Songs for Pathfinder gods

Taldor

What it says on the tin.

First person

Post a song (Lyrics included would be nice)

Person below, post a god from Pathfinder god who you think the song fits and why ...

Example

Person 1: When you're Evil

Person 2: Zon Kuthon, it's about delighting in evil, the ending is the real clincher, "it get so lonely being evil" because of what he used to be, and how Dou-Bral may be somewhere down in there.

Now for real

Baby Count me out

Osirion

It's not perfect, but I was thinking Naderi, goddess of suicide, particularly romantic suicide, which is certainly one hell of a way to say "count me out!"

How about

"The Thing" By Phil Harris

Qadira

Lamashtu. NO ONE WANTS IT AND YOU'LL NEVER GET RID OF IT.

Now:

"Blow me Away" by Breaking Benjamin

Osirion

"I will stay in the mess I've made", appeals to loyalty, promises of deliverance, violence, a sort of militaristic feel but too much talk of otherworldly concerns to be Gorum... I would say Asmodeus.

how about

Bobby Darin classic "Beyond the Sea"

Qadira

I would say Shelyn. Lots of lovey-dovey lyrics, great singer, and has an airy sound to it.

Now, since everyone else seems to be showing old timey tunes, how about "Ain't That A Kick In the Head" by Dean Martin. Shown in Fallout New Vegas.

Taldor

Mmm.... this one's a tricky one. I'd say it's Dou-Bral before he became Zon-Kuthon. It's a very lovey, happy song.

Anyway

Here's mine...

He's a Tramp- Peggy Lee, Lady and The Tramp

Osirion

Uh, how about Aroden? Inspires unconditional loyalty even though he's not there....

And now for something completely different:

"Shadowdance" by Shadowfax (no lyrics, so judge based on the music itself)

Taldor

Defnitly the Old Gods, it's got that... unnatural quality and gives me a serious case of the creeps.

Okay

I can't Decide Scissor Sisters.

Osirion

Well, it's about spite and revenge, but it's too direct, assertive, and good-sounding to be Gyronna, so: It's definitely Calistria!

try
Weird Al Yankovic's timeless "Dare To Be Stupid" (forgive the ad)

Qadira

Cayden Cailean, definitely. At its heart, the song is telling you to reject all traditional wisdom and just jump in and do what's right. Does it seem stupid? Yes, but often bravery seems stupid to the frightened.

Try this one on for size:

"This Corrosion," by The Sisters of Mercy

Taldor

Lamashtu, oh gods Lamashtu. There is contradiction and chaos in those lyrics, and such venom. A few moments sent such... shivers down my spine.

Now as my revenge for those shivers, here's something heartbreaking to try on for size.

Gollum's Song
The lyrics come up soonish, just sit tight.

(I've got my bets, let's see if they're right)

Qadira

I, personally, imagine Urgathoa singing. No real reason, it just sounds right.

Speaking of Sound, not language, how about Light of Aidan - Lament

Osirion

That one's pretty easy: Pharasma - it's even called "Lament."

I would associate Gollum's Song with Gyronna, minor goddess of spite and hatred. I actually don't think self-pity is Urgathoa's thing.

Tangential, then, to both Lord of the Rings soundtrack singers (that one) and songs that force you to make a saving throw or be stunned by an overwhelming aura of The 80's ("This Corrosion") is Sweet Dreams


For some reason, that makes me think of Aroden... But I'm not skilled enough at youtubery to post a song, can't think of one. So I'll just post my opinion and move on.

Oh wait, how about Be - Gregorian cover?

Osirion

Moving in multiple senses of the word, bittersweet yet hopeful, talk of travel and dreams, etc etc...nearly every reason to think of Desna.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, then: Carrot Juice Is Murder

Taldor

The Green faith, There doesn't seem to be any other logical answer. There isn't a god of political comedy yet.

To see how crazy we can get and for some Not safe for eyes images of Ralph dancing....

Macadamia Nuts

Macadamia Nuts

PRimAl cHaOs of maelstrom. ALL PROTEANS HAil theEIR source-mother-self!

Blue Oyster Cult... Nooo, I do not suggest answer!

Qadira

Now, I can never tell the subject matter of a song unless it says so blatently. The lyrics match Gozreh, but I can't tell you what the subject's diety is.

How about Bob Dylan's Rainy Day Women 12 & 35?

