לאה: מה עוד נותר? (Leah: What More Can I Give?)

[Intro: Slow, crying electric blues guitar. Heavy vibrato. 3D holographic space. Dead silence between notes] [Verse 1 - Leah: Deep, Raspy African-American Contralto - Soulful Blues] מה עליי לעשות, יעקב? מה עוד לא נתתי? I gave you my youth, I gave you my pride But you’re still searchin' for the bride that’s inside וַיַּרְא ה' כִּי שְׂנוּאָה לֵאָה... The Lord saw my tears, but you turned your head I’m the mother of your house, but a ghost in your bed. [Verse 2 - Dialogue: The Struggle] (Leah): "הַפַּעַם יִלָּוֶה אִישִׁי אֵלַי..." (Leah): Maybe this son? Maybe this pain will make you stay? (Jacob - Deep Gritty Baritone): My eyes were set on the beauty, Leah. My heart was already gone. (Rachel - High Thin Soprano): (Softly) You can’t force a river to flow where it won’t go, sister. (Leah): (Shouting) I gave him eight! I gave him a daughter! I built the walls! (Leah): Tell me Jacob, what is the price? What is the sacrifice?! [Chorus - Heavy Slow Blues Climax: Clinical Separation] (Leah - Deep/Gospel): WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME? (Jacob - Deep): (I gave you my name, but my soul is a stone) (Rachel - High): (I am the one he dreams of, when he's all alone) (Leah): "עַתָּה הַפַּעַם יֶאֱהָבַנִי אִישִׁי..." (Leah): I’m screaming to the heavens, while I’m fallin' on my knees. [Bridge: Weeping Slide Guitar solo. Tight rhythmic pulse. No mud. High-end transparency. Every string vibration is visible] [Outro - Leah: Alone, fading into the blues] (Leah): I’ll give you another son. And another. (Leah): Until the name of Leah is all you can hear. (Leah): "הַפַּעַם אוֹדֶה אֶת-ה'". (Leah): Maybe today... you'll finally see me. [Final sound: A sharp, dry blues guitar chord that rings out into a black background]
