Yes they did.
IDK exactly how much involvement he had in it and the spoiler track, but based on Sunday's premiere and the last Season of GoT, Ramin Djawaldi has established himself as a fucking elite composer for TV.
This might be Q but I'm not going back through this thread to find out. I recently learned, much to my surprise, that Whitney Houston's "I will Always Love You" is a remake of a song originally done by Dolly Parton. :-)
And then, double shock -- this song was written by Dolly about her relationship with Porter Wagner. Her PLATONIC relationship with her mentor, after she decided to go solo. :-):-)

Dolly Parton is an intelligent, creative, talented, beautiful, loving, kind, wonderful woman who never got as much credit as she deserved. [Reply]

Speaking of "Black Hole Sun," I used to have this sample CD that had a lounge cover of it....I always thought it was pretty cool. It's by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.

It is crazy how many times that song has been covered.
"Black Hole Sun" has been covered by numerous artists. Lo-fi pioneer R. Stevie Moore recorded a homemade version in 1994. An instrumental version of the song by The Moog Cookbook appears on the band's 1995 debut album The Moog Cookbook, performed entirely using vintage analog synthesizers. Cibo Matto covered the song in French on their self-titled debut 1995 EP release. Another one of the first cover recordings was a jazz version by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé on the 1997 compilation album Lounge-A-Palooza. Former Hugo Largo vocalist Mimi Goese covered the song on her 1998 solo album Soak. The singer Paul Anka gave "Black Hole Sun" a swing treatment on his 2005 album Rock Swings. A cover was also done by the band Copeland which was featured on the 2006 compilation album Punk Goes '90s. Peter Frampton covered "Black Hole Sun" on his 2006 instrumental album Fingerprints, joined on the track by Pearl Jam/Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready. In 2008, the Brad Mehldau Trio released "Black Hole Sun" on the Brad Mehldau Trio Live album (recorded in late 2006), working the song's verse and chorus melodies into a 23 minute long extemporaneous jazz piece.[30] The strings group The Section Quartet covered the song on its 2007 album Fuzzbox. In 2009, English alternative rock band Fightstar posted an acoustic cover of the song on its Facebook account.[31] In 2010, the band VersaEmerge covered an acoustic version of "Black Hole Sun" for Revolver Magazine.[32] Grace Potter and the Nocturnals began covering the song on their 2012 tour.
