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
|
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.
|
|
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
|
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)
|
|
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.
|

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)
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:

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)
|
|
I, personally, imagine Urgathoa singing. No real reason, it just sounds right.
Speaking of Sound, not language, how about Light of Aidan - Lament
|
|
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?

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
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....
PRimAl cHaOs of . ALL PROTEANS HAil theEIR -mother-self!
Blue Oyster Cult... Nooo, I do not suggest answer!
|
|
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?

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 upping the ante: To whom or what do we ascribe Also Sprach Zarathustra?
Aroden pulling the starstone from the depths of the sea.
What about:
Prabhu Deva - Kalluri Vaanil. Nope, I don't have lyrics for that.
What about:Prabhu Deva - Kalluri Vaanil. Nope, I don't have lyrics for that.
Something from the vast pantheon of Vudra, probably with an elephant head and multiple arms.

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)
|
|
Hehe, That one has to be Razmir. Very deceptive. ;)
Now, lets get some Duran Duran - Rio on the music box.
|
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.
|
|
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
|
|
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
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
|
|
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!
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)

Music Illusion (sorry it's an amv, but at least it's a damned good one)
GROETUS ENDED EVERYTHING!!!!!
In every ending, there is a new beginning....
So. Who gets the Phantom of the Opera Overture?
Nethys. Definitely Nethys. An impassive face like a mask, cool, calm, seemingly balanced, but hiding the frantic madness underneath.
So: how about Evanescence, My Immortal?
|

Pretentious, decadent aristocracy singing (I think) about sex? That would be the Archdevil Belial, if I'm not mistaken.
This could be a challenget: The Internationale.
|
|
It's fiendish, it's violent, it's industrial, "it's the end of the line" - it's Szuriel, The Horseman of War.
It's: The Liberty Bell March!
|
|
Pensive, stark, repetitive but also with an occasional "surprise" moment, and kind of mournful - I'd give this to The Lost Prince, Eldest god of forgotten things, sadness, and solitude.
Who's up for Night On Bald Mountain?
Hmmm. From the title - Lilium and the general tenor of the piece (I couldn't understand the words), I'd say the Green Faith, a lament for a place which has been lost.
What about Enya: The River Sings?
|
|
How about Pharasma? Pretty, but ominous and with a final quality (the "river" bit serves her too).
Stairway To Heaven. Dinner is served.
|
|
Mars, The Bringer of War - for a proper challenge, think of someone who is NOT a "war god" and make a correlation that is NOT about "war!"
|
Groetus. I can tell this just from the intro, bringing you in, closer and closer to the thing you dread, not ending.
The song that made me re-necro this thread, Miracle of Sound-Distant Honor.
|
|
Taking up a mask and blade to fight for the oppressed - sounds enough like Milani to me.
Venus, The Bringer of Peace - as above, the challenge is to think of someone who is NOT specifically a deity of peace and/or love and make a correlation based on some other trait linking song to deity.
|
|
I'll go with Desna - interpret the "bells" they mention early on as stars, and the rest of the song (or at least the chorus) sounds a fair amount like how a typical mortal might react if She suddenly tried to take them on some flight on through the cosmos.
Mercury, The Winged Messenger - same stipulation as before: think of, and make a correlation based on, something other than the "winged messenger" schtick.
