[Intro: Slow, crying electric blues guitar solo. Very dry. Deep silence between notes. Pin-point 3D imaging] [Verse 1 - Leah: Deep, Raspy African-American Contralto - Heavy Blues] Morning came, and you saw my face. (Leah): "וַיְהִי בַבֹּקֶר, וְהִנֵּה-לֵאָה" You felt the sting, you felt the cold disgrace. (Leah): I gave you Reuben, I gave you my years. (Leah): But you’re still thirsty for my sister’s tears. וַיַּרְא ה' כִּי שְׂנוּאָה לֵאָה... The Lord saw I was hated, the Lord saw I was low. Why you won't love me, Jacob? I got nowhere to go. [Verse 2 - Jacob & Rachel Dialogue] (Jacob - Deep Gritty Baritone): Laban lied to me, Leah! My heart was sold! (Rachel - High Thin Soprano): (Crying) It was my wedding night! It was my gold! (Leah): "הַמְעַט קַחְתֵּךְ אֶת-אִישִׁי?!" (Leah): You took my husband, now you want my child’s flower? (Rachel): I got no sons, Leah! I got no power! [Chorus - Heavy Slow Blues Climax] (Leah - Deep/Gospel): I’M THE MOTHER OF NATIONS! (עַתָּה הַפַּעַם יִלָּוֶה אִישִׁי אֵלַי) (Jacob - Deep): (My soul is weary, the burden is great) (Rachel - High): (I am the beloved... trapped in this fate) (Leah): Look at Judah! Look at Levi! Look at me! (Leah): I’m the only truth you’re ever gonna see. [Bridge: Stripped back Blues. Only a tight, dry Bass and a weeping Slide Guitar. No mud. Massive soundstage depth] [Outro - Final Confrontation] (Jacob): וַיִּקְבֹּר אֶת-לֵאָה... (Leah): In the end, Jacob... she gets the road, and I get the cave. (Leah): You’ll lie down with the one you didn't crave. (Leah): "הַפַּעַם אוֹדֶה אֶת-ה'". [Final sound: A sharp, lonely blues guitar string pluck. Dead silence]
