Taking the Torch from Elf, Here are my lyrics. Sorry for the lateness, I missed watching the thread to see if my guess was correct, and I only guessed once so I didn't think I get it. Reamonn - Star Tell me if you got a problem Tell me if it`s in your way Tell me if there`s something bothering you Tell me what should I say You know I`d do almost anything You know I`d change the world You know I`d do almost anything for my little girl Tell me if you got a problem Tell me now what`s inside Show me if you broke your heartstrings You know you never need to hide You know I`d do almost anything You know I`d paint the sky You know I`d do almost anything for you my guiding light Cause you`re my Star shining on me now A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star, my star A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star Once upon a time a memory Once upon a time girl Once upon a time perfect life Once upon a perfect world You know I`d do almost anything for you my guiding light You know I`d do almost everything to keep you in my life Cause you`re my Star shining on me now A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star, my star A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star Just a memory Every dream is of you and me If I wish upon a star Well I hope that`s where you are When Heavens turn You know you`ll shine you`re in my heart for all time When Heaven turns you know you`ll shine in worlds apart Cause yeah you are my Star A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star, my star A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star, shining on me now A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star, my star (you are you are you are) A love from worlds apart I need for you, You are my shining star

Probably too obvious...but my first guess is 10 of Cups. Arcana

Kahlie	19 Aug 2004
Not the 10 of Cups, but I think it's a good guess. I considered it, but discarded it because I felt it didn't convey that much of a family feeling, which I do really connect with the 10 of Cups.

Dakota	19 Aug 2004
I get a real 6 of Cups feel from that...........

Kahlie	19 Aug 2004
Quote: I get a real 6 of Cups feel from that........... While I also recognised the sweet soft love feeling from the 6 of Cups, this isn't the Card I chose for this song either.

telcontar	19 Aug 2004
Well, I think you might have chosen the Knight of Swords to represent the guy singing the song ;)

Kahlie	19 Aug 2004
Quote: Well, I think you might have chosen the Knight of Swords to represent the guy singing the song Sorry, not it. I wonder how you got to the Knight of Swords. Care to eleborate?

telcontar	19 Aug 2004
Probably just some personal connection. The beginning, "Tell me if you got a problem Tell me if it`s in your way Tell me if there`s something bothering you Tell me what should I say You know I`d do almost anything You know I`d change the world You know I`d do almost anything for my little girl" made me think of a white knight and as he wants to talk about the problem... Another guess: The Hermit? For the "little" star as guiding light?

Kahlie	19 Aug 2004
A, clever telcontar... Although my knight in shining armour, wouldn't be the Knight of Swords. He's a bit too scary for me! Hermit is not correct sorry. I don't think he's looking out to find enlightment with the girl ;)

littlehermit	19 Aug 2004
how about knight of cups?

Kahlie	19 Aug 2004
Quote: how about knight of cups? While a nice knight in shining armour... not the card I picked when I listened to this song.

telcontar	20 Aug 2004
Page of Cups?

telcontar	20 Aug 2004
Well, I know, I just guessed... And it is not nice to think so about such a romantic song... But... Suddenly The Fool seemed like the one to guess... This oneminded fascination that could lead you into the abyss chasing a butterfly- or a star... :)

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004
Both incorrect, I"m sorry.

telcontar	20 Aug 2004
How about the Two of Cups?

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004
Not the 2 of Cups either. Guessed so far: Fool Hermit 2 of Cups 6 of Cups 10 of Cups Page of Cups Knight of Cups Knight of Swords

telcontar	20 Aug 2004
It might be too obvious, but I've got to try ;) The Lovers?

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004
Nope, not the Lovers, although it's a valid pick. Hint: What is the guy offering her? How many people are involved?

Eco74	20 Aug 2004
King of Coins?

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004
Valid Guess Eco, and funny because of our discussions :) But no, it's not him. Sorry I didn't PM back yet, gotta run, will do it when I come back :)

Eco74	20 Aug 2004
No problem. I can wait. :) But... how about 9 of Cups then?

telcontar	20 Aug 2004
I never saw much emotion in this card, but somehow... Could it be the Six of Coins ?

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004
Guessed so far: Fool Hermit 2 of Cups 6 of Cups 9 of Cups 10 of Cups Page of Cups Knight of Cups Knight of Swords Six of Coins/Pentacles/Disks King of Coins/Pentacles/Disks Nope, still nobody guessed it. The Wish card seems appropriate since the guy seems to be wishing for something. Hint: "What is the girl probably feeling?"

telcontar	20 Aug 2004
The High Priestess? I'm getting confused, I'm afraid. Should take a break from playing ;)

littlehermit	20 Aug 2004
well, if i were the girl i'd be feeling just a wee bit creeped out! the love this guy is offering is almost smothering, like the negative qualities of the Empress.

