DIEGO MITRE. IT'S AVAILABLE ON ALL LISTENING PLATFORMS!!! LFG!!!!!

Who would have thought that in a show about Dragons, the best episode have none in it.

I honestly cried at the scene,so pure,so innocent for once.

This scene teared out my heart. They were this close to make peace and they laugh together and are happy, but as soon as Viserys leaves we know it was a farce and although Alicent has made her peace with Rhaenyra being queen (or so I think) her children ruin it all.

I’ve seen a lot of people say Viserys was a weakling; this man descended into the Dragonpit and stirred BALERION THE BLACK DREAD into allowing him to ride on his back for four flights around the Red Keep, which took all the strength the old dragon had left in him. The very same mount of the Conqueror himself! A dragon hatched in Old Valyria before the Doom. Viserys never rode another dragon after Balerion died the following year. He allowed Viserys to be his last dragonrider. Viserys was a true Targaryen and a good man; Balerion saw that and so do I.

3:08 this part hits me so harder, i cried

Good. Let us have some music. Extended Folk Version! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0xPXDXmpYnM.html

Why isn’t this on the official soundtrack list?? This is so beautiful. It’s probably the only soundtrack that touched my Soul in this season & the way Viserys looked at that …❤️‍🩹

After a second watch I realized how many times smaller parts of this piece play throughout the season, and it culminates in the two versions we hear in this episode, “Protector of the Realm” during the throne room scene, and this version during the dinner. Its almost like Viserys’ theme. I love the two sides to it; “Protector of the Realm” is powerful, devastating, strong, while this version is tragic, moving, and bittersweet

I haven't cried yet for House of the Dragom, but this scene just hits different. All Viserys wants, and any common family wants is to be happy, to pass on knowing your house was kind, loving, and at peace. It's a hope all want to hold onto but it only takes a few to break it.

King Viserys, the Peaceful. Played brilliantly by Paddy Considine. My favourite character. When a man’s dedication to family and an existential prophecy are inextricably linked. This piece is fantastic. A real, warm, almost unexpected treat among it all. Bitter sweetness in heaps.

I will miss King Viserys Targaryen First of His Name

While this piece isn’t on the OST (unfortunately because I love it) we do get a similar version that is slower, sadder, and more dramatic. It’s called “An Impossible Choice”, and I believe it plays around the time Queen Aemma and Baelon die in the first episode. If that’s correct, then that’s genius to place a happier version in this scene because Viserys knows he doesn’t have much longer and he’ll be with Aemma soon. Just my thoughts on the placing, I could be totally wrong. 😊

This scene hurts those people who wanted a family and those who wanted happiness for a broken family

This music starts with sort of joyous melody to tragic after a while. It grabs the hearts of the audience at the moment and sort of hints at what is going to happen.

I literally cried at this scene...it's not only a goodbye or his last dinner, but it is a vision of how things could have been :/ How easy and peaceful the world could have been when things would have been different. It's too tragic and sad - and this scene ist a masterpiece!

Sadly this piece wasn't officially released on the soundtrack so I'm so grateful that you recreated it and shared it with us all! Thank you so much!

Truly one of the best musical choices for this. Loved this scene. Viserys was like "I did it. I averted disaster and death with my final breath. My daughter and brother happy. My wife and best friend are even laughing and smiling. And all my kids and grandkids are reunited and smiling. I did it." Then AEMOND COULDNT HANDLE THE DAMNED PIG

0:55 is when things gets anoyyingly emotional , can't listen to tracks theses days without spitting some tears.

Viserys’ theme is so good and sad ❤ I love it Really shows how hard he tried to keep everyone happy and specially his Daughter Rhaenyra.

The composer made this episode work so well. Thank you!

Emmy worthy! Now let me show you the emotional rollercoaster in Rings of Power: ________________________________

I don't know how people didn't cry watching this scene

Why this song is not in the soundtrack? How can they not include this beautiful song?

This soundtrack just does something for me. I can't explain it.

this what a 10/10 episode sounds like

Best moment of the shoe for me. I legit cried

This music is like reminding us we all will leave someday...

the moment it switch to sad melody 0:45 that hurts me so bad, that makes me realise it's time to say goodbye to King Viserys!!!

The inflection from chipper dinner music to dad farewell anthem was the softest most painful kick in the feels…

When this man wins the Emmy I’m going to stand up in my living room and clap. Thank you to all involved in this show, this is art.

RIP Viserys gone but never forgotten

This scene was goddamn magical TV at its finest here 🙏🙏

We saw a foreshadow of the the dance of dragons here but wholesome

0:43 when the scissors start gliding through the wrapping paper of my emotions

wasn't expecting to cry so much after seeing one last smile from the dying king

Tragic though it all is, I'm happy for Viserys's sake that his last memory was of his family actually sitting down together and enjoying themselves in peace, for once. Reminds me of his death in the book, too; On the third day of the third moon of 129 AC, Princess Helaena brought her three children to visit with the king in his chambers. The twins, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, were six years old, their brother, Maelor, only two. His Grace gave the babe a pearl ring off his finger to play with, and told the twins the story of how their great-great grandsire and namesake Jaehaerys had flown his dragon north to the Wall to defeat a vast host of wildlings, giants, and wargs. Though the children had heard the story a dozen times before, they listened attentively. Afterward the king sent them away, pleading weariness and a tightness in his chest. Then Viserys of House Targaryen, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm, closed his eyes and went to sleep. He never woke. He was fifty-two years old, and had reigned over most of Westeros for twenty-six years. *Then the storm broke, and the dragons danced.*

This music describes what Viserys always wanted. Just his family to be happy and at peace with each other. Truly tragic character 😢. Damn you Otto 🤬

Rest in peace Viserys... you are better off where you are, with your Aemma... Though we will miss you😪

Viserys final moments seeing people in his family get along,really hit me.His smile as if he was ready to move on thinking this would be how it is.Viserys the peaceful really suits his name

This scene made me realise in the end all you have is family.

