Soundtrack!
Here is the soundtrack to the Major Arcana of Tarot. I blame Jess for this completely.
Realize also that these songs came out of my iTunes and are not just random. I tried to look at the meaning, the lyrics, and the over all mood/tone of the song to match with its card.
0- The Fool (childlike, naïve, hounded by reality) -
I Just Can’t Wait To Be King- The Xtension Chords
No one saying see here Now see here!
Free to run around all day That's definitely out--
Free to do it all my way!
1- The Magician (personal power, eternity of spirit, creativity, linking heaven and earth)-
Lightning Crashes - Live
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.
2- The High Priestess (contemplation, inner voice, intuition, unconscious knowledge)-
The CameraEye- Billy Corgan
listen, listen…
this is the name I cannot speak
this is the flame I dare not douse
3- The Empress (mother, sexuality, beauty, female power)-
Dandelion- Antje Duvekot
I am the Northern Lights, I am invisible
I am a dandelion, I am forever wild
4- The Emperor (father, structured, tradition, leadership)-
Satellite- Collective Soul
And I will be your side
And I will be your might
And I will watch over you like a satellite
5- The Hierophant (education, conservative, belief, morals, following the rules) -
Fun and Games- Didley Squat
Raise your hand for the opposite sex
bring it back down for the biblical text
6- The Lovers (connection, union, passion, choices)-
Closer- Jem
Rhythmic motion Raw emotion
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations Hot temptations
Coming over you
7- The Chariot (will power, conquest, hard control, honor, journey) -
Mayan Pilot- Splashdown
Be brave, be brave
A Mayan Pilot needs no aeroplane, Be brave
Yeah, I refuse to fade into the grey of something trite
8- Strength (patience, self control, moderation, kind,)-
Black horse and a Cherry Tree- KT Tunstall
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
9- The Hermit (introspection, solitude, reflection)-
The Valleys- Electrelane
Yet, through stunning battle storms,
All the while I watch the spark
Lit to guide me; for I know
Dreams will triumph, though the dark
Scowls above me where I go.
10- The Wheel of Fortune (chance, changes, fate) -
Karma Slave - Splashdown
Who's at the center of the Wheel
The inventor of the Wheel
or another spinning servant
I'm the Master of my Wheel of my very own Wheel
Universal and recurrent
11- Justice (rational, impartial, analysis)-
Aerials - System of a Down
And we are the ones that want to choose,
always want to play,
but you never want to lose.
Aerials, in the sky,
when you lose small mind,
you free your life.
12- The Hanged Man (waiting, sacrifice, letting go)-
Colorblind- Counting Crows
I am ready
I am...fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
13- Death (deep change, loss, goodbyes, to a new state)-
Hurt- Johnny Cash
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
14- Temperance (balance, healing, opposites together)-
Big Blue Sea- Bob Schneider
Just you and me at the bottom of the big blue sea
15- The Devil (materialism, temptation, lust, obsession)-
El Tango de Roxanne- Moulin Rouge
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand
16- The Tower (chaos, downfall, hard times)-
Angels/Losing/Sleep- Our Lady Peace
Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Now you're afraid of yourself
Over your shoulder you have to watch
Heaven fall into hell
17- The Star (hope, faith, peace, calm)-
Wishing On a Star- Mirion Stockley
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
18- The Moon (doubt, deception, confusion, illusion)-
Trust in me - Siouxsie & the Banshees
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
20- The Sun (radiant, innocent, energy, happiness)-
Come On Get Higher- Matt Nathanson
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works when you're on
21- Judgment (rebirth, forgiveness, salvation)-
Wayfaring Stranger- Johnny Cash
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their virgils keep
22- The World (fulfillment, content, whole, the end)-
Under Heaven’s Skies- Collective Soul
Yeah, you fly me through your skies of harmony
when you lay me down with words of honesty
yeah, you're beautiful
You're beautiful here with me