Eco74	20 Aug 2004
Another guess and this one is liable to be waaaaaay off. Nonetheless I even have a motivation. :) The Devil... Due to the "tell me everything, I'll do anything, you're everything" lines the guy is singing to her. Maybe just a little too focused on her and blind to himself and others. Though it may well be way off... *g*

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004
No to all three. LOL Eco! It's a good motivation for the Devil =) When I talked to the guy, I told him, well at least NOBODY will guess the devil, and there are only 78 guesses, so they must guess it eventually ;) I guess I have to tell him the Devil got guessed to, so I must be rotten at giving hints!

littlehermit	20 Aug 2004
Ok, well, this guy is obsessive and needy and needs to take on every burden for the one he loves... 10 of Wands?

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004
Quote: Ok, well, this guy is obsessive and needy and needs to take on every burden for the one he loves... 10 of Wands? Nope... Oh dear, we wandered far from the beautiful romantic cups to something darker here.... I see where you are all coming from, but nope, I"m looking for a card that would describe the relationship between them. He the helper who will do all the work, and she ????

littlehermit	20 Aug 2004
What is she feeling? Well, if she's happy about this situation, my first guess would have been 9 of Cups, but since that's already been guessed... hmm. Maybe the glorious protection and fulfilment showed in The World.

Kahlie	20 Aug 2004

Maybe the glorious protection and fulfilment showed in The World. OH, nice guess! Definatly something I hadn't considered but is also in the spirit of the song. But no, not the World either. Edited to add: Already Guessed: High Priestress Empress Fool Hermit The Devil The World 2 of Cups 6 of Cups 9 of Cups 10 of Cups Page of Cups Knight of Cups 10 of Wands Knight of Swords Six of Coins/Pentacles/Disks King of Coins/Pentacles/Disks

skh	20 Aug 2004
Queen of Cups?

BlueLotus	21 Aug 2004
It looks like to me. Is it?

Kahlie	21 Aug 2004
Both wrong. The Moon is also a very good guess!

telcontar	21 Aug 2004
Well, as you seem to focus on her... being the Knight of Cups I am, I think a Queen of Wands could make me sing something like that :P

Kahlie	21 Aug 2004
LOL.. thanks Telcontar.. and yes, somebody did once sing this for me and mean it.. and I did come up in his Reading as the Queen of Wands ;) but no... I'm looking for a Card that depicts her situation, her feelings, and him helping her.... Ok, now I pratically spelled it out I Think!

telcontar	21 Aug 2004
8 of swords?

skh	21 Aug 2004
The Sun? Sonja

Eco74	21 Aug 2004
9 of Swords!

Kahlie	21 Aug 2004
We are getting somewhere now. Still all wrong, but yes, you are getting closer!

skh	21 Aug 2004
Hm. Star? Sonja

Kahlie	21 Aug 2004
hehehe, we got all the celestial bodies now, but no, not the Star, although it's definatly a very valid guess, I decided it's to obvious with a song named Star ;) Already Guessed: High Priestress Empress Fool Hermit The Devil The Star The Moon The Sun The World 2 of Cups 6 of Cups 9 of Cups 10 of Cups Page of Cups Knight of Cups Queen of Cups 10 of Wands Queen of Wands 8 of Swords 9 of Swords Knight of Swords Six of Coins/Pentacles/Disks King of Coins/Pentacles/Disks

arcanalefait	21 Aug 2004
Ooh! Ooh! Is it the Magician? Arcana

BlueLotus	22 Aug 2004
Is it the by any chance?

Kahlie	22 Aug 2004
Both Incorrect. But I definatly see the Magician in here!

Eco74	22 Aug 2004
Hey, how about 6 of Swords? Someone 'helping her across the waters'...

Kahlie	22 Aug 2004
Yay!!!! You win Eco :D Yes, it's the 6 of Swords I picked for this Song. I saw the Robin Wood version of the 6 of Swords. A ghostly figure in the swan formed boat with a girl and 6 swords, rowing to better shores. He's helping her, no matter what, doing everything he can, while she's in a mess. Because the figure was ghostly, I got the feeling he loves her more then life, a love from worlds apart. However he also needs her, to give his "life" some purpose. This card has always reminded me of the story of the Greeks, and the ferryman Chiron? (I think, not sure about the spelling) who would ferry over the dead.

Eco74	22 Aug 2004
YAY!!! Back to the lyrics archives for me then. :) Say, did you tell your friend about the guess for the devil yet? I'm curious of the reaction... ;)

Kahlie	22 Aug 2004
He asked me if the person knew just as much of Tarot as he did ! He is still associating the Devil with bad, and not with what it means in tarot. I explained it a bit, and he did get it, but he still thought that it was a rather wild guess for this Song.

Eco74	22 Aug 2004
Well, it was from the "needy" perspective of the helper and not from the girls perspective, so that did throw the guess a little off track too I suppose. :)
