I’ve been watching the show Vikings a lot recently and I thought I would share something interesting. The song My Mother Told Me was featured in both Assassin’s Creed and Vikings. It was not originally a song, however. It was a poem. However, it has been turned into a song. This is the version actually sung in old Norse.

And if you’re curious about a bit more information as well as the translation of this, here is a man named Jackson Crawford who specializes in Old Norse history. He explains the story behind My Mother Told me and it is fascinating.

Voiceplay Visuals: My Mother Told Me

This video was released on the 24th of April, 2021, and currently sits at a very-impressive 6.7 million views! It features Jose Rosario Jr (in his first collabration with Voiceplay (on a full-length video at least)), who for a few years performed with Rockapella! (Rockapella is an acapella group who have been around for over 35 years, they were part of the OG Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego show, and they were a bit of an inspiration to Voiceplay (originally 4:2:Five) in their early days).

I wasn't actually sure whether or not this video would give me a lot of moments to point out/talk about (it's been a while since the last time I watched it), but it's obviously a big production (epic, even), and I will undoubtedly be talking about its "sister video", Valhalla Calling, when I eventually get around to it, so long story short, I'm doing this. Let's go!

Each vocalist got filmed separately for this one, each with their own backdrop (and then were all spliced together for "group shots" in the video), so each member gets their own picture when I'm talking about them in this post!

Jose is wearing some textured blanket-looking thing, plus a plain brown shirt/tunic, and he's got a pair of blueish lines on his face that almost look a little bit like scars. He's standing in front of a sort of desert plains landscape, maybe with some large red mountains/rock formations?

Oh yeah and also it's a little hard to see, but just at the neckline of Jose's shirt, underneath his beard, there's a cool viking(?) symbol on his neck that also shows up in Valhalla Calling (and on the merch for that video too)!

Eli appears to have a bit of dirt and grime on his skin (which would be intentional of course), as well as some cool-looking tattoos (even on his head!) (fake ones for the video of course), and some very heavy eye makeup. He's standing in front of some grass, rocky cliffs (possibly with water down below?), and sea mist

(Also Eli is credited with "virtual production" on this one, so I guess all these greenscreen backgrounds were his doing? Massive shoutout to Eli!)

J has the same symbol on his forehead that Jose had on his neck/chest, as well as some white powder-looking makeup stuff on his cheeks. No clue what kind of top/shirt that is, but I like the big fur coat, and cool arm cuff things as well! He's standing in front of a frozen (or partially-frozen) lake, with snow-covered mountains/rock formations behind it.

(Fun fact: Geoff re-used a few costume pieces from My Mother Told Me when filming the videos for his covers of Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold and I See Fire!

Layne has got a makeup design to Eli, with similiar tattoos on his face, and a bit of extra dirt/grime as well. He's got fur trimmings(?) on his shoulders like Eli, but it looks more like the fur that J is wearing. He's standing in front of wide open plains I guess? I'm not sure, I can't make out a ton of detail.

I think Layne's outfit might be my favourite one of this video; it seems the most complex, like it has the most going on with it, and I like the patterned cuff design thing on his right arm!

And I haven't forgotten Geoff, of course I haven't forgotten Geoff, and seriously oh my god

I'm honestly not sure if I could give a good description of Geoff's outfit even if I tried, but it works! (Also wait I literally only just realised that, once more, he's the only one in the video with exposed shoulders (well, one exposed shoulder, but still!))

This honestly might be one of Geoff's most terrifying looks of any Voiceplay video so far, if not the most terrifying. Vampire!Geoff in This Is Halloween was "scary" in the "yes please give me more of it" (i.e. hot) way. Oogie Boogie!Geoff in Oogie Boogie's Song was just theatrical and entertaining. Mr Hyde!Geoff in Kidnap The Sandy Claws was (to me at least) just a little bit strange and hard to wrap my head around. But Geoff here? This is "makes you want to move very quickly in the opposite direction" scary!

(So like well done to Rick Underwood on the makeup (but in regards to everyone else as well))

Jose, J, Eli, and Layne all got cool aesthetic landscapes as their backdrops. Geoff got darkness and STUFF ON FIRE (...yeah that checks out 😆)

Even the fingernails!!! Even the fingernails look like they've got grime on them! (Also, Geoff at his least-terrifying moment of the video)

Aaaand we're back to "time to run away very fast" mode!

(Also yes Geoff's tattoos and makeup are very cool as well)

Not that Geoff is the only one in this video that I wouldn't wanna pick a fight with!

Jose is credited with "additional acting direction" in the description, so I guess he maybe camw up with/directed some of these kind of moves?

Oh hey Geoff has that symbol on him as well! I wonder if Layne and Eli have got it somewhere on them too?

Wait hang on what is Eli holding?

A better shot of Layne's face tattoos and the cool sleeve thing!

Geoff doing a similar hand movement to the one he did in Bang! (which was my previous post actually), after he had just done a bit of an impressive bass-vocal-run (or something like that), except this time it's after holding a quite low note (a subharmonic I think?) for like 6 seconds.

Oh I think Eli was holding his cape?

