Creating beautiful celtic/historical infused music, she is inspired by many popular movies and tv shows such as Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit etc.
In her words: "I started writing and singing music as a hobby in 2010 and decided, rather bravely, to upload my stuff to YouTube for a bit of a laugh. Little did I know I'd gain such a gorgeous fan base of kindred nerds who understood and welcomed my world of music and encouraged me to make more. So that's what I've been doing. I've been happily building my little library of songs for over a decade now, still learning and loving this craft and still beaming delightedly with every new, cherished subscriber on YouTube. It's been an absolute joy and a privilege to do this full-time, and I hope to do it for many more years. Thank you so much for your kindness and support."
Let It End
Karliene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the proud Lord said
that I must bow so low
Only a cat of a different coat
that's all the truth I know
Let it end
wipe the blood from steel
let the heartsick heal
Let it end
let our children know
it's the end
Let them see no more
bloodshed

Let it end
let the feuding die
Let it end
we're so tired of this

In Karliene's song "Let It End," the lyrics start with a conversation between two characters in which one asks the other who they are and why they must bow low. The response is that the person is simply a cat of a different coat, suggesting that they are an outsider in some way. The rest of the song focuses on a plea for an end to violence and bloodshed. The chorus repeats the phrase "let it end" and emphasizes the desire for the pain and suffering to stop. The lines "the rains weep o'er this hall" and "with not a single soul to hear" suggest a sense of hopelessness and despair, as if the violence and bloodshed have left no one alive to witness it.
Overall, the song seems to be speaking to the human tendency for violence and war, and the cost of those actions. It expresses a desire for peace and healing, for children to know a better world. The repetition of "let it end" leaves the listener with a sense of urgency and a call to action to do what they can to make the world a better, more peaceful place.

This suites Catelyn's state perfectly. She was so heartbroken and numb from all the pain by Ned's death and the belief of all her children being dead. I remember when I finished reading this chapter in "A Storm of Swords" how much I was shaking and then later turned numb. All the tragedies that follow after the Red Wedding are nothing compared to that cold deceit. Nothing.

I was watching Richard during the whole scene when it went down; as a book reader you really look to see if they captured the feeling of the scene. You'll note that all this chaos is going down and he's just dying there taking Talisa's last words and then regressing into himself when she finally dies. When he got up and said nothing but "mother" you can tell he was broken, the trauma reduced him and stripped him of his pride and title and he was a boy again. A very powerful scene.

Damn it... the feels :'(
The Game of Thrones producers really need to hire you, Karliene! :)

The Lannisters think they have won, but Starks still draw breath. The Wolves have lost their father, their mother, and a brother, but the pack survives. The North always remembers.

+Marc Hindley The roar of a lion is that of a mewling kitten next to the roar of a dragon.

+Joy Cooper the dragon will be reduced to a small lizard when winter comes, where only the wolf will survive.
Lerzid Marino
+TheDarkSider What about the giants who have broken their chains , giants they call Jons . Very good in a fight , or a drinking match , Or the mermaid , the stag , or even Spear of The South and the Greenblood for which winter never reaches? Lesser Houses with Grow and Lessen , same goes for houses which are great .
Joy Cooper
TheDarkSider Dragon fire is not to be underestimated; even wolves and their winter can burn.

The scene was the sadest moment of the whole story but your song makes it even more beautiful.
