+ Show full styles

[Intro] [Warm, soft frame drum heartbeat and subtle ceramic darbuka pulse] [Deep upright bass enters with the heavy, hypnotic 2-bar groove] [Cello plays a low, rhythmic ostinato; acoustic oud adds delicate off-beat plucks] [Lead Voice - Ultra-deep, dry, close-mic male spoken monologue, intimate and calm]: Set me as a seal upon your heart... as a seal upon your arm... for love is as strong as death. [Verse 1 - The Garden & The Scent / Spoken Word] [Bass groove and rhythmic cello roll steadily, soft drum pulse, warm desert ambiance] [Lead Voice - Deep, sensual, measured baritone]: Awake, north wind... and come, south wind. Blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Your lips drop sweetness like the honeycomb, honey and milk are under your tongue. The scent of your garments is like the fragrance of ancient cedars. You have ravished my heart, my bride. [Chorus - The Cello Riff & The Eternal Flame] [Bass riff hits with full low weight, cello digs into the gritty strings] [Female Backing Voice - Ethereal, sensual sustained vocalise, pure and warm]: Ahhhhh... Ooooooh... [Lead Voice - Deep spoken counterpoint over the heavy groove]: Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. A thousand years of silence, yet the flame burns unbroken through the night. [Instrumental Break - The Pure Bass, Cello & Oud Groove] [Drums, deep bassline, and rhythmic cello carry the heavy head-nod riff alone] [Acoustic oud weaves a subtle, elegant melody across the groove] [Verse 2 - The Night & The Beloved / Spoken Word] [Groove continues with hypnotic stability, soft frame drum brushing] [Lead Voice - Extremely close to the microphone, tender whisper-talk]: By night upon my bed I sought the one my soul loves. I found you, and I would not let you go. You are beautiful, my love, as the morning dawn, fair as the moon, clear as the sun. Drink deeply of love... until the day breathes and the shadows flee away. [Outro] [Rhythmic cello riff and deep bassline slowly repeat, drums strip back to soft heartbeat] [Female Voice - Fading soft harmonic vocalise]: Oooooh... My beloved is mine... [Lead Voice - Ultra-deep final whisper]: I am my beloved's... and my beloved is mine. [Final resonant oud note and low cello decay into warm silence] [Fade out] [End]