I cried like a baby when the camera zoomed up on Viserys and his smile... it was all he ever wanted. A loving family, together and happy. At least he died knowing it's all gonna be alright, even though it wont 😭 rest in peace, Your Grace

This score makes me bawl everytime. Especially in reels of Helaena dancing.

Remind me of our last family meal with my Daddy before he died. Christmas. How I wish I could relive it.

Ramin Djawadi cannot miss. We need to study him

This begins as one of the happiest pieces of music in the GoT universe, and I love it. Then it takes such a turn, and I still love it. All together, it is just so otherworldly...

How the hell is this track NOT in the official album ???

Crying, sobbing, throwing up, rolling on the flor

0:56 makes me tear up

This song in my opinion completely nails the emotions of joy, fun, family, accomplishments, sadness, despair, loss

how is it all the songs from this show are on Spotify yet the best one isnt? baffling

King Viserys - Too good of a man to play the game, he just wanted everyone to get along. Incredible track, very moving seeing him look around at his legacy thinking he'd put it right in his last moments.

If only Alicent hadn't misunderstood what Viserys said in hie final moments. I almost cried when Viserys was watching his family and smiling, he was so hopeful that they'd live peacefully together after that.

One of the most tragic scene i’v ever seen, considering what will happen next… Such a shame, they could have been invincible together. This theme is a master piece❤️

Absolutely wretched and heartbroken this wasnt on the OST!

The Iron Throne corrupts everything. All the death and suffering to come, and for what?

It is ironic that the seemingly 'fake' emotions at the dinner was actually the most authentic we've ever seen them. It was the only time they were NOT putting on their masks. It was actually the most authentic we've seen them. It shows that without the line of succession and primogeniture and all the other royal madness mirroring what existed in medieval Europe, these people could've been really good friends. But the system they lived in destined them to murder each other. It's like being born into rival blocks in southside chicago. You don't have much of a choice. The dinner sequence was so despairing because they all knew it was the last moments of solitude, but at the same time they probably did briefly delude themselves into thinking "maybe, just maybe things will work out". They’re all unwitting participants in a tragic theater that’s about to unfold.

I see no one gives props to episode director Geeta Vasant Patel so I would like to mention her. Indians are usually family oriented people and maybe that's the reason why this scene and episode puts emphasis on Taragryen family as whole. Brilliant direction! Hats off to Geeta

This scene and the music, moved me to tears 😪.. thank you for this rendition Diego!

I'm not normally one for getting genuinely upset when it comes to tv shows but man this reminded me so much of my grandad.

I’m bummed because I’ve got the OST and can’t find a track to match the dinner scene. I’ll be revisiting this often!

This is of the most emotional songs I have heard in quite a while, and paired with the dinner scene, it made me bawl my eyes out

That transaction to viserys smiling is so heartbreaking 😢😢

The Dragon roared one last time for his daughter

Living and studying abroad away from my mother I teared up a little bit. I hope I can finish my studies as soon as possible and be there with my mother in her old age. I wish everyone could go out like Viserys, around their loved ones.

Definitely the music that made the biggest impression on me with Light of the seven. Ramin Djawadi's work is incredible and he proves in each episode the importance of music to support the emotion of the series. Just fantastic.

This scene had all kinds of amazing emotions. Truly one of the best scenes in House of the Dragon, if not television as a whole. 10/10 episode

The last glimpse of happiness before the depression.

Whenever I hear to this I tear up seeing how happy Viserys was to see his family together. His most loved people. He only wanted a happy family. A simple thing. Feel so bad for the man. Rest in peace Viserys.

I didn't expected despite the title 'House of the dragon' this episode to be the best without even showing a dragon's single glimpse ....That was something different 💙..

I love the musical turn. The dinner is pure joy and warmth, a triumph of goodwill and family. But it's really a painful moment, as Viserys knows he'll have to leave. And he never wanted to leave.

La escena de la cena fue muy icónica; especialmente con ésta maravillosa melodía, gracias Ramin Djawadi 🖤

What a scene and Beautiful music as well .. paddy should have got an Emmy for his performance

Man paddy! What an incredible actor. Viserys character made me feel so many emotions, yet at the end of it all, all I could feel is such sorrow and pity because of what is to come. He did an amazing job capturing this moment, you can see it in his eyes and expression how he is trying to freeze this moment, to hold this moment as much as he can. And perhaps him crying from joy and sadness because it is the last time he will see his family like this. I hope viserys found some peace in having this one moment in his memory.

My favorite thing about this track is it starts off as an in-universe, canon song, and slowly transitions into a real soundtrack song with the main title motif and everything!

What every good man who built their life on family and legacy deserves at the end: to see his family happy one last time. God bless Paddy Considine and Ramin Djawadi for setting the tone in this scene so beautifully.

My dad passed away because of Cancer which spread on the left side of his head. He lost an eye as well.. On his dying bed, the only thing he wanted to see was his children getting along .. This HOTD scene reminds me of my father ❤

Final tribute. To the health of my nephews: Jace, Luke and Joffrey each of them handsome, wise and strong. Come let us drain our cups to these three Strong boys.
