Your fave "Game of Thrones" characters' personal anthems

Everyone needs a personal anthem. You know, that one song that speaks your truth, psychs you up and prepares you to take on the world. And when the night is dark and full of terrors, and you're about to head into the most epic battle of your life, that need is more urgent than ever. So in honor of our favorite Game of Thrones characters ready to make a stand at Winterfell (and a few waiting it out in King's Landing), here are the personal anthems for all the surviving (for now) characters.

Daenerys Targaryen - "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys
​
They don't call her "The Unburnt" for nothing. The Dragon Queen has walked through fire more than once - but will she be able to survive the icy shade the Night King is about throw her way?
​

Jon Snow - "Let It Go" from ​Frozen
​
The King in the North really let it go last week - "it" being the true nature of his lineage. And if he survives the Battle of Winterfell and has to confess his secret to the surviving Starks and northerners, he's definitely going to need some of Elsa's "I don't care what they're going to say" attitude.
​

Tyrion Lannister - "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere" by Alan Jackson ft. Jimmy Buffet
​
True, Tyrion's been much less of a lush since he escaped from Westeros and became Dany's Hand, but anyone who's personal motto is "I drink and I know things" is still, in his heart, always searching for happy hour.
​

Cersai Lannister - "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge

The Mother of Madness has used her love of her family and children as the justification for some pretty heinous acts, so she would certainly appreciate the message of this disco classic.
​

Jaime Lannister - "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line

As he said last week, he would do it all again...
​

Sansa Stark - "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera

Perhaps moreso than any other character, Sansa has managed to not only overcome years of abuse and manipulation, but learn from those experiences to become a fierce, intelligent and strong leader. Xtina would be proud.
​

Bran Stark - "Blackbird" by The Beatles

"You will never walk again...but you will fly..."
​

Arya Stark - "My Friends" from Sweeney Todd

Arya has quite a bit in common with the Demon Barber of Fleet Street...both are motivated by a single-minded pursuit of revenge; both were separated from their deadly but precious weapons, and both like to exact their revenge by slitting their enemies' throats and occasionally baking them into pies. 
​

​Theon Greyjoy - "Waterfalls" by TLC

Aside from the obvious aquatic reference, Theon's troubles really began when he went chasing waterfalls - er, should I say, Winterfell? - and took on more than he could handle. 
​

Yara Greyjoy - "Woman" by Kesha

Admit it, if Yara's ship Black Wind had a sound system, she would totally be sailing around the Narrow Sea blasting this jam 24/7.

Euron Greyjoy - "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon

"The most arrogant man" Cersai Lannister ever met would surely think this song is about him.
​

Jorah Mormont - "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston

Poor Jorah - his love for his Khaleesi is pure, eternal - and pretty much doomed to be forever unrequited.
​

Lyanna Mormont - "Run the World (Girls)" by Beyonce

Just like how, in this realm, it's Beyonce's world and we all just live in it, in Westeros, it doesn't matter who ends up on the Iron Throne - Lyanna's the bite-sized bad-ass who runs shit.

Brienne of Tarth - "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha

An epic warrior deserves an equally epic anthem. For Brienne, being a knight of the Seven Kingdoms is no longer an impossible dream, and we're all still feeling all the feelings about it.
​

Tormund Giantsbane - "Fat-Bottomed Girls" by Queen

Tormund is many things - a wildling, a deadly fighter, a giant teat-suckler - but what really won us over was his unabashed affection for "The Big Woman." Luckily, Freddie Mercury understands.
​

Varys - "Survivor" by Destiny's Child

The Master of Whispers has been one of Game of Thrones' ultimate survivors, outlasting nearly every other Small Council member in the show's run. That may change during the Battle of Winterfell, where he will be in the 100% safe Winterfell crypts, but for now, he's not gonna give up!
​

Sam Tarly - "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd

Beyond just being another brick in the Wall (get it?), everyone's favorite bookworm proved that he wouldn't let the maesters of the Citadel control his thoughts. I don't know if you heard, but when he bailed Oldtown, he stole some books. Scandalous!
​

Gilly - "Stand By Your Man" by Tammy Wynette

Despite Sam's best efforts to take credit for Gilly's discovery of Jon Snow's legitimate birth, it's unlikely that the girl who followed Sam throughout the Seven Kingdoms and named her son for him would turn on him after all this time. 
​

Davos Seaworth - "Come Sail Away" by Styx

It's unknown if the Onion Knight will ever see the sea again, but let's take a moment to remember that, in addition to having a wife, everyone's favorite gruff-but-kindly uncle was once a formidable smuggler and captain. 

The Hound - "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley

I mean, obviously.
​

Melisandre - "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles

Also, duh. 
​

Missandei - "You've Got a Friend" by Carole King

In a show so full of betrayals and changing allegiances, it's easy to overlook the relationships built on trust and loyalty. Missandei has been a constant friend and advisor to Daenerys since Season 3, and despite some left-field, eleventh-hour fan theories, I for one hope she stays true to the bitter end.
​

Grey Worm - "Freedom! '90" by George Michael

Being bought - and then freed - by Daenerys was a defining moment in the life of our favorite Unsullied soldier. His gratitude has led him to another defining moment - defending the Seven Kingdoms from the Army of the Dead.

Podrick Payne - "Whatta Man" by Salt 'N' Pepa

Seriously, though, what did he do to those prostitutes in King's Landing?
​

Gendry - "All At Sea" by Jaime Cullum

With his exact role in the Great War still unclear (did we seriously just bring him back to forge dragonglass weapons and deflower Arya?), let us pay homage to the most memorable thing about Gendry - that he presumably spent three seasons just rowing around Westeros. 
​

Beric Dondarrion - "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence

Now that his buddy Thoros of Myr is gone, our favorite Brother needs to find someone else to bring him back to life - and soon.

Bronn - "Bitch Better Have My Money" by Rihanna

Money's been Bronn's motivating force since Season One - but will it really lead him to betray the only people he has that resemble friends?
​

Qyburn - "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett

Admit it - you can picture the world's creepiest maester jamming out to this in his laboratory.
​

The Night King - "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice

He DID get everyone to stop, collaborate and listen...
