So i heard this song a while back about a crazy mom and pop duo that live up on a mountain. The song is pretty jammin but what i can never seem to shake is how much it gets me thinking about playing game!! The two characters in the song aren't described completely but I'm feeling a bit inspired and I think i want to make them into pathfinder people. I looked at most of Trevor Hall's other music to see any other references to this mother. This is what I found so far.
My Mama rides a lion
My Dad wears ashes and snakes
My Mama is a warrior
She kills demons in Her play
My Daddy has the power
And He likes Her this way
I call them day and night
I never leave their sight
Singing Om Shakti Om Shakti Om
My Mama lets Her hair hang loose
My Dad likes to sit still
Watching Mama scream and dance gives Him such a thrill
My Mama drinks from a skull cup
You got any demons
She'll sip them up
They live up on the mountain
They're the Eternal Fountain
Om Shakti Om Shakti Om
My Mama and my Dad
They are mad
They are mad
Singin Om Shakti Om Shakti Om
She who rides the lion
Rides my beating heart
Darker than my darkness
And brighter than my spark
Takes all of my troubles
Throws them in Her flames
All my pain and pleasure
Everything's the same
My Mama is a great dark cloud
Coming coming to rain down
She who is my Mama
Also is the queen
Swallows up my nightmares
And wakes me from this dream
Cuts me from this bondage
With her great big sword
She's my brother
She's my sister
My father and my lord
My Mama is a great dark cloud
Coming coming to rain down
My Mama Mama dance around
Shaking all the mountain's ground
My Mama is a great dark cloud
Coming coming to rain down
So many gods but no love for the people
My mama told me that we're all made equal
What are we fighting for?
Why are we still at war?
Where's the love? Where's the love?
So many prayers but where's the prayer for peace?
My papa told me that we all must serve and feed?
What are we fighting for?
Why are we still at war?
Where's the love? Where's the love?
[Verse 1]
Well mamma I can hear
Your calling through the storm
I can hear you sing even though my heart is torn
Well I know that I have done you wrong ah yeah
I've been away for way too long ay yeah
Well mama I return, return to your arms
Your grace upon my head I know I shall survive yeah (I shall survive)
Cast away all fear I look into your eyes
Cleanse my heart and cleanse my hands ay yeah
Help me be a good good man ay yeah
Forever I am yours forever you are mine
[Chorus]
So I say return you to the heart return you here again
I leave it all to you my eternal friend
Without you I shall break
But with you I shall bend
As it is a burn it shall be below
Symbol of the heart and forgiving of the soul
I'm coming back to you I'm coming on my on
I'm coming all alone
[Verse 2]
Ambay ambay ambay ambay
Mama can it be that your a golden god (a golden god)
Cultivate and see it's in your own front yard
I no I've been running away ay yeah
But now I'm here to stay ay yeah
Place me in your fire
So what I've got so far is as follows for mom and pop
Rides a Lion, that should be easy
She's a warrior so im thinking some form of barbarian, however she is also referred to as a storm so perhaps a rage prophet with storm domain? I don't know if there is anything good for curses that the song calls out.
She drinks demons from a skull cup. This is obviously referencing liquor but i choose to see it is some strange form of a current magical item. The one that lets you trap outsiders, iron flask or something. This one lets you drink them for good times. She is also said to fight demons so this makes sense i think.
Shes got a big sword, that should be easy too.
She likes to scream and dance. all of these point moreso at barbarian. If possible it would be sweet to incorporate the dancing into the fighting.
So right now I'm thinking some form of Rage Prophet, she needs ranks in dance, and climb because she lives on a mountain.
He wears ashes and snakes. This points to druid or witch like whoa.
He talks about feeding the world in one song so this points again to druid with plant domain perhaps. Ranks in profession farmer.
He's got the "power" i view this as hes a spellcaster so all pointing to druid right now.
He likes to sit still, not sure how to incorporate this but there must be something mechanical we can do with this.
I'm leaning heavy on druid as this also solves the Lion mount for Mama.
So there is definitely more in the songs that is inspiring. Sorry for the fairly disorganized ideas. If you see anything in the songs that should be included and I missed please speak up. If you have any mechanical advice or suggestions please don't hesitate to reply. If you really like Trevor Hall come on in and say so. Give me some help if you wish. I'll make sure to post them here when I get a bit further inot development. THANKS!!
