Not sure if this is a spoiler but...

Here's the angel man and the first song she's talking about:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The first song she talks about in which the lyrics are "I never wanted to be your weekend lover, I only wanted to be some kind of friend." is the song Purple Rain by Prince.
Also here is your unidentified angel man:

And I know there was a hint already to the PW and UN but...

Answer:

UN: love
PW: park

The Songs

The Songs that the 4 of Hearts mentions (in order):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Purple Rain by Prince

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Losing My Religion by R.E.M.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Now the third one is a very vague reference so there are a number of options:

1) Cute Sweet Love Addiction by Johnny Gill
A functional condition (and they call it...)
A cute sweet love addiction (coming back for more)
Unconscious repetition (I can't get enough)
A cute sweet love addiction

2) The Lazy Dog by Malvina Reynolds
Well they call it the Lazy Dog,
And they call it the Lazy Dog;
It's the name of a bomb
We use in Vietnam
And they call it the Lazy Dog.

3) Murda Murda by Juelz Santana
Out on the Street
They call it murder

4) Call it Democracy by Bruce Cockburn
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy

Of course there are more songs...

I've got my money on the first one, because he is talking about his own love addiction.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love by Van Halen?

Sorry should of said songs that relate to the question, that song was follow by "however" so I thought it was irrelevant. Sorry ^^

Hmmm...
Love Park

So I've been e-mailing 4H back and forth all day.. I think i'm on number 11 now.
and i just had a thought...

He keeps talking to me about this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1st corinthians 13 - Me
"Yes! You're close - you have to go way back in time though." -4h
"God is Love. and the bible is a great source of art, information, chaos, and especially love" -me
"there are different kinds of love, even in the Bible." -4H
"I studied biblical greek for some time... and they have a number of different words for love. I wish english had more words for love. I sometime feel it's overused and thus cheapened.
Agape - unconditional love.
Eros - Lusty love.
Philia - love like a friend.
Storge - love of family.
Thelema - love of a thing / idea; desire
God = Agape. "

Which connects to this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

the "love park" which is the username and pass on square 5 is located in Philladeliphia, which is rooted in the greek word Philia.

Which could:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Answer his question. Possible. If he's asking "What is this love" as in what kindof love is this, could the answer be phileo?

I'm waiting on his response to this.

myspace messages

I know other people have been myspace messaged by 4H but I am the first to post about it, I am interested to find if we all got the same message.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I received the image from the page VET. I was confused by this page from the beginning and was frustrated when that is the page he appeared to want me to look into. I found that vet had a definition I was unaware of, to appraise, verify, or check for accuracy, authenticity, validity, etc. This combined with the idea that he is leading Melody down a path of looking into ancient words and definitions of love, I came to the idea of pragma or pragmatic love--a love based on rational thought.

"Widening your horizon can be an act of courage that pays off down the road." (a quote from the horoscope for 4H's sign).

4H said that the first two songs were not about love. The third is a kind of love. Try googling "And they call it" and "love" I received and email from 4H that my answer was ok.

I sent an email a few minutes ago...nothing back yet, but I spent the day googling lyrics and such. I had a few ideas, but theres quite a few different options, depending on how far you go back. Sometimes I have a hard time going with what may be the most obvious -.- egh.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

My guess was Puppy Love...though there was a rather catchy Lionel Ritchie song...:p....and it would sort of fit in with the vet reference...if its as simple as I'm assuming. Probably not. Maybe. -headondesk-

Argh! -.- I don't know. Everyones doing so much research...I'm taking a completely different view of this... Possibly a simplistic view at that, but somewhere in my head it makes sense.

4H

It's my understanding that 4H has been curt and almost rude to a number of other passengers, but I've found that to not be the case with me. I guess I'm just lucky.

Anyhow.. he's definitely confirmed that we are supposed to choose the greek word for love that best fits the kind of love on his page... and I am fairly sure that my answer [see previous post] is correct... But 4H has a habit of changing the subject if I, or any of my friends, mention it.

Odd.
