"Mama Voodoo' grew quickly from a single riff, which remained the main musical thread throughout the song. It was almost as if the song chose its own lyrical content, as themes of traditional practices seemed to be the only thoughts I had while listening to the music. From palm reading to tarot cards, crystal balls to ayahuasca ceremonies, the song tells a story of a spiritual journey of enlightenment through various paths people have chosen over the years. The mayhem of the journey ends in tranquillity and peace, evoking the feeling of being immersed in the gentle rolling of a river’s water. These themes fascinate me, as they divide so many people ... some fear such practices, while others rely on them to find peace and positive influence in their lives. The song is more about the latter audience.