Yes I can see the tattoo, thank you Jose! 😂

Also did Geoff do a bit of hair colouration for this video? Because yes he's got a bit of grey in his hair now, but not that much grey, and it's not always that noticeable (though personally I do love the grey streak he often has in his bangs, it's rather fetching if I do say so myself <3)

Run fast, and run far!

And that's the video! Man, can you believe these are the same dudes (well except Jose) that did the Aca Top 10 videos, being all silly and fooling around? Acting skills were freaking on point here! Everyone crushed it!

It's a great arrangement as well (shoutout to Layne!). The song is actually just one single verse, which here is sung like 5 or 6 times over, but you barely even notice it (if at all) because the whole production is just so mind-blowingly good!

I also wanted to do this video because I'll be skipping over You're My Best Friend and Man In The Mirror, so this'll be the last video I'm doing where J is actually a part of the group. It was of course very sad that he left Voiceplay, but he's come back as a guest artist in like 6 full-length videos now (not even counting the minis), and hopefully he might one day return to Voiceplay full-time, once he's done with his stint in the US Navy band!

It's a perfect Sunday afternoon.

'My mother told me' is playing softly on a speaker. I'm laying on my stomach on my bed and reading fan-fiction, having just consumed way too much pie. All three of my cats have decided to join me and are napping next to me on my bed. Fan-fic Izuku Midoria just punched fan-fic All-Might in the face and broke his nose.

It's a perfect Sunday afternoon.

#Sunday afternoon #pie #cats #fanfic #fannon deku #ive got multiple bones to pick with all might and the longer the story goes the more bones i add to the pile #its a dadzawa fic #my mother told me #afternoon naps

wait, nevermind, I forgot the most important prompt ask. please, pick a prompt from any of the ask games and write for whatever character you so desire. whatever catches your eye. ;) 💕

Thank you so much for all these prompts, and especially for the freedom and trust you've put into this one - I hope you'll be happy to learn I have decided to make a treat for you with it :^) I don't know, I thought you deserved a win and some old people sappiness 💗

Found Family Prompts

I want to grow old with you.

"Pierrot came to speak with me today, did he tell you?"

"Did he?" Leona muses, distractedly, pulling at the thread in her hand to finish the last stitch. "What did he want to talk about?"

They're both sitting on Marco's living room couch, him fiddling with the remote, her patching up a hole in one of the boys' shirts - she's not sure whose, at this point. It's like both of them spend most of their week running headfirst into thorn bushes, honestly, and their pieces of clothing make the rounds at a speed she can't hope to keep up with.

If Leona were a couple decades younger she'd make herself more comfortable in that spot, huddling against the man's side and tucking her feet under her body, but she fears her spine would never forgive her if she did, so she makes do with leaning her head on Marco's shoulder as he replies, amusement in his voice: "He wanted advice about charming girls. He's going after one, I believe-"

"Yes, yes, young Olympia, I've heard all about her," she scoffs, and then, as she grasps the full meaning of his words: "And he came to ask you for help? Really?"

"Now, don't sound so surprised," Marco grumbles, with a mock-gruff voice that makes her laugh out loud. "I didn't do so bad for myself, did I? I got the most beautiful woman in town."

"Yes, and you've taught my son all about how to be a shameless flatterer, I bet."

"He's a fast learner, I'll admit." He goes quiet for a second, his free hand stroking her hair, then, much lower than he spoke before: "Do you mind? That he asked me, and not you?"

Leona shoots him a puzzled glance, her brows knitted together. "What? Marco, my love, why would I mind?"

"You're his mother. You're the one he should be in confidence with."

"But I'm not a man, which is what he needed today, from the looks of it." She abandons her needlework to put a comforting hand on his leg. "And besides, look. I want to grow old with you, so-"

A guffaw escapes his lips, jostling her somewhat. "Our children would call us old already, Leona, don't you think?"

Leona sighs, but it's fond, not at all as tired as she pretends to be. "Because they're little fools, just like we were at their age. May I continue?"

"Go on, go on, don't let me interrupt you."

"As I was saying- I do mean it, dear. I want us to be a family, all four of us. I want you and me to still be together when we're wrinkly like prunes and I can't see my stitches anymore. That comes with knowing my boy can talk to you, and yours can talk to me, and- and I'm not unhappy with it, really. They need us both, and we love them both. Is that such a bad thing?"

"No, it's not." Marco presses a soft kiss to her temple, and Leona fancies she can feel his smile in it. "You're so wise, did you know? I don't know how I managed to- to pull you, to use Pierrot's words."

"Oh, gods, did he really say that? What did you tell him?"

"That it was my endless charm that attracted you, of course."

"Flatterer and untruthful, then. You know what, I've changed my mind- I don't want those boys near you any longer, you scoundrel. You're a bad influence on them."

"Oh, how the tables have turned. I'm sure Lampwick will be happy to hear you say that, my heart."

#bewilderedmoth #ask meme #fanfic #thousand problems verse #my mother told me #❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#I know leona is special for you so I hope you liked this one #I am beyond grateful to you tbh so jot that down