Osirion

Imbrex, the First World deity of endings, statues, and twins. Put them all together and it almost makes sense - bear in mind the double meaning in "getting/being stoned."

I'm upping the ante: To whom or what do we ascribe Also Sprach Zarathustra?


I'm Hiding In Your Closet wrote:

Aroden pulling the starstone from the depths of the sea.

What about:

Prabhu Deva - Kalluri Vaanil. Nope, I don't have lyrics for that.

Qadira

Something from the vast pantheon of Vudra, probably with an elephant head and multiple arms.

Dio--The Mob Rules

Osirion

The Diabolism faith (which worships the plane of Hell itself and its structure rather than Asmodeus or any of the archdevils), naturally - don't let anyone confuse you: Mob rule is a beast of law and order in its purest state.

By the way, everyone: Merry Christmas!(brought to you by somebody, but don't mind them)

Qadira

Hehe, That one has to be Razmir. Very deceptive. ;)

Now, lets get some Duran Duran - Rio on the music box.

Osirion

The unobtainable dancing lady, and with that music? I'd say Sarenrae.

Somebody do the Monster Mash!

Shadow Lodge

Mash - Dance, Destroy
Monsters included in song are undead or something similar.

This quite simply must be Pharasma, the slayer of undead.

Flip out like a Ninja - 7 seconds of Love. Its killing me.


I'm gonna go with Sun Wukong. Emphasis on "flip."

I'm gonna throw two out there to match the split trend, one silly one serious.

Silly : She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby

Serious : Labyrinth, from Dot Hack.

Qadira

I'll jump at the silly right now and say Nethys.

The serious, though, is a little more complicated. It might be Gorrum. Strong beats are common in Techno songs, and are also common place in battlefields and drink halls. Bagpipes are also one of the most iconic musical instruments of Scottland, who are notoriously known for their big swords and love of fighting.

But on the same note, the driving motion of the song will keep you in step and will make sure you keep moving. As such, Desna, the goddess of Traveling, works as well. The sweet tone of the song also implies a womens touch, but this is subjective.

Oddly enough, Caddyn Caelyn would work as well, since the song is easy going and could easily be heard in a tavern. Imagine 10-20 people clapping to this song while drinking and cheering to understand what I'm talking about.

I for my Silly/Serious ones, here is
Safety Dance by Men Without Hats
Behold a Pale Horse by Martin O'Donnel and Michael Salvatori

Osirion

Safety Dance - "We can act like we come from out of this world, leave the real world far behind?" I think I'll give this one to The Lantern King, trickster god of the Eldest.

Behold a Pale Horse - Besmara? There's at least a part where it gets pretty pirate-shippy.

If we're doing double-features now...ok.

The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

The City of the Necromancers from Heroes of Might & Magic II: The Price of Loyalty

Qadira

Ultimate Showdown - Rovagug. Everyone tried to take him down. And succeeded~ish.

City of Necromancers - Most likely Urgathoa. Queen of the undead and all. But that song was so happy it reminded me of Shelyn.

Somebody that I Used to Know

Garden of your Mind


Somebody that I used to Know- Shoot me if you will, but I'd call it Erastil's. His way of life is being shoved out of the way, and his churches abandoned as things developed. He also seems to be the most turned-away from deity in the campaigns I've seen.

Garden of your Mind-
Chaldira Zuzaristan. Despite being a halfling goddess instead of a gnomish one, she's impetuously curious, and never afraid to ask for help. Or we could say Norgerber if we felt silly.

Silly-Urban Spaceman

Serious-Through Heaven's Eyes

Silver Crusade

Osirion

Through Heaven's Eyes - a song about the value of an individual being powerful if not obvious, strong "populist" appeal - so a good candidate for Cayden Cailean, actually.

Urban Spaceman - nihilism, nonexistence, supersonic flight...why not Groetus?

And now, ladies and gents,
onto The Theater!

To see Brian Boitano, no less!


Theatre of Magic-Nethys; I imagine magic of all sorts when I hear this, and the dual string types make me think of a schizo'd mind(though they're nicely balanced, another part of the anathema of Nethys). Also, it's in the name. XD

What would Brian Boitano Do- Cayden Caylean, again, on account of the escalating madness; I'd buy Iomedae, too, if I'd ever seen a cleric or paladin in hers without a stick up their ass (I assume its a fixture of the faith).

Okay, so...
Welcome to the Show
Music Illusion (sorry it's an amv, but at least it's a damned good one)
