“For hands of gold are always cold, but a woman’s hands are warm,” Sheeran’s character sings as he sits by the fireside with a group of soldiers. The group has stopped to eat before they continue their journey to The Riverlands. Arya then tells him that she loved the song. “It’s a pretty song. I’ve never heard it before,” she says.

“It’s a new one,” Sheeran’s character tells her.

In June, the “Thinking Out Loud” crooner spoke with Entertainment Tonight about his cameo in “Game of Thrones” Season 7 at the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 48th Annual Induction and Awards Gala. The singer admitted that he hasn’t seen his scene yet and added that his character “has been build up too much.”

“I haven’t seen it yet! I just know the scene I did, I did with Maisie [Williams], and it’s decent. I like it,” Sheeran told ET. “Nothing exciting happens in this scene, we just have a conversation and that’s kind of it. People will just be like, ‘Oh... oh, all right.’ It’s not an integral part of it, at all. I’m just like, in it.”

Aside from teasing his role in the hit HBO TV series, the “Castle on the Hill” singer recalled his experience filming on the set of “Game of Thrones.” According to Sheeran, he forgot to dress properly for the condition. They filmed his scene during the winter, but he forgot to wear the right socks. “I didn’t put on my thermal socks and I was outside in the winter in England for about 10 hours,” he shared. “So it was cold.”

In other news, Sheeran earlier addressed the accusations that he did not play live for his performance at the Glastonbury Festival on social media. “Never thought I’d have to explain it, but everything I do in my live show is live, it’s a loop station, not a backing track. Please google x,” he wrote on Twitter.
